Husky German Shepherd Dog

Female, Adult

Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained,
Story
Cleo is a beautiful 3½-year-old Husky, German Shepherd, and Shar Pei mix with the sweetest soul. She came into my life when she was about 2 years old after her previous owners had to rehome her due to moving. Since then, she has shown nothing but love. She’s affectionate, playful, and truly loves being around people. She likes being included in daily life—whether that’s hanging out with family, going on walks, or enjoying time outdoors. She’s an active girl who enjoys exercise, mental stimulation, and exploring outside. Cleo does best with regular walks, playtime, and activities that keep her engaged. Because she loves people so much, she would thrive in a home where someone is around often and treats her as part of the family. Cleo is house-trained, well-mannered, knows her commands and loves kids. She’s gentle, friendly, and eager to bond with her humans.

Ava Claire is kennel trained, puppy pad trained, and sleeps soundly in her kennel all night — basically the kind of roommate most adults wish they had.
