About Feta

Feta is a dapper male German Shepherd mix from the "Charcuterie Litter," who made his way to Louisville, KY from an eastern Kentucky shelter. Feta stands out for his mix of social charm and that easy puppy sweetness—he’s happiest with an arm around him but won’t turn down a bout of silly, energetic play either. He shares his shepherd looks with his mom, Charcuterie, but there’s a bit of mystery to what else is in the mix. Feta gets along well with both cats and dogs, making him a great option for a multi-pet household. He’s still young, so there’s plenty of blank canvas for you to help shape. Give him room for puppy antics and, in return, he’ll bring that new-dog joy right to your doorstep. Your new best friend is just one click away.
