Story
we have had Grendel for 6-7 and he is about that old. We lived in an apt for a year and he was house trained then but he has since then been outside in a fenced in yard and heated dog house. We have a 4 yr old and a 1 yr old. He leaves them alone for the most part, I am just not comfortable with them out playing with him, so I put him on the leash when they are outside. He would love to play with them he is just so strong I’m scared he will accidentally hurt them. He get next to no attention from us. So when he does get it he is extra hyper and jumpy. He chews on anything left in the yard and digs. I assume that is because he is bored and could be fixed with attention. We have an older shih tzu that he leaves alone. We have found he will whine when away from our house. He will need someone that can take the time to work with him and let him adjust to a new home. He really needs somewhere where he can run and some one who is not intimidated by him jumping on them until that

Story
This sweet pup showed up in our yard one day in April of 2024 and we have been fostering him ever since. He has grown over the past few months and we have kept up with all of his immunizations in the mean time. He is very energetic and affectionate. We have small kids and a small yard, so he would be better suited in a home with more room to roam and children he cannot knock down. If not for our current situation, we would totally keep him. We would love to find him a wonderful, loving home.

Story
We adopted Sheila from the GBHS in May 2024, when she was a skin-and-bones 5-month old, spayed the previous day. Her eyes melted our hearts, as they continue to do. The intention was to add her to our family as in indoor dog. We also have an aging 14-year-old rescue as well as a rescue cat - both of which tend to grudgingly escape her presence and constant attempts to play. Now she's a very healthy 38lb 10-month-old, solid muscle, and needs much more exercise than we can provide in our late-60's/early 70's. She constantly pulls on a leash, and although she'll "Sit!" on command (even with other dogs passing by), the word "Stay!" barely registers before she leaps up and barks at other dogs, wagging, wanting to play, but still pulling hard on her harness. While our yard is on a steep slope and chain-link fenced at between 3-4' in height, Sheila cannot be trusted to remain alone even for an extended pee-break without escaping. Please help us find her a home where she can safely play!
