Description

Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog / Mixed. // Find our applications at .midwestanimalrescue Adoption Fee: $600 plus tax Summit is an 18-week-old German Shepherd mix who believes the best place to be is right next to you. Sweet, cuddly, and people-focused, this little guy lives up to his name—he loves to climb, and if he’s scaling furniture or obstacles, it’s usually just his creative way of getting closer to his person. Summit is a smart cookie and learns quickly. He knows some basic commands and is food motivated, which makes training a fun activity. He is learning that his crate is a safe space and settles in nicely after a short adjustment. He may briefly sing you the song of his people (think “tiny hyena”), but once he’s comfortable, he does just fine. He is doing great with house training! He will likely be smaller than your average German Shepherd, making him the perfect size for adventures without the giant-dog footprint. When it comes to friends, Summit is a social butterfly. He loves other dogs, is especially respectful of older pups. He adores humans of all ages—including kids. He’s cat-curious but a[[ears to want to play. He hasn’t lived with feline friends that we know of, but would likely do fine. Summit somehow skipped the classic puppy phase of biting hands and ankles, proving he’s a pretty polite little gentleman. Summit is an agile, affectionate, and joyful puppy who’s ready to grow up alongside a family that will love him as much as he loves them. If you’re looking for a loyal sidekick with brains, heart, and a touch of playful mischief, Summit may be your perfect match Come meet me and my friends at the 2026 Twin Cities Auto Show!
