About Summer Smiles The Sunshine Girl

Summer Smiles is a German Shepherd mix, about 4 years old and weighing 45 lbs. She's a small but mighty bundle of joy, a true social butterfly who will be your personal cheerleader, always bringing a smile to your face and brightening your day. She loves everyone she meets, knowing no strangers and forming instant connections. Summer is a go-with-the-flow girl who is happy wherever she is and whoever she's with, making it impossible not to fall for her friendly and goofy personality.

Ideal Home

Summer would love a home with a backyard where she can zoom around, play, and sunbathe, but she could also thrive in an apartment or condo. She adores people and would be a fantastic companion for someone who enjoys hosting gatherings, as she'll be right in the middle of the fun! She also gets along wonderfully with children and would be a perfect addition to a family, having shown an immediate connection with a 7-year-old.

Ongoing Health

Summer is a rescue, so her exact breed and age cannot be guaranteed. She has been spayed, microchipped, and is up-to-date on all her vaccinations and preventative care.

Training & Support

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