Good with kids, Not good with dogs,
Story
She is a beautiful and loyal dog. She’s 3 years old and very trainable. At this time I’m not in a position to care for her. I just need her to have someone that can give her the care she needs. Sometimes other dogs don’t really like her and can get aggressive but she’s very loving and caring.

Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs special attention, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
This is Stella, she is the absolute best dog ever and we are so devastated that we cannot keep her with us anymore. We are looking for a home for Stella where someone is home more often with her than we can provide. She has stage 2 kidney disease which is well controlled with diet/medication, but she needs to be able to go potty about every 6-8 hours (9 at the max) to filter her kidneys. We are looking for someone who has a yard she can play in and a family that can offer her all the love and attention she can handle! She is a very sweet, friendly, and energetic dog and anybody would be lucky to have her. Again we are extremely devastated to have to be rehoming our sweet baby, but it’s what is best for her and her health! She’s well trained (kennel trained-enters on command, sit, stay, shake, speak- will only bark if told “speak”, lay down, come, etc.) She loves people and does well with kids and other dogs -unknown about cats.

Story
This is Bear! He’s around a year and a half and he’s the sweetest boy. I’ve had him since September last year, he needed a home in a pinch and I took him in! He’s wonderful and I’m deeply saddened to put him up for adoption, but due to moving and living situations I am no longer able to have him. He is so sweet, and he really is such a good boy. He does have a lot of energy, so someone with a yard would probably be the best fit for him!

Halsey

German Shepherd Dog

Female, Young
Midvale, UT
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
This is Halsey. She suffers from separation anxiety & would do best in a home with a dog or two that are her size or bigger. She would also do well with an owner that WFH. She is very well behaved when she has a human around, but stresses to the extreme if she is solely alone. She knows all the basic commands & a few party tricks. Does well off leash but does not tolerate small dogs barking or growling at her. (She had an incident last year we paid for a behaviorist & really learned what triggers to look for. She is not confident as a lone dog but looks to her owner to guide her through meeting new dogs). She gets compliments on her behavior & obedience in public every time we go out! Truly is such a smart dog & would make a great addition to any family. I am a single woman & have reached my capacity of trying to manage her anxiety with my hospital schedule, she does okay at night alone, but would just bee better off with a family rather than a single person.
