Aspen, Gentle German Shepherd Mix Ready for a Loving Home—Could You Be Her Forever Family?

Meet Aspen, a 1-year-old German Shepherd mix (possibly Shepsky) with a gorgeous tan, white, and black coat and sparkling blue eyes. She arrived as a stray on 12/26/2025 and is listed in the 76–100 lb range, though she appears to be on the lower end—a bit chunky but not very tall. Aspen has an easygoing, calm presence and a heart full of love.

Aspen is well behaved, appears to be housebroken, and has a gentle, affectionate nature that makes her a joy to be around. She’s smart and already knows how to sit on command. Currently kenneled with another female dog, Aspen gets along beautifully and shows friendly, social behavior.
