Meet Ostara – A Springtime Spirit in Puppy Form!

Say hello to Ostara, an 8-pound bundle of joy who’s ready to blossom into your new best friend! With her stunning Merle coat and mesmerizing blue eyes, Ostara is more than just a pretty face—she’s a playful, curious, and affectionate little girl who’s already stealing hearts in her foster home.

Born on February 18, 2025, Ostara is an Australian Shepherd/German Shepherd mix, which means she’s got the smarts and the spirit. She’s still a pup, so she’s looking for a family ready to guide her through obedience training and help her master house manners—she’s a quick learner and eager to please!

Ostara is friendly with people and loves hanging out with other dogs, making her a great addition to a multi-dog household. While she hasn’t been tested with cats or other animals yet, her curious nature means she’ll likely be up for introductions with proper guidance.

With moderate exercise needs, she’ll be thrilled to romp around in a securely fenced yard, explore new smells, and then curl up for some well-deserved snuggles. Her ideal day includes playtime, learning something new, and soaking up all the love you have to give.

If you’re looking for a pup with personality, beauty, and tons of potential, Ostara might just be your perfect match. Give this blue-eyed beauty a forever home, and she’ll give you endless tail wags, kisses, and memories to last a lifetime.
