Shepsky puppies and dogs in Bellingham, Washington

The personality. The face. The size. The EARS! Everything about Kaiser Cruz from head to toe, inside out, is literal perfection. Shepherd lovers better hurry up because he won't be available for long. He is snuggly, dog friendly, loves the outdoors, smart, and great with kids! The list can quite literally go on and on and on. Biggest flex this boy has are those amazing ears. Full of personality and full of cuteness. Watch his video and fall in love with this sweet boy: https://youtu.be/ajZy2JOkRrw?si=SuyuCzdNV99fOIl2 Kaiser Cruz is believed to be a Shepherd mix approximately 8 years old and currently weighs 64 lbs. He is a rescue dog and with any rescue it's always a mystery, and we cannot guarantee breed or age. Kaiser is the perfect combination of affection while also being independent. He's not overly needy with his love nor does he ever over do it. If you're someone that works from home, he'll be a great work from home buddy because he's not going to be constantly begging you for attention or getting into things he shouldn't be (he has wonderful house manners I might add). He's the type that will come up to you when the time is right for a little ear/nose scratch almost as if he knew you needed a 5 min break from work. As for the rest of the time, he's a window watcher and loves looking out windows or he'll be playing with a toy. While Kaiser waits for his forever family, he is being spoiled by his foster family and they absolutely adore him and rave about him. He is currently fostered in a home with kids ages 4 and 8 years old, and Kaiser has been nothing but sweet perfection around the kids in his foster home. They have the best time playing together, snuggling, and he loves being a part of a family dynamic. Kaiser is very tolerant with all of the kids in the home and just loves them to pieces. He has no issues when the kids are playing with his toys, running around, and is frequently found giving them the gentlest kisses. It's the sweetest thing! If you have kids and are looking for a bestie for your kiddos, Kaiser is definitely your guy. Not only is Kaiser great with kids, he is also very dog friendly and has done great with all the dogs we have introduced him to and is also fostered in a home with an 8 month old playful pittie mix. Kaiser has been around dogs all with different personalities and has done great with every single one. Kaiser is wonderful about meeting new dogs and will either play with them or will go off and do his own thing. That's what is so great about him, the way he is able to adapt to the dogs around him. He can run around, have a good time and he also just as happy going off and doing his own thing while the other dogs are being wild. Kaiser is more about exploring and doing his own thing rather than playing with other dogs. Though when Kaiser does play, he plays like a total shepherd. If you know shepherds or have ever owned one, then you know they love mouthy air play, will give nose boops where they see fit LOL, and use their paws like they are professional boxers at times all while keeping things lighthearted and fun. Shepherd play is definitely entertaining to say the least. Kaiser would love to have a dog sibling in the home, but if you don't have one, that's okay too. He does not need the company of another dog to satisfy his energy needs or to help him open up. Kaiser would love to be in a home with a backyard where he can sunbathe anytime he wants, roll in the grass, and explore all the fun smells. He would make a great companion while you garden and relax on the patio enjoying the fresh air. He’ll enjoy going on neighborhood walks, mini adventures and then will happily lay next to you for cozy time. Kaiser is such a good boy, a 10/10! Now, he just needs a family to call his own. We are willing to test Kaiser Cruz with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

If you’re looking for a partner who thinks the best place on Earth is glued to your side, then Tony is your guy! He’s a happy, cream colored adventurer who believes that life is a team sport, and he’s ready to be your MVP. Tony is the ultimate Velcro dog with a side of goofy, a serious passion for pets and snuggles. Whether you’re working at your desk, eating dinner, or just hanging out, Tony will gladly curl up right under your feet. He wants to be involved in every single thing you do especially if it involves a garden hose! Watering the plants becomes a hilarious game of splash and play when Tony is around. He is a loyal companion and will greet you at the door with his favorite toy in his mouth, ready to show you how much he missed his favorite person. You have to see this goofy boy in action check out his below to see his famous hose