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 🐕

Venus

Mutt

Female, Young
Lincoln, NE
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Venus is a sweet, smart mixed-breed rescue dog looking for her perfect match. She’s potty trained and does best in a quieter home away from overwhelming stimuli. At home she’s calm and loving — she bonds deeply, is great with toddlers, and coexists peacefully with cats. Once she opens up, she is a loyal and devoted companion. Outside, Venus is leash reactive and does best with an experienced owner who understands anxiety-driven behavior and is committed to training. She takes fluoxetine daily for anxiety and has a bite history, so a patient, knowledgeable adopter is essential. Venus is high energy and needs vigorous daily exercise and mental stimulation to be her best self. She loves treat-based scent games and training — she already knows sit, lay down, and her name, and she’s eager to keep learning. Venus is being rehomed with love by an owner whose chronic illness makes it impossible to meet her needs. She deserves someone who can match her spirit and help her truly flourish.
