Story
We are looking to rehome our 1 year 2 month old German Shepard. We rescued her as a puppy but not knowing her background or her parents unfortunately we have learned she is reactive to people she doesnt know. We both work 40+ hours a week and with reactivity we don't feel safe with her around our 5 year old alone. She has never once hinted at hurting him or my husband or myself. She is actually very protective and loving to us. She's just nervous around strangers. We unfortunately have alot of children around since we have a child and we just don't think that is the best situation for her nervousness. She's super smart. She's house trained, crate trained, and invisible fence trained. She knows basic commands like sit, stay, lay down, etc. She is high energy as most puppy GSD are so having a yard to run around in is a must...definitely not an apartment dog. She has true potential but with our jobs and child we just don't have the time to focus on what she needs

Story
Gracie is 5 years old. We got her at March 2020 and she’s been our puppy since covid shut down the world. unfortunately, due to a change in location, we need to find her a new home that will care for her with love, support, patience, and affection. she loves to relax and can sit with you while you binge your favorite shows and she loves to play if your in the mood for fetch or tug-a-war. She struggles with anxiety and will need a home that will be patient with her as she adjusts to a new environment.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.My name is Jasper. That’s probably not my real name because my story is unfortunately a lot like many other unwanted pets. I was left to fend for myself not knowing where my next meal would be. Luckily I was rescued and given my chance to shine. I have proven that I really really love people regardless of my early start with humans. I want to be loved so much that I will beg for just a head rub and lap snuggles. Yes I’m a big strong boy but I’m really a small lap dog disguised in a hound dog body. Do I give slobbery kisses, why yes, is there a problem with that? I love to run and play but if given a choice I’d rather be by my persons side. I would make a great adventure companion. Riding shotgun by your side wherever you go, that would be my doggie dream. Currently I share a foster home with lots of other all size dogs but I would really like to be your only ride or die dog. I’ve gone so long without one on one attention that I’m constantly competing for the attention. Am I perfect? Heck no but I’m a diamond in the rough, clay ready to be molded. I’m looking for my person who is ready to be my furever person. One who will love me and never give up on me. I’ve been waiting a long time to just be loved. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.July 6, 2025, 12:45 pm

Story
Loki is a gorgeous Australian Sheppard Border Collie mix that is not quite two years old. 35 pounds of love and playfulness. Great with other dogs. Loves to play. Loves walks and a great cuddle! Loki didn't have a good start in life and has some anxiety. He was hit by a car and was on the run for a few weeks. He had surgery to repair injury and is doing great. I have all of his paperwork. Anxiety has gotten better but will need someone willing to put time and effort into him. He is worth it! Loki is on medication and is doing well. Loki is super smart and learns quickly. I am too old to keep up with him. He needs a younger more active lifestyle with dogs his age and size. Fenced in yard required.
