My story

We take the dogs that are adopted down...so if a dog is on the website they are available. Obedience training and fully fenced in yard is required for all our pups.   Completion certificate for training needs to be emailed once complete.  Please only send inquires to the email in this bio all others will not be answered. Please read the bio before sending questions - we answer all we know about the dog here. Meet Ursa – The Perfect Mix of Maturity and Playfulness!   Hey there, I’m Ursa!  I’m a Shepherd/Labrador mix, and while I’m past the "puppy phase" , I’m not quite a lady of leisure just yet. I’m that perfect sweet spot between experience and adventure – wise enough to know what I like, but young enough to be up for whatever fun comes my way!    I’m your go-to car companion  – whether it’s a ride to the park, a trip to the vet , or even just running errands, I’m all in! I might not be a fetch expert (yet!), but my foster dad’s got me practicing, and I'm getting better with every toss!    While I used to be a bit more reserved, a little time with my German Shepherd friend showed me how to embrace the cozy side of life.  Now, I’m all about those couch cuddles and being the first to spot the mailman on his rounds  – I take my neighborhood watch duties seriously.   Housebroken and always polite , I’m a tidy pup who loves outdoor adventures.  I’ve been known to run laps around the yard with my foster brother in a game of chase – it’s one of my favorite ways to burn off energy! And when it’s treat time?  You better believe I’ll be the first one in line with a perfect sit and the sweetest paw shake you’ve ever seen.    Did I mention I’m a pro at canoeing?  Yep, I passed the "silly test" and hopped right in like a champ – no water-walking for me, though, I prefer to keep my paws dry!    I might take a moment to warm up to new dog friends , but with the right introduction, I’m quick to show you that I’m the loyal protector you’ve been looking for. I may have a little bark , but that’s just me keeping an eye on things (and maybe chasing squirrels for fun). Cats? We’ll have to see – they’re still a mystery to me!    With my energy in full gear   and my health on point  , I’m always ready for the next adventure. Whether it’s sitting, laying down, shaking paws, or showing off my signature heel move (a funny little circle), I’m here to entertain and keep you laughing!      So, are you looking for a fun-loving, confident companion who’s past the puppy phase but still full of spunk?   I might just be the one for you! Reach out to my friends at Heidi’s Legacy Rescue Network  , and let’s start this amazing journey together!      Tail wags and giggles, Ursa    Ursa's adoption fee is $400 - obedience training required after adoption also required is a fully enclosed fenced in back or front yard   Obedience training is also required for all our pups. Please email us the completion certificate.
