Story

Zoey is a beautiful young sable German Shepherd female estimated around 5-6 years of age. Zoey was a stray and we unfortunately do not know her history but Zoey is happily looking forward to having a family of her own. Zoey is a playful and rambunctious girl. Her favorite activities include playing in muddy ponds, getting all the love, and inappropriately barking at unknown dogs and people. Zoey is learning how to navigate the world and make new human friends. While Zoey can be a very friendly and social girl she is at a critical point in her life known as the 'fear period' and can struggle with reactivity when meeting new people. It is extremely important that Zoey have a confident, experienced, handler that can compassionately guide her through the safe socialization she needs in order to learn how to navigate the world kindly. Zoey is very much a puppy and while eager to please she is still figuring out what is expected of her and how to rise to those expectations. Zoey has been great meeting volunteers with the guidance of her foster home and with those she knows is a very loving, playful girl. She has enjoyed going on hikes around private property and exploring ponds and mud puddles. Zoey is an active and athletic girl who is going to require ongoing exercise and structure to ensure her growth into a well rounded adult Shepherd. Zoey would be a great running companion, hiking buddy, and would likely excel in a number of dog sports. Zoey is NOT suitable for a home with children at this time. Zoey is still figuring out other dogs and how to interact in a polite manner. Zoey can be very vocal when she meets new dogs and was defensive with other dogs when she arrived at her foster home. She has since settled in and is able to enjoy playgroups with other young Shepherds as well as group hikes. Zoey is slowly figuring out that she can play appropriately and doing a great job. Zoey will require ongoing structured socialization and guidance to maintain her progress as she is at an age of development where her socialization both in and out of the house is vital. Zoey is NOT friendly with cats or small dogs as she has shown a very high prey drive with both. Zoey is a young, eager to please, and outgoing Shepherd who is searching for an active, loving, and adventurous home to give her the guidance and love she needs to grow into an even more wonderful companion. If you're the home for Zoey please email Tierhavenrescue@gmail.com for an adoption application or visit tierhaven.rescuegroups.org for FAQsVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 5, 2024, 8:53 pm

Ghostie

German Shepherd Dog

Female, Adult

Louisville, KY

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Ghostie is a 2-year-old German Shepherd with a face that says she’s either seen a ghost or is in constant communication with aliens. Either way, she’s unforgettable. Beneath her wide-eyed look is a sweet, goofy, and slightly chaotic goblin who is always ready to make you laugh. She’s young, full of energy, and eager to find her people who will appreciate both her quirks and her charm. Ghostie is a certified Velcro dog. She loves humans so much she doesn’t just want to sit next to you—she wants to merge with your rib cage and become one with your soul. While she can be anxious at times, she makes up for it with pure devotion and enthusiasm. Ghostie thrives on affection, reassurance, and structure, and she’s happiest when she’s part of the action. If you’re looking for a shadow who will double as your number one fan, Ghostie is your girl. When it comes to dog friends, Ghostie is all in. She loves other dogs and has a rough-and-rowdy play style that matches her “life of the party” personality. She’s the type who invites herself into the wrestling match and thinks play time should go on forever. She’s also been around cats and, while not uninterested, has done okay with careful supervision. With the right introductions and some patience, she could live with feline siblings too. Ghostie is a mix of sweetness, silliness, and “did she really just do that?” moments. She’s looking for a home that can keep up with her playful energy, give her lots of love, and maybe provide a foil hat—just in case those aliens get too close. If you have room for Ghostie on your apocalypse team email us at Tierhavenrescue@gmail.com for an adoption application.

Chip

German Shepherd Dog Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium)

Male, Adult

Louisville, KY

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Chip is a handsome, chatty male German Shepherd mix around 6.5 years of age. Chip was originally with our rescue in 2019 as a puppy and was adopted by a young couple. Unfortunately, they returned Chip 6 years later due to life changes and Chip is now looking for his next fur-ever. Chip is a talkative boy who likes to channel his inner hound to sing you the song of his people. He is pretty sure he is speaking English and the humans are just not on his level. Chip was not socialized much outside of his home unfortunately so he can be a bit reserved meeting new people but he was raised with children and warms up to them much quicker. His current BFF is a teenager who he happily shadows during their chores - apparently sassy dogs and teens speak the same language. Chip has lived with other dogs his whole life but is a total trouble-maker during play groups or high energy moments. He is a perpetual annoying little brother who likes to chew on his fur-siblings legs, collars, and ears. Most other dogs don't appreciate that and Chip is not great at reading the cues so he either requires very patient siblings or a human to remind him to stop pestering. Chip has never lived with cats to our knowledge and is not currently cat tested. Chip is a forever puppy who is looking for a new home to adventure with - he is seeking long talks, jaunts through the woods, and butt scratches. If you're the home for Chip email us at Tierhavenrescue@gmail.com for an adoption application or visit Tierhaven.rescuegroups.org for an adoption application * Chips puppy picture is the last in his reel *Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 3, 2025, 4:12 pm

Nora

German Shepherd Dog

Female, Adult

Louisville, KY

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Nora is a stunning, dignified German Shepherd, estimated to be around 8–9 years young. She first came to Tier Haven as a three-year-old stray and, through no fault of her own, found herself back in our care as a senior after being picked up as a stray once again. Despite the ups and downs, Nora’s spirit remains strong, and she’s ready to start the next chapter of her life with a new family. This classy lady is the definition of an active senior—she loves staying involved and thrives in a social setting. Nora is sweet, confident, and always ready to be where the action is. She’s friendly with people of all ages and makes a wonderful companion, though she hasn’t lived with young children as far as we know. Fully house trained and crate trained, Nora knows her way around a home and expects to be treated like the royalty she is. Nora can be bossy with other dogs and prefers calm, respectful canine companions. She currently coexists peacefully with a few laid-back dog friends in her foster home, but she’d also be perfectly happy as your one and only. True to her Shepherd nature, she has a high drive and is not a match for homes with cats, small dogs, or small animals. Nora is a golden girl with plenty of love and life left to give—she just needs the right home to share it with. If you think you’re the person Nora’s been waiting for, email us at Tierhavenrescue@gmail.com to request an adoption application, or visit tierhaven.rescuegroups.org for more information.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 24, 2025, 3:00 pm

Mista Sprinkles

German Shepherd Dog

Male, Adult

Louisville, KY

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Mista Sprinkles is a handsome adult male German Shepherd estimated around 6 years of age. Sprinkles was found as a stray therefore we do not know his history, or background, prior to arriving at the shelter. However, we know this beautiful boy is ready to find a family of his own. Mista Sprinkles is a social, friendly, and outgoing boy who lights up when he meets new people. He can come on a bit strong - it is hard to contain your excitement sometimes! - but is a generally polite, well mannered boy. Sprinkles seems to be familiar with the trappings of pampered life and has displayed good house manners, car riding skills, and crate training in his foster home. He isn't as fond of the confines of the leash but is coming around to more settled walks. Sprinkles has not been around young children while with us but has done great with the teenagers in his foster home. He would like do well with any kids that are comfortable with large, goofy dogs. Mista Sprinkles has done well with other dogs in that confident, "Let's all be cool", sort of way. He hasn't been too interested in playing or romping but is happy to co-exist with other chill, peaceful dogs. Unfortunately, he displayed a bit too much drive meeting cats and at this time is NOT considered a good addition for a home with cats or small animals. Mista Sprinkles is a sweet, kind-hearted, boy who is looking for his soft place to land with lots of love, scratches, and good nap spots.
