Bamboo is one of four sweet Shepherd mix puppies rescued from a crowded rural shelter in Kentucky and brought to a foster home in Chicago. DNA from a littermate says this group is a blend of German Shepherd, Doberman, a touch of Chihuahua, Australian Shepherd, Great Pyrenees, and a dash of other working breeds. At three months old, Bamboo weighs around 15-18 pounds and will likely mature to about 50-70 pounds. He’s curious, energetic, social, and happiest when busy—an ideal match for an active household ready to commit to the work that raising and training a puppy requires. Puppies like Bamboo need plenty of play, engagement, mental stimulation, and frequent potty breaks throughout the day. If your schedule can’t allow for time-intensive puppy care and training, he might not be the one for you. He’s neutered, microchipped, up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccines, and started on preventatives. Bamboo gets along well with cats, other dogs, and children.
