Story
Very friendly 4 year old male. Loves people. Loves to play. He is electronic collar trained and is very polite except when some one new comes to the door. Then he jumps on the them to greet them. Just because he is excited to see someone different. He weights about 60 lbs. Very healthy, does eat dry dog food, but prefers to be treated with “last bites” of people food. He does get a treat when coming in from outside. He has been living with G & G, because of a job change of our son. OTR truck driving does not accommodate owning a dog. Nex Gard is the flea and tick control we use. Seems to be very successful. He did have an allergic reaction when trying the other form of flea and tick. At our home, because of our age and health issues, he is inside most time but would love being in a fenced area outside. He sleeps inside on bed or couch. He isn’t use to a kennel but would train easily for that. Everything we have purchased for him will come with him. Leash, collar, ect.

Story
Meet Shylah! ❤️Shylah is a beautiful 4-year-old red Shar Pei who is looking for a loving forever home. She came to DHS with her “sister,” Ava, after a change in their owner’s housing situation.Shylah can be a little shy when she first meets you, but once she starts to feel comfortable, her sweet and playful personality shines through. Mention going outside for a walk and she’ll get so excited, pawing at you as if to say, “Let’s go!” 🐾Shylah has lived with other dogs and does well with canine companions. She would prefer a home without cats. She is both house-trained and kennel-trained, although she does best being kenneled when her people are away.This curious girl loves exploring and being involved in everything going on around her, so she’ll need to be kept on a leash when outside unless she’s in a securely fenced area. And when the day’s adventures are over, Shylah is more than happy to curl up in bed with her favorite person. She’s a cuddly girl who would love nothing more than to be your cozy companion.If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate pup who enjoys walks, exploring, and plenty of snuggles, Shylah may be your girl! ❤️🐾Please fill out an adoption application found on our website! I come with 30 days of free post-adoption support through Petcademy.org. This benefit includes free access to Petcademy's team of trainers/behaviorists, as well as access to online materials that will help you settle me into your home.

Story
Meet Luna! ❤️🐾Sweet, sweet Luna is a beautiful 5-year-old German Shepherd who found herself at DHS on September 21—just one day before her 5th birthday. We can’t think of a better birthday gift for this special girl than finding a loving home of her own.Luna is 100% blind, but don’t let that fool you—once she gets familiar with her surroundings, she gets around very well. What she needs most is a soft, loving place where she can feel safe, secure, and cherished.Luna was raised with children and other dogs and has been a wonderful house companion. She is fully potty trained and does well being left alone in the home. She’s clearly been through a lot of change recently, and we believe she would truly benefit from the comfort and stability of a foster or forever home as soon as possible.Luna is a wonderful girl with so much love left to give. She deserves a peaceful, loving home where she can spend her years feeling safe and knowing she is finally home. ❤️Could you be the soft place this sweet girl has been waiting for? 🐾Please fill out an adoption application found on our website! Luna is currently in foster care.I come with 30 days of free post-adoption support through Petcademy.org.

Story
Got him in 2021 so he's 5 years old. Been a good dog but does not like unfamiliar vehicles or gunshots. We live on a farm so it's sometimes hard to avoid those things. We have 2 children 2 years and younger which he has not had any problems with but that also means we have our hands full and don't feel like we are able to give him the proper attention. Looking for a good home where people can give him the attention he needs (room to run and play).
