🐾Meet Grant!🐾 Grant is a 1-year-and-5-month-old Great Dane looking for a loving new home. ❤️ He is very friendly, sweet, and great with kids. He has a gentle personality and loves being around people. I'm hoping to find him a new home as soon as possible, but most importantly, I want to make sure he goes to a caring family who will love and take good care of him. If you're genuinely interested in giving Grant a good home, please reach out for more information. 🐶❤️

Story
Nipper is a very loving dog that will demand your attention. He’s not only beautiful but he’s a protecter if that’s what you’re looking for. Once he chooses you he will love you always. Has been around cats but he likes to chase them around. He doesn’t bark in home or while walking on the street. He knows commands and follows them loves treats and walks but willl be couch potato with you. He’s looking for his forever home.

Story
👑🐾 ALL HAIL HONEY THE HIPPO! 🐾👑Honey isn’t just a pittie… she’s a QUEEN. And every queen deserves a kingdom where she can be loved, spoiled, and snuggled like the royalty she is. ❤️This beautiful girl was found living in the woods and took a few months to trap.  She may look tough enough to keep the neighborhood troublemakers in check, but underneath that fierce exterior is the sweetest, snuggliest soul. Honey’s snuggles feel like a grandma’s hug — warm, comforting, and the kind you never want to let go of. 🥹💕Of course, Honey has her own special flair. She comes across like a crazy 80-year-old smoker from the Bronx who doesn’t speak often but lets you know how she truly feels about it😂 — once she settles in, she’s all smiles, wiggles, and “GET OVER HERE AND CUDDLE ME!”Honey is:
🐾 Great with people
👧 Great with older children
🛏️ Crate trained
❤️ A professional snuggler
👑 A certified QUEEN

This sweet boy is ready to find his forever home and fill someone’s life with love, laughter, and lots of snuggles! 🐶🏡 Comrad came to us from a shelter in Louisiana after being found as a stray. Although we may not know much about his past, one thing is certain: he deserves a beautiful future filled with love, comfort, and a family to call his own. ❤️ 🥰 SWEET, AFFECTIONATE & FULL OF LIFE! Comrad truly offers the best of both worlds! He has a sweet, affectionate nature and loves being around his people.

Comrad is listed as good with female dogs, so a properly introduced female canine companion may be a possibility for his future home. 🐱 A NOTE ABOUT CATS Comrad is not good with cats, so he will need a cat-free home where he can feel comfortable and thrive. 🩺 A LITTLE NOTE ABOUT COMRAD’S HEALTH Comrad is heartworm positive, but we don’t want the cost of treatment to stand in the way of finding his forever family!

Story
10/21/26: 🏡 Currently in Foster Care This dog is currently staying in a foster home and is not on-site at the rescue. They will be available for adoption after about a week or so to try and come out of their shell. If you're an approved adopter and would like to meet them, please contact the Char-Wills office. We'll be happy to coordinate an appointment with the foster family so you can meet them at the rescue. --- 10/17/26: 🐾 Three Special Puppies Looking for the Right Homes! ❤️ Char-Wills recently welcomed a litter of four puppies — three girls and one boy — who came from a neglectful situation. One of the girls, Scarlett, has already found her forever home, and now we're hoping to find the right families for her three remaining siblings! These puppies have had a difficult start in life, and it shows in their confidence. They are shy and will need patient, understanding adopters who are willing to help them work through their fears and learn that the world isn't such a scary place. They need calm, stable homes where they can settle in at their own pace, build trust, and discover all the good things life has to offer. While most puppies coming through our doors need little more than the usual puppy training and socialization, these three will need a little extra time, effort, and commitment to help them reach their full potential. They aren't necessarily going to be the puppies who immediately run up to everyone for attention, and adopters should be prepared to put in the work to help them grow into confident, well-adjusted dogs. The good news? These babies are fully vetted, including their vaccinations, deworming, microchips, and spay/neuter procedures, and they are ready to find their forever homes! Now, they just need the right people to give them the chance they deserve. ❤️ Important information for approved puppy adopters: If you have already been approved to adopt a puppy through Char-Wills, please understand that approval does not guarantee you will be selected to adopt one of these three. Because of their specific socialization needs, we want to be sure their future homes are prepared to provide the additional patience, time, and guidance they will need. These puppies deserve more than just a home — they deserve families who understand them and are willing to help them thrive. If you think you could be the right fit for one of these special babies, please reach out to Char-Wills German Shepherd Rescue to express your interest! Let's help these three find the loving, patient homes they deserve. 🐾❤️
