Story
Hello:Redz is a wonderful kind hearted gentleman about 3-5 yo. He is very kind and plays very nice with big and little dogs. At home he loves snuggling. He loves hugs, attention and praises. He would do great in a loving family with teenagers or no kids. He is kind with humans and he never barks. At home his behavior is excellent, he never chews anything except a bone treat. I am fostering him and I love him so much that I am ready to offer a life long FREE pet sitting to accommodate your travel needs. We do not know how he ended up in a shelter, but he holds no trauma about anything. I have been fostering him for the SPCA for the last three months. You won’t be disappointed! Note: he is a big dog and can be clumsy when excited: no little kids or cats are recommended.

Story
Simba was a gift from a friend. He loves his walks, belly rubs and sitting on your lap. Always needs affection. He is always curious, he will walk into every room including closets 😂. He is super happy, he wants to play with every dog in the neighborhood. My daughter lays on him and plays with him. He loves it. I unfortunately have no time. I’m recently divorced, so going through a lot of changes.

Story
We bought buddy from a breeder who only deals with pure bred german shephards. We got him when he was 2 month old. He has been with us for 8 years. He has been wonderful. Extremely friendly with people. House trained. Very calm and just great with people and kids. A bit anxious around unknown male dogs. My kids have both gone to college and I work 5 days a week. Not able to take care of him. Also planning to travel for work for long periods shortly. Looking for a good family within 30 miles of 20905 so we can visit Buddy frequently

Story
Frida was under a year old when we took her in. She is an amazing dog! Loves walks, tugging play, playing catch, and is a great companion. She is patient and careful with babies/toddlers, we have many videos and photos of her and our now two year old playing. She understands to be gentle. She makes dog friends quickly but is nervous around new humans. She will bark to let you know, but after a few treats and interactions, she comes around. Frida is crate trained. Definitely have some toys lying around for her so she can grab those when she gets excited to greet you! She is weary of other dogs on leashes, she was attacked by an escaped GSD last year while on a walk. She got stitches on her belly and we have docs of the incident. She is great with her sibling dog! And has been good with other dogs that can keep with her energy! We love her so much and we are sad that we can’t keep her.
