My beautiful German Shepherd is 3 years old and is a loyal, intelligent, and loving dog. He is protective but gentle with people he knows. He enjoys walks, companionship, and being part of the family. I am looking for a responsible, loving home with someone who understands the German Shepherd breed and can give him the time, attention, and stability he deserves. This decision was not easy, and my priority is finding him a safe, permanent, and caring home.”

Story
Meet Trudy Even though Trudy hasn’t been with us long, her personality is already shining through — and she is an absolute delight. Trudy is spunky, confident, and loves to explore. She’s curious about the world and eager to learn, which tells us she’ll likely be a high-energy, easy-to-train pup as she grows. That said, she also knows how to relax and loaf around with her people once the adventures are done. This sweet girl very much wants to be with her humans at all times and has been wonderful with both our small and large dog. She’s also done great with our 5-year-old son, showing a friendly, playful, and social nature. Our guess is she is some kind of Aussie, GSD, cattle dog mix.  Trudy sleeps well in her crate and we’re actively working on potty training, she’s already off to a great start. And let’s be honest… her adorable little bob tail might just steal your heart instantly, we’ve affectionately dubbed her “big bootie Trudy”.  If you’re looking for a fun, affectionate companion who will happily join you for adventures and cuddle up at home afterward, Trudy could be your girl. ##2643964##

Story
Meet Linus — a super friendly, sweet-natured pup who’s ready to be someone’s best friend. Linus is around 3 years old and has that perfect mix of playful energy and cuddle-on-the-couch vibes. He loves people, greets everyone with a wagging tail, and has the kind of gentle, happy personality that makes him easy to fall in love with. Linus previously had an FHO (femoral head ostectomy) surgery and has healed beautifully. He moves comfortably and enjoys normal dog activities like walks, playtime, and lounging with his humans. Dogs typically do very well after this procedure, and Linus is a great example of that success. This sweet boy would thrive in a home where he can get daily walks, affection, and lots of love. He’s the kind of dog who just wants to be near his people and be part of everyday life. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion with a big heart and an even bigger smile, Linus might just be your perfect match. ##2619292##

Story
Meet Ginger – A Gentle Soul Searching for Her Forever Home Ginger is a sweet and loyal girl who has given her whole heart to her humans, only to find herself waiting for a family once again. At 10 years old, she deserves to spend her golden years surrounded by love, peace, and stability. Ginger's foster family love her. She is loyal to her folks. She will bark at someone at the door and makes it very clear she is there to make sure no one does anything to her people. In reality Ginger would rather hang out with her people. She bonds hard and loves unconditionally. She does need a family or person that is shepherd savvy.   Ginger is great with dog friendly dogs and in fact she can keep up with much younger dogs. Do not think because Ginger is a senior she is not capable. Ginger is able to jump into the back of a truck with no issues and can go on long walks with absolutely no issues.  Ginger is house-trained as well crate-trained, and she enjoys her walks, though she may pull a bit when excited. More than anything, she just wants a soft bed, gentle hands, and a family who will never let her go again. She would love to spend a rainy day laying on the bed cuddling or going on a road trip.  Senior dogs like Ginger have so much to give—they are wise, grateful, and deeply devoted. Ginger has waited far too long for her happily ever after. If you’re ready to open your heart and home to this special girl ask to meet her.  ##1908335##

Story
Luna Bug Luna Bug is the kind of girl who sneaks into your heart without you even realizing it. She’s sweet, gentle, and happiest when she’s close to her people — whether that’s curled up beside you on the couch or quietly following you from room to room like your little shadow. She has a soft, loving nature and an expressive face that seems to say, “What are we doing next?” Luna Bug enjoys playtime but isn’t over-the-top — she’s the perfect mix of fun and cuddly. After a little burst of zoomies or a toy session, she’s more than ready to settle in for snuggles. She’s learning her manners and wants so badly to please. With consistency and love, she blossoms quickly. Luna Bug would thrive in a home where she can feel safe, adored, and included in everyday life. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion with a heart as big as her name is cute, Luna Bug might just be your girl. ##2656142##

Story
Meet Belle! Belle is a 4–5 month old Belgian Malinois mix with the sweetest soul and a heart full of love. This cuddly girl is happiest when she’s snuggled up with her people—but don’t let that fool you, she’s also ready to be your next adventure buddy! Belle absolutely adores other dogs and would love a canine companion to play and prance around with. She does best in a cat-free home, though. She’s been wonderful with her foster family’s 11-month-old son and has shown herself to be loving and affectionate. At night, Belle is perfectly content sleeping in her kennel (which she loves!), though her foster family admits it’s hard to resist cuddling her instead. She’s doing great learning how to walk nicely on leash, but she’d much rather jump into piles of leaves and try to keep up with the big dogs—it’s all part of her puppy charm! Belle enjoys bones and toys, rides like a dream in the car (she’ll curl up and nap), and is an all-around happy pup. She’s still deciding how she feels about rain and bath time… and for now, she’s decided she’s not a fan. If you’re looking for a loving, playful, and loyal companion who will cuddle with you after a day of adventures, Belle might just be your perfect match  ##2560536##

Story
Trooper’s story is one of incredible resilience. As a young puppy, he was found with a broken jaw and underwent two surgeries to repair it. Due to his injuries, he’s missing the front part of his lower jaw — but don’t tell him that! Trooper doesn’t let it slow him down one bit. He eats, drinks, plays fetch, and enjoys life just like any other dog. His joyful spirit and determination shine through in everything he does, reminding everyone he meets what it means to be strong, happy, and unstoppable. This handsome boy is as smart as he is sweet — he already knows his basic commands, including sit, down, middle, place, and crate. He walks beautifully on leash and is a joy to walk. He loves to learn and is eager to please, especially if you’ve got a ball in hand! He has great ball drive and fetch is easily his favorite sport.  Trooper loves to play with other dogs but benefits from slow introductions. Once he warms up, he’s a total goofball. We believe he could be cat workable with proper introductions and structure. He’s fully housebroken and thrives with a routine, clear guidance, and lots of love. Trooper takes his job as home guardian seriously — he can be a little protective when new people first come to the door. Once he sees that everything is safe and calm, it only takes him a few minutes to relax and make friends. With proper introductions and clear direction, Trooper quickly switches from cautious to cuddly! If you’re looking for a loyal, active companion who’s ready to be your adventure buddy, training partner, and best friend, Trooper is your guy. ##2356715##

Story
Bandit Bandit is a soft-hearted pup with a gentle soul. He loves to snuggle and would happily choose cozy indoor time over running laps any day. He’s very sensitive and will let you know if he gets a tiny “ouchie,” which only adds to his charm. Bandit is incredibly sweet, tender, and affectionate — the kind of dog who melts into you and makes you feel needed. Bandit is doing great with house manners. He is potty trained, knows how to use a doggie door, and has started learning basic commands like sit and stay. He is around cattle and chickens on a daily basis and has had some exposure to a cat, giving him valuable experience with other animals. ##2656094##
