About Summer Smiles The Sunshine Girl

Summer Smiles is a social butterfly and your personal cheerleader, guaranteed to brighten your day and keep you smiling! This friendly, smart, and petite German Shepherd mix is about 4 years old and weighs 45 lbs, the perfect size for any home. She adores every person she meets and forms instant connections, making her a true joy to be around. Summer is incredibly dog-friendly and loves to romp, play, and relax with her canine pals, and she even showed a respectful curiosity towards a resident cat.

Ideal Home

Summer would thrive in a home with a backyard where she can play and sunbathe, but she can also do well in an apartment or condo. She loves to be the life of the party, so if you enjoy hosting, Summer will be right there with you! She also has a special love for children and has connected beautifully with a 7-year-old, making her a wonderful potential family dog.

Ongoing Health

Summer is a rescue and her breed and age are based on appearance and behavior. She is up-to-date on all vetting, including vaccinations, deworming, flea and heartworm prevention, and has been spayed and microchipped.

Training & Support

Summer is a treat-motivated learner who already knows how to sit on command. She walks well on a leash and is crate and potty trained, making her ready for adventures like hikes, park visits, or beach trips.
