About Bullet

Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you. Bullet is a striking sable German Shepherd, approximately 2 years old, who came to Tier Haven Rescue alongside his suspected sibling, Lilith, after being found as a stray. Energetic and curious, Bullet thrives on exploring his environment and seeks out new sights and smells with enthusiasm. While he meets new people well, he's currently more interested in investigating his surroundings than being people-oriented. Mental and physical stimulation are essential for him to be happy and engaged, so an active home with someone ready to provide both would be ideal. Bullet hasn’t spent time with children younger than 13 while at the rescue, but there's no indication he wouldn’t do well with kids. With dogs, Bullet can be a bit pushy at first but has shown improvement, especially after being separated from his sibling and getting used to his new foster friends. He enjoys coexisting with other dogs but is not considered cat friendly and should not be placed in a home with cats or small animals. This handsome, adventurous Shepherd is searching for a home filled with the guidance, exercise, and love that active shepherd breeds crave. If you’re ready to provide him with the structure and stimulation he enjoys, Bullet will make a loyal and spirited companion. Think you are the one? Submit an application!
