Story
Handsom T is an absolute sweetheart who is easy going and social. This friendly 8 year old male adores people and loves to smooch! He's interested, but courteous, around other dogs and should integrate well into a household with one or more large dogs.   His high energy and good mobility would make him a great hiking buddy. Since he's a big athletic guy, a strong handler is recommended for leash walks. Like many GSDs, Handsom loves food more than toys, and is an eager eater. He can be a bit grabby when taking treats, but is responding well to the ‘Gently’ command. He would be equally happy as the one and only with a single adopter or as part of a family with older respectful kids.  ##2638406##

Story
Lola T. is a beautiful 7 year old German Shepherd female weighing 64 pounds. She is the perfect size for adopters of all ages. She easily makes friends with people, and playfully seeks attention in a pushy sort of way. She does well in meeting other large dogs, especially males, and does OK meeting females but she can be a bit dominant.   She loves to sniff around every corner of her environment as a curious soul might do.  We are not sure how she would react to cats, but we do know she does great around older kids.  She is easy to walk on leash, rarely pulling, enjoys her walks and occasionally will exhibit some stiffness while walking. Her overall personality is that of a friendly, playful, very affectionate dog that likes attention and lets you know when she wants that attention, but in a loving way. To top all of this she likes car rides, knows basic commands such as "sit", "no", "come", is house-trained and has good, healthy energy.  If you are searching for a devoted, easy to live with dog, and an affectionate loyal friend, then Lola T. is ready to steal your heart. ##2653114##

Story
Meet Hanzi, a handsome German Shepherd boy who has soulful brown eyes.  His personality is that of friendly dog in meeting people, has a medium amount of energy and knows basic commands, i.e., "NO","SIT", "DOWN".   He likes car rides, and does well on walks displaying occasional stiffness, and agile enough to sometimes jump on people near him. He has a habit pulling hard on his leash especially when he sees or smells a small animal and is also interested in other dogs and people.  This is where his knowledge of commands and a strong arm come in handy.  His basic overall nature is that of a gentle, affectionate, social and independent dog who enjoys treats and toys, and thinks a sleeping pad is also a toy.  Unlike some dogs, he bonds quickly to his person and is protective of that bonding, but not aggressively. He is comfortable around older kids and big dogs, but not with any small animal.  All in all, he would be a great addition for anyone choosing to make him part of their family.  He is a good dog ready to be your best friend, and will repay you with his continued loyalty.  ##2601042##

Very treat- and praise-motivated and wants nothing more than to curl up next to you for cuddles. Sleeps quietly through the night in his crate and comfortably goes in and out of it during the day on his own.  Benson is friendly with other dogs and would likely thrive in a home with a canine companion to play with. Gentle, mild-mannered temperament Getting used to his new environment, but making great progress. House trained. Continues to gain confidence every day. Currently learning “sit,” “leave it,” and “paw” (including cooperative paw wiping when coming indoors!) and truly enjoys training sessions. Eager to please and will likely continue to be a joy to work with. Benson is a sweet, sensitive, and deeply affectionate dog who will flourish in a patient home that continues building his confidence and providing the love he so clearly     www.coppersdream.org If you are interested in adopting this dog please visit this link to get the adoption process started.
