Story
We rescued Jenny from a local shelter 3 years ago. She will be 4 years old in March. Due to unforeseen scene circumstances , she will need to be rehomed. She has been and still is the sweetest pup. She like pets and snuggles and all the attention. She loves to play fetch and run FAST. Mild shedding that's maintained with brushing. Heavier shedding in winter. Jenny does have a bit of love aggression. She will bite and nip with excitement when greeted at times. She would benefit from proper training. Chew toys help her meet her need to bite down, however she does like a variety of textures to choose. She does not like being mounted by male dogs. She has been around many other dogs with occasional confrontation with boundaries being crossed. I am confident she will fit in perfectly with the right person who can meet her needs.

Story
Fredo is a 2 year old fun loving boy. He has always been an inside dog and I would prefer he go to a home that can continue this treatment. He eats regular hard dog food, not from the table. He likes to play catch. He lives with small children ages 6-9 and with one senior dog aged 14. Serious inquiries only please.

Story
Star was found w/ another Shepherd about 2 yrs ago. We vetted/ spayed and rehomed the girls to a family with many kids. They had a large backyard with a covered patio and doggie door to the garage. Sadly they moved out of state and left them behind. Star will transition into house life with proper training. She comes inside into crate at night or in rain weather. I take her for walks often and she is pretty good and does not pull you on leash. She can get excited if she sees a squirrel. Star will sit, off, and down. She could use some consistency with training and more attention than we can offer. Star can be food dominant at times, but is good for humans with food. With experienced owner she can be with other dogs. The girls had a playmate come visit at previous home. Once Star feels safe she will be a great smart and loyal companion who will love belly rubs and her kind human friend. Star really wants to please and be a good dog once she Trusts you. Can adopt w/ Penny

Story
Leo is almost 4 years old. He's very sweet and loves to cuddle. Knows commands like sit, turn, roll, heel, down, and go to bed. He was potty trained in his puppy stage but as an adult we could not get him to follow his potty training anymore. He is used to running in a big backyard. We are hoping to rehome him to a family with a backyard. He is now living in a small apartment with us and unable to go out as often as he used to. He is also accompanied by his partner, Piper, who's a morkie. We require the adopter to adopt both of them. Each fee is for 1 dog only

Story
Penny was found with her friend Star and we vetted the girls and rehomed them a couple years ago. The family moved out of state and were unable to take them with and we are seeking a new home. Penny would probably do BEST and happiest as the only dog bc she LOVES human companionship so much and loves children too. She is a beautiful and loyal girl who would like a great home hanging out with her family. She is sure to make you smile. She is in a foster home living with another female dog. She isn't a great dog playmate. She wants to be a human friend. We can also rehome her with Star if you are looking for a pair of Shepherds.
