Chunks

German Shepherd Dog

Female, Young
Bloomington, IL
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Chunks is about a year and a half old and weighs approximately 30-40 pounds. She appears to be a medium-sized German shepherd mix with a big personality and a even bigger heart. I originally met Chunks while dog sitting her, what was supposed to be a one-week stay turned into about a year. Chunks is full of energy and always ready to play. She loves being outside, running around and exploring the yard. One of her funny little habits is sitting on top of outdoor tables, likely so she can see over the fence a bit better. She thrives on routine, positive attention and yummy treats.

Milo

German Shepherd Dog Staffordshire Bull Terrier

Male, Adult
Bloomington, IL
Size

Details
Good with dogs, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Meet Milo, a sweet, energetic, and endlessly loving German Shepherd/Bull Terrier mix who still hasn't gotten the memo that he's no longer a puppy. Born around November 2020, Milo came into our lives in January 2021 through a family friend whose hands became wonderfully full after welcoming newborn twins. We said yes without a second thought and we've never regretted it. Milo is genuinely one of a kind! He's the kind of dog who loves hard, plays harder, and has more than enough affection to fill a home. What Milo needs now is space, room to run, stretch his legs, and truly come into his own. Apartment living has made it clear that this boy has bigger dreams than city walls can hold. Like many sensitive souls, Milo has developed a little anxiety around unfamiliar noises — loud bangs or sudden thuds will send him retreating to his favorite quiet corner. He's not a barker; he's just a dog who appreciates peace. With the right environment and patient, loving people, we believe he'll thrive.

Story
Hi! My name is Lola! I am 3 years old and weigh 75 pounds. My mom is a lab mix and my dad is a german shepherd. I am fully potty trained and crate trained, I like my crate and sometimes just go in there and lay down. I am timid at first and may bark my deep bark until I get to know you.  I enjoy playing with the other dogs in my foster home and even let them take my toys away from me. I go to doggy daycare twice a week and have so much fun. I was so loved and spoiled in my previous home. We had to move to a smaller house with a cat and it was determined that I am not good with cats. I would be a devoted buddy to a loving family (without a cat). Lola's adoption fee is $300 which cover her spay, microchip, vaccines and flea & heartworm prevention. You can apply at gfrpets.org/apply/adoptdog/ ##1462883##
