Our girl is quite special in many ways one of which is that she is a majorca shepherd often referred to as a Spanish shepherd. Felicia is very striking in appearance with medium long silver and black hair, curly tail, piercing eyes, strong stout body and powerful grace. We have found our girl to be very friendly, good with other dogs, good with kids, playful and happy. Our rescue is very pleased with how Felicia has developed since her rescue from a horrible situation that involved hoarding (17) dogs, isolation, malnourishment and physical abuse. This girl has never looked back and has embraced her new life with grace, zeal and conviction, like I said she is special! Felicia is 21/2 to 3 years old, 75 to 85 pounds, has great symmetry, perfect gait and defines poise. Make no mistake, this lady is a Velcro dog, she will be your shadow, your travel companion, your best friend and your protector. As is the case with almost all shepherds Felicia has strong sense of protection that is easily controlled. One of main things that will stand out with our lady is her very deep dedication to her person, she really wants nothing else out of life other than her special companion. If you have an environment of love and commitment that you are willing to share, MS Felisha will fill your life with unquestionable loyalty,

BIO ***CLASSIC BLACK AND TAN COAT *** SPAYED*** CHIPPED*** FULLY VETTED *** GREAT WITH PEOPLE OF ALL AGES *** GREAT WITH OTHER DOGS *** LEASH, HOUSE AND BASIC COMMAND TRAINED Our German shepherd rescue group is ready to present to the one and only MS Dancer! This girl is everything that you could possibly expect an 8-month-old, gorgeous, gregarious, loving, wide open and scary smart German shepherd to be. Dancer loves anything fun - chasing and playing with the other dogs, toys (as long as you are attached), people of all ages were put here for her pleasure, cuddling with said tired people and manipulating said people. All kidding aside this lady is a trainer's dream, super smart, focused, loves to please, highly desires simulation and is totally committed to success. Make no mistake this girl still has a lot of puppy in her that will need to be challenged and directed but her human desire and super loving nature will get anyone through the tough spots. Dancer has performed very well in all of our socialization and training programs, as you might expect she knocked it out of the ball park. During this training our girl reflected social skills and intellect way above her age group. As the trainer for this wonderful creature, I can without reservation, tell you that she is a developing super star. Dancer will probably top out in the 75-85 pound range, will reflect incredible poise, mature into perfect symmetry and will be a perfect representation of the breed. MS Dancer has a gorgeous classic medium length black and tan coat that fits her personality perfect. Our girl will require a loving family home environment that can follow through with training, adequate exercise and dedication.

We call this guy a, with tongue in cheek, our Irish shepherd. Red will melt anyone on first meeting with his happy face, hilarious antics, love sponge attitude and his wide-open approach to life. Our boy had a rough start but has quickly pushed that aside, opting instead to embrace life with gusto and love. As the trainer for Red, I can tell you without hesitation that he moves, trains and carries himself like a very well-bred German shepherd. Red has been tested with children, other dogs and adult humans, he loves them all. Our boy is blessed with great symmetry, perfect stride and a super handsome all Red coat. As far as extra strong positive characteristics, Red runs like the wind, has instant command recall and is always ready to love on someone. We put all of our dogs through socialization and training programs and as you might expect Red knocked it out of the ballpark. Key results of these programs for Red is that he excelled, with a strong desire to please, strong desire to train, super interaction skills with both humans and other dogs, great demeanor and a strong but in control protective instinct. Red has it all and will fit in famously with a loving family that has the time to continue his training and the time to give him proper exercise.

Our girl has shown a passion for overcoming the issue of her poor handling in the past, instead of retreating from life our girl has embraced the task moving on and loving life. Ms. Justice gets along with other dogs very well, enjoys the company of humans of all sizes and is basically a love sponge. Justice came to us with two other German shepherds, one of which is her sister, the other is a male Dutch shepherd. The reason for explaining this is to ensure there is no apprehension associated with possibility of a bonded pair issue, these dogs have no issues. This young lady is extremely intelligent, very open to training, strongly desires human bonding, loves playtime and totally relishes her alone time with her person. We put all of our wards through an extensive program of socialization and training; Ms. Justice handled the process with ease. At this point we have seen nothing that would predict a problem with children, to the contrary our girl has shown an openness and maturity that should bode well for any child contact. As the trainer for this girl, I can tell you that if she has any limits, she has made the decision to keep them to herself, she is quite special! The perfect situation for Justice would be a loving family environment that would provide her with the exercise, continued training, personal time and devotion that she so very much craves.

BIO ***SABLE, THICK, MID LENGTH COAT ***SPAYED***CHIPPED***FULLY VETTED ***GREAT WITH ADULTS AND CHILDREN ***GREAT WITH OTHER DOGS ***LEASH, HOUSE AND BASIC COMMAND TRAINED We are pleased to announce for adoption the beautiful and elegant MS Shannon, a German shepherd female of about 16 months. Our girl, though quite young, has the looks, poise and grace of a superstar. This young lady has it all going for her, age, looks, symmetry, definition, smarts, social ability, desire to train and of course the desire to please. Shannon handles herself confidently around other dogs, playing well, accepting others and being a total love sponge! Bring it on, our girl loves kids, adults, cuddling, playing and given the chance, lounging in your lap or at your feet. We, at the rescue, have all been pleasantly surprised by the maturity, intellect and drive to please by such a young shepherd. Shannon handled our socialization and training programs with ease, reflecting a deep desire to train, a very strong desire to bond, a highly predictable nature and an off the charts intelligence. Our girl will probably end up being in the upper sixties to lower seventies in weight and should have a thick, mid length, coat that will be defined as a silver (sable) shepherd, for a loving family or a dedicated individual this girl
