Story
Our long term resident, Captain, has seen many other dogs come and go while he has been at the shelter waiting and waiting for his forever home. This boy loves toys, going for a brisk walk and car rides. He is also housebroken and knows basic commands. He thrives on being with his person and he is BIG enough to fill all your affection needs. Captain loves mental and physical simulation to keep him happy/content. Captain has a high prey drive and loves to chase squirrels, chipmunks, etc. and will dig under fences to try to get to them. His adopter needs to understand that he loves to eat so much that he needs to be left alone while he enjoys his meals and treats. He would probably do best as an only dog and in a home with no/older children. This Shepherd mix boy is about 6-7 years old and 55 pounds. Captain would do best in a home with the following criteria: -No kids, other dogs/cats/pets -Experienced dog owner -Low foot traffic home (non active home without lots of people coming in and out) Please understand that we are an animal shelter and thus unable to say whether the dogs are housebroken as they are not in homes.

Story
Eva is housebroken and knows some basic commands. She will go in a crate when you leave the house. She loves treats and is an avid chewer -- Nylabone types are one of her favorites. Eva is very protective of her family. She grew up in a home with children however when the newest baby came along, she became anxious and out of sorts. Eva will need a home that is low traffic and quiet, without children. She forms very strong bonds with her "people" and would do best with someone who has had shepherds before and knows the breed. Eva's adopter will have to be understanding and go very slow with her to give her time to adjust and with some patience and work allow her to become the awesome dog she is meant to be. Eva is about 4-5 years old and 53 pounds. Please help Eva find the loving home she is looking for! We do NOT ship our animals. All adoptive families must travel to us to meet their adoptive dog/cat. Applicants must live within a 2 hour radius from Sparta/Andover (07871/07821). Please understand that we are an animal shelter and thus unable to say whether the dogs are housebroken as they are not in homes.

Story
Tripp was surrendered because his owner had too many dogs. Tripp is on the shy side. He can be anxious until he gets to know you and his surroundings. When he gets comfortable with you, he will lean into you and is very sweet. This handsome fellow gets along with other dogs smaller then himself and in fact, would love to be in a home with another dog to help build his confidence. Tripp loves to play with stuffed toys and balls, and run around in the yard. He knows how to do a sit and learning to walk well on a leash. Tripp needs a family who would be willing to show him patience and love, take him on adventures and teach him how to be a happy go lucky dog. A home without young children is preferred. Tripp is about 6-7 years old and 50 pounds. Please help Tripp find the loving home he deserves. We do NOT ship our animals. All adoptive families must travel to us to meet their adoptive dog/cat.

Story
Chevy was found as a stray, so his background is not known. We believe, however, that something awful happened to him in his life. He is now up to date on vaccinations and been treated for heartworm. He is neutered. Chevy loves other dogs, and does best when with others. He lacks confidence, and is able to get that being around other dogs. He wants very much to please, and responds great to positive training and treats. Chevy is crate trained, and has not had an accident in his foster home. Having said that, he prefers to be in his crate, so we have not had an opportunity to see if he is truly house trained. He always tries to go when we are all outside. He is very sweet and playful! The adoption process is: 1. complete application 2. home visit 3. meet and greet 4. adoption contract
