Story
Name: Atlas Age: 5 years Breed: German Shepherd Size: 64.2 pounds Special Needs: Heartworm positive Adoption Application: https://forms.gle/nuKXoMu6gjS5DhFm8 Contact: transport@hssm.org Atlas is a stunning 5-year-old German Shepherd with a noble presence and a heart just as strong as his name suggests. This handsome boy carries himself with confidence and intelligence, always observant of his surroundings and deeply devoted to his people. Atlas has reached a wonderful mature age where he balances calm loyalty with moments of playful fun. He thrives on companionship and would love a home that appreciates the classic German Shepherd traits — intelligence, loyalty, and a strong bond with his family. Atlas enjoys staying active, exploring, and having a purpose, whether that’s going for walks, learning new things, or simply being a steady, loving presence by your side. He does well with other dogs, he is playful but is not too rough. He is good about listening and will come when instructed. If you’re searching for a devoted companion who will stand by you through every chapter of life, Atlas is ready to be your loyal shadow and best friend. Atlas is heartworm positive, so he would need treatment so that he could live out the rest of his day happy and healthy. Atlas's $250 adoption fee includes spay/neuter, up to date vaccines, microchip AND transport fee to a location near you. We currently have transportation to CT, MD, NJ, NY, PA, VA, GA, and TN.

Sadly we are having to REHOME our sweet girl, due to the space and with a growing family, not being able to meet her attention needs, she has had one litter of 12 gorgeous healthy puppies, (on accident) she has bright orange eyes, and beautiful silky black color! She is a year and a half. She is an extremely sweet dog and loves everyone! Very protective over kids present, but not aggressive. We are so sad to have to rehome her, so good homes only!! She is a family dog for sure and loves to be around people.

Meet Buster – a sweet, not so graceful pup ! (Buster is currently living with his foster family in Texas, he will be transported through PFR when he is adopted) Buster is a handsome pup with a wonderfully laid-back personality. This sweet boy is a bit of a gentle goof—sometimes clumsy, always endearing—and he’s guaranteed to make you smile. He loves to wrestle and play with one of his brothers, but when it’s time to relax, Buster is happy to just hang out and soak up affection. Buster is currently working on his basic commands and is eager to learn with a patient, loving family. He, his momma, and siblings were left to fend for themselves on the streets of a small rural Texas town until a kind couple took them in and gave them safety and care. Now Buster is ready for a forever home where he can continue to grow, learn, and be loved. If you’re looking for a sweet, easygoing pup with a big heart and a silly side, Buster may be your perfect match.
