Story
Meet Dia! She’s a smart, affectionate, playful young dog with tremendous potential! Highly food-motivated, she learns commands quickly and has done very well in obedience training. She’s housebroken, crate trained, and comfortable in her playpen when left alone. She enjoys walks, interactive toys, snuffle mats, and especially tug-of-war! Dia’s biggest challenge is excessive mouthiness and difficulty regulating her excitement. She tends to grab clothing, hands, and other objects during play and can be difficult to redirect or settle. She needs an experienced, patient owner committed to continued training and helping her develop impulse control. She can be timid in unfamiliar situations and needs gentle introductions. An adult-only home without young children or senior pets would be best. Her compatibility with other animals is untested. With the right guidance and environment, Dia has the potential to become an exceptional companion!

Story
Available to foster or adopt!Breed: German Shepherd X DOB: 10/2025 Gender: male Altered: yes Coat: medium Size: large Color(s): black/white/tan Description: ***Needs a Foster Home*** This dog is in need of a foster home as well as a permanent home. If you are interested in fostering please fill out an online application. Hi, I'm Boone, a sweet and energetic German Shepherd X, who is a bundle of joy looking for my forever home! Surrendered by my previous owner to Lancaster Shelter, I have already shown my love for people and children, having lived with kids aged 5 and 11. I may be a bit shy at first, but with patience and love, I will blossom into a playful and affectionate companion. I am crate trained and do well on walks, showing off my excellent leash manners. I'm food and praise motivated—being pet and told 'good boy' will make my tail wag! I would benefit from an active home that can continue my training and provide me with the structure I need. I'm not house trained yet, so a patient family willing to work with me will be ideal. I need a home where I won't be left alone all day and can burn off my puppy energy in a big, safe area. I'm better with female, submissive dogs and, unfortunately, have a tendency to chase cats and chickens, so a pet-free or careful introduction home would be best. I also loves splashing around in a kiddie pool, adding an extra layer of fun to my playful personality. If you're looking for a loyal and loving puppy who will grow into a wonderful companion with the right care and training, I'm your guy. Please fill out an online application to come meet me and give sweet me the home I deserve! *Thank you to Sharon for sponsoring this wonderful dog at the Burnice Kraemer Sanctuary and giving him the chance for a better life.November 6, 2026, 3:57 pm

If you are interested in fostering please fill out an online application. Hi, I'm Colby, a charming and spirited German Shepherd X seeking my perfect match! Surrendered by my previous owner to Lancaster Shelter, I have already shown my love for people and children, having lived with kids aged 5 and 11. I am vocal and food-motivated dog, making me a delightful companion for those who appreciate a communicative and affectionate pup. I'm crate trained, though I'm still working on house training, so a patient and understanding owner will be ideal. I have a high prey drive, so a home without smaller pets or livestock is essential. I'm reactive to other male dogs or strong-willed dogs but is accepting of submissive females of my own size. I need a quiet place with minimal distractions to thrive, as I can become easily stimulated and is a strong chewer who may try to explore beyond normal fencing. One of my favorite activities is splashing around in kiddie pools—it's my idea of heaven! However, I don't do well being left alone at home for long periods, as my investigative nature leads me to explore my surroundings. With the right environment and a loving family, I am sure to bring joy and laughter to your life.

If you are interested in fostering please fill out an online application. Hi, I'm Maverick, a handsome German Shepherd X waiting for his forever home. I was found as a stray after my family moved to an apartment and couldn't take me with them. It seems they gave me to a family member who was supposed to bring me to the shelter, but I ended up being dumped instead. Despite this tragedy, I remain a hopeful and loving companion. I need a little time to open up and trust you, but once I do, you'll have a devoted friend for life. I'm an indoor dog at heart and I enjoy the simple pleasures in life: peaceful walks in the park, relaxing in the shade, and playing with my favorite toys. I am also a fan of the beach and ocean, and I especially love a good splash in a kiddie pool to cool off. I'm also a toy enthusiast with an agility tunnel talent! I enjoy treats, especially jerky! Although I once lived in a home with three children, the youngest being 6 years old, my ideal home would be with an experienced dog owner and as the only pet.

I'm a wonderful boy who is looking for my forever family to shower with love and loyalty. I'm an active boy who is always up for a good time, whether it's going on walks, playing with toys, or chewing on my favorite bones. But don't let my energy fool you – I am also a gentle and affectionate soul who just wants to connect. I'm a quick learner and already know some commands, such as coming when called, sitting on command, and staying. I'm also house-trained and already know how to use a doggie door! I walk well on a leash and I am friendly to strangers, so you'll be the envy of all your neighbors during our daily strolls and adventures. I am a young dog who was surrendered to the shelter due to landlord issues, but I'm ready to put that behind me and find my new best friend. I was fortunate to be saved but a caring human, but unfortunately it's only a temporary home while I wait for my forever home. With my playful spirit and outgoing nature, I would love to have another furry companion in the home to pal around with. Could you be the one to give me the second chance I deserve? It is unknown how I would do with children or cats as I haven't been around them yet.

Story
Indra originally belonged to my younger brother. About three years ago, my brother was no longer able to house him, so I took Indra into my home with the intention of caring for him temporarily until my brother was in a position to take him back. Unfortunately, what was expected to be a temporary arrangement has now lasted three years, and my brother is still unable to take him back.Indra has been part of our family throughout that time. He is a very loving dog who becomes extremely attached to his people and loves being around his family. Unfortunately, he has also struggled significantly with being separated from the people he is attached to. Our family circumstances have changed significantly over the past three years, including welcoming a new baby into our home. Recently his needs have become more than our household can reasonably manage. We are hoping to find him a safe, loving new home.
