Story
Thor is a handsome 4-year-old German Shepherd who we adopted about a year and a half ago with the intention of fostering, training, and rehabilitating him so he could have the chance to find the perfect forever home. Since being with us, Thor has had training and has made so much progress. He used to be reactive toward other dogs, but he has improved tremendously. We believe he would do best in a home without other male dogs. He seems to do well with calm female dogs, although proper introductions would always be important. Thor absolutely loves kids. We have children ourselves, and he loves being around them and watching over them. He is naturally very alert, aware of his surroundings, and protective of his family, which makes him a wonderful watchdog and loyal companion. He would thrive in a home with a yard where he has room to exercise and enjoy being outside. We would especially love to find someone who has experience with German Shepherds and understands their intelligence.

Story
Kingston was adopted from us after being a bottle puppy. He was placed with his "forever" family at 12 weeks old, and now at 3 years finds himself back in rescue. Unfortunatly, Kingston was not given appropraite boundaries with the children in his home, and a bite did occur. Kingston was placed in a board and train to undergo a behavior evalutation and has been such a good boy. The trainer says that Kingston has been "nothing but sweet" witth him. He is house trained, crate trained, knows basic commands, and is eager to please his leader. Due to his bite history, Kingston cannot go to a home with children under 12, and a bite disclosure must be signed at adoption.  We realize a dog with any form of behavior is a risk, and a dog with a bite already reported can be scary. We are looking for the person willing to see Kingston for the good boy he is, and understand the situation he was placed in that caused the bite. He is not a bad dog, and he desperately needs someone to love and lead him through his life.      Thank you for wanting to adopt from Hank's Legacy Foundation.

Story
Update! RJ had his enucleation surgery and is so much happier. He’s even more playful and affectionate than he was before the surgery. He’s a really terrific boy who is lovable, brave, resilient and so smart!  RJ is a seven year old Dutch Shepherd mix. He was found wandering on the mean streets of South Los Angeles by himself, and taken to a high kill shelter. We pulled RJ out of the shelter to give him a chance at a good life. RJ has PRA (Progressive Retinal Atrophy) and cataracts and is blind. He doesn't let the lack of sight affect his quality of life, and is a happy guy who finds his way around just fine. This brave boy is only hesitant about one thing: traffic noises. RJ has a surgery coming up to remove both eyes because he has blown up a case of glaucoma in both eyes. He will be much happier, and pain free afterwards. He'll be available for adoption as soon as he is completely healed. He's a very affectionate boy who really doesn't ask for a lot, but he sure does like belly rubs and cuddle sessions. He enjoys every meal, and loves the raw bone-in treats that we give him every day. He's content to make himself comfortable on his big cushy bed, and will alert to sounds that he's not familiar with. We always announce ourselves when we greet RJ, and he always has a nose to the air - his other senses take over for his lack of sight. He knows every bush and tree on his walks, and likes going out for short adventures. He likes car rides, too. We guide him with our voices. We're searching for an owner that knows that sometimes dogs that aren't perfect CAN be perfect. RJ is always cheerful, gentle and doesn't know a bad day. He learns very fast when taught, too. He greets every day and person with a smile on his face. He's a really amazing spirit. If you would like to meet this remarkable boy, please complete an application for adoption: www.deafdogrescueofamerica.org/adoption-application.htmlNovember 3, 2024, 12:20 am
