Story

Theo is extremely smart and active. He really needs an owner that is experienced with the working line dog breeds. We did a DNA test on him and these two breeds were highest percentage. In training, he has done very well. Before the GSD came in his DNA test, we would describe his disposition as more Malinois. If you love that working line dog, he would excel in agility and scentwork. He loves to train and do drill work. Theo would do very well in a home with a confident female dog. He plays and follows the lead of a female dog in his training program. Seems to push back more with a male dog playmate. No cats at this time, but he is getting worked around cats to "leave it" . Any questions you have, please message us or fill out an application on our website www.promiserescue.org

Story

Meet Sage – A Gentle Soul Looking for His Person Sage is a beautiful German Shepherd puppy born in late April with a tender heart and a quiet spirit. While some puppies charge into the world without a second thought, Sage prefers to take his time, carefully observing new people and situations before deciding they're safe. Because of his sensitive nature, Sage is looking for a patient and understanding family that will let him move at his own pace. He thrives in calm, predictable environments and needs adopters who understand that confidence can't be rushed—it grows through trust, consistency, and kindness. A confident, social resident dog is required for Sage. Having a canine companion helps him feel secure, teaches him that the world isn't so scary, and encourages him to be brave. He looks to other dogs for guidance and gains confidence from their example every day. Once Sage feels comfortable, his sweet personality begins to shine. He is affectionate, loyal, and deeply devoted to the people he trusts. Watching him overcome his fears and celebrate new experiences is incredibly rewarding, and the bond you build with him will be one that feels truly special. Sage's ideal family will appreciate the small victories, celebrate his progress, and understand that some of the most meaningful relationships take time to grow. In return, Sage will offer unwavering loyalty, gentle companionship, and a lifetime of love. If you have a patient heart, a confident canine friend, and room in your home for a puppy who simply needs someone to believe in him, Sage may be the perfect addition to your family.

Story

Meet Barrett! Barrett is a handsome German Shepherd with an estimated date of birth of April 23, 2020, and weighs 82 pounds. This loyal, intelligent boy is fully housebroken and ready to find a forever family to call his own. Barrett is the perfect blend of active and affectionate. He enjoys long walks, exploring the outdoors, and spending time in a securely fenced yard where he can stretch his legs and take in the world around him. When the adventures are over, he's happy to relax and spend quality time with his favorite people. Barrett has done well with cats and has also been successful around other dogs. Because he can occasionally become a little mouthy when excited, he would do best in a home without small children. An experienced owner who appreciates the German Shepherd breed and can provide structure, consistency, and plenty of companionship would be an ideal match. If you're looking for a devoted companion, loyal adventure partner, and lifelong best friend, Barrett may be the perfect addition to your family. The adoption fee of $150 will include spay/neuter, microchip, age appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm and any other necessary medical treatment to assure a healthy new pup for your family. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Although we do our best to describe breed, since our pups all come from shelters we can not and will not make any guarantee on breed or size.

Story

We got Charlie from a family who didn’t have the time to take care of her. But what we didn’t realize is that soon enough, we won’t have time to take care of her either. We’re getting married soon and when we both have jobs, Charlie will be stuck in the house by herself all day and we don’t want that for her. She’s a really sweet dog who loves people and kids a lot. She’s 2 years old so she’s got a good bit of energy, which she uses to lick you to death. She’s currently not a huge fan of other dogs and she’ll bark at other dogs outside but she doesn’t really bark inside the house. She’s a bit of a beggar at the table, but we and her past owners have never given her any table scraps so even though she begs, she’s not used to getting anything. The biggest issue for us is her epilepsy, she’s on medication for it so she doesn’t seize often at all, but it’ll be stressful for us leaving her at home all day by herself when we both have jobs. We just want a good home for her, she deserves it!
