Story

Daisy Ann is an absolute gem. She’s house trained, crate trained, walks beautifully on leash, knows her basic commands, and is more than ready to find her forever home — or a foster who can help her while she waits. Her prior foster mom says, “Daisy Ann is a beautiful dog. She’s protective, loyal, and absolutely adores her adult humans. She loves being near them, going on walks, and playing with toys.”Born in 2021 and 79 pounds, Daisy is a happy, bright, and food-motivated girl. She does well with calm dogs but is a bit shy and needs help building confidence — this is where her person comes in. She’s looking for a strong, active leader who will continue the great progress she’s made and show her she’s safe and loved.Daisy isn’t a fan of cats and would do best in a home with respectful kids over 10. If you’re ready to foster or adopt and help this sweet girl truly shine, please fill out an application today.May 20, 2026, 1:15 am

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, House-trained,

Story

Niko is a 1.5-year-old German Shepherd with a huge heart and endless energy. Found in poor condition, he’s made an amazing recovery and is now a happy, playful boy who loves everyone he meets. He’s friendly with other dogs, though his playful jumping can be too much for some. Niko walks fairly well on leash, doesn’t react to other dogs, and did great on a beach walk. He’s curious about cats but doesn’t chase them and is sweet with kids (just a bit jumpy when excited).Niko is working on being housebroken yet but uses a designated potty area and is learning quickly. He’ll thrive in an active home that can give him the exercise, structure, and love he deserves. After a rough start, he’s ready for his forever family.May 20, 2026, 1:15 am
