Hey there! My name is Lynx, and I am a German Shepherd mix. I was found at an elementary school all alone when I was around 6-8 weeks old. I was scared being all alone, so I kept trying to follow the kids inside. After a few days, a kind teacher noticed me and took me home to try to find my family, but no one ever claimed me.
I am now in a foster home enjoying life, chewing on toys, eating good food, and making mischief. I will need a family that has experience with the German Shepherd breed since I am extremely mouthy and like to talk back when my foster mom tells me no. I also think that ankles and fingers are designed to be tasty little treats! I show signs that I will be very intelligent when I get older and would thrive with some good puppy training.
In my current foster home, I live with 4 adult dogs and 4 cats. The other dogs love me and let me get away with chewing on their ears and tails, but the cats keep hissing at me so I haven’t been able to get close enough to play with them.
If you think I would make a great addition to your family and you have experience with the breed, please fill out an application today!

Something to Consider:
Puppies don't train themselves
If you aren’t willing to train a puppy every single day, don’t get a puppy! It isn’t a one-shot deal. You have to be dedicated. And if you aren’t making progress – find someone who can help. Enroll in a puppy training class or hire a trainer. Most cities across the nation have some sort of availability for this kind of help and at different cost levels that would fit your budget.
Puppies are going to poop a lot and pee even more; chew on everything; bite everyone; scratch people and furniture; steal things; destroy something at some point; pull on the leash; not move at all on the leash; bark; cry; beg for attention; and the list goes on. You’re going to have to walk them, bathe them, pick up everything below waist height, buy new shoes, and most importantly: TRAIN THE PUPPY NOT TO DO THESE THINGS! Ultimately, it is your responsibility to teach your puppy that this behavior is unacceptable.
Puppies turn into dogs...
