German Shepherd Mix Puppies

Saturday, January 25, 2025

Meet the Mythical Six: Zeus, Hades, Apollo, Aries, Athena, and Hera!

Update 2/19/25 - all pups have been adopted!

On a quiet stretch of a rural country road, a heartbreaking discovery was made—a litter of six tiny German Shepherd mix puppies, abandoned and left to fend for themselves. At just four weeks old, these pups faced a tough start in life, but their story is now one of hope and resilience.


German Shepherd Mix Puppies

Zeus, Hades, Apollo, Aries, Athena, and Hera are thriving in the loving care of a dedicated puppy foster. These sweet pups embody all the wonderful traits we love in German Shepherd puppies: playful, curious, and eager to learn. Their days are filled with bounding energy, tail wags, and their first exciting steps in training and socialization.

About the Puppies

  • Zeus: The leader of the pack with a courageous spirit and a love for adventure.
  • Hades: A gentle and thoughtful little guy who loves cuddles and quiet moments.
  • Apollo: Full of life, always ready to play, and eager to explore his surroundings.
  • Aries: Bold and spunky, a natural protector and charmer.
  • Athena: Wise beyond her weeks, quick to learn, and sweet as can be.
  • Hera: The nurturer of the group, always looking out for her siblings with a soft heart.

Each pup is growing stronger every day, thanks to proper nutrition, vaccinations, and the care they’re receiving in their foster home. They are learning the ropes of puppyhood, from basic commands to playtime manners, and will soon be ready to meet their forever families.



As with all puppies, these roles may evolve as they grow and develop their unique personalities. While Zeus may seem like the leader today, and Hera the nurturer, those dynamics might change as they mature and discover more about themselves and their world.

What They’re Looking For

These puppies need homes that can match their energy and intelligence. As German Shepherd mixes, they will thrive with families who are active, patient, and committed to continuing their training and socialization.

Available for Adoption Soon

Zeus, Hades, Apollo, Aries, Athena, and Hera will be ready for adoption soon! Stay tuned for more updates as these incredible pups grow and get ready to bring love, joy, and loyalty to their forever homes.
