Story

Hi! I’m Porsche. 🐾✨ Yes — like the car. And honestly? The name fits. I’m about a year and a half old, full of energy, and built for movement. I’ve got that classic German Shepherd brain — smart, alert, and ready to go. But I also have a soft side that just wants attention and connection. I recently came back to the shelter after a short stay in a home. Transitions can be a lot for a young shepherd like me. Big changes, new dogs, new environments — it’s overwhelming when everything happens at once. I’m still learning how to slow down and settle when life moves fast. Here’s what I can tell you about the real me: I’m friendly. I’m sweet. I love attention. 💕 I know sit and down, and I come when you call my name. I enjoy car rides 🚗 and I’m happiest when I have something to do — especially if it squeaks! Oh… and toys? They are my thing. 🎾 If there’s a squeaker inside, I will find it. Immediately. I love fetch — although sometimes I’d rather lie down and proudly chew on the ball like I just won a championship. I can get very focused on my toys (I take play seriously!). When I first come out of a kennel, I’ve got some zoomies in me — that young shepherd energy! But once I’m in the yard and have space to move, I settle nicely. Structure helps me. Clear expectations help me. Slow introductions help me. I’m not a “throw me in the backyard and figure it out” kind of dog. I’m a “let’s build this the right way” kind of dog. With proper introductions, supervision, and guidance, I have all the potential in the world to thrive. I would do best with: A confident, experienced dog owner Structured routines Slow, thoughtful introductions to other pets Plenty of enrichment and toy time I’m young. I’m smart. I’m full of potential. And I’m ready for someone who wants to invest in me the right way. If you’re looking for a loyal, energetic companion with a playful heart and a working-dog brain, I might be your girl. Let’s do this properly — together. 💛 — Porsche 🐕

Bear

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, Adult

Lincoln, NE

Size

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

Details

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Bear is an energetic, cuddly boy who loves fetch, frisbees, long walks, and silly zoomies! He often carries a toy on walks and enjoys chews and long naps. Cheap frisbees are best: once playtime ends, he likes to shred them! Bear needs active owners, a yard, and to be the only pet in a home. Other dogs are an issue, and he hasn't been around cats. He has resource-guarded around young children, so a home with older children who respect his space is essential. He's house-trained, knows sit, stay, and lie down, and stays home alone without messes. He cannot be crated because he has injured himself in crates. He pulls a little on walks but improves with redirection or a toy. Toys motivate him more than treats. Rain and snow aren't his favorites, but storms and fireworks don't scare him. Bear is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, with no medical conditions or special dietary needs. He's eaten Nutrish since puppyhood without issues.
