About Cosby

If you're looking for a smart, playful puppy with a heart as big as his ears, Crosby might just be your perfect match!

Crosby is an estimated 14-16 week-old German Shepherd mix who was rescued after being found abandoned along the side of the highway. He was only about 6-8 weeks old at the time, but thanks to rescue, he's grown into a healthy, happy puppy who's ready for a forever home. Crosby is affectionate, playful, and loves spending time with people and other animals. He gets along well with other dogs, has done well with cats and children, and enjoys every chance he gets to run, play, and discover something new. We believe Crosby will mature into a medium-large sized dog, likely around 50-65 pounds. Like many herding breed mixes, Crosby is intelligent, energetic, and loves having something to do. Whether you're looking for a walking buddy, an adventure partner, or a loyal companion to grow up with your family, Crosby is ready to fill that role—and your heart.

Ideal Home

An active family willing to continue his training and provide plenty of exercise, enrichment, and companionship. Previous experience with herding breeds is preferred.

Ongoing Health

Crosby is fully vetted and ready to go home. He has received four DHPP vaccines, Bordetella, Rabies, tested negative on a fecal exam, is neutered, and microchipped.

Training & Support

He's doing wonderfully with crate training, house training, leash walking, and has quickly figured out how to use a doggie door.
