About Gardenia

Meet Gardenia! This spirited 10-week-old German Shepherd mix is ready to bring adventure to your life. Gardenia was found with her mom and siblings, and while her dad remains a mystery, she’s projected to grow into a medium-sized dog, likely weighing around 40-50 lbs when fully grown. According to her foster mom, Gardenia is the boldest of the bunch, often the first to explore anything new. With a lovable and spunky personality, she loves tummy rubs, although they’re short-lived as she’s always on the lookout for the next exciting thing. Gardenia seeks an active family that understands the commitment required in raising a puppy. Although she’s already learned some basics, she'll benefit from continued training and guidance. Good news for potential adopters: Gardenia does well with other animals, kids, and cats. By mid-July, she will be fully vetted, including being spayed, microchipped, and updated on all vaccinations and preventative care. She’s available for local meet-and-greets, and out-of-state adoptions can be arranged for approved applicants, with a transport fee in addition to the adoption fee.
