Story
Handsom T is an absolute sweetheart who is easy going and social. This friendly 8 year old male adores people and loves to smooch! He's interested, but courteous, around other dogs and should integrate well into a household with one or more large dogs.   His high energy and good mobility would make him a great hiking buddy. Since he's a big athletic guy, a strong handler is recommended for leash walks. Like many GSDs, Handsom loves food more than toys, and is an eager eater. He can be a bit grabby when taking treats, but is responding well to the ‘Gently’ command. He would be equally happy as the one and only with a single adopter or as part of a family with older respectful kids.  ##2638406##

Story
Lola T. is a beautiful 7 year old German Shepherd female weighing 64 pounds. She is the perfect size for adopters of all ages. She easily makes friends with people, and playfully seeks attention in a pushy sort of way. She does well in meeting other large dogs, especially males, and does OK meeting females but she can be a bit dominant.   She loves to sniff around every corner of her environment as a curious soul might do.  We are not sure how she would react to cats, but we do know she does great around older kids.  She is easy to walk on leash, rarely pulling, enjoys her walks and occasionally will exhibit some stiffness while walking. Her overall personality is that of a friendly, playful, very affectionate dog that likes attention and lets you know when she wants that attention, but in a loving way. To top all of this she likes car rides, knows basic commands such as "sit", "no", "come", is house-trained and has good, healthy energy.  If you are searching for a devoted, easy to live with dog, and an affectionate loyal friend, then Lola T. is ready to steal your heart. ##2653114##

Story
Hanzi is a handsome German Shepherd boy with warm brown eyes and a heart to match. He was surrendered to a shelter when his family had to move and couldn’t find housing that allowed a dog. While the shelter noted that he spent most of his time outdoors, he has quickly adapted to indoor living with his foster, where he has developed very good manners, including fast responses to “sit,” “wait,” and “place.” He has a gentle, affectionate, and social personality and would make a loyal companion for an individual or a great addition to a family. He’s proven to be good with children (as young as 4) as well as other dogs. He’s shown no reactivity to other dogs and has spent significant time with two English Cocker Spaniels, who he largely ignores. He sleeps quietly all night in a crate, never making a sound until you’re ready to get up. He generally barks when a stranger comes to the door but welcomes friends quietly. As a healthy, active 8-year-old, he loves his walks both on and off leash. In open space, he has developed good recall skills with his foster, which need to be reinforced to remain effective (as is the case with all dogs). ##2601042##

Story
Meet Callie T. a German Shepherd girl weighing about 90 lbs. who is roughly 10 years old. With her big size comes a big heart, which can be easily stolen. She is a very gentle soul, and is good with all dogs and older kids (mostly simply because of her size).  Callie T. is house-trained and displays medium energy.  Typical of most of the German Shepherd Dogs she gets VERY excited about car rides (to the point that she needs some Trazodone to take the edge off her excitement). She knows and obeys basic commands such as sit and come. She is a very social, affectionate, friendly dog, that meets people in a heart-felt way especially if they have Charlee Bear treats handy.  Her knees are VERY swollen and can be painful on walks, but she is very stoic about the pain she is experiencing.  She prefers short walks with frequent rest stops. Could this be the dog for you? ##2701555##

Story
7yr old tan M/N shepherd mix Foster notes: Noble is a sensitive guy and he seems to be more comfortable around women than men for now.  He loves being near his person & follows me all day around the house.  He may resource guard his bed.  He bit my husband the first week we had him when he tried to pet him when he was on his bed.  I have since kept him apart from my husband and he has not shown any signs of aggression for a while and he has even wagged his tail at my husband.  I would still err on the side of caution with new people and men with his bed.  Any iffy situation I have him leashed and muzzled or on the other side of a baby gate.  When people come over or in crowded places I let him wear a comfortable muzzle.  It makes me more comfortable and it keeps him out of trouble.  He has walked in very crowded places in close quarters wearing a muzzle and has not shown any signs of aggression.  I feel that if there is any aggression it could be territorial or fearful aggression because I have only seen him do it at home.  I don’t know how he is around children but I think it would be a safer bet to say no kids.  He is potty trained.  He is good with other dogs with a proper introduction.  I have two pit bulls and a chihuahua and he hangs out with them all day long.  He is obsessed with playing fetch.  He will drop the ball in front of you while you are cooking dinner.  Once he thinks you are his person, you could not find a more loyal and loving campanion.  He has decompressed a lot in the short time he has lived with me and he will  be even better with time in a loving and patient home.  His ideal owner would be someone who is willing to take it slow with him and let him open up on his own terms, someone with a lot of dog experience, who is home a lot, a woman.  Also he came to me with itchy skin and I have been giving him fresh food and it has cleared everything up.  So a dream home would provide that for him too otherwise I think he might have allergies. Also Noble is very athletic.  If someone wants a jogging partner, he would be up for it. ##2632401##

Story
3 yr old M tan/white GSD mix Meet Duke, a handsome 3-year-old, 48 pound boy looking to find his perfect forever home! Recently rescued from SASA, this sweet boy was surrendered by his family, who said they no longer had time for him. Despite this tough start, he remains an incredibly loving and hopeful pup, eager for a new chapter with someone who will truly cherish him. According to his foster family, he’s the whole package: house-broken, crate-trained (he even puts himself to bed!), and always eager to please. He loves his toys, enjoys playtime, and gets along well with dogs his own age. With older dogs he can be a bit cautious, so he may thrive best as the only pet where he can soak up all the love and attention he craves. He’s house broken completely. He even learned how to ring the bell to go outside  What truly makes him special, his foster family says, is his affectionate nature. He seeks connection, happily leaning in for pets and companionship, and would be a loyal, loving addition to a home that wants a smart and tenderhearted companion. If you’re looking for a devoted friend, Duke is ready to fill your days with joy. Come meet him your new best buddy could be waiting! ##2561501##
