Story
German Shepherd, 22 months – Seeking Experienced Home Sweet, affectionate 22-month-old German Shepherd looking for the right home. She is gentle with our kids but is very boisterous, and forms strong bonds. Fully house-trained and crate-trained. She has a sensitive stomach, so diet needs consistency to avoid gastrointestinal upset. She is reactive to other dogs and currently wears a muzzle on walks, so she requires an experienced, confident handler willing to continue training. She can be destructive if left unsupervised and does best in a home where someone is around most of the time. Smart and loving, but needs structure, boundaries, and attention. Will steal food if given the chance. Best suited to an experienced owner, preferably breed experienced, in a pet-free home and ideally child-feee home. In the right environment, she will be a loyal and rewarding companion.

Story
Luke is 9.5 years old. He is looking for a loving home to spend his last years. He is a good boy that just needs somebody with love and time to give him. The reason for rehoming is that we just had a baby and we don't have the ability to give him the love he needs. Luke has good temperament. He typically just wants some attention and love and walks. His favorite toys are fake bones or toys that "squeek". He is up to date on his shots. And is house and kennel trained and is neutered.

Story
Summary: This cool dude is a people lover, so much that a calm touch can settle his anxiety when he is overwhelmed with a situation. He is not loving the shelter life here and struggling to settle at times. A thunder jacket and some tasty kongs can help him feel more at ease. He is a boisterous and pushy guy at times as well as a very big guy who can pull his weight around when he wants.He has a great list of obedience skills that will help him build success once in his new home. Due to his anxious behaviour here in shelter we would require training for him once he is in his new home, having a CPDT certified dog trainer come to help you with a plan once he is home and settling in. This guy may enjoy a companion dog who is appropriate and can show him the ropes and help him feel safe as he settles. We are not seeing any clinical signs of arthritis in shelter but on xrays we are seeing early to moderate arthritis. So keeping his weight down, providing supplements such as glucosamine and doing low impact exercise will help greatly. We also recommend having regular visits with your vet to monitor for any future changes and to watch for signs of pain or discomfort.Health Note for Adopters:This dog has some early changes on X-rays consistent with mild to moderate arthritis, mainly affecting one elbow and mildly in the hips and other elbow. At this time, he is comfortable and active, with no signs of limping or ongoing discomfort noted in clinic or in his foster home.As he ages, adopters are encouraged to monitor for any signs of joint stiffness or front-leg soreness. Simple proactive care—such as maintaining a healthy weight, providing regular low-impact exercise with warm-ups and cool-downs, and discussing joint supplements with your veterinarian—can help support long-term comfort. Routine veterinary checkups are recommended to watch for early changes and guide care as needed.Size: Large to XL once he is back up to weight- 34.5 kg / 76lb and needs to gainChildren: Adult only home pleaseCats: unknown. May do best in a cat free home or where very slow introductions would happen. Dogs: Loved having dogs in his foster home over the weekend, but would need to make sure he is not overdoing things for his legs.

Story
This handsome 4-year-old Shepherd mix is a smart, driven boy who thrives in a calm, structured environment with an experienced dog owner who understands shepherd-type behaviours. He knows several verbal cues including sit, down, shake a paw, and speak, and he takes treats gently, making him a great partner for continued training and enrichment. Best suited to an adult-only home, he can be aloof and sensitive with handling, so children are not recommended. He will benefit from a home committed to daily leash walks, a securely fenced backyard, and ongoing engagement—off-leash parks are not appropriate at this time as he continues to build recall and will need to bond with his new adopters. A dedicated adopter who can follow a structured food program (including interactive feeders, hand-feeding, and trade-ups) and commit to a required private behaviour training class will help this dog reach his full potential. In the right home, he will be a loyal, focused companion who truly shines with consistency and guidance.Size: Medium 25kg/55lbsChildren: Adult only home pleaseCats: Potential for a no cats or small animals home - not tested - recommend slow introductionsDogs: May do best with dogs of similar size and playstyle
