Story
Sweet. Kind, and gentle Ella is an 8-year-old brindle Mastiff. Her soulful eyes will stare you down and capture your heart at the same time. She is a loveable gentle giant ready for her forever family. Ella is super friendly and everyone she meets is her friend. With proper introduction, Ella has done well with both female and male dogs. Smaller dogs and cats are unknown. She’s quiet but still has a lot of life left in her and loves to play! She loves to fetch the ball and tug of war with her toys, going for walks. She especially loves car rides and is a great Co Pilot! Her favorite place is being snuggled and close to her people. She would probably do best in a home with older children because she may knock down the little kiddos because she thinks she’s a small dog. She is fine when left alone but of course cannot wait till her family comes home and will greet you with lots of love. She is house trained, up to date on vaccines, spayed, heartworm negative, and just an all-around healthy girl. Ella’s foster Mom cannot emphasize how great she is and knows that she will make someone the perfect soulmate!

Story
Meet the stars of our Rockstar Litter: Stevie, Roxette, Janis, Carly, Jagger, and Bowie! These adorable puppies are 9 weeks old and already stealing hearts wherever they go. Several of their siblings have already found homes, and now these six are ready to take center stage and find families of their own. These pups came to rescue from a Lancaster breeder after an accidental litter between his red Doberman and the neighbor's Australian Shepherd. While their arrival may have been unplanned, we're certain they have amazing futures ahead of them. Cute as a button, friendly, and incredibly smart, the Rockstar puppies are everything you could want in a young dog. They love people, enjoy playing with one another, and are already showing the intelligence and eagerness to learn that both Dobermans and Aussies are known for. As they grow, these puppies will likely become loyal, athletic, and highly intelligent companions. The combination of Doberman devotion and Australian Shepherd smarts creates dogs that thrive when given structure, training, exercise, and opportunities to use their brains. They aren't just looking for homes, they're looking for families who understand the commitment of raising an active, intelligent dog and who are excited to help them become the incredible companions they're meant to be. If you're ready for a best friend who will keep you laughing, challenge you to stay active, and reward you with unwavering loyalty, one of our Rockstar pups may be your perfect match. Stevie, Roxette, Janis, Carly, Jagger, and Bowie are ready to write the next chapter of their story with families who will love them for a lifetime. He will come neutered, with age-appropriate vaccinations, microchipped.

Story
My dog is a very playful, friendly, outgoing, lovable dog. I’ve had it for about four years. It’s just been hard with having a newborn maintaining him as a single mom his potty train. It’s a great dog to leave at home
