Story
Meet Spring — the little shepherd mix who’s blooming into something truly special. Spring’s first chapter was far harsher than any puppy deserves. He was rescued just in time from Skid Row, where someone was preparing to “trade” him for drugs. But even after all that, this sweet little boy still leads with love. It’s impossible not to be moved by his spirit. Under a year old and full of heart, Spring is everything you hope for in a young dog: friendly, curious, gentle, and endlessly optimistic. He gets along beautifully with dogs, cats, and kids. He’s that rare, easy-going pup who seems to make friends everywhere he goes! Right now, Spring is in a premier training program, and he’s proving to be an absolute star student. He loves to learn, loves to please, and you can practically see his confidence growing every day. He’s going to make someone incredibly proud and happy. Spring is ready for his forever family. He is ready to spring into a home where he’s safe, loved, and celebrated for the remarkable little soul he is. If you’ve been searching for a puppy with sweetness, resilience, and a whole lot of joy packed into one adorable package, Spring is waiting for you. Come meet Spring today!
