Meet Pacho and Pierro, our 2‑year‑old female German Shepherds who came in together and immediately showed us how delightfully opposite they are.

Pacho, the sleek black shepherd, is more reserved. She’s shy at first and likes to take her time getting comfortable, but once she warms up, she’s gentle, sweet and eager to learn. She’s still perfecting her “sit,” but she’s highly motivated by snacks and considers treats a perfectly acceptable form of payment.

Pierro is her total opposite in the funniest way. She’s outgoing, energetic and convinced every new person is a friend waiting to happen. She’s playful, enthusiastic and working on her “sit” with the kind of confidence that says she’s sure she’ll get it any minute now.

Although they arrived together, they don’t depend on each other and are perfectly fine going to separate homes. Whether you’re looking for a dog with a reserved disposition, one with a livelier spirit or the pair together, Pacho and Pierro are ready to meet you.
