Story
Hi this is Wesson! He is a 4 year old male GSD. Very sweet and loving boy. He is house trained. Very energetic. We unfortunately need to rehome due to not being able to provide him with what he needs. I would recommend a home with older kids that can play with him. Experienced dog owners and a home where he is the only dog. Other than that he truly is an amazing boy.

Dyrk is a very active dog! With a big personality! He would fit right into an active family that likes to be outside and play fetch, go on walks! He could use a little tuning on his manners.

Freddy is such a good boy. He is very reserved at first. Some time and love he will come around. He has been here too long and needs to get to know the outside world. He came in as a pup. He had a bad cause of Girardi when we finally got him pass that he had spent his puppy life here. Take and introduce him to the world!!

Story
Meet Henrietta! Miss Henry is 35lb., female, Hound mix. She is fully Vetted., crate and potty trained, and walks well on leash. She loves other dogs and I would recommend a home that already has (at least) one dog, if not more. She is fine with cats. Children need to mind their P’s and Q’s with her only because chaos frightens her. Henry, Henrietta was found running around in backyards and a huge pond area for weeks. This girl kept me running up to Huber Hts. every night for two weeks working on gaining her confidence. Poor baby was scared of her own shadow and that hasn’t improved much. She will need an adopter with a great deal of patience and understanding but the love is well worth the wait. She is scared of sudden movements, loud noises and abhors any change in her routine, once you have one established. Miss Henry will need a home with a fenced yard. Having said all that, Henrietta is a complete love, once she trusts you. She has the softest fur and is the most beautiful fawn color. This baby will be hard to part with and I will be extremely picky when it comes to choosing her furever home, she will come to you carrying a piece of my heart but she needs a family to call her very own, is that your family? If you are interested in adopting Henrietta, please fill out an adoption application at: http://www.allpawsmatterrescue.org/
