Meet Cinder!

Cinder is a stunning 2-year-old German Shepherd/Malinois mix with a sleek black coat and a heart full of love. She's a sweet, affectionate girl who forms close bonds with her people and is eager to please.

True to her breed mix, Cinder is intelligent, energetic, and happiest when she has a job to do. She would thrive in an active home where she can keep both her body and mind busy-whether through training, dog sports, or plenty of daily exercise and enrichment.

Cinder is ready to be someone's loyal partner and best friend. If you're looking for a devoted companion with working-dog smarts and shepherd charm, Cinder could be the perfect match.
Please do your breed research before applying to adopt. German Shepherds and GSD mixes are a special breed of dog with special requirements. These dogs were bred to have a job, and without the right activity level/purpose they won't flourish which can lead to issues down the road. These dogs are incredibly smart and need to be challenged both physically and mentally to really be happy. The German Shepherd is known to be vocal when excited and can be a bit mouthy at times, proper training is key in helping your German Shepherd adjust to their new life. German Shepherds are a fun, athletic breed that many have fallen in love with over the years, but please keep their breed needs in mind when considering adding one to your household.
