Badb

Meet Badb (BIBE), a spirited one-year-old German Shepherd Husky mix from Tacoma, WA, whose boundless energy and love for play make every day an adventure. With a striking tricolor coat of white, tan, and black, she’s a gorgeous blend of two intelligent and athletic breeds, and she’s growing into a strong, compact pup—currently 70.8 pounds of pure enthusiasm!

Badb is all about movement. She lives for chasing after balls, sprinting full speed across the yard, and indulging in a good chew toy session. If there’s a game to be played, she’s ready to jump in! Despite her playful, high-energy nature, she also has a softer side—lounging in chairs and soaking up attention like a true companion dog. She adores being with her humans and wants nothing more than to be part of the action.

While she’s house-trained, she’s still young and learning to navigate her emotions, so the occasional accident can happen when she feels nervous. She’s also working on gaining confidence when left alone—right now, she makes her feelings known with an impressive vocal range (let’s just say you won’t forget she’s there!). A structured routine and a patient pet parent will help her continue to build trust and security.

Badb has a big personality and knows a few basic commands like “sit” and “lay down,” but she’ll thrive with additional training to channel her energy and intelligence in positive ways. She’s spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, crate-trained, and ready for a home with space to run! She'd ideally like a fenced yard where she can zoom to her heart’s content. While she enjoys canine companionship, she’s selective with other dogs—especially females—so careful introductions will be key if she’s joining a multi-dog home.

With her eagerness to please and her affectionate nature, Badb is looking for an active, engaged pet parent who can provide both structure and playtime. She’s a loyal, loving pup just waiting for the right person to guide her into adulthood.

Could Badb be the perfect fit for your home? Reach out to learn more about this playful, devoted companion!
