Story

Meet Athena — a wise and wonderful senior lady with a heart of gold. Athena is a gorgeous red German Shepherd–Pitbull mix who has perfected the art of taking life at a gentle pace. She’s friendly with other dogs and enjoys the company of calm, respectful canine friends. While she’s not looking for a high-energy household or constant activity, she does appreciate the occasional playdate to keep things fun. Athena would thrive in a mellow, predictable home where she can relax, feel safe, and enjoy the quieter side of life. She’s a sweetheart with people and has that lovely senior soul that just wants to be near her family. Because of her strong preferences, Athena needs a home without cats or small animals. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who is past the chaos and ready for comfort, Athena might be your perfect match. Let her spend her golden years being cherished — she absolutely deserves it. Since many of our adoptable dogs are in foster homes, appointments are highly recommended to ensure the animal you are interested in is currently at the shelter. Please call or e-mail the shelter to set up an appointment to meet and adopt! Our adoption fees include the following: all of our dogs/puppies are current on vaccinations (DHPP and Rabies if over 3 months of age) at the point of adoption, dewormed, heartworm tested and current on preventative, microchipped, treated for fleas/ticks and are spayed or neutered. Our large dog adoption fee is generally $175 + tax. Our small dog and puppy adoption fee is generally $300+ tax. Adoption fees may vary in special circumstances. Due to space limitations, we do not hold dogs. Because we are on a busy street, we require that all dogs leaving the shelter be in a carrier or on leash. All pets remain up for adoption until an approved application is processed and their adoption fee paid.

Thor

German Shepherd Dog

Details

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Thor is a 7-year-old male German Shepherd who is looking for an experienced adopter who understands the breed and can provide a calm, patient home. He does best in a predictable environment with clear boundaries and consistent guidance. Thor needs to be the only pet in the home and requires a household with no kids, cats, or other dogs. He can be a bit pushy at times, but his behavior comes from enthusiasm and strong opinions rather than ill intent—he is well-meaning and responsive when handled by someone confident and consistent. With the right person, Thor has the potential to be a loyal, devoted companion who thrives on structure, routine, and one-on-one attention. He’s best suited for someone ready to advocate for his needs and give him the stability he deserves. Since many of our adoptable dogs are in foster homes, appointments are highly recommended to ensure the animal you are interested in is currently at the shelter.

Red

German Shepherd Dog

Male, 10 yrs

Brookings, SD

Size

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

Details

Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Red is a handsome 10-year-old German Shepherd weighing in at 91 pounds of pure loyalty and heart. A true gentleman in his golden years, Red lives for his ball—toss it once and you’ve got his full attention and a happy tail to match. He’s also very snack-motivated, which makes him a joy to engage with and a great candidate for gentle enrichment and continued learning. Red really shines when he has a steady, predictable routine. Knowing what to expect helps him feel secure and confident, and he thrives when his days are filled with familiar walks, playtime, and well-earned rest. He’s the kind of dog who appreciates the simple things: consistency, companionship, and a good treat after a job well done. If you’re looking for a loyal, ball-loving companion who’s ready to enjoy his golden years with grace (and snacks), Red is your guy Because the shelter environment isn’t ideal for fully assessing behavior, we aren’t able to accurately determine how Red would do with other dogs, cats, or children. A quieter home with patient adopters who are willing to go at his pace would suit him best. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with an old-soul personality, a love of routine, and just the right amount of grumpy charm, Red may be your perfect match. Since many of our adoptable dogs are in foster homes, appointments are highly recommended to ensure the animal you are interested in is currently at the shelter. Please call or e-mail the shelter to set up an appointment to meet and adopt! Our adoption fees include the following: all of our dogs/puppies are current on vaccinations (DHPP and Rabies if over 3 months of age) at the point of adoption, dewormed, heartworm tested and current on preventative, microchipped, treated for fleas/ticks and are spayed or neutered.

Taz

German Shepherd Dog

Male, 8 yrs

Brookings, SD

Size

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

Details

Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet Taz! At 8 years old and about 78 pounds, Taz is a senior who’s ready to settle into a loving home. He is neutered and medically up to date, so he’s all set for his next chapter. Taz is sweet and friendly with people and enjoys human companionship, making him a wonderful candidate for someone looking for a loyal, affectionate companion. Taz is still working on his potty training, but with a consistent routine, patience, and positive reinforcement, he has all the potential to truly blossom. He wants to do well and will benefit from a home that can provide structure and understanding. When it comes to canine companions, Taz is selective with other dogs, so he may or may not be able to live with another dog. A meet-and-greet would be important to see if it’s a good match. We’re also unsure how he is with other animals or young children, so a calmer home environment may be the best starting point for him. If you’re looking to open your heart to a devoted senior who still has plenty of love to give, Taz might just be your perfect match. Since many of our adoptable dogs are in foster homes, appointments are highly recommended to ensure the animal you are interested in is currently at the shelter. Please call or e-mail the shelter to set up an appointment to meet and adopt! Our adoption fees include the following: all of our dogs/puppies are current on vaccinations (DHPP and Rabies if over 3 months of age) at the point of adoption, dewormed, heartworm tested and current on preventative, microchipped, treated for fleas/ticks and are spayed or neutered.

Matteo

Shepherd (Unknown Type)

Male, 2 yrs

Brookings, SD

Size

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

Details

Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet Matteo, a 2-year-old red and black Shepherd mix weighing around 76 pounds. Matteo is still learning potty training. He can be a little nervous around new people, but he’s eager to learn and highly motivated by food. Matteo doesn’t know any commands yet, but with patience and positive reinforcement, he’s ready to start his training journey. Because of his past time on the run, Matteo would thrive in a home with a securely fenced yard and plenty of supervision. We aren’t sure how he does with children, cats, or other dogs, so a dog meet-and-greet is recommended if you already have a canine companion. With the right guidance and a patient family, Matteo has the potential to be a loyal and loving companion. Since many of our adoptable dogs are in foster homes, appointments are highly recommended to ensure the animal you are interested in is currently at the shelter. Please call or e-mail the shelter to set up an appointment to meet and adopt! Our adoption fees include the following: all of our dogs/puppies are current on vaccinations (DHPP and Rabies if over 3 months of age) at the point of adoption, dewormed, heartworm tested and current on preventative, microchipped, treated for fleas/ticks and are spayed or neutered.
