Story
Einstein is around 10 years old and is a loyal and protective companion. He was our fathers dog, and unfortunately our father has passed away. Due to housing restrictions and other complications no one in the family is able to look after Einstein at this time. He has been around other dogs and shown some food aggression but otherwise no issues. While protective at first, he warms up to people fairly quickly. In his older age, he has shown some limited mobility but is still able to move around well. Until recently, he did have a dog living on the property with him, but that dog has also passed. Since then, Einstein has become more playful and seems to love human interaction and moves around better. We would love to be able to find Einstein a home as soon as possible where he can get the love and attention he deserves. We’ve tried to get help from many shelters and all are overflowing as is. It would mean a lot to find someone who can be a companion for Einstein

Story
Max is a rescue we picked up from a shelter when he was 6 weeks old. He turns 2 in April. He is a great dog, extremely smart and house trained, and been though obedient school. Unfortunately, my wife and I have welcomed in a brand new baby girl and unable to donate the time needed for him. He is a playful dog, regularly goes to doggy day care where he is part of the “Intro group” where he welcomes new dogs to day care. He is great with dogs and kids and does well with our son who is a bit older. He loves walks and knows a couple tricks. He loves to play and does not play rough. He has a very soft and beautiful coat. He loves attention. He has a very happy and playful disposition.

Story
It’s with a heavy heart that I’m looking to rehome my 1-year-old GSD. This has been a very difficult decision, but he has learned to jump my fence, and due to financial constraints, I’m unable to fully secure it. My priority is finding him a safe, stable environment where he can thrive. Strengths: • Housetrained and knows basic commands like sit and down • Loves car rides and playing ball! • Gets along well with my other GSD • Up to date on vaccinations Things to Know: • He can be fearful of new people and situations but warms up with patience and routine • Tends to bark at first but is improving and learning to stay calmer in public • At boarding, he was hesitant to trust handlers and wouldn’t walk on leash, though he did not bark or bite Ideal Home: • Experienced dog/German Shepherd owner, no young children • Secure, tall fencing or controlled environment • Commitment to continued training and socialization He’s very affectionate and loves close contact.

Story
We adopted Vee ~5 yrs ago from a rescue group,at maybe 2 yrs old.Vee is such a sweet girl.She follows you around like a shadow.She IS food aggressive!She got along great with our Great Dane before she passed.She does awesome at the vet.We board her in a private kennel and she’s fine. We also get her groomed occasionally and they always say she is the sweetest!We are having to rehome her because of moving and health reasons.My health has changed drastically since getting her and we are unable to have her in a fenced in yard where we live now So therefore theres just no room for her to get the adequate exercise that her breed needs.Vee loves my 9 yr old.Vee would be GREAT in a home as a single pet with plenty of room to play.Maybe with older kids that wouldn’t scare her.Or an older couple that can devote their time to her.She loves her kennel and will spend time in there when not with us.You really must meet her to see her personality and fall in love with her!
