This beautiful shepherd mix is Popeye, 1 year old and 48 pounds of quiet affection and gentle playfulness. He came to the shelter with an injured front leg, but thanks to great care and a loving foster home, he’s now a proud and thriving tripawd. He’s already out enjoying neighborhood strolls and exploring the world around him with curiosity and confidence. In his foster home, Popeye has been a calm and loving companion. Whether you're working from home, cooking in the kitchen, or just relaxing, Popeye is happiest being by your side. He’s highly treat-motivated, and settles easily in his crate without a fuss. He loves resting in his bed with a toy while you work nearby. While Popeye can be shy at first, especially around men, he warms up quickly and loves to lean in for pets and brushing once he feels safe. He’s not a fan of cats, but Popeye is friendly when meeting other dogs. He’d thrive as a solo pup or with a well-matched dog friend. If you’re looking for a sweet companion who’s already overcome so much, Popeye may be your match. Click here to learn how to adopt and submit your adoption questionnaire.
