Meet the breeder
I'm Carla C., the breeder behind The Zeus N Luna 2 Pay it Forward Foundation located in Pflugerville, TX. We treat out dogs like our children / family. They live in the home with us and are only kenneled when we have company over that are nervous about being around German Shepherds. We donate 80% of the puppies to Veterans but sell 2 out of each litter to keep the foundation up and running.
Q. & A. with Carla
Why did you start breeding?
I wanted to share the love I have for Shepherds for those who have PTSDWhat makes your program special?
Each puppy gets loved by all sorts of folks, kids, adults, we care for each of them as if they were going to stay here. Each puppy also goes home with a folder with MOM and DADs DNA, the OFA certifications, and a How too for puppy health, they also get a bag of dog food, canned and dry, puppy toys, blanket, harness, lead and seatbelt. This way I can ensure a safe start upWhat are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies have long coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black and silver and black and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?

Verified owner · May 2026
I found her very easy to work with. And great communication. I got to see both the parent dogs. She is a breeder who works for the good of the breed. I met the puppy she had and he decided he was coming home with me. I got him home and he settled in well. Learnt a new command straight away. But he is struggling with one command - “No that is not a chew toy”
