Story
Raven is my name and kind of like a raven, I am a 'loner'... except for the puppies i had when I arrived at the rescue... I was saved by a trapper on the streets, they weren't even there to save ME that day, but they did!!! I am obviously a beautiful girl, big and solid as well as black and brindly. I am a loving girl, in my own way... i lived on the streets for who knows how long and I honestly am not a cuddly girl or even a sit by your feet dog, YET... I have all kinds of love to give, you can see in my eyes that I have always dreamed of someone with the patience to love me for who I am and who I can be!! I am great on a leash and do love walking around and exploring. I am good with other dogs and likely would do best with another dog who is calm and confident with his/her family. I am so so ready for you, I have the shepherd double coat so I will shed in your house, must have a great vacuum cleaner and tolerance of hair :) Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)

Good with kids, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Pretzel is special, she needs a farm where she has a job to do or a large high fenced in back yard. She requires lots of exercise. She is not a big fan of men but does warm up to those that don’t let her dominate. Pretzel doesn’t bark a lot in generally but is not receptive to strangers & will let them know she feels threatened. Inside a house/garage/barn she loves belly rubs and is super sweet & submissive. We are looking to rehome her because she requires time that we do not have to give her. She is two years old and was rehomed to us as a puppy. We have tried to fulfill her needs but can no longer give her the time she requires. Pretzel likes cats but has some issues with other dogs, not all dogs, just those that bark at her. She is house trained, knows basic commands and is super intelligent. Loves walks & runs on a leash and does not have issues with a harness. Pretzel is a great watch dog and is very protective of her owner.

Story
Meet Clover! This handsome almost 6-month-old, 60-pound German Shepherd mix is looking for his forever family. Clover was adopted as a young puppy but sadly returned when things didn’t work out with a small child in the home. True to his breed, Clover is energetic, athletic, and incredibly smart. He’ll thrive with structure, boundaries, and continued training. At the rescue, he’s shown a sweet and submissive side, and he gets along well with other dogs. He absolutely loves walks, playtime, and soaking up attention. We believe Clover is house trained, and with his intelligence and eagerness to learn, he’s sure to be a quick study in his new home. Because of his energy and shepherd nature, Clover would do best in a home with older children (if any) and a family ready to give him the guidance, activity, and love he needs to grow into his full potential.

They may also have medical or behavior needs related to their age.
