Oca

German Shepherd Dog

Male, 1 yr 1 mo

Schenectady, NY

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Oca needs a family! One of the local shelters we pull from shared reports of Oca roaming a Greensboro neighborhood near a local college campus for several days. Neighbors said he was happy to accept treats from anyone who offered, but he’d quickly dart away if they tried to touch him. At just 7 months old, his limited experience made him shy around people - but time spent playing with other dogs has helped him blossom! He’s now running and playing when initially he wouldn’t. He’s being the silly puppy he couldn’t be on the streets…like playing with your shoelaces, tossing toys in the air and awing you when he wants attention or another treat! Oca is 51.0lbs., heartworm negative and up to date on his vaccines.

🚨 URGENT – RED NEEDS A HERO NOW 🚨 Meet Red… and once you do, you won’t forget him. This sweet boy came into the shelter as a stray, but you would never know it from his heart. Red is calm, gentle, and incredibly loving—the kind of dog who doesn’t ask for much… just to be close to you. He’s the definition of a loyal shadow, quietly following you around, soaking up every bit of love he can get. He adores people, does great with other dogs, and has such a peaceful, easygoing presence. Dogs like Red don’t cause trouble… they just sit and wait. And in a crowded shelter, dogs like him are often the ones overlooked—until it’s too late. 💔 He doesn’t understand why he’s here. 💔 He doesn’t understand why no one has come for him. All he knows is that he loves… and he’s hoping someone will love him back. 🆘 Red is URGENT and running out of time. He needs HELP NOW to save his life. Please don’t let this gentle soul fade away unseen. Be the reason Red finally gets the love he’s been waiting for. 🐾 Step up for Red today. PLEASE HELP TEXT KAREN 4136208152
