Looking to add a little excitement, love, and adventure to your life? Each week, we shine a light on a special shelter pet who’s ready for a fresh start and forever home. This week’s featured friend is full of personality, energy, and heart!
Meet Airbud—a bright, bouncy, one-year-old Shepherd mix with a heart full of joy and legs made for adventure. This friendly, playful boy is always ready to turn an ordinary day into something fun. He lives for fetch, loves a good game of tug-of-war, and isn’t shy about showing off his impressive jumping skills. Smart and eager to please, Airbud already knows the command “sit” and thrives on positive attention.
Airbud would be a fantastic match for an active adopter who’s excited to share daily exercise, playtime, training, and plenty of affection. Like all dogs, he’s not just looking for a home—he’s looking for a lifelong commitment. That means time, patience, routine care, and the promise to be there for him through every stage of life. In return, Airbud offers loyalty, companionship, and a whole lot of love.
You can meet Airbud in person at the Devore Animal Shelter during a meet-and-greet to see if you’re the perfect match.
Adoptions are FREE for qualifying pets, and include spaying or neutering, a microchip, and age-appropriate vaccinations. To help ease the transition into pet parenthood, MetLife Pet Insurance offers 30 days of complimentary pet insurance.
