Zinnia's Story

If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application at the link below and plan to attend our puppy adoption event on Sunday June 14th at Gypsy Road Brewing from noon - 2 pm. We will also hold a puppy yoga class with them beforehand at 11 am. Learn more and get your ticket on our website! http://www.lovethemutt.org/2026/05/puppy-yoga.html<br/><br/>Breed: German Shepherd or possibly a mix <br/><br/>DOB: 04/27/2026<br/><br/>Weight: The puppies in this litter currently weigh between 7 and 12 lbs at 7 weeks of age. Mom will weigh 70-ish lbs when she reaches full weight. She came to us as an emaciated and pregnant stray. We were not there at the time of conception, so we don't actually know who their dad is. BUT there was a male GSD who was dumped in the same place at the same time as her, and we suspect he could be the dad or A dad of the puppies (since each egg is fertilized individually, technically each pup could have a different father). It will be fun to watch them grow! Any adopter should be prepared for them to be mixed breed but to also have the personality, intelligence, and charisma of a German Shepherd. And also the thick coat.<br/><br/>Notes from foster: Zinnia is sassy girl! She is brave and one of the first from the litter to explore. She's pretty fearless and loves everyone she meets. When she wants her foster mom's attention, she lets her know with the song of the shepherd! She is also a very sweet baby and loves to nap near or on her foster mom.<br/><br/>Medical notes: The puppies have had 1st round of vaccines, multiple wormings, and have been microchipped. Adopters take over the veterinary care for continued vaccines, but the cost of their spay/neuter is covered in their adoption fee.<br/><br/>If you are interested in giving Zinnia the permanent, loving home that she deserves, please fill out an application at the link below to get the ball rolling on a meet and greet.<br/><br/>https://form.jotform.com/202046006590041<br/><br/>If this link doesn't open by clicking on it, just copy and paste it into a new browser.<br/><br/>Adopters must live within a 45 mile radius of Winston-Salem.

Stepping Stones Canine Rescue's Adoption Policy
If you see a dog or puppy on our website and would like to start the process of saving a rescued animal – please visit our website to fill out an application. lovethemutt.org. The application will be processed by an adoption counselor. We will make contact with you to answer any questions you may have and review your application. Incomplete applications will not be considered, as the information you give us on your application is essential in determining the compatibility of the dog you have requested with your life-style. At this time, we will also conduct a vet reference to determine the health of your past and current animals.  ALL potential adoptive families must have up-to-date veterinary records on all pets currently residing in the home. We believe for health and temperament reasons that it is in the best interest of the dog to be spayed or neutered
