My name is Danny!

Meet Danny!

A lively four-and-a-half-year-old German Shepherd from Peoria, AZ, who is equal parts charm and energy wrapped in a striking black-and-tan coat. With her impressive 70-pound frame and soulful eyes, Danny is the quintessential loyal companion, ready to fill her new family’s life with laughter, play, and love!

Danny is a true athlete at heart—fetch is her ultimate joy, and she’ll play tirelessly until your arm needs a break. Her Bark Box toys are her prized treasures, and after a busy day of play, she’s happiest curling up at your feet, her loyal presence warming your heart. While she hasn’t had formal training, she’s already a pro at commands like “sit,” “outside,” and “mimi’s” (her cue for kennel time). She’s a quick learner and thrives with positive reinforcement, so a little time invested in training will go a long way.

This playful girl is friendly with strangers and adores young children, making her a wonderful addition to an active family. She’s selective about her canine companions, so a home without large dogs (or with a well-matched smaller dog) would suit her best. While she hasn’t had much interaction with cats, her adaptable nature leaves the door open for careful introductions.

Danny’s routine is straightforward: she eats once a day, enjoys regular exercise, and rests comfortably in her crate when left alone. A home with a fenced yard is essential for her to safely channel her high energy, and a pet parent who enjoys runs or long walks will find a perfect partner in Danny.

Though her stomach is a bit sensitive, her current diet keeps her happy and healthy. Vaccinated, spayed, microchipped, and house-trained, Danny is ready to transition seamlessly into a new loving home. She needs a family willing to embrace her zest for life and keep her active and engaged.
