Story

Bumble is at our shelter. Please submit an application from our website or just come in to meet her during open hours! Bumble will be at our Subaru- Highland Park event this Saturday (10/17) from 10a-2p for you to meet! Scroll through her pictures to see her cute videos! Bumble is a beautiful German Shepherd pup who came to Heartland from rural West Texas with her brother, Tinder. And if you're looking for a dog with brains AND beauty, this girl has both in abundance! Bumble is one smart cookie. She's extremely food-motivated, walks nicely on leash, and is at that wonderful age where she's ready to soak up everything someone is willing to teach her. We think she'd be a fantastic candidate for training, and she'd love a person who finds working with a clever young dog rewarding. She's also a social girl who enjoys other dogs. Interestingly, when Bumble is with her brother, the two sometimes develop a little extra confidence and can get rather bold with other dogs, including barking right in their faces! Separately, though, she's much less likely to behave that way. Apparently, sibling peer pressure is a thing in the dog world, too. Bumble and Tinder are not a bonded pair and are available for adoption separately. We'd love to see Bumble have the chance to develop her own identity and confidence without her brother encouraging her shenanigans! Like any young German Shepherd, Bumble will thrive with someone who understands the importance of training, enrichment, exercise, and giving an intelligent dog something productive to do. She's beautiful, bright, social, and full of promise. All she needs is someone ready to help her become the amazing dog we know she can be! Come meet Bumble! Bumble’s adoption fee is $300. This animal is spayed up to date on core vaccines, and Heartworm negative.
