Story

White German Shepherd Age: 4 years old He is fully trained and knows all basic commands. He is very friendly with people and has lived with us since he was a puppy. He can be sensitive around other dogs, but he is a wonderful companion and has great manners. The reason we need to rehome him is because our work schedule has become extremely busy. He spends long hours alone at home, and it has caused him to feel depressed and anxious. Sometimes, when we cannot return home on time, he may have accidents indoors. We love him very much, but we can no longer give him the time and daily companionship he needs. He deserves a home where someone has more time to be with him, play with him, and give him the attention he needs. He would do well with an active family or someone who can spend consistent time with him. We hope to find a caring adopter who understands German Shepherds and can provide a stable, loving home.

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.”At around 4 years old 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.
