Story
Hi there! I’m a lively shepherd who absolutely loves going on long walks! There’s just so much to sniff and explore out there! I get super excited whenever I hear the leash jingling because I know treats and adventure are coming my way. Speaking of treats, I’m a total foodie and always happy to earn a snack or two for being a good pup. When I’m home, you’ll find me chewing on my favorite toys or chasing after them like I’m on a mission. Just one thing... I’m not really into making friends with other dogs. I prefer to keep my circle small and focus on the humans I trust. But if you’re up for a fun walk and some playtime, I’m your dog!

Story
Hi there. I’m Willow. I’m a shepherd, and yeah, I’ve got a few spots where my fur’s a little thin. It’s okay, though; my people say I’m still handsome, and I think they’re right. I’m not the kind of dog who rushes up to everyone right away. I like to take my time.. sniff things out, watch, and make sure you’re safe and kind. Once I decide you’re a friend, though? Oh, you’ll have a shadow forever. I love leaning into people I trust, feeling their hands scratch behind my ears or rub my chest. That’s the best feeling in the world. Playtime is great too!! Tug toys, fetch, even a good roll in the grass. But I also love my naps. There’s something about curling up in a sunny spot or next to my person that makes me feel peaceful and happy.A nd snacks? Don’t even get me started on snacks. I’ll do just about anything for a crunchy treat or a piece of cheese. Life’s pretty simple when you think about it. A few good people, a soft place to rest, and something tasty to munch on. That’s all I need.

Story
Hi there! I’m Matcha! An older shepherd mix, but don’t let my age fool you... I still have plenty of spark in me. My favorite thing in the whole world? Tennis balls! I carry them around proudly like they’re my greatest treasures (because honestly, they are). You’ll often see me trotting around with one in my mouth, tail wagging, showing off my prized possession. But I don`t really want to share, so I`ll just take my tennis balls and lay down, do my own thing. I’ve learned a lot over the years; how to be patient, gentle, and grateful for the little things. I love treats and I’ll give you my best “good dog” eyes every time you open the treat bag. I may be a bit slower now, but I still enjoy a nice game of fetch, a cozy nap afterward, and quiet moments with my favorite humans. I’m loyal, calm, and full of love to give. All I need is a comfy spot to rest, a few tennis balls to call my own, and a person who’ll see the wonderful old soul that I am If you’re looking for a companion who’ll always be by your side I might just be the one for you.

Hey there! Thanks for checking me out. I came in with my siblings but I`m ready to get out of here. I do enjoy to do my own thing and prefers to just hang out. I`m not a super clingy type of guy so there`s a plus! I`m getting old and just need my own couch to rest on.. someone give me a chance!

Story
Hi there! My name’s Furee! I’m a shepherd with a big heart and maybe an even bigger personality. I like to think of myself as a working dog, but really, I just love being around people. If you scratch behind my ears or tell me I’m a good boy, I’ll melt right there on the spot. I can’t help it... I love attention! Most days, I follow my favorite humans around like a shadow, tail wagging, always ready to help or just flop down nearby. I get a little wiggly when someone gives me treats. I’ll admit it I act like a big puppy sometimes. It’s hard not to when life’s this good and there’s someone kind nearby to notice me. Now, I won’t lie.... it takes me a bit of time to warm up to new people. I like to watch first, make sure they’re gentle and patient. But once I know you’re safe, you’ll have a friend for life. I’ll nuzzle your hand, bring you my favorite toy, and stick by your side through anything. I may be a shepherd by breed, but my heart’s pure companion. Attention, treats, and being close to my people... that’s all I need.

Story
Hi, I’m Ivy, your future adventure buddy! I’m a sweet, social girl who loves greeting new people. I walk right up with a wag, soak up pets, and lean in for affection. I’m easy to leash, love to explore, and I take my sniffing very seriously so I can pull a bit when I’m excited, but I settle once I get my bearings. I’m polite meeting other dogs and warm up quickly with a calm intro. In new spaces I check in with my person often, and once I trust you, I’m all about quiet companionship and gentle affection. I’m not big on toys or treats right now, but I’m all heart. If you’re looking for a friendly, curious girl who wants a patient, loving home and plenty of walks, I’m your match. Let’s go explore the world together.

Phoenix is an incredible dog. If you have a family and youre looking for a safe dog for your children, she is the absolute best dog you can find. She loves snuggles, treats and cleaning up after her tiny humans meals as they drop food during meal time lol. We are moving across country to take care of my sick mom and unable to find a place we can afford that will accommodate dogs, and we simply won't have time to give them the walks and love they need in this diffucult season of our lives. We would love for Phoenix and Blue to be adopted together in an ideal world. They are both amazing dogs, potty trained, super friendly and so super smart. Her best friend Blue is a Husky/German Shepard his nickname is the monk, because he's just such a chill dude around our feisty 2 year old daughter lol. He puts up with so much, I know he'd be the best boy for a family that has the time and space for him and Phoenix.
