Kaya is a lively one-year-old German Shepherd mix brimming with energy and curiosity. He thrives on play—zipping around the yard, sniffing out new scents, and soaking up attention from his people. Crate-trained, Kaya settles down calmly after active moments and is learning to patiently wait for his leash before walks. Like many young shepherds, he sometimes gets mouthy when excited, so he’s best suited to a home without small children while he finishes learning polite play. He enjoys the company of other dogs and is working on adjusting his play style to match theirs. No resource guarding has shown up around food or toys—he just wants to engage and be part of the fun. With ongoing structure and exercise, Kaya is set to blossom into a loyal, well-mannered companion. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
