Story
Bacci is a beautiful 6-year-old German Shepherd with a big heart and a big personality. He’s sweet, playful, and full of energy—always ready for a game, a walk, or a crunchy tomato snack (yes, tomatoes are his favorite treat!). He’s a quick learner who knows all his basics and thrives on positive attention. He’s great with cats, has been around other dogs, and does okay with kids, especially if they’re gentle and give him space when he needs it. Bacci does best in a calm and caring home—ideally one where his family can offer him plenty of love, structure, and time to relax. His current environment is giving him some anxiety, and his human is making the incredibly difficult decision to rehome him out of deep love and concern for his long-term well-being. He deserves a place where he can feel at peace, be himself, and be cherished. If you have the time, love, and space to welcome this loyal, tomato-loving shepherd into your life, Bacci will repay you with joy, loyalty, and endless kisses

Bandita: Your Spunky Sun-Baby with a Side of Sass! ☀️😎Get ready to meet your new favorite co-star in life's grand adventure: Bandita! This approximately 11-week-old Shepherd mix is a delightful 14-pound bundle of goofy charm, spunky sass, and pure, unadulterated sunshine! Currently bringing smiles to Kenosha, WI, Bandita is on the lookout for a family ready for endless laughs and cuddles.Bandita is a cuddle pro! When you scoop her up, she'll playfully throw her head back, practically demanding *all* the love and attention – and trust us, you'll be happy to give it! This affectionate girl knows how to make you feel special.Housebreaking? It's a work in progress for this little outlaw, but she's a smart cookie! She's a social butterfly when it comes to other dogs, ready to romp and play with canine companions. Cats are still a mystery to her, so a tolerant feline or a cat-free zone might be best for her grand entrance.Leash training is a new frontier for Bandita, so she'll need a patient human to guide her on her exploration missions. Crate training is also on her to-do list – she's sleeping in her crate now, but she's always dreaming of those ultimate snuggle spots! As for manners, her foster family is currently focused on helping her ace potty training – one step at a time!Now, for her personality! Bandita is as goofy as they come, with a personality that's larger than life! She's got spunk and sass in spades, making every moment an entertaining one. When the zoomies hit, watch out – she's incredibly fast and loves to race around the yard, leaving a trail of happy chaos! And her favorite pastime? Being a true "sun baby"! You'll often find her sprawled out in the yard, soaking up every glorious ray, recharging her batteries for the next adventure.Bandita is up-to-date on her age-appropriate vaccinations and is already microchipped. She is not yet spayed due to her young age, but her adoption fee includes a $150 deposit that will be returned upon completion of the procedure.---**Bandita's Bold & Beautiful Breakdown:*** **Name:** Bandita (Your charming little outlaw of fun!)* **Gender:** Female* **Age:** Approx. 11 weeks* **Weight:** 14 lbs* **Breed:** Shepherd Mix (expect intelligence and lots of personality!)* **Temperament:** Very affectionate, cuddly, goofy, spunky, sassy, sun-loving!* **Kid Friendly:** Yes!* **Dog/Cat Friendly:** Dogs - Yes! Cats - Unsure* **Housebroken:** No (working on it!)* **Leash Trained:** No (needs a patient guide!)* **Crate Trained:** Sort of (needs more training!)* **Vaccinations:** Age-appropriate & UTD* **Microchipped:** Yes* **Spayed:** No (too young)* **Sleeps:** In her crate currently* **Location:** Kenosha, WI* **Adoption Fee:** **$500.00 + $150.00 spay deposit = $650.00**---**A Note to Potential Adopters:** All adopters must be prepared to provide a loving and supportive home for Bandita, including ongoing training, appropriate exercise (especially for her zoomies!), and veterinary care, including her future spay.
