Seneca and Peeta were found abandoned at a church parking lot in North Carolina, dumped by whoever owned them and apparently smart enough to seek sanctuary. They learned to team up. Peeta seems to be the younger guy and smaller at about 60 pounds. He is not yet neutered and is very shy but confident around his big buddy Seneca who is a little over a year old. Seneca is about 80 pounds and the very best friend a dog could have. He knows some commands. We are getting to know them, but they need training. They need food and love too!! Are you the one to help? They are not yow neutered. They are both adjusting to leash walking and doing well with people and other dogs.Peeta is younger probably just a year and very sweet.

Story
River is a 2 year old female who LOVES fetch. We had to pry toys from her to get pictures without her face covered in a squeaky toy. She generally likes dogs but is attached to her current playmate so needs easy introsand will wrestle all the time if allowed. She is a good energy level outside being fairly active and inside normal. She is crate trained and very smart, learning quickly. She knows basic commands. We think she is part Malinois because of her coloring but we do not DNA test. She would be an excellent family dog and would love to run with you or sleep on the sofa after you are done. Please email tristateshepherdrescue@gmail.com for an application.

Story
Anka is a 2-3 yo female gsd. Anka had been a stray so needs some skills. She was treated for HW and is cleared. she is a gorgeous girl who loves exercise and fetch. We have been working on her skills with men but does very well with women. Did I mention: She LOVES fetch. She knows basic commands. She is the girl who will hear (with those ears) the Amazon guy or someone parking out front you cannot see. SHe is after all a German Shepherd. She is utd on shots and healthy. SHe gets along with some dogs but mostly those after a slow intro. RIght now she is friends with her 115 pound gsd housemate. We would recommend no children because she jumps and without exervcise can be jumpy.

Size

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Maggie is a petite Shepherd Girl. She is about 1-2 yo, about 45-50 pounds and had been in foster with a family with several children and two smaller dogs. She recently changed fosters. Maggie is the sweetest dog. She is good on leash. She is calm, gentle and quiet. She might be shy at first but warms up with a wag and sitting on your lap. She will be your little shadow. Her foster has not really heard her bark much in her day-to-day activities. She is a medium to low energy level. She is spayed and utd on shots. She is dog friendly and loves her new foster brother but had a stressful experience with hyper dogs not liking her (not her fault. Properly introoduced and she does great!)). She had originally been pulled from a kill shelter, then lived a while awaiting rescue (who forgot her) with about 40 dogs and got along with everyone. She needs patient introductions and loves all attention. She is crate trained and would prefer to stick with her toys. She is an absolute joy and would make a great family dog or person’s companion. She really wants her person.
