Story
Good afternoon. Kaptin is an amazing additional protector for our family, so this one makes it a tough one. Was promoted and moving across the country. The home is in the city and can’t have big dogs in the company homes. Kaptin is one of the best. Any stranger would be impressed. He is 3 years old in March. Loves cats, small of big dogs. Kaptin will tend to any young animal as he is a protector. He has never bit anyone. However he has been trained. Any family member in distress he will protect. If any questions, please let me know me know.

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##

Story
Randy is 84 lbs and approximately 3 years old and has the playfulness of a puppy. We think he is a mix of a livestock guardian dog such as Anatolian Shepherd or Great Pyrenees. He is a big cuddler and loves being around people. He also loves winter and the cold! Randy is good with other dogs and cats. Randy is a tall dog, don’t let the weight fool you. His head can comfortably rest on the table and reach countertops. He is lean and will need to stay that way for his long term hip health. He is potty trained, but not crate trained and will try to breakout or destroy crates when left alone, however he does well when left alone inside for extended times with other dogs. We recommend a home with other dogs because he does show some signs of anxiety when his people are gone. He has not had many destructive moments, he is a big chewer so having toys like benebones is a must. *Randy will be having surgery the last week of January and will need some recovery time--but feel free to still put an adoption application in!

Story
Hello, Miller is almost three (turns three on saint patricks day) he is a great dog but needs someone who is dedicated to working with him. He is very smart and learns quickly, he would do best with someone who has a big yard or a very active lifestyle he can be a part of. He loves kids and is good with most other dogs. He is a goofy but very good boy. He has been to training, has a great recall, knows sit, lay down, spin and is crate trained. He is very loved, but we both work full time and are away from home to often to give him the exercise and love he deserves. He will come with his collar, leash, and food bowls; he is microchipped as well.

Story
This is Cleo, a 9-month-old, 35-pound bundle of joy that is completely devoted to her humans. Affectionate, loyal, and happiest when she’s right by your side, Cleo takes cuddle time very seriously and never misses a chance to join in. Cleo can be a bit choosy about her canine friends and prefers slow, careful introductions, or to be the only dog in the home where she can soak up all the attention. She’s also not a good match for a home with cats. Around her people, though, Cleo is loving and attentive and proud to call them her own. Potty training is going wonderfully, and she’s almost there! Cleo is also working on her manners, including polite greetings (no jumping!), leash skills, and fine-tuning her “sit.” She’s smart, highly treat-motivated, and eager to learn, making training both fun and rewarding. With her big heart, quick mind, and devotion to her people, Cleo is ready to bring endless love and joy to her forever home. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will be your biggest fan, Cleo just might be the perfect match. (Born April 2025)
