About Habanero

Habanero is a sweet-natured, medium-sized young pup with a bit of everything in her lineage—German Shepherd, Lab, Staffie, and Malinois. Born February 16, 2024 (which makes her an independent and adventurous Aquarius), Habanero weighs in around 45 pounds and has a soft, medium-length coat that blends black, tan, and beige. She grew up with her mom and seven littermates, learning all the basics from day one, and her gentle personality reflects those early days. She loves to play with other dogs and would thrive in an active home that enjoys hiking or outdoor adventures. Habanero is friendly, eager to please, and happily wags her tail for hugs or puppy kisses. Playtime and snuggling are her favorite pastimes, but she’s also crate trained, house trained, and comfortable on a leash in public. While she hasn't been cat-tested herself, two of her siblings live harmoniously with cats after introductions—so it's likely she could do fine with a thoughtful introduction. Her foster family thinks she’d do well with kids, given her calm and gentle temperament, though she hasn't lived with children directly. Habanero is healthy, up to date on vaccines, spayed, and microchipped. She's now looking for a loving, forever family who will give her the attention and adventures she deserves.
