Meet Crowley, a nearly 1-year-old Shepherd mix who arrived as a stray on June 13, 2025—alongside his twin brother, Castiel (#782718). With his long, expressive face, perfectly folded ears, and striking brindle coat, Crowley is undeniably adorable. But beneath that cuteness is a shy pup whose world has been turned upside down. While shelter life has been overwhelming, Crowley is gaining confidence every day—and beginning to discover just how good life can be with kind humans by his side.
