About October

Hiya Friends! My name is October and I'm a beautiful 1yr old female German Shepherd. I was in a scary shelter all alone, beginning to shut down. Thankfully, my rescue organization busted me out of there and now I'm in a great foster home! I'm a young girl and am still learning all sorts of things, but with patience and yummy treats, I'll pick up obedience commands quickly! I'm a beautiful, young, resilient, friendly, athletic, and lovely new companion - I'm your girl if you're looking for one!

Ideal Home

My dream home is with a person or family who will give me lots of love, a dog bed of my own, tasty treats, take me on walks, give lots of tummy rubs, and help me live my best life. I would love to explore in the neighborhood or on walking trails, play zoomy tag with a nice male doggo, and snuggle on the couch. I would do fine with older kids (10+) and am good with large dogs, but I cannot live with cats.

Ongoing Health

All dogs are up-to-date on vaccinations, heart-worm testing, monthly preventatives, and are spayed or neutered.

Training & Support

I'm still navigating house and crate training, so please be patient with me. If you have yummy treats, I'll pick up obedience commands quickly!
