Story
We have had Theo since 2022 when he was 6 weeks old. He is a German Shepard pit bull mix. He’s house/crate trained. We cannot keep him due to his shedding/allergens. He’s friendly with children and has never bit anyone. He’s a big dog with a lot of energy so he sometimes pulls on walks and jumps on you when excited. He really is a sweet dog and enjoys spending time with the family. Comes with a large crate

German Shepherd Dog

Gridley, IL
Size
(when grown) X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more
Details
Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter,
Story
Bo is a beautiful purebred German Shepherd. My father took in him into our house after he was given to my sister by her coworker. I do not know very much about the coworker but they bought him from a breeder. At the time they were leaving to go out of state and for some reason couldnt take him.Unfortunately I am young myself and have a dog of my own and struggle to find the time to take care of them myself. (My father has just recently been wheelchair bound) I have the documentation from his breeder. Also he is unfixed but if that is a problem I'm in a position to pay for that prior to adoption. Bo is a very friendly and carefree dog, and will get along with others nicely. However he has been very reactive with cats/small creatures. I was told this is a chase drive and could potentially be trained out of him. He reacts very well to a shock/noise/vibrate collar. But, I do not have the time, experience or funds for training. Right now he deserves better than I can give him.

Story
I got Maeve when she was 8 weeks old from a farm in North Carolina. She is two and a half years old now and I'm looking to rehome her with a family that has lots of space for her to run around and play in. I live in an apartment right now with two cats and she does not get along well with them. She is not aggressive towards them, but she likes to chase them around and this has been a chronic issue with her. I want her to have space to roam and play when she wants to and having other dogs for her to play with would be even better. I am only willing to give her to someone that will love her and provide her with the care and freedom she needs. She is very sweet with people and listens well to all of the commands I've taught her. She is up to date on all of her vaccines, flea, tick, and heartworm prevention.
