About German Shepherd

Meet Pine Cove Penelope, a long-legged, gentle pup with a curious heart and a sweet, soulful spirit. This adorable fellow will make you want to slow down and appreciate life's simpler gifts by his side. Estimated to be around 3 months old and weighing about 25 pounds, Penelope is likely a German Shepherd mix. What we are certain of is that this handsome guy is ready for a home with a good supply of toys, steady treats, and lots of love. You can see Pine Cove's delicate kisses, adorable ears, and calm demeanor on YouTube.

Pine Cove is a pup of few words and many kisses, and is gently inquisitive in nature. He will definitely return all the kisses you give him and more, but would just like to politely sniff you down first. We are so impressed with his long, lean legs and think he will grow to be a tall, cool drink of water, so be prepared to make lots of room right next to you on the couch. His curious heart and those long legs are made for exploring; Pine Cove is eager to discover and learn new things at his own thoughtful pace. His expressive ears are even more animated than his soft, searching eyes, and he uses them to every advantage. We have had such fun just sitting next to Pine Cove and allowing him to relax and feel safe, then watching him play and investigate everything around him.

Ideal Home
