Apache

German Shepherd Dog

Male, 8 yrs 4 mos

Waynesville, NC

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Apache Apache is a mellow, loyal German Shepherd with a gentle soul and a heart that opens slowly—but deeply. He may take a little time to bond, but once he knows you’re his person and he’s finally home, he’ll be right by your side, soaking up cuddles and companionship. Apache is fully house-trained, and has done well with other dogs both here at the shelter and in his temporary foster home. He’s not a high-maintenance guy—he just wants a calm, steady home where he can relax. He has shown some curiosity (and vocal opinions!) toward cats, so a cat-free home might be easiest, though with a slow and thoughtful introduction, coexisting might be possible. He would do best in a home with one or two people, without children! Like a true German Shepherd, Apache can be a bit barky, especially when alerting you to what he thinks you should know— just your classic GSD guardian instincts on display. Apache is looking for a quiet home where he can enjoy daily walks, soft beds, steady routines, and a person to lean on. If you’re patient, loving, and looking for a loyal companion who will repay your kindness with endless affection, Apache might just be your guy.

Story

Yuki is a spirited girl who loves getting outside! Hikes, nature walks, and adventures are her favorite! Don’t let her age fool you; this sweet lady still has plenty of pep in her step and enjoys a good play session. She would do wonderfully in a home with a respectful, playful dog buddy. She can be a fairly roughty player - so another dog who can handle some rough and tumble play, but can slow down between play sessions - would be best. Yuki already knows sit, knows some of her manners, and is a total cuddle bug when it’s time to slow down. Yuki would thrive in a medium-energy home! one that enjoys exploring the world but also appreciates cozy downtime together. If you’re looking for a loving companion who’s the perfect mix of adventure partner and snuggle friend, Yuki is your girl!

Good with kids, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Roxy – Our Resident Comedian & Cuddlebug! If you’re looking for a dog with a huge personality, an even bigger heart, and the ability to make you laugh at least twice a day (minimum!), then allow us to introduce Roxy. She’s got that magical mix of goofy, sweet, and smart that makes her completely unforgettable. Roxy LOVES people—like, really loves them. She’s thrilled to meet every human she sees and truly believes kids are just her long-lost littermates. She greets everyone with wiggles, tail wags, and a little sparkle in her eye that says, “You’re my new best friend!” Around the shelter, Roxy is basically staff royalty. She’s a one-dog comedy show, always entertaining us with her quirky antics, silly faces, and "did she really just do that?" moments. She's a total pro at “sit,” “down,” and “touch” (booping your hand with her nose), and she's always eager to learn more—especially if cheese is involved. She loves her stuffy toys, a good round of tug, and her daily walks. Two to three outings a day keep her happy and balanced, and after that, she’s more than content to curl up and relax with her people. Now, we won't sugarcoat it—Roxy is still working on her manners when it comes to seeing other dogs. She gets very excited, and for now, needs to be the only pet in the home. But with a consistent, confident handler, she’s already making great progress. And really—if having to be an only dog is her only flaw? We think that’s a pretty good deal. Roxy is looking for a home that will love her for who she is: a goofy, loving, endlessly entertaining best friend who just wants to be your one and only. If your house could use more laughter, more kisses, and a little bit of beautiful chaos—Roxy’s ready to move in.
