Reba Shepherd Minneapolis, MN

Reba is a 2-year-old Shepherd mix with a heart of gold, a hilarious personality, and an endless supply of affection for her humans. At around 60 pounds, she's a clever, adventurous girl who thrives on being part of the family. Reba's love for her people is as strong as her smarts--she's incredibly loyal, quick to learn, and even quicker to get involved in whatever her humans are doing! Whether you're gardening or doing laundry, Reba is right there carrying the garden broom or giving clothes the sniff test--happy to show you her unique charm and her genuine desire to be involved.

Reba's dream home is one where she can run, play, and explore to her heart's content. With her love for freedom, a yard where she can sprint and chase toys off-leash would be perfect. A secure, 6-foot fence is a must since she's a bit of an escape artist and will try to outsmart anything lower. She's also a big fan of outdoor adventures, so a family who enjoys hikes, long walks, or jogging would make an excellent fit. At the end of a long day, Reba is easy to manage at home--she is fully house trained and settles well in her crate, treating it as her safe space.

Reba may be independent, but she thrives when given lots of mental stimulation, affection, and playtime. She'd be happiest with humans who can laugh at her antics and appreciate her playful, talkative nature. Reba's communication style is endearing--she'll bring her food bowl over and plop it in front of you when she's hungry, or nudge you if she's ready for a game. Monitoring squirrels from her favorite perch or solving all of your dog puzzles are among her favorite pastimes, and she loves showing off her tricks!

Reba does well with other dogs after a slow introduction, and she's shown warmth around children too, although her energy makes her best suited to homes with older kids. Due to her prey drive, she's not a good fit for homes with cats or small animals.

She's a true family member who brings joy, laughter, and endless love to her people. If you're looking for a dog who's equal parts brains, energy, and heart, Reba is ready to charm her way into your home.
