Chela Doberman Pinscher & Shepherd Mix St. Catharines, ON

Half Shepherd, Half Doberman, Full-Time Good Girl

Chela came straight outta the field like she was escaping a country song — part German Shepherd, part Doberman, and all heart. She’s about 10 months old, tipping the scales at a lean 40 pounds, which basically means she’s compact enough to fit in your lap but confident enough to think she runs your yard.

This girl’s got social butterfly energy — the kind that can turn a pack of dogs into a conga line. She loves running, wrestling, and whatever game her canine buddies make up on the spot. She’s the kind of pup who’s happiest when her tail’s moving faster than your Wi-Fi signal.

Chela’s confident, curious, and the definition of “goes with the flow.” She greets everyone like they’ve been friends since kindergarten and doesn’t know the meaning of “stranger danger.” Kids? She adores them. Other dogs? The more the merrier. Cats? Undecided — but probably fine once she figures out they don’t play tag.

She’s still learning the finer points of house training, leash walking, and crate manners, but she’s eager to please and sharp as a tack — just needs a patient human who’s willing to laugh through the learning curve.

Chela would love a home with another friendly pup to romp with, but she’s got enough sunshine in her to brighten any home. If you’ve got a yard, a sense of humor, and an extra spot on your couch — Chela’s ready to fill it.

The Truth About Rescue:

Every rescue pup is a work in progress — and that’s the beauty of it. None of them come wrapped in a bow, ready-made or mistake-free. They come with stories, quirks, and hearts that have seen a lot but still choose to trust again.

Adoption isn’t about perfection; it’s about presence. Showing up for them, every day, until they know they’re finally home. That’s when you’ll see them bloom — soft and steady — into the very best version of themselves. And somewhere along the way, you’ll realize they were never the only one being rescued.

Once we have received your application, we will review and reach out to set-up an interview with one of our volunteers! If you have additional questions, please email us at SaintMuttsRescue@gmail.com.

Note: As with all of our rescues, we recommend homes with children 10 years and over to ensure the best fit for both the pets and families involved.
