Hello there! My name is Janie, and I'm a lovable German Shepherd eagerly looking for my forever home. My ideal home would be with a loving family who enjoys outdoor activities and plenty of snuggle time. I'm a sweet and friendly girl with a heart as big as my fluffy coat. I thrive on human companionship and love to show my affection through gentle nuzzles and wagging tails. I have an abundance of energy to burn and adore outdoor adventures like hiking, running, and exploring new trails. Regular exercise is essential to keep me happy and healthy. I'm patient, gentle, and always eager to make new friends, both human and furry alike. However, I prefer to be the only pet in the household so that I can soak up all the attention! A spacious home with a fenced yard would be ideal for me to roam and play freely. I'm also a quick learner and would thrive in a household that provides positive reinforcement training and mental stimulation to keep my brilliant mind engaged. If you're searching for a loyal companion to share your life's adventures, look no further than Janie! I promise to fill your days with endless love, joy, and plenty of tail-wagging moments. So what are you waiting for? Let's embark on this journey together and create paw-some memories that will last a lifetime!

More about this shelter
Our mantra has always been protecting people from the dangers and nuisances of uncontrolled animals and keeping animals safe from mistreatment and abuse. Promoting, motivating and enforcing responsible pet ownership is our number one goal.
Contrary to the "limited admission" philosophies of some shelters for companion animals, our shelter has an open door policy. We turn away no animal, regardless of health, temperament, age or condition. Unfortunately, this does not enable us to place every animal in a new home. In reality of course, not all of the animals we take in are good candidates for placement. The sad fact remains however, that many otherwise healthy animals never get adopted because there aren't enough families who want them.
Our philosophy is to keep working at the root causes of pet overpopulation and irresponsible pet ownership - to provide alternatives to indiscriminate breeding of pets, to encourage people to become better pet owners and to make our community a better place for both people and animals.
What we value...
•A balance of enforcement and education promoting responsible pet ownership
•Homes for animals that are free from mistreatment and abuse
•Better communications, cooperation and tolerance among neighbors
•To live peaceably without suffering the nuisances and dangers caused by others' pets
•Pride in vital service we render to the community
•The difference of beliefs about the place animals have in our society
•Sensitivity to the high emotions which accompany animal problems
