Meet Kendall, she is a quiet three-month-old German Shepard mix who was born Nov.18th 2025, with a gentle spirit and an independent streak.

Currently, she is working on potty training and is doing great. She is also wonderful with children. Kendall is sensitive in the sweetest way, she responds beautifully to gentle guidance and is very handler-focused.

Story

Meet Kallie, who is the perfect blend of affectionate, confident, and delightfully independent. This sweet girl has a bright personality and isn’t afraid to “chat” a little. She can be vocal at times, but it’s more adorable commentary than anything else!She’s almost fully potty trained and is doing better every single day. With consistent opportunities to go outside, she’s learning to hold it longer and is well on her way to mastering it. Kallie is currently comfortable in a playpen setup rather than a traditional kennel and settles nicely in her space. She would thrive in either an apartment or a home, as long as her people are committed to providing mental stimulation and engagement. Kallie is a three-month-old German Shepard mix with a medium drive and enjoys playtime but isn’t over-the-top high-energy. She loves stuffed toys and chew toys and has already started track training and beginner obedience work. She’s smart, eager, and enjoys learning!She is located in Houston, Texas. However, we transport to most states for an additional fee of $300.

Disclosure: Breed labels are often incorrect: we rarely know the genetic lineage of the dogs we rescue. Many shelters and rescues specify breeds based on appearance; however, research has shown that less than 2% of a dog’s DNA determines appearance! Passion 4 Paws does not practice the use of labels pertaining to compatibility with others or dog breed. Labels such as “dog friendly” and “child friendly” should be used with caution as they often over-simplify the personalities and behavior of dogs. February 21, 2026, 9:02 am
