Story
Hello, this is Lewie! He is a 1 year old German shepherd mix that we got from a shelter as a stray. We think he is mixed with pitbull but not 100% certain. He’s a very loving pup with a good spirit. He’s very energetic and loves to run and play! He needs a loving home with a big yard to run around, and someone to give him lots of belly rubs and treats. He can sometimes get nervous around other dogs on walks, but has never once been aggressive. Giving him up is one of the hardest decisions, but unfortunately with our work schedules, we aren’t able to give him the attention and freedom that he needs. We want the nothing but the best for this boy.

Hi, my name is Steven and I would love to meet you. I have been at the shelter since Feb 25, 2025. I am a smart, playful guy who’s always ready to learn and have fun! I already know sit, lay down, sit up, and stay, and since I am super treat-motivated, training me is a breeze. My favorite thing in the world is a good game of fetch, especially if I can follow it up with some sunshine and yard time. I cannot wait to be a loyal companion and best buddy to someone like you!
