About Fable (foster to adopt)

Meet Fable! If you're looking for an active, intelligent, and incredibly loyal companion, Fable is your girl! At just 9 months old and approximately 45 pounds, this beautiful pup is still growing into the amazing dog she's destined to be. Fable is heartworm negative and full of the playful energy you'd expect from a young shepherd mix. She loves to stay busy and thrives when she has plenty of exercise, enrichment, and time with her people. Whether it's hiking, playing fetch, learning new tricks, or going on adventures, Fable is always ready to join in!

She gets along well with other dogs and has lived successfully with a cat. At first, she was eager to convince the cat to play, but she's learned to respect boundaries and will leave the cat alone when told no, making her a great candidate for a home with a dog-savvy feline.

Ideal Home

Fable is looking for an active family that understands young, high-energy dogs and is ready to invest the time and love she deserves.

Ongoing Health

Fable is heartworm negative.

Training & Support

Like many puppies, Fable is still learning the ropes. She enjoys chewing if she doesn't have appropriate toys or enough mental stimulation, so she is crated when left alone to keep her safe and out of trouble. She's crate trained and settles in well while her family is away. Fable would benefit from continued obedience training to help channel her intelligence and enthusiasm. She is eager to learn and will thrive with a family committed to helping her reach her full potential.
