Story

Alright you caught me fair and square, I am the guy from Florida that used to be....a silly adventurous Shepherd boy! I am still that same guy. I found myself migrating north to a cooler climate in search of broader horizons. I am a boy of travel, wonder, excitement. I am also a boy that can relax, spend time with a lovely person, enjoys going for walks, enjoys playing with a ball or 2. I have spent the last year living in a kennel. The most generous and kind people have allowed me to stay here in the safety of this place while I find a home to call my own. Here I have learned how to behave, walk nicely on a leash and how to stay patient. I get out a bunch but I long for home. I enjoy being around people. I am a strong dog and probably would push over some smaller humans but I enjoy everyones company. I prefer a home where I am the only pet. I havent had too many interactions with other animals but I feel very happy being independent. My manners are pretty good and I can stay focused on my human, even when other dogs try to distract me. I would love more than anything else in this world, to just be your very best friend. I promise I will crate at night, Ill potty only outside and Ill be a loyal true bud.

This is Steve-O. He came in with his brother, his brother has been adopted. He can be shy at first, but warms up after a bit. He is about 2 years old, and 53 lbs. He walks well on leash, and well behaved. He`s very much a dog that wants his person. He will most likely need some help with potty training.

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Hi, I'm Blue. I'm 4½ years old, and I never imagined I'd be looking for a new family. My family loves me with all their hearts. Because of circumstances completely beyond their control, they have to let me go. They are absolutely heartbroken, and honestly... I am too. This isn't what any of us wanted. They just want to make sure I'm safe, loved, and happy, even if it can't be with them. I'm a big boy—92 pounds of love—but don't let my size fool you. I'm really just a gentle giant who wants to be close to my people. One of my favorite things is curling up beside you at night for snuggles. I also love blueberries, bananas, Milk-Bone treats, and a good game of fetch. I'm neutered, healthy, up to date on my vaccines, crate trained (although lately I feel better if the crate door stays open, I have some separation anxiety), potty trained, and I walk well on a leash. I'm a smart guy and already know how to be a good house dog. I get along with other dogs, although I can be selective, so slow introductions are best. Lately I've been feeling a little anxious. My whole world has changed, and I don't understand why. I'm trying my best, but I just want to know that I'm safe and that someone isn't going to leave me behind again. I may be about 40% German Shepherd and 40% American Bully, but I'm 100% loyal to the people I love. Right now, I need a miracle. I need a foster home or, even better, a forever family willing to give me the stability, patience, and love I deserve. Every day that passes is another day my family worries about what will happen to me. I don't want to lose hope... I'm just waiting for someone to choose me. Could you be the person who gives me my happy ending? Love, Blue Foster Needed. Forever Home Needed.

Story

Meet Kysarah! This beautiful approx. 3-year-old German Shepherd is the definition of calm confidence. Completely house trained, crate trained, and wonderfully respectful in the home, Kysarah is the kind of companion who settles in at your feet while you work, happily naps on the floor, and is perfectly content whether you`re home or away. She knows commands like `come` and `no,` is incredibly eager to please, and with her sharp Shepherd mind, she`s ready to learn whatever you`d like to teach her next.Kysarah`s favorite place is outside, whether she`s stretching her legs on a walk or relaxing in the shade beside her favorite people. She gets along well with other dogs and has been living peacefully with two small canine foster siblings. After slow introductions is also best friends with the other German shepherd in the house. Kysarah isn`t interested in being friends with the kittie, so is looking for a cat free home.While she`s still settling into her new surroundings and hasn`t discovered the joy of toys just yet, she`s already shown what a loyal, loving companion she is. If you`re looking for a sweet, steady best friend who will reward your love with endless devotion, Kysarah may just be the perfect package.Interested in meeting this dog? Fill out an application to find out how to meet this dog.We love our dogs. We want happy lives for all of them and are looking for the home that provides the best fit for each dogs` individual needs. Please understand that there may be multiple families interested in this dog. Also, please know that the breed mix listed is simply a guess. In most cases, we don`t know their background. We encourage you to base your decision on individual personality and pet qualities instead of relying on our guess. Please understand, we only adopt our animals out near the Chicagoland area.

Story

Please contact Echo Dogs (adoptions@echodogs.org) for more information about this pet.Male • 5 Years • 66 lbs. • Microchipped • Neutered • FLBIO Hello! My name is Rocky. I am house trained and crate trained. You do not need to crate me when you cannot supervise me. I am a mature guy and not destructive. I love getting attention from everyone I meet. I am quiet when strangers come to visit and warm up quickly when we are properly introduced. I enjoy being close to my family. I sure do love those butt scratches.I have met a lot of other dogs and I am friendly. I do get very excited; we are working on my manners when greeting other dogs. I love going for walks, especially when I can sniff around. I do pull a bit when I see other dogs because I am so excited. I live with cats here at my foster home. I usually ignore them. I don’t chase them. I just don’t like it when they try to steal foster mom away. I really like soft toys, but they don’t stand a chance. I like to play fetch with balls and squeaky toys. I even put all my toys away in my crate. I know lots of commands. I like to show off when you ask me to do them. Foster mom says I am incredibly smart and a quick learner.I would love to find a home with a family that has a yard and maybe a resident dog that likes to play. I could be an only dog, if you are home more often than not and can provide the activities and training to continue to help me become the best dog I can be. Follow me on Facebook: #EchoDogRocky2026 For more information, please contact adoptions@echodogs.org. Echo Dogs fosters dogs in many states. Visit www.echodogs.org/available-dogs to see more of our dogs. Transportation for the adopted dog IS available. Remember, we are an all-volunteer foster rescue organization - we DO NOT have a physical shelter to visit. Our minimum adoption donation is $350.
