Story
Brutus is from Capriola Farm German Shepherds. He will be 6 years old on October 2nd. His owner died suddenly on July 25, and Brutus has been grieving and very anxious since losing his person. He’s a loyal, sweet goofball who bonds deeply, but he needs an experienced handler who understands shepherds and working-breed behavior. He loves being outside and playing in the yard - a basketball is his ball of choice. He was not socialized with other dogs, so he needs to be the only dog in the house. He has had one pain-response bite when his foot was stepped on. It was not aggression, just a reflex. He does not have a history of unpredictable biting. He’s just overwhelmed and confused right now. He does not like his feet touched. Brutus needs structure, training, and someone confident who can help him settle and feel safe again. He knows to go into his crate, but also has separation anxiety if left alone for long time periods. He is a talker and will moan his frustrations. He is a good boy.

Story
Phoenix is a very calm, quiet dog who’s just starting to show us her true personality. It will take her a few minutes to warm up. She seems to be accepting of other dogs. We’ve walked her with other dogs and she wasn’t bothered by them at all. She’s very calm and quiet in her kennel. She meets people calmly and gently. If you’re looking for a calm, laid-back well adjusted dog Phoenix might be the girl for you.

Story
Looking at Shay‘s pictures, you will see that when she came to us. She was in pretty bad shape. Severely underweight so weak that she couldn’t stand on her own and barely able to lift her head. But she had Hope and determination in her eyes from the minute that we met her. We quickly got her the vet care that she needed and with a little time love nutrition, and lots of prayers she has made a full recovery.She’s gaining weight and strength with each passing day and she’s living her best life now. Shea is in a foster home with a dog and cat and children and she is doing wonderful. We think she should do best with older children as her play style can be rough and tumble and a little mouthy.We are so excited to see what the future holds for this little miracle girl
