Story
Gummie Bear is a 8-month-old German Shepherd/Lab mix who currently weighs 48 lbs and is expected to be around 60 lbs full grown. This sweet, spunky girl is equal parts playful energy and lovable goofball. She loves to play and has plenty of energy for adventures, but she also settles down nicely when it’s time to relax. Gummie Bear is smart, treat-motivated, and already showing great potential for training. One of her cutest quirks? She’s a “crawler”—and her silly antics are guaranteed to keep you laughing. Gummie Bear does great with dogs and kids. She is a bit too interested in cats, so a cat-free home or one with careful introductions would be best. She is spayed, heartworm negative, fully vaccinated, and dewormed—healthy and ready for her forever home. Her adoption fee is $350. If you’re looking for a fun, active pup with a big personality and an even bigger heart, Gummie Bear is ready to bounce her way right into your life!June 17, 2026, 11:49 pm

Story
Meet Nora! Nora is a stunning 5-year-old, 60 lb lab/German Shepherd mix with a loyal heart and a love for her people. She’s the kind of dog who wants to be right by your side — your shadow, your adventure buddy, your best friend. This smart girl is housebroken, crate trained, and fully obedience trained. She walks beautifully on a leash and loves being part of whatever her humans are doing. Nora’s story started off rough — she and her siblings were found abandoned in a box on the side of the road as tiny puppies. Thanks to a wonderful rescue mom, they all grew up healthy and strong and found homes. Nora’s first home wasn’t the perfect fit, but she’s ready for her true forever family now. Nora would do best as either an only dog or with a stable male companion, as she doesn’t get along well with other females. She also needs caution and supervision around cats. She is spayed, fully vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, and heartworm negative. Her adoption fee is $250. If you’re looking for a loving, loyal companion with great manners and a big heart, Nora is ready to be your girl!June 17, 2026, 11:49 pm

Story
Verity is a 4-year-old, 65-lb German Shepherd/Cattle Dog mix (best guess!) with brains, energy, and a heart full of love. She’s a very quick learner and thrives on activity, making her a wonderful match for an active family who can keep her mind and body busy. This smart little lady is crate trained, completely housebroken, and quickly picking up leash manners and basic obedience. She loves people, gets along well with kids and dogs, but does have a high prey drive—so she will need caution and supervision around cats. Verity has been spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, and tested negative for heartworms. Her adoption fee is $250. To apply to adopt, visit roseacresrescue.org.June 17, 2026, 11:49 pm

Story
Meet Skye! Skye is a 5-year-old German Shepherd/Golden Retriever mix with a heart as big as her smile! When she was first picked up by animal control, she weighed only 43 lbs — but with love and care, she’s now a healthy 55 lbs and ready to find her forever home. This beautiful girl has a soft, medium-length coat and a gentle spirit. Though she’s still learning to trust and find her confidence, Skye absolutely thrives on praise and affection. She adores kids, enjoys spending time with cats, and is an all-around sweetheart once she feels safe. Skye isn’t a fan of female dogs, so she’d do best as your only pup or with a calm male companion. She did lose part of her right ear and now sports a docked tail after an old scuffle, but don’t worry — it hasn’t slowed her down one bit! Skye has been spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, and tested heartworm negative. Her adoption fee is $250. If you’re ready to give this resilient, loving girl the forever home she deserves, come meet Skye today — she’s waiting to steal your heart! June 17, 2026, 11:49 pm

Story
I rescued Zara in Tennessee. She had been running about. Guessed age 1-3 years but she was definitely a puppy. She grew a lot and had puppy behaviors. She had separation anxiety and hated being crated. She can crate now if it s the right cage and anchored so she can not move it. Cage no longer than 4 hours. She does well in outdoor kennel for up to 8 hours but again it has to be inescapable. She adores children and her people. Loves people more than dogs but she does play well with those closer to her size. She’s a Velcro dog. She will not be happy if left alone too often. Very smart but will need consistent boundaries or she will lean toward being dominant. She responds better to praise than loud or physical forcing. She now will stay in yard or very close at neighbors WHILE I’m home. You can’t leave her out and go. She will look for someone who is home. Scared of thunder and fireworks. She is a love bug. Not a working dog.

Scout is a 2-3 year old male, very well behaved, and super sweet! His smile is contagious as his little white teeth just shine along with his face when he is happy. He is fully vetted and healthy - ready for his "furever" home. He is a funny boy! He has the cutest ears that look as if they wanted to be Shepherd ears, but they tilt over at the tips in the most adorable way. He loves to run and play with the other rescues and my personal dogs as well. He is about 65 pounds. He lives with 3 kitties with zero issues. He is house and crate trained. LOVES tummy rubs! auburnplayer54@gmail.com Adoption fee helps to pay for vetting so the next life can be saved.
