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

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.

He is a great pup. He is potty and crate trained. But does whine if he is in the crate long in the day. He has a lot of energy. Great with kids and other pets. My husband was working 4 days a week long shifts and just went to 6 days. I hate that Bentley is home in the crate a majority of the time. He does come with a crate, large dog food container, leash and collar, a few toys, food and water bowl and papers from vet.

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.
