Say Hello to Cerelia – A Smart & Silly Shepherd Sweetheart!

Looking for a puppy that’s equal parts brains, beauty, and bounce? Meet Cerelia, an 8-pound dynamo with bright blue eyes and a heart full of love! This gorgeous girl was born on February 18, 2025, and is a perfect blend of German Shepherd and Australian Shepherd—two breeds known for their intelligence, loyalty, and energy. Did I mention she also loves to nap? 

Cerelia’s coat is a beautiful mix of brown, white, gray, and black, and her personality is just as colorful! She’s silly, playful, affectionate, and already showing off her smarts. Though she’s still learning the ropes (yep, potty training and obedience are on the agenda), she’s eager to please and will thrive with patient, positive guidance.

She’s friendly with new people and enjoys the company of other dogs, making her a great fit for a home with canine siblings. She hasn’t been tested with cats or other animals just yet, so slow introductions would be best if you’ve got a mixed crew at home.

Cerelia has moderate exercise needs—she’s not a marathon runner, but she’ll definitely want a daily walk, some backyard zoomies, and a good game of fetch. A fenced yard is a must for this curious explorer to safely stretch her legs and soak up the sights, sounds, and smells of the great outdoors.

Cerelia is ready to bring a little chaos, a lot of cuddles, and a lifetime of love to her forever family. If you’re ready for puppy kisses, playtime giggles, and the unmatched bond of a shepherd mix, Cerelia is your girl.
