CAMILA

German Shepherd Dog Belgian Malinois

Female, 8 yrs 1 mo
Aurora, IL
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Camila is a socially awkward, sweet-as-can-be Belgian Malinois mix who approaches new people the way a rookie detective approaches a mysterious file—cautiously, thoughtfully, and with a little bit of side-eye. Once she warms up, though, she reveals her true self: a playful, goofy explorer who loves spending time outside and investigating every leaf, breeze, and suspicious-looking squirrel. Camila was turned in when her previous property no longer allowed her, but she’s using this twist in the case to search for a patient owner who understands working breeds and can give her the “job” she craves—whether that’s learning new skills, going on structured adventures, or becoming your personal backyard analyst. She may be shy at first, but once she trusts you, she’ll reward you with devotion, curiosity, and a charm that’s wonderfully one-of-a-kind. If you’re ready to team up with a quirky partner who’s eager to learn and excited to explore, Camila is ready to clock in.Dogs: Maybe! I am a bit awkward. Any dog friends will need to be patient as I learn.Cats: UnknownKids: Older, dog savvy kids only.

German Shepherd Dog

Size

Details
Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Princess is an approximately 3 year old spayed female shepherd mix that desperately needs a home. Her owner was unable to continue to feed her, and a neighbor stepped up to help care for Princess but they are not able to care for her long-term. Princess is good with other dogs, and after having multiple litters of puppies before getting spayed, she is very maternal. She is friendly with strangers but will let you know when they come into the yard! Princess appears to be house-trained and is non-destructive when she comes inside the house at night to sleep. Once she knows where “home” is, she is not one to wander and sticks close to where her people are. Princess is fully vaccinated but is unfortunately heartworm positive.

Story
Carrots is an owner give up to our rescue. Below is the information her owner gave us initially. I have had Carrots for almost two years now. She has been the most amazing friend I could have asked for. She rarely barks and only lets out an occasional whine if she needs to go out or is wanting some attention. She’s a well behaved for a dog that lives her life with me in a small dorm and can only go out to play fetch or go for a walk when I’m not at class or work. She needs better. In general, she has been amazing for the hand she’s been dealt. I actually couldn’t be more grateful for how well she’s treated me as she’s grown to be near a full two years old!! I am having to part with her because she is still a puppy, and I’m a Junior in college struggling to work and commute on weekends when I have to, and give her the attention she deserves. She’s trained well. She sits on command, she can stay if you ask, she’s house trained, and she’s comfortable with her kennel if needed. She uses a harness for walks and does great. She was trained to walk on the left of you and she’s usually pretty good about staying focused. She has started the process of being an ESA certified dog but has not rec'd her second certification. Her previous owner said that she was around a child once and growled so we do not recommend her with small children. She has never been around cats so we cannot say whether she will or will not be okay arounds feline friends. She would make a great family member for an active family. If you would like to add Carrots to your home, please message us and we will send you an application. Carrots is being fostered in MS but included in your adoption fee is transport to a location near you by Rescue Riders Pet Transport, the most animal friendly transport on the road! The adoption fee includes her medical for a health certificate and transport to you. We look forward to hearing from you soon!

Story
June is your classic “stubborn-but-soft-hearted adventurer,” the kind of German Shepherd who pretends he’s the boss but melts the second someone offers scratches or outdoor time. Turned in when his family had to move, he’s now looking for his next crew—preferably one who appreciates a dog with big opinions and an even bigger heart. June loves exploring like it’s his full-time job, goofing around with his buddies, and showing off his very sweet side whenever he thinks no one is watching. If you’re ready for a loyal, goofy companion who brings both brains and harmless mischief to the table, June is waiting to clock in for his next grand expedition.Dogs: Maybe! I have played with them here.Cats: UnknownKids: Unknown