zoomies! https://youtu.be/achl-y6icUg While his true DNA is a mystery, we suspect Tony is a majestic Husky mix with a coat as soft as a cloud and a heart twice his size. Tipping the scales at a sturdy 63 lbs, he is the ultimate adventure sized sidekick. He’s solid enough to be your hiking partner, but compact enough that he won't hog the entire couch during movie night (though he’ll definitely try to negotiate for the middle cushion!). Tony is basically a professional co pilot in training; he loads up into the car with ease and is always sitting pretty and ready to hit the road for a pup cup or a park trip. As with all our rescue superstars, his breed is a best guess, but those soulful eyes and "toasted marshmallow" looks are 100% guaranteed! Tony has been absolutely thriving in his foster home, and let’s just say he’s the ultimate house guest! He’s a total gold star student when it comes to house rules; he is fully potty trained and hasn't had a single "oopsie" indoors he’s much too sophisticated for that! When it’s time for some quiet time, Tony is crate trained. He treats his kennel like his own private, cozy VIP lounge where he can catch up on his beauty sleep. He currently lives with a 30lb canine sibling and even some tiny human kiddos (yep, including a little one under a year old!), proving he’s a gentle, patient soul who is a friend to everyone. If we told you he graduated at the top of his class, you’d believe us this boy is one smart cookie! He’s a straight-A student with his manners and is already a master of "sit," "down," "stay," "place," "left," "right," "up," and "off." He even knows his "kennel" command by heart; he’s basically a genius in a fluffy fur coat! When it comes to other pups, Tony is a total gentleman! He’s a regular at doggy daycare and is perfectly happy to be part of the pack, though he’s not the type to get caught up in high-speed wrestling matches. He’s more of a social observer who enjoys the company of others without needing to be the center of the action. Whether he’s hanging out with his 30lb foster brother or wandering the yard at daycare, Tony is a peaceful, easygoing friend to all dogs. He’s a medium energy guy who has truly mastered the art of the chill. While he might engage in a little play here and there, he is more than content to just share a warm sunspot in the grass with a buddy. Because he’s so well adjusted and mellow, he’d be a fantastic addition to a household with other dogs, but he’s also perfectly happy being your one and only star of the show! Now, what about the feline variety? Tony hasn't told us his official opinion on cats just yet! We have a feeling Tony is more than willing to share his world of cuddles and sun soaking spots with a kitty friend! To make sure he’s ready to hand over a snuggle permit to a feline roommate, he’d love to have a cozy kitty sleepover with one of our rescue cats as a trial run! This way, we can ensure Tony is on his way to becoming the bestest of buds with a cat before the official move in day. Tony’s dream home includes endless ear scratches, a yard for epic water hose adventures, and a family who doesn't mind a very cuddly 63 lb shadow! Because Tony is an outdoor enthusiast who takes his yard duties very seriously, he is looking for a home with a fenced in yard rather than an apartment. He needs that private green space to ensure every single blade of grass is thoroughly sniffed and every warm sun spot is perfectly lounged upon! Once his very important yard work is done, he’ll be ready to head inside and resume his favorite job: being right by your side. Whether it’s supervised gardening or movie marathons, Tony just wants to be part of the team. And if you’re a fan of a morning serenade, you’re in luck; Tony loves to start the day with a gentle, happy "awoo" to let you know he’s ready for breakfast and some morning snuggles. He’d thrive with a family who wants a devoted partner for every adventure he’s the kind of boy who will greet you at the door with his absolute favorite toy held proudly in his mouth, wiggling with pure joy! He might take a couple of days to fully settle in and show you his peak goofy personality, but once he knows he’s home, you’ll have a devoted companion for life! Tony is the definition of a total package, pup who checks every single box you could ask for: he is fully potty trained, crate trained (it’s his favorite private VIP lounge!), and is incredibly gentle and patient with kids of all ages. In short, Tony is a brilliant, toy toting, water loving gentleman who is just waiting for the right family to give him all the snuggles he can handle. He’s the perfect blend of a trained scholar and a cuddly, happy go lucky best friend! https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/69d92e0e46ec1036ed088b94 Questions?

