Story
Hi, I’m Marley! I’m a 3-month-old German Shepherd / Husky mix with a soft heart, a curious mind, and lots of growing to do. The world is still pretty new to me, so I am uneasy when meeting new people or dogs. I’m learning, though - every day I get a little braver with the help of calm voices, kind hands, and patient guidance. Once I feel safe, I become sweetly affectionate and very loyal to my people. I’m a smart, athletic puppy who enjoys playtime, quiet moments, and long, cozy naps. I’m working on crate and potty training, and I learn best when things are gentle, consistent, and treat-supported. I’m currently building confidence with my foster and a trainer, and having understanding humans makes all the difference for me. I’m sensitive and communicate clearly with my body language, so I’m looking for a family who will take things at my pace and respect my boundaries. With patience and compassion, I blossom into the sweetest cuddle buddy - full of kisses, snuggles, and devotion. I may need a little extra time, but I give a lot of love in return. If you’re patient, committed, and excited to help a sweet puppy grow into his confidence, I’d love to be your boy. ##2653835##

Meet Axel, a spirited 5-year-old Lab/Shepherd/Aussie mix with a zest for life and a heart full of love. Axel is an active and playful dog who thrives on companionship with other dogs, so having a furry friend around would be perfect for him. While Axel is dog-friendly, he can be a bit nervous around new people and prefers not to make direct eye contact. To ensure everyone's safety, he should wear a muzzle when meeting new folks. With the right approach and time, Axel reveals his affectionate and playful side, becoming a loyal and protective companion. Axel needs a dedicated and experienced dog owner who can provide firm training and a bit of extra care. He was rescued just an hour before his scheduled euthanasia and is eager to find a loving, active home where he can truly shine.

Story
Meet Maple  Maple’s story begins with quiet bravery. At just about a year or two old herself, this young rez dog was doing everything she could to protect her nine tiny puppies while living on the streets. When she discovered an abandoned dog house on a nearby property, she seized the little bit of shelter it offered. One by one, she carried each puppy into the rugged, makeshift structure , determined to give them whatever safety she could from the cold, windy weather outside . It wasn’t much — but to Maple, it was hope. When we learned about her situation, we organized a rescue crew and drove out to bring Maple and her babies to safety . She greeted us with a mix of exhaustion and relief, trusting us enough to let us help her family. Now warm, safe, and cared for, Maple is thriving. She’s doing a marvelous job raising her puppies , showing the kind of devotion and gentleness that makes her truly special. Our best guess on Maple's breed is Belgian Malinois/Shepherd and since she is a rez dog, probably many other breeds. Malinois and Shepherds are a working breeds and do best with an experienced owner.. Here are some of the things to consider. They are highly intelligent..Once they put their mind to it, they can excel at almost anything they do; they will even try outsmarting you sometimes. They need a strong and confident owner who knows how to be a pack leader; otherwise, they will dominate the household.Given their intelligence and eagerness to please their owners, Shepherds and Malinois are relatively easy to train. They can generally learn a new command within 5–15 repetitions. The Belgian Malinois makes an incredible watchdog and they won’t hesitate to alert you when they spot a stranger. Like most dogs, they thrive off routine and consistency and having a job to do. There are many activities you can do to provide appropriate physical and mental stimulation. Regular walks and hikes, nose work, fetch games, and canine sports will provide what they need and are vital to their happiness. Maple is devoted to her people but it takes some time for her to warm up to new people and dogs. She will require an experienced and patient adopter. If you would like to adopt please apply at https://www.circle2rescue.com/dog-adoption-application/  The adoption fee of $250 includes the spay/neuter, vaccinations, deworming and microchip.   ##2612793##
