About Dill Pickles Lower

Meet Dill Pickles, a 7-month-old male Shepherd mix weighing in at 70 lbs. He's a sweet boy who was born right here at the shelter back on January 16, 2026. Dill Pickles found a home as a young pup, but sadly, he was returned to the shelter because he "got too big." This sudden change has understandably left him confused and scared. Dill Pickles has a gentle nature and has previously lived with children and other dogs. Although he may be feeling anxious in the shelter environment, there’s so much more to him than what we see in his kennel. He needs a loving family who can give him time and reassurance to help him understand he is safe once again. He has shown signs of being house trained, so with some patience, he can easily transition back into home life. With the right support, Dill Pickles will shine as the loving companion he truly is.
