Story
This is boy was a surrender along with his siblings at 6 weeks old. We only know he is a Dutch Shepherd and Belgian Malinois. He is loveable, smart and shy. He would do great with another dog to boost his self confidence. Bentley needs time to warm up. He likes kids, but would probably do best with older children. He likes dogs, and cats.

Story
Becca is a joyful, affectionate dog who absolutely adores her people. She's one of the best companions I've ever had. She is loyal, happy, and full of love. Her tail is always wagging, and she brings a smile to everyone she meets. She walks well on a leash when she knows you're in charge, but she can be a bit strong-willed if given the chance to lead. With a confident handler, she's a dream to walk. Due to a past incident where she was attacked by a small dog, Becca does not do well with small animals and would thrive in a home where she's the only pet. 💔 Why I am Rehoming Her It breaks my heart to say goodbye, but Becca needs more space than I can provide. She's not adjusting well to our small home and truly deserves a yard where she can run and play freely. This decision is made out of love and the desire to give her the life she deserves.

Story
***Darwin is in a foster home right now, so he is not at the kennel. If you are interested in him, please fill out the application at K9stray.com and we will be in touch. Thank you.*** Darwin is such a happy guy! He is estimated to be about a year old and weighs 55 pounds. Darwin is a stunning, gorgeous young pup that is just full of love and goofy antics! He's a very affectionate boy who just wants to please and seems highly trainable. So playful too and always eager to explore his surroundings and sniff out new adventures, he is going to make someone a wonderful companion. However, he will need a leader who can provide structure, as well as some basic obedience. Darwin does have some mild food bowl guarding as well, but he is doing great with his training with “sit and wait” for his bowl, easily being called out with hot dogs and making eye contact when trading up. If you are an experienced dog owner who is ready to give Darwin all the love and support he needs, please come and meet him, he is quite wonderful. He will need an adult only home. If you are interested in Darwin and are at least 21 years old, please come to our kennel during business hours, make an appointment, or fill out an application at k9stray.com and an adoption counselor will be in touch. We look forward to helping you find your new best friend! *Please check your lease agreements for breed/weight restrictions prior to applying. We also do not do cat testing, so we do not know how a dog will do with cats. Not all dogs are available to go home on the same day you first meet.*

Story
Meet Jersey, Jersey is a 10 month old Dutch Shepherd from the suburbs of San Jose, California. She was found as a stray and sadly no one came forward for her. She began to shut down and become extremely stressed in her kennel. With shelter attempted introductions, Jersey was unable to prefomr at her best with meeting other dogs, she was not agressive but did not know how to handle meeting other dogs.  While we are still learning more about Jersey and who exactly she is, we do know she is going to require an active family with an experienced handler. *********************************************** To apply to adopt, please fill out the application by clicking on the Adopt button or ask for this dog to be added to your existing application.

Story
Meet Kuma – 10-Month-Old Dutch Shepherd Mix • Chicago, IL Area Kuma is the perfect mix of playful puppy energy and soft, snuggly sweetness. At just 10 months old, he’s well on his way to becoming an incredible lifelong companion. He was found running through traffic on a snowy day on the South Side of Chicago — scared, cold, and with fresh bite wounds on his face. The moment he realized he was safe, he melted into gentle affection. That’s Kuma: a pup who just wants to be loved and included. Since settling into foster care, he has shown what a wonderful dog he truly is. Quick Highlights Age: 10 months old Dog Friendly: Yes — has lived with dogs from 10 lbs to 80 lbs Kid Friendly: Yes — did great with a 3-year-old; best with kids 10+ due to puppy mouthiness Medical: Will need neutered & booster shots.  Personality & Home Behavior • Affectionate, social, and always ready for fun• Nearly perfect house manners — just one accident in over three weeks• Crate trained; sleeps through the night and uses his crate by choice during the day• Playful and goofy, then curled-up-and-cuddly the next moment• Typical puppy mouthiness during play, easily redirected• Still searching for a bed he can’t destroy (he’s trying his best!) Training & Activity • Knows “sit” and “up,” learning “paw” and “leave it”• Loves walks, yard time, fetch, tug, and exploring• Moderate-to-low prey drive — interested in squirrels but not reactive• Gaining healthy weight with consistent nutrition Kuma is a happy, smart, affectionate pup who is ready to be someone’s best friend. With structure, continued training, and plenty of love, he’ll blossom into an exceptional companion. If you’re looking for a young dog with both spirit and sweetness, Kuma is waiting to meet you. #MadLoveKuma *********************************************** To apply to adopt, please fill out the application by clicking on the Adopt button or ask for this dog to be added to your existing application.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.My name is Duke and I’m definitely royalty! The elderly gentleman who adopted me as an 8-week old puppy had to undergo emergency surgery and lost his leg to diabetes, leaving himunable to properly care for me. I was only 10 months old at the time. I am now a 1-year oldstrapping young pup who has known only love and playtime my whole life. I have boundlessenergy and am up for whatever game you have in mind.. tug, fetch, long walks, you name it! Ineed a securely fenced yard as I know no boundaries (having been raised on 25 acres and loveto chase the wildlife, i.e., critters, deer, nothing is off limits)! I have shared my home with catsand will even play with cats! I have not been introduced (other than thru my kennel;) to myForster Mom’s dog as he is a special needs dog with delicate hips. Although I display “normal”fencing behavior in my kennel, it appears that I will be ok with another dog given slow, properintroduction. The best fit would be a dog that can keep up with my high-energy personality!That said, I CANNOT be crated. I am strong and have destroyed a large crate from the insideout. I do well in a large welded wire kennel (minimum size 6 x 8 x 4, pictured). My Foster Momkeeps me safe in a 10 x 8 x 6 kennel which I cannot topple and am safe in when she is away.As my prior home offered me limited opportunity to meet new people, I am wary of strangersand need slow, proper introductions. Once I know you, you are my friend! I bond easily withmy “person” and will guard that person and my home. An experienced owner is preferred. I amNOT a couch potato - and given the opportunity, I will probably eat your couch!If you’re looking for a constant companion to start every day will a smile, woof and wag - I’myour guy!12 Month old German ShepherdNeuteredMicrochippedHouse trainedGood with CatsPlayfulVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.  ********************************************************************************** We show some of our adoptable dogs at PetSmart, Utica, each Saturday between the hours of 11:00am and 3:00pm.  Cats typically don't do well at events, so they only attend with a pre-approved meet and greet appointment.

Story
First time we meet Shelby was 8 years ago at Petsmart Store adaption center. Shelby is a german shepherd hound, with black and white color. She was a rescue dog, very quiet, shy and observant dog with a very sweet face. It didn't take her a long time to warm up and get comfortable to us that she became the 4th member of our family. She is very playful to our other dog who is younger than her. and very protective too. If hope we will be able to find her a new loving home.
