This Young Shepherd Mix Keeps Searching the Parking Lot—Daxter Just Wants to Find His Family

Meet Daxter, a handsome 1.5-year-old Shepherd mix who’s been waiting at Animal Friends of the Valleys in Wildomar, CA since being picked up as a stray on July 7, 2025. With his golden brown coat and striking black shading around his eyes, Daxter’s soulful gaze is impossible to miss—and hard to forget.
