Debbie is a 2-year-old, medium-sized shepherd mix with a gentle heart and a playful, goofy side. After being adopted as a puppy and then returned, she has grown into a dog who deserves a calm, predictable environment where she can feel truly safe. Debbie thrives on patience, structure, and a steady routine. She’s not suited to homes with children or lots of visitors—she needs an adult household that can give her space to decompress and warm up on her own timeline. She absolutely loves other dogs and would benefit from a playful canine companion who can help her burn energy and boost her confidence. Debbie’s enthusiasm in play sometimes leads to silly "love nibbles," so guidance and a sense of humor are helpful. One of her most charming habits is carrying her prized “wheel” tire around and dropping it nearby—her unique way to connect with her humans. She also relishes quiet bonding, especially if peanut butter or yogurt is involved. Fostering in Fort Collins, Debbie is looking for someone ready to meet her where she is—someone who understands how important patience and routine can be for a sensitive soul. For the right adopter, Debbie promises loyalty, laughter, and a truly special bond. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
