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 🐕

Zucchini is a cuddly dog. He does great with kids. Does not so well with our current dogs or cats. He is good with dogs in general just our dog is a dick lol. Zucchini is house trained and knows basic commands. Zucchini does have Addison disease, which just requires a monthly shot and daily pills which are fairly inexpensive. He loves to play with toys and will play fetch all day. He comes with a kennel, dog bed and collar and leash.

Nova is a 10 month old Cane Corso. She is a friendly, loving dog who gets along great with kids and other pets. She has a lot of energy and would do best with an active family or someone who can give her plenty of exercise and playtime. Nova loves playing fetch and tug-of-war and is always excited for an adventure. She’s a sweet companion who enjoys being around people and would thrive in a home where she can stay active, get attention, and be part of the family. (Adoption fee would include price to get her neutered.)
