Story
I recently adopted Bruce about 4 months ago from a local shelter. I was warned about the high energy and maintenance but I took him anyway as my first dog! Bad idea I don’t have nearly enough time to take care of him the way he needs. We’re talking maybe one walk every other day at this point. Shepard are suppose to atleast get a hour or 2. He’s completely bored with me I think he needs a home with more space and people that are actually able to maintain a good schedule for the pup. He also has allergies that need to be tended to monthly not much of a problem it’s just leaving him for so long unattended without exercise isn’t great for him. In his best interest he needs a new home asap!!

Story
Meet Sasha! 🐾 Sasha is a happy, playful 2–3-year-old Shepherd mix who is ready to find her forever family! This sweet girl showed up at a boarding facility and quickly made it clear that she absolutely loves people. She’s bright, affectionate, energetic, and always ready for some fun. One of Sasha’s biggest strengths is how smart and eager to learn she is. She already knows her basic commands and is both potty trained and kennel trained — what a great foundation for her new family! Sasha has plenty of youthful energy and would thrive with an active family who enjoys getting outside, playing, training, and keeping their dog engaged. She’s the kind of girl who wants to be part of the action and would love a family that can match her enthusiasm. Like many young, excited dogs, Sasha is still working on containing her excitement. She can be a little enthusiastic when greeting people and needs continued guidance with keeping all four paws on the floor instead of jumping up. With her intelligence and willingness to learn, we think she’ll make wonderful progress with consistent, positive training. We’re still learning how Sasha feels about cats and children, so those introductions will need to be handled thoughtfully. Sasha is a young, joyful girl with so much love and potential to give. If you’re looking for a smart, playful, people-loving companion who is ready to learn and experience life by your side, Sasha may be your girl! ❤️🐶 Local adoption fee is $300 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550( includes transport to your area)
