Story
Meet Cuddi! This special guy is big and beautiful... just look at those beautiful amber eyes! Energetic and in need of some obedience training, Cuddi has some fairly specific asks for his forever home. He tends to be a pretty anxious guy and is not a fan of other dogs, so needs a family committed to slow introductions and respecting his boundaries. In his previous home, Cuddi worked with a trainer for his anxiety and would probably very much enjoy doing that again! Think you could give this very special guy the soft, loving, accepting, structured home he needs? Come meet Cuddi today!

Story
Meet Kingston! This big, handsome gentleman came to our shelter as a puppy and was adopted, but has now made his way back into our care. Kingston still acts like a puppy, he's just bigger now! This genius knows lots of tricks like sit, stay, lay down, come. If you get the chance to meet him, ask him to show off a little bit! Although he's got his tricks down, Kingston could still use some training on basic manners. He loves people so much that his excitement can overtake him a bit and result in some jumping, so he just needs to learn how to contain himself a bit! Kingston is noted to be a big teddy bear of a dog and loves any attention he can get, especially belly rubs! He's also a big foodie, but please don't try to take his food, he's not big into sharing. Kingston has lived with older kids and a cat before and may do well in a home with kids/cats again, but would require slow intros to ensure things go well. This active boy is an athlete as well as a brainiac, so he'll need plenty of mental and physical enrichment in whatever home he ends up in. If Kingston sounds like a good fit for you, take him home today!

Story
In need of a loving and very experienced home for my 6 year old dog. She recently did try to nip at the baby and our time and space is no longer suitable for Luna. We want her to have the best life and being around kids is just not something she enjoys. Keeping her separated from us is sad and she deserves better than that. Teenagers are fine but she does not like small kids. She is off leash trained and is a really great outdoor companion if that’s something you’re looking for. She definitely is not a “ dog park dog” she prefers to be without other dogs and just enjoys fetch on her own- please take that into consideration. She needs structure and time outdoors even though she’s getting older- still has a young spirit. It is a plus if you’ve trained previous dogs or are willing to train with her. Please consider if you have an apartment - German shepherds are often on the breed restriction list. Will highly consider someone who has a yard.
