About Summer

Sweet Summer has come a long way, and now she’s ready to find her forever home. This beautiful German Shepherd mix was found skinny, soaked, and alone in a junkyard—but despite the rough start, her spirit has never wavered. At just eight months old and weighing under 30 pounds, Summer is a petite bundle of love, resilience, and joy. She’s now fully vaccinated and spayed, and she's thriving in her foster home. Summer is playful, people-loving, and especially great with kids—she lights up around children and would make a fantastic family dog. She can be a bit selective with other dogs, but with slow, proper introductions, she does wonderfully. Her confidence continues to grow, and she’s learning every day that the world is full of kindness and fun. Whether it's running around the yard, snuggling on the couch, or playing with the kiddos, Summer is ready to be the sunshine in your life. All she needs now is a loving family to show her what forever truly means. Come meet Summer and let her warm your heart—just like she's warmed ours.
