About Beep

Meet Beep! This playful, medium-sized mixed-breed shepherd is about a year old and weighs around 41 lbs. She comes from an unplanned litter and has been thriving in her foster home.

Beep keeps her family entertained with fetch and tug-of-war and is always down for a treat-finding game or just a cozy TV cuddle. She’s affectionate and quick to learn, making her a smart choice for someone who enjoys training or even agility activities. Beep would do well with a family ready to make her an active part of daily life, whether it's playtime, relaxing on the couch, or even sharing the bed. Ready to fall in love?
