Purple is an affectionate, energetic black German Shepherd who always wants a friend nearby. She is gentle, cuddly, playful, and confident enough to help discipline the younger puppies. Purple checks on everyone equally, loves being involved in family life, and may bark if startled by a visitor—but does well with calm, controlled introductions. She is intensely interested in cats, so interactions with cats or small animals need close supervision and continued training.

Ideal Home

✔ Children
✔ Another friendly dog
✔ Active or moderately active home
✔ Secure, appropriately tall fencing
✔ First-time or experienced owner committed to training
Purple would thrive with a family that wants an affectionate, social companion involved in everyday life. She enjoys activity but is settling in as she matures. Because she dislikes being alone, she would especially appreciate another friendly dog or people who are home regularly. A cat-free home may be the simplest fit, though a home prepared to manage and train around cats could also work.
Why We Love Purple
Purple is energetic, affectionate, and incredibly sweet. She always wants a friend nearby, checks on everyone in the family, and completely melts into our arms when we hold her.
