Story
This is tucker he is a German shepherd Belgian malinois and probably something else we got him from the humane society about 2 years ago he is very sweet and great with kids dogs and cats. We sadly need to rehome him due to us not being home nowhere near enough for him. He spends most of his time in the cage due to it. He needs a home where they can spend time with him and take him out to play. He has so much energy but we have no time to help him get it out. He is crate trained and know basic commands like sit, down , come , and touch. He is potty trained. He has his rabies vaccine. We are asking $300 for him and he will come with his crate, dog bed toys, the rest of his food, dog bowls , treats , dog soap, nail clippers, collar, leash and harness

These 4 dogs were found in a construction yard by one of our rescue supporters.  They are so much more than we expected  super sweet and quite mellow dogs   We are curious and very friendly.  Good with children. We have not been around a lot of things so want to smell and check everything out.  Each one of us is still learning how to walk on a leash.  We are easily corrected and redirected.  We love to play with each other and all get along well.  If possible I would love to be adopted with one of my siblings.  We don’t bark unless something super big is happening and really enjoy our mid day naps. We all like to go for car rides.  We are not quite potty trained, but want to learn. We really enjoy chewing on our bully sticks and playing with our toys. We have super thick coats and don’t mind getting brushed.   And the vet said we were good patients.   April 19, 2024, 3:06 pm

Story
We rescued Ares "temporarily" when he was 5 months old from a family who could no longer keep him. He had been found by this family near a dumpster with his litter mates. He has an extremely sweet personality and loves to play fetch. Fetch is his favorite game EVER and he can play with you for hours. He is great with other dogs (loves the dog park) and kids but needs a family who has the time to take him out and play with him. We just welcomed our 3rd surprise baby and with me going back to work full time we need to urgently find him a family for him. We love him so much and don't want to let him go but we want to do what is best for him and his needs.

Please welcome Jewel!  Jewel is a beautiful, cream and white German Shepherd mix who is 2 years old and weighs approximately 45 pounds.  She was rescued from a high kill shelter.  Jewel was a staff favorite, and it was reported that this sweet girl was being bullied by her kennel mates.  Jewel is now thriving under the loving care of her foster mom!  She has the most mesmerizing eyes, is very affectionate and absolutely loves being rubbed and scratched!  German Shepherds are known for their intelligence and unwavering loyalty, they need proper training to reach their full potential.  She will need an active individual or family who has time to dedicate to taking her for long walks or hikes. Jewel is good with all dogs with proper introductions and would also do well as an only dog.  Jewel is potty trained, leash trained and has not been exposed to cats or small children.  Jewel is spayed, dewormed, microchipped and up to date on her vaccinations.  If you are interested in meeting or adopting this sweet girl, please visit our website www.lolr.org. ##1698874##

Hi, I'm Maple! Maple is a sweet German Shepherd/Australian Shepherd mix around 6 years old. I love to cuddle and be around my people. I know basic commands like sit, lay and shake. I love treats and very motivated when you use them with me. Essentially, I love doing tricks for treats. I'm smart so I am housebroken and I tell my foster parents when I need to go out. I love looking out the window at cars going by on the street. I get along well with other dogs my size and may not bowl you over with love and kisses immediately when I meet you but I definitely will once I know you a little bit more. Once I know you I won't want to leave your side and will be your most loyal friend. I love going for walks to smell all the new smells. I really would be a great addition to any family, I just want to live out my latter part of my life with a loving family! Maple is up for adoption with A Wish for Animals- based in California. Adoption fees cover transport, spay/neutering, and up to date vaccines. Please see the attached website to fill out an adoption application for our sweet girl. www.awishforanimals.org    Interested in adopting this pet?
