My story

Meet Bones, our happy and cheerful 3-month-old German Shepherd puppy, brimming with love! Rescued from Covelo, a small rural area with few options for puppies, she was discovered outside a local grocery store, waiting for a second chance at life. Thankfully, Bones caught the attention of Bones Pet Rescue, an organization devoted to caring for abandoned dogs in the area, especially since there isn’t a local animal shelter available. Though she’s still young, Bones has already mastered crate training and loves cozy naps and peaceful nights. She's a calm travel buddy, handling car rides like a champ and soaking up all the new sights and sounds around her. With her playful nature and gentle spirit, she adores her toys and enjoys spending her days snuggling with her foster family while shadowing the resident dogs, eager to learn and partake in their adventures. So far, Bones has shown her intelligence by quickly learning that the great outdoors is the right place for potty breaks! This sweet girl has captured our hearts, and we’re excited to be part of her journey toward finding a forever home where she will be loved and cherished. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a fun-loving spirit, Bones is ready to fill your life with joy and affection! Bones will soon head to her foster home in San Jose after a short stay at her current location, either by car or via a Pilots and Paws flight, where her new foster family will get the delightful opportunity to name her. Have you checked out our YouTube channel? We would greatly appreciate your support by subscribing, liking, and commenting on the videos we share of our adoptable shepherds in action. You can also follow us on Instagram,  Facebook, and our newest Threads account, where we post plenty of news and updates about our shepherds. As a foster-based rescue, ShepHeroes is always in need of fosters. There are many shepherds in our local shelters who require our help for a fresh start. Would you be willing to open your home and share part of your life to help these dogs find new families? You provide the love, and we will provide everything else! Saying "yes" today truly saves a life. Please complete this form: https://www.shepheroes.org/foster-form, and we will be in touch as soon as possible. We appreciate your consideration. ##2515037##

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Bones, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
