See Luffy’s HomepageGo to our official websiteMeet Luffy — a 31-lb, 1-year-old, neutered German Shepherd mix with a heart as big as his ears. Luffy didn’t always know what it meant to be a carefree pup. After spending much of his early life in a kennel, he’s now discovering just how wonderful the world can be — and watching him experience “firsts” has been pure magic. The first time he found a toy? Pure joy. The first time he mastered stairs? So proud. Now that he’s tasted freedom, Luffy is blossoming into the happiest little shadow you could ask for. He loves carrying his toys around the house, following his people wherever they go, and handing out the sweetest kisses. He’s house-trained and enjoys being outside — especially if you’re out there with him. More than anything, Luffy just wants to be near his family. Because of his past, he’s still learning that his people aren’t going anywhere. He may cry briefly when settling into his crate at night, but it doesn’t last long — soon he’s sleeping peacefully until morning. And when he hears the household waking up? That tail starts wagging like crazy, especially when he sees his favorite little human. He is incredibly gentle and loving with kids and has shown such a sweet, patient nature. Luffy also adores other dogs. When he met a pup his size, he was in absolute heaven having a playmate! With his youthful energy and playful spirit, he would thrive in an active home with older kids (8+) and maybe even a canine sibling to romp around with. Luffy is ready to leave to start his forever adventure with a family who will love him as much as he loves them. If you’re looking for a loyal, playful, affectionate best friend, Luffy is waiting to meet you.
