• “Hi, I'm Calcifer! I am a male German Shepherd. I was named after the fire demon in the studio ghibli movie, "Howls Moving Castle." I am a Christmas Eve baby, and I was born December 24, 2023. I am a future sports dog, and I do dabble in bite sports with my mom. I am heavily trained as my mom doesn't like reactive and untrained German Shepherds. I am also kept up with my grooming as I am a longer haired GSD! My favorite things are swimming, fetch, running, and wrestling my sister, Tesla! I do have a major FOMO, so I can be pretty whiny, and my whine is a little loud, so I am sorry about that. I do go crazy over getting attention, and I think I'm a small dog, so I try to crawl into people's laps. Mom is training me to work on that, though, so I can get my obedience titles!“

  — Alexis L.

• “Super cute and hyperactive, I love running and getting my parents to chase me!! I love playing tug and finding treats. I’m reactive on leash but I just wanna protect my parents! We are working on my reactive behavior, can’t wait for summer“

  — Haven T.
