Story
Lakota was born here in Edmonton and was a rescue. He's a 7 year old German Shepherd dog who still has plenty of energy and play in them. Lakota really loves melon,cantaloupe and carrots as his favorites especially cantaloupe. I'm looking to find Lakota a home where he has space to run, has yo be stable household or at least have someone who's very physically active and patient. He's well behaved on walks although he likes to say hello very loudly untill given attention by new people and dogs. Lakota is okay with most dogs given some time. He does get anxious on car rides however after sometime he either passes out is calmed down with snack. He'll give you kisses till you can't handle no more, and does his best to give hugs.

Story
Puppies are so overrated! If you`re looking for a dog who is leash-trained, house-trained, comfortable alone, and won`t chew up your stuff, then look no further then Rosco! This good boy may be 10 years old, but he still enjoys exercise and is comfortable with long walks or short jogs together. We`d love to find Rosco a family who shares his idea of the perfect day -- a long walk in nature, followed by a yummy snack and naptime in a sunny corner. Rosco is friendly with other dogs, and may do well with a laid-back or older dog who won`t make him play too hard. However, after a rough beginning, the unpredictable movements of small children make Rosco feel unsafe, so adults and teens would be his preferred companions. Rosco would make a wonderful work-from-home companion, but is equally suitable as happy face and wagging tail to welcome you home at the end of your day. If you can give Rosco the retirement home he deserves, visit him today!A bit about Rosco: - no kids in home; teens or adults only- unknown history with cats; slow, supervised introductions required- dogs okay pending successful introduction

He is a really good dog. Afraid of people but gets to warm up when people are gentle. He knows few tricks like sit, go,stay. He is playful. He never creates mess in the house as he is housetrained. He is gentle and adorable. He is also energetic but also gets tired easily. He is 3 years old but he still thinks he is puppy and likes to lay in laps. He loves his belly rubs

Story
This 1 year, 9 month old Shepherd mix is a bright and sensitive young girl with so much potential to shine in the right home. She has a gentle nature and takes treats very softly, showing a great foundation for reward-based learning and bonding with her person. She will thrive with a knowledgeable, experienced dog owner who enjoys building skills through positive reinforcement and enrichment, including interactive feeding and training games. An active, structured lifestyle with daily leash walks and a securely fenced yard will help her settle into a balanced routine, while a calm, quiet, adult-focused home will allow her to feel safe and build confidence at her own pace.She will benefit from continued learning through a basic manners or behaviour-focused training class. With patience, consistency, and a dedicated owner committed to her growth, she has all the makings of a deeply loyal and devoted companion who will form a strong, meaningful bond.Size: Medium 22.5kg/50lbsChildren: Adult only home pleaseCats: No small animals please.

Story
Hi, I’m Zoey I’m a German Shepherd mix with a bright mind and a big heart, and I’m on the lookout for my forever home. I came to the shelter as a surrender, and while that part of my story is behind me, I’m ready to focus on what comes next—a fresh start with someone who believes in me. I’m gonna need some structure, guidance, and plenty of positive training. I’m incredibly smart and eager to learn, which means that with the right commitment, I have so much potential to do amazing things. I just need someone patient and consistent to help me become the very best version of myself. Kennel life can be a bit tough for me, and I sometimes get stressed when I’m confined for too long, if left alone to long I will figure out how to run. my recall is amazing but I still need to be outside with a person to stay in the yard. What I really dream about is a home where I can stretch my legs, stay mentally engaged, and feel secure in a routine. I haven't had alot of positive interations with dogs so far so I get really nervous around them and perfer to avoid them. If you’re someone who’s ready to invest time, love, and training into a loyal and intelligent companion, I promise I’ll meet you with dedication, growth, and plenty of affection along the way.

Story
Hi future family, My name is Donggu. 😊 I’m a 4-year-old German Shepherd boy weighing around 32kg. I may look big and strong on the outside, but deep down I’m a gentle, calm soul who truly loves people. 💛 Before I was rescued, I was living in a city shelter and came very close to euthanasia. I went through difficult times, but somehow I never lost my trust in humans. Even now, I still greet people with kindness and an open heart. When I meet someone new, I usually lower my head slightly and greet them very politely — that’s just my way of saying hello. During walks, I sometimes wag my tail and gently approach people passing by because I genuinely enjoy human company. And honestly… if you have a treat, we’ll probably become best friends very quickly. 😊 If unfamiliar visitors come into the house, I may be a little cautious at first, but I warm up pretty fast once I realize everything is okay. I also get along wonderfully with other dogs and even cats. 🐕🐈 Whether I become your one and only dog or join a home with other pets, I adapt very well and enjoy peaceful companionship. My personality is calm and gentle overall, but I also enjoy outdoor activities and walks. I’m not overly high-energy, so I’m the kind of dog who enjoys both adventure and relaxing quietly beside my family. Walks are one of my favorite things in the world. I love sniffing around and exploring new scents. I can pull on the leash a little sometimes because I get excited, but if my person asks me to stop, I listen pretty well. Loud cars, flapping banners, cats, or birds during walks don’t really bother me much — I’m usually more focused on enjoying the moment with my human. I prefer going potty outside and enjoy having a regular routine, usually with morning and evening walks. I don’t struggle with separation anxiety, but if soft toys, cushions, or fluffy items are left around while I’m alone, I might chew on them a little for fun. Other than that, I’m a very quiet and relaxed boy at home and rarely bark. I absolutely love sweet potatoes and chicken, and I’m not picky with food at all. Even taking medicine is easy for me if it’s hidden inside a yummy snack. I’m also very polite at the vet and stay calm during checkups.💛 People say I’m smart and very observant. If you teach me something calmly, I try hard to understand what you want from me. Right now, I’m learning “sit” and doing my best every day. 😊 I’ve experienced many changes and difficult moments in my life, but I still believe in people and still know how to love. Now I’m hoping to find more than just a temporary place to stay. I want a real family — someone to walk beside, rest beside, grow older beside, and share everyday life with. I’m waiting patiently for the family who will fill the rest of my life with love, comfort, and forever memories. 🐾 Love, Donggu
