About Matcha

Meet Matcha. This young German Shepherd is bursting with the typical energy and curiosity of a working breed puppy.

Playful and active, Matcha is still very much in his developmental stage. He has lived successfully with children, making him a good fit for a family environment. However, he may do best in a home without cats as he matures. With his strong temperament, drive, and eagerness to engage, Matcha is ready for an adopter who can guide him through the basics and into adulthood. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