If your dream dog is the kind that can’t get close enough to you, the kind who melts into every pet, leans in for more, and turns affection into her full-time job… Tamera Honey is about to be your girl. She has that big, over-the-top, all-in kind of love that Shepherd people know and hope for. The kind that makes you laugh, makes you feel wanted, and somehow makes every interaction feel like the best part of her day. But wait…there’s more! Tamera Honey is not only incredibly sweet but she is also amazing with kids, dog friendly, respectful around cats, smart, and the list can go on and on. She’s a special one, no doubt about that. Watch her video and you’ll see just how sweet she is: https://youtu.be/ghl6TxnJ81Q?si=zweDqvJtpjKEIcsn Tamera Honey is believed to be a German Shepherd mix approximately 1–2 years old and currently weighs 58 lbs. She is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it’s always a mystery and we cannot guarantee age or breed. Just based on looks alone, it’s pretty fair to say she has some GSD in that DNA. We’d love to find adopters who have a little GSD experience under their belt, someone who understands their fun, independent spirit and is ready for a loving, adventurous companion. Tamera is dog friendly and has done great with all of the dogs we have introduced. She does prefer slightly slower introductions before jumping into playtime. When she does play, she plays like a total shepherd. If you know shepherds, then you know the vibes. Mouthy air play, little nose boops where she sees fit, and plenty of chase games. It’s entertaining to say the least! Tamera is more of a bounce-around, run-alongside-her-friends kind of girl rather than constant wrestling. She will give a subtle correction if she’s not feeling it or if play gets too rough, like an older sister setting fair boundaries. Always appropriate, always respectful. Tamera would do best with a moderately playful dog that enjoys both playtime and downtime. A buddy who can match that balance would be perfect for her. If you don’t have another dog, that’s totally fine too! Tamera doesn’t need a doggy companion to feel comfortable or fulfilled. She is a total lovebug with her people and will be perfectly happy with backyard play sessions or neighborhood walks with you. Tamera also met our house cat Biggie and did great. She was respectful, didn’t chase, and wasn’t bothered by typical cat behavior. Biggie was comfortable around her as well. While we don’t know her full history with cats, she showed all the right signs. If you have a cat, we can always arrange a meet-and-greet or sleepover to be sure it’s a good fit. Tamera is a smart girl too! She is very treat motivated, eager to please, and already knows so many tricks! She knows how to sit, down, shake, spin, roll over, and speak! Tamera loves to make you happy and gives us the impression that she is the type that you can teach anything too. She walks fairly nicely on a leash and may pull occasionally out of excitement, but she responds well to gentle reminders and is easy to refocus. She’s also comfortable tandem walking with other dogs. On top of that, she is crate trained and potty trained! With consistency and a few treats, any additional training will be a fun and rewarding experience for both of you. Tamera would thrive in a semi-active home that enjoys neighborhood walks, a little adventure, and a whole lot of affection. If you’re someone who loves to host, she will absolutely be the first one at the door greeting your guests. And if you’re having a quiet day at home? That’s perfect too. She’ll be happiest right there with you. She would make an amazing adventure buddy. Take her to the park, explore nature trails, go on outings, or visit your favorite local spots and watch her collect fans everywhere she goes. Tamera would thrive in a home with a backyard where she can stretch her legs, soak up the sunshine, and happily hang out alongside you while you go about your day. With this beautiful gals voice, apartment life won’t be a good fit for her. When it comes to kids, Tamera just gets it. She has been around children as young as 7 and handled it beautifully, like she instinctively knew exactly where she belonged. She was gentle, patient, and so naturally in tune with them, soaking up affection while staying respectful of their space. There’s something really special about the way she interacts with kids. It’s easy, calm, and genuine. She doesn’t come in too hot or overwhelm them, she simply fits right in, like she’s always been part of the family. Tamera has all the makings of a true family dog, the kind who will happily be part of playtime, then settle in right alongside everyone for those quieter, cozy moments. She’s the kind of dog who just wants to be part of your life, wherever that may be. We are willing to test Tamera Honey with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?
