Story
Looking for someone who is experienced with either the German Shepherd or Husky breed, as this dog is intelligent. He would thrive in a place where he has plenty of yard to explore, as he loves the outdoors. He is very attentive, smart, and curious. He has been raised all his life with other dogs in the home so he is capable of joining a pack. Attention and a lot of love is required!!

Story
Meet Novak, this handsome boy is a 69 lb. German shepherd mix breed who adores everyone he meets. He is ready and eager to meet the family of his dreams and find the perfect home. We know that the family that takes Novak home will have wonderful memories to share with family and friends. At 6 and a half years old, Novak has matured, and values love and the people who are willing to offer it unconditionally to him. We do not know what his past was like, but we do know that he has a bright future. He stands tall on his three legs and carries on like any other dog with his physical abilities. He expressed a disinterest to the feline persuasion so a home without a cat will be ideal for Novak. However, he does well with other dogs and children and will welcome their company. He walks well on a leash and is house trained. Crate training will need more time to master but Novak will be giving one hundred percent to be a success. He is a napper by nature so he would be content to curl up on the sofa and snooze away. He does not spend all his time catching sleep because he does enjoy going for walks as well. He walks like a dream on the leash and all eyes are sure to be on him. His sweet and endearing personality will seal the deal in making new friends.Are you ready to write a happy ending for this amazing dog with all the love that you can give him? Read on to get the ball rolling.The adoption fee for Novak is $500. That includes the cost of spaying/neutering, up to date vaccinations, foster care, rescue and transportation fees. To get the ball rolling, head over to our Adoption Application and submit your application today. A Dog Star representative will contact you within 24 hours. To speed up the process, contact your vet and give them permission to speak with us.If you do not get a response within 24 hours, check your spam folder.April 26, 2024, 7:50 am

Story
Welcome Ruby to CCPAL Rescue Foster Program. Ruby is a 13-month old German Shepherd Dog. We are guessing she will be 60 pounds full grown. She is either a high mix or pure GSD. She was dumped at our Vet Office and our Vet is fostering her and vetting her. She is potty trained and good on a leash. She is crate trained and likes to ride in the car. She is healthy, vaccinated and on the schedule to be spayed. We would love a previous GSD owner. Young GSDs are energetic and will need mental and physical stimulation to be happy. GSD dogs are typically good with children. She has been around one child at the vet office and numerous people. She has done great with all the above. She is timid in new surroundings but the Vet is doing a great job with her. She bonds deeply and really loves her foster dad. She would be great with a young person or family that is active and looking for an active companion. She is good in a crate, good in a car and very smart. She has some slope on her back but not too much with means she will have less trouble with her hips in the future over the more sloped backs. She is currently in Texas and can be adopted locally or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get her to Washington, Portland, Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. Her adoption fee is 400 and transport is 200. Contact Marlene at 210-867-1769 or email ccpalinquiries@gmail.com if you have questions. Online applications at www.ccpal.info/ See her cute video!!

Story
Hero is a three old German shepherd. He is house trained, baby gate trained and crate trained. He does great with kids and other dogs. He is very human centric, he really doesn’t pay much attention to his foster siblings. His first mom said he and the cat did not get along great and he would get vocal when the cat got near his bowl which is understandable.  So now he is fed in his crate. He happily and politely lines up for snacks with his foster sibs with no problems. He loves playing fetch and loves his ball. He is a typical German Shepherd with lots of energy and he wants a lot of attention. He is very gentle with his mouth, he plays gentle and takes treats gentle. Overall, he is an excellent dog would love to be part of your home!  Hero is neutered, current on all his shots and microchipped.  To be considered for Hero's forever family and to request an application please contact Vivienne at viviennejames@comcast.net.  MUST HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH GERMAN SHEPHERDS.  APPROVED APPLICATION AND ADOPTION REQUIRED.  (Hero is currently in Tennessee and can be transported north upon adoption.)April 23, 2024, 4:30 pm
