About Shivers

Meet Shivers, known as Sweetie Pie! This delightful 5-month-old Dutch Shepherd mix is as sweet as her nickname implies. Currently weighing about 30 pounds, she’s ready to fill your home with love and laughter. Shivers has had a challenging past. After being adopted from a shelter, she was returned and unfortunately found herself on the euthanasia list due to overcrowding. Thankfully, Barkin Dogs Rescue stepped in to give her a new lease on life. Her leg has since healed beautifully, and she’s now a happy, playful puppy! This affectionate pup loves everyone! Shivers gets along brilliantly with kids, dogs of all sizes, and even cats. She enjoys playtime with her furry friends and has plenty of energy for outdoor adventures. At day's end, she winds down around 8 PM, ready for some quiet time with her loved ones. Shivers would thrive in an active family eager to include her in their daily lives. A fenced yard would be great, and while she’d love to have another dog to play with, it’s not a must. Despite her rough beginnings, her joyful and loving nature shines through, eager to find a forever family. Adoption Fee: $500 Shivers is fully vetted, spayed, and up-to-date on vaccinations, with a clean bill of health and ready for adoption!
