Howdy Y’all, I’m a handsome happy-go-lucky Shepherd mix puppy about 13 weeks old, weigh 19 lbs, and have the softest fur. I was living in San Antonio Texas in a home with a couple of Chihuahua mix puppies when our owner could no longer care for us. We were surrendered to 4 Little Paws Rescue and even though my paws will end up more of a medium size, they knew I deserved a better life somewhere other than Texas. I am a happy friendly boy with lots of puppy energy, my tail always wagging and I make friends easily with everyone young and old. I love romping and wrestling with my puppy friends, trying my best to not step on the Chihuahuas and I love all doggy toys. I’m very affectionate but easily distracted, I’m a puppy, and when I see the other puppies playing I must join in, LOL! I’m good in a crate with a couple of toys and at night I sleep in a dog bed or under my foster mom’s bed. I’m just a nice happy friendly sweet boy and would make a wonderful family dog. East Coast families, inquire about me today, and let's get this party started!
* 4 Little Paws is based in CT. We adopt in many different states along the East Coast. Transport costs are included in the adoption fee. If you are located outside the states we typically adopt to, we have options to get the dog of your dreams to your location.

Please DO NOT apply unless the entire family / household is on board with adopting one of our dogs. We must receive an application for you to move forward in the process. Thoughtful direct emails are welcome and will be answered. However, an application is still a necessary step. We want to make sure we find our dogs a perfect fit with a family so both the dog and the family are happy. We keep our dogs with fosters once we get them out of shelters for a little bit to learn and understand their personalities. Our relationship with families doesn't stop at adoption! We are always available for any follow up questions and are happy to be a resource as you and your new pet settle into a routine.
