Story

I got Cain from someone in my family. Cain hasn't done anything to make me rehome him; he's a good dog. We can't afford the vet anymore. I think he's a GSP. He's over a year old now, I'm not exactly sure but I got him when he was around 6-8 months old. I would like him to go to a home with a yard or someone who can work out the energy he has, which is a lot. He's pretty friendly with kids, but he doesn't spend enough time around them for me to say if he's good with them or not. I'd say he's a least somewhat reactive to other dogs and cats, he is not able to ignore them even when they're far away and the one time another dog got close, it lunged at him. Cain is goofy, genuinely. He loves to jump really high; he goes up to my shoulders sometimes. He is also really protective, he doesn't bark a lot, but he makes it count when he does. And he loves to cuddle or just be in your space with you.

Story

Shady spots was in a litter of puppies from our male blue champagne Ghotti mix American pit bull terrier breaking into a crate that a female hound mix was in because she was in heat. When she was weemed, my mother in law took her home. She had 11 plus kids ranging from babies to 18 around her daily. In 2021 my father in law passed away, my mother in law caught her home on fire in 2024 twice and then sold the house. In August 2024, my mother in law dropped her off in our yard with a note to please take care of her. We have tried to make it work for her to stay, but we have 2 male American pitbull terrier brothers, and even though she is spayed, our boys have been getting aggressive towards each other since she got here. We thought it would get better with time, but instead it has gotten worse. Because of this we need to find her a good loving home that is able to give her plenty of attention and love. UPDATE: Shady spots just got her updated rabies shot October 11, 2025 have

He is fine with older children.

Eivor

Irish Wolfhound German Shepherd Dog

Male, Adult

Johnson City, TN

Size

(when grown) X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more

Details

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

Story

Eivor is playful and loves people, including strangers, he is very attached to his people. He adapts well to change and easily falls into a routine. He has always had a fenced in yard and "lives" with his people, our furniture is his furniture. He is allergic to fleas and has skin allergies, which he takes vitamins for. At about 1 year old, he became aggressive with our oldest male. We had him neutered, and kept them separated for a while, but no change in the interactions. He was fine with our other two males, until last year, in which he started attacking them as well. They have been separated since. When it comes to people though, he is the sweetest, most loving, and protective dog we have ever had. He has never been home without someone there, and isn't the biggest fan of the car.
