Story
We don't know Lucy's backstory but we found her wandering the street and when we called her over she came right to us with joy and kisses. She's very cuddly and energetic and eager to find her forever home. She's extremely smart and picked up new commands within just a few hours of casual training. Lucy would thrive in a home where she can get outside and play often and develop a strong, cuddly bond with the family.

Story
Nova is a young, beautiful female German Shepherd mix looking for a loving forever home. She is intelligent, affectionate, friendly, and very people-oriented. She loves attention, long walks, playtime, exploring outdoors and, of course, lots of cuddles.She already knows some basic commands and is eager to learn. She enjoys being active just as much as relaxing and spending quality time with her humans.❤️Nova is active and energetic, so she needs regular exercise, mental stimulation, and continued training. She can get overly excited when meeting people and may jump up, so an experienced owner who can provide consistency, patience, and structure would be ideal.I'm looking for a responsible home, preferably with previous German Shepherd or large-breed experience. A house with a securely fenced backyard would be a big plus.Nova is already spayed. My priority is finding her a loving, stable, and permanent home where she can thrive ❤️

Hey everyone! Meet Toretto, an amazing 1-year and 7-month-old German Shepherd/Hound mix who’s looking for his forever home! Toretto is fully house trained, crate trained, neutered, and honestly just the kindest most affectionate guy. He’s a total social butterfly and gets along great with kids, cats, and other dogs, so he’ll fit right into just about any family. When he’s done playing, he loves nothing more than cuddling up and hanging out with his humans.Since he’s still young and a high-energy mix, Toretto is super playful and would make the ultimate buddy for anyone who loves being active. He’d thrive in a home where he can run around, go on long walks, play fetch, and burn off some energy before settling down for a good nap. If you think Toretto could be your new best friend or if you know someone who might be a great fit please send me a direct message! Also, sharing this post would mean the world to help him find the loving home he deserves.

Baobao is an 11-month-old German Shepherd mix with a sweet personality and a bright, curious mind. She already knows how to sit and give her paw, and she loves spending time outdoors. She’s still young and would thrive with a family who can give her plenty of exercise, attention, and patient, consistent training. I’m looking for a loving home where Baobao can continue to learn, explore, and be a cherished part of the family.

Story
Judy is spayed and fully healthy! She is up to date on vaccines. She is also microchipped! Judy is living in a foster home. Fill out our quick adoption survey, and then we can set up a phone call or meet and greet with the foster! 💧: Reliably potty trained and lets you know when they need to go outside. 🚶: Will benefit from continued training. Tends to bark/pull/jump on leash towards other dogs and/or people and will benefit from a calm neighborhood and experienced handler, or a backyard. 🐶: Gets along with other dogs and may enjoy having a canine companion. She has done well with respectful dog pals! 😺: Judy has not interacted with cats while in our care but is likely not a match due to prey drive towards critters. 🧒 Adults-Only Home Preferred: Feels most comfortable in a home without children. Judy is the ultimate lover girl! She is so affectionate and sweet, following her person around, being near them at all times, and even giving “hugs”. She’s got bouncy goblin ears that are full of personality and the most boopable snoot. She’s so playful and goofy, often entertaining herself with toys, especially stuffed ones, (but ultimately prefers to play with you, especially fetch). She also likes using her brain to do enrichment tasks and learning new things. She’s a one-of-a-kind lady who needs a little extra attention, but she’s so worth it! Judy has mild hip dysplasia and has been taking joint supplements and anti-inflammatory meds while in our care. Her adopter and their private vet should monitor/manage this going forward. 🧬 Judy has been DNA tested for fun! Rudy’s genetic makeup includes: German Shepherd Dog (59.1%), Supermutt (19.2%), Rottweiler (11.7%), and Doberman Pinscher (10%). 💰 Judy’s adoption fee has been sponsored by a generous supporter! 🩷 Next steps: Email adopt@onetail.org with questions, or submit an application online and we'll be in touch to schedule a meeting: https://www.onetail.org/apply-to-adopt/. Our adoption application stays on file for one year and can apply to any dog in our program. Once the app is submitted you will receive an email within 48-72 hours.

Story
Nell is living in a foster home! Fill out an adoption application to meet her! This sweet puppy is spayed and fully healthy! She is up to date on vaccines. She is still receiving the core puppy vaccine series and will need additional vaccines after adoption to reach full immunization. She is also microchipped! 💧: Housebreaking - She has been making great progress with her house manners but may have an occasional accident while adjusting to a new home. 🏠 : Crate Training - She has shown separation distress and would do best in a home with someone who is home often and can keep her company while helping her work on this! 🚶: Leash walking - So far, so good! 🐶: Dog-friendly - She gets along with other dogs and may enjoy having a canine companion. She has preferred to coexist rather than play too much, so far. 😺: Cat-friendly - She has lived with dog-savvy cats and can peacefully share a home with them. 🧒 Kid-friendly: Not sure, she has not met any kids while with us Nell is the most cuddly dog with an award winning smile, a gentle soul, and never misses a treat throw. She may have had a rough start to life, having come to OTAT extremely ill, but she has now healed up and is learning to trust...and cuddle! She is a sweet and gentle girl who is excited to keep learning about the world around her, and would love an adopter who can show her all the fun things in her future! 🧠 OTAT requires that all dogs 6 months and under be enrolled in a positive reinforcement training program within 2 weeks of their adoption at their adopter's expense. 💰 Nell's adoption fee is $350, and this lovely girl can't wait to meet you! 🧬 This pet has not been DNA tested, we are unsure of their actual breed makeup, but these are the breeds we think they look like! 🩷 Next steps: Email adopt@onetail.org with questions, or submit an application online and we'll be in touch to schedule a meeting: https://www.onetail.org/apply-to-adopt/.

Loretta is living in a foster home! Fill out an adoption application to meet her! This sweet puppy is spayed and fully healthy! She is up to date on vaccines. She is still receiving the core puppy vaccine series and will need additional vaccines after adoption to reach full immunization. She is also microchipped! 💧: Housebreaking - Working on it! She is still developing potty-training skills and will need frequent outings and patience as she transitions to her new home. 🏠 : Crate Training - She is learning that the crate is a safe, positive space with continued practice. While she has been doing well in her crate overnight, she has struggled to settle when home alone. She will need to keep working on this! 🚶: Leash walking - She has little leash experience and is just beginning to learn the basics. 🐶: Dog-friendly - She gets along with other dogs and may enjoy having a canine companion. She has preferred to coexist rather than play so far. 😺: Cat-friendly - Not sure, she hasn't met cats with us yet! Slow intro required if adopted into a home with a cat. 🧒 Kid-friendly: Unknown, she has not yet interacted with kids while with us Loretta is extremely sweet and although she may be very shy at first, she warms up quickly once she knows she can trust you. She may have had a rough start to life, having come to OTAT extremely ill, but she has now healed up and is learning to trust...and cuddle! She is a lover girl and will quite literally jump into your arms if you let her. She will lay her head on your shoulder or dig her head in your arms, because her people are her safe space. She is super food motivated and seems like she will quickly learn new things, so she would love an adopter who is excited to help teach her! 🧠 OTAT requires that all dogs 6 months and under be enrolled in a positive reinforcement training program within 2 weeks of their adoption at their adopter's expense. 💰 Loretta's adoption fee is $350, and this sweet girl can't wait to meet you! 🧬 This pet has not been DNA tested, we are unsure of their actual breed makeup, but these are the breeds we think they look like! 🩷 Next steps: Email adopt@onetail.org with questions, or submit an application online and we'll be in touch to schedule a meeting: https://www.onetail.org/apply-to-adopt/.
