Story
Hi there! My name is Goliath and I was adopted last week from the Fallon, NV animal shelter! I just turned a year old and I'm hoping to find a new home that has a nice yard for me to run around in! I am a very energetic dog so I would love to go on outdoor adventures with you! I'm shy at first but I will absolutely steal your heart and never want to leave your side!

Story
Frankie here is a big goofy couch potato. She’s 4 years old and still has the puppy charm without the puppy clean up, she’s house trained. Frank needs a new home and it’s not her fault. I need to find her a new home because she has started getting into scuffles with my other dog over food. Frankie girl has a very strong food drive and because I am a single father with two children under 5. I can’t give her the attention and training she needs to get her food drive under control. She gets along with dogs and cats and kids. She needs work meeting new dogs as she comes on strong because she gets excited. She could really use a home that understands how to be a strong leader in a household and be strict with her habits. She deserves the chance to be taken care of and all she really wants is someone to lay on the couch with and love.

Story
Meet Rocky, a loving 6-year-old neutered German Shepherd looking for his forever home. He grew up with children, does well with people and visitors, and has never shown aggression toward people. He is house and crate trained, rides well in the car, knows several commands, and loves walks, hikes, treats and affection. Rocky is dog reactive after a daycare incident and would do best as the only dog. No cats or small animals due to his prey drive. He may pull at first on walks, then settles, but will pull for squirrels or lizards. He can wander, so he must be leashed or securely contained. A fenced yard is a plus. Rocky is food motivated and has a sensitive stomach; he currently does well on Purina Pro Plan. An experienced GSD owner who is home often and can provide exercise, companionship and continued training would be ideal. Due to my progressive illness and physical limitations, I am searching for a loving forever home where Rocky can thrive and be part of the family.
