Mastiff German Shepherd Dog

Story
Beauty is a 2-year-old mastiff sweetheart weighing about 55 lbs, with a gentle soul and a thoughtful, observant nature. She appears to do well with other dogs and is great with older kids, though she hasn't been tested with younger children yet. Cats are untested, and she's shown interest in rabbits, so a small-pet–free home may be best. She's a polite leash walker and a very nice sitter, making outings calm and manageable—especially on quiet trail walks, which she prefers 🌲. Beauty does well crated overnight and is housetrained, though she does enjoy chewing and will happily "redecorate" stuffies given the chance 🧸😄 She can be a bit stubborn or wilful at times, but that's all part of her charm. Beauty is low to moderate energy and can be nervous with big arm movements or when she's outside of the house, so she'll thrive with patient, gentle humans who let her build confidence at her own pace. She doesn't care for water (puddles and baths are a hard no 🚫💦) or car rides, but she loves peanut butter, chasing frisbees, and settling in with her people 🥜🐶 If you're looking for a loyal, quirky companion who enjoys peaceful walks and cozy time at home, Beauty might just be your perfect match ✨

Story
🐾 Meet Lacy! A 7 year old, 13lb terrier mix witha PhD in comfort. Lacy's idea of a perfect day? Sleeping somewhere soft, carpet, blankets, sweaters, your bed (especially your bed). She'll carefully root around until everything is just right, then settle in like a tiny queen She's very affectionate, on her terms of course, and loves chest and face scratches, stop too soon and she'll politely lick you to request more. Lace really enjoys car rides, treats of all kinds (extra points for Peanut Crunch biscuits), and will happily supervise all kitchen activity. She also has a special fondness for dirty laundry, which she considers an excellent chew toy - smelly socks left unattended at their own risk 🧦😅 Lacy walks pretty well on leash but may need a little encouragement around other dogs as she's still building up her confidence. Crate-wise, she's doing well and just needs a few treats and a little reassurance. House training is almost perfect! The very occasional accident but she's learning fast to let you know when she needs to piddle! 🥇 Important notes for her future home: Lacy is sensitive about how she's handled if touched in ways she doesn't like (no butt pats, please). Because of this, she's best suited to an adult-only home with people who understand canine boundaries and body language 🧠🐶 If you're looking for a loyal little companion who bonds deeply with her people, Lacy may just be your girl. She doesn't trust easily, but when she does, you feel it ❤️ She deserves a loving, safe, forever home. Could it be with you? *Lacy is not tested with cats

Story
Meet Fifi! 🖤🤍 This gorgeous 5-year-old shepherd–husky mix (70 lb of fluff and opinions) is ready to find her perfect match! Fifi is a loyal, low-energy companion who mostly wants to be near her humans — ideally supervising you from the couch while giving you her signature side-eye of approval. 👀💕 Fifi is kennel and house-trained, loves her stuffies, and will proudly collect any dirty socks left within reach. She'll even treat you to a celebratory zoomie lap after every successful potty break — it's her thing, and she's very dedicated about it. 🏃‍♀️💨 While Fifi may be able to befriend other dogs with slow, gentle socialization, she's looking for a home without kids or cats. She can be cautious and reactive on walks, so she does best with a calm, confident handler (and a halti, after she gets used to it) to help her feel secure. Her heart, though? Pure gold. A soft girl who loves peanut butter, apples, and cozying up with her people, Fifi is searching for someone patient and understanding — someone who sees the magic in a quirky, loyal companion. If you're ready for a snuggly sidekick with a goofy streak, Fifi would love to meet you. 💛🐶
