Lupita is a five-year-old Shepherd mix in Amherst, NY, who embodies resilience and grace. After overcoming a tough past, she's finally getting the chance to rediscover just being a dog.

She’s spayed and fully vaccinated, and her comfort with cats is still unknown. If you’re looking for a dog who will reward steady encouragement with trust and affection, Lupita might be your match.
