Story
Red is a gorgeous 6-month-old male White Swiss Shepherd dog (Swiss Berger) puppy that weighs around 35 pounds of love and sweetness. He’s stunningly handsome, playful, loving, affectionate, loves everyone he meets, and has been great with the children he’s met at our adoption events. He’s also dog friendly with other friendly dogs, is crate trained, and is well-behaved in the home. Red would do great with an active family that will play fetch with him in the yard and that will exercise him regularly. He can be the only dog or best with a younger, bigger dog since he still plays rough. We encourage our puppy adopters to provide them with stability, structure, consistency, love, and puppy training to set them up for success. Red will be an amazing addition to any shepherd mix-loving family looking to add a gorgeous puppy to their family. Spot has received his puppy wellness exam, 3 rounds of puppy boosters, is microchipped, dewormed, and he’s packed and ready for exciting adventures with his forever family!!! If you're interested in adopting Spot, please fill out an application at www.doggiebonez.com. You can also check out our social media pages on Instagram (@Doggie_Bonez_Inc_) and Facebook (Doggie Bonez) to see more of Spot's cuteness. Our adoption fee for dogs, which includes vaccinations, fecal testing, wellness exams, microchipping, spaying, or neutering, is $500. If adoption isn't feasible, please consider fostering one of our pups. We are a volunteer-run non-profit dog rescue and always welcome new short or long-term doggie foster families. Doggie Bonez will provide you with everything you need, including dog food, a bed, toys, medical attention (if required), and more.

Meet Everest! He's a sweet, smart and playful White Shepherd mix a little over a year old! He’s a little shy at first but he warms up to new people quickly. He loves being around and getting attention from his people. He’s crate trained, knows sit, paw, down  and walks well on the leash. He is not good with cats and would do best in a home without any. He plays well with other dogs and would love a fur friend in his forever home. He also loves playing fetch and loves to run around, he would be a great running partner! When he’s not playing/running he enjoys napping on various types of beds around the house. He would also make a great guard dog. He would make a great addition to any active family and can’t wait to find his forever home. Interested in adopting this pet?

Story
Hello, my name is Scout! I am a 6-year-old, 55lbs, Female, German Shepard/Terrier Mix in need of a new home. I am an incredibly affectionate dog with an energetic personality. I have a strong curiosity about the world and love to play outside, but I also love to cuddle up to people on a couch when I am tired. I am looking for a home with a fenced in yard and no other pets or small children. I am quick to trust humans, and, once I feel comfortable, I will develop a strong sense of loyalty to my owners. My owners originally adopted me from the humane society in 2019 after I was brought in as a stray. I am spayed, house trained, microchipped, fully vaccinated, and in perfect health. I am a sweet and loving dog, but I am looking for the right owner who has more time to take me on walks, hike, and more. Scout can't wait to meet you!!Interested in adopting this pet?
