German Shepherd Dog

Male, Young
Wilmington, IL
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained,
Story
Boon is 10 months old and roughly 80 pounds. He is great with kids from baby’s to big kids. However he is not very fond of cats and he can give a rabbit a run for his money. He is house trained and crate trained. Unfortunately he has not spent much time on a leash so he will need some training. He is good with common commands (sit, leave it, down, come) but is young and can get distracted. Unfortunately at this time we are struggling to provide the care and attention he deserves due to unforeseen circumstances.

German Shepherd Dog American Staffordshire Terrier

Male, 2 yrs 11 mos
Manhattan, IL
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
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! Sage is an absolutely beautiful German Shepherd pup, born at the end of May. He’s full of energy, curiosity, and puppy charm! Like most shepherds, Sage is both smart and active—he’ll thrive in a home that can give him plenty of exercise, playtime, and opportunities to learn. Because he’s still young and growing, we think Sage would do best with a family that has older kids who can keep up with his playful spirit and help with his training. Shepherds are quick learners, and Sage will blossom with consistent guidance, positive reinforcement, and lots of love. If you’re looking for a loyal, energetic companion to join you on adventures and cuddle up with afterward, Sage may be the perfect match. Could Sage be the newest member of your family?   If you are interested in adopting/meeting this pup , please complete our online adoption application that you can find here: https://www.starfishanimalrescue.com/adopt/dog-adoption-application  .

Story
Meet Barrett, a handsome 5-year-old German Shepherd weighing in at 82 lbs. This loyal boy is fully housebroken and ready to find his forever family. Barrett is the perfect mix of energetic and affectionate—he loves going for walks and spending time outdoors, especially in a securely fenced yard where he can explore and play to his heart’s content. He gets along well with cats and has done fine with other dogs. Because he can sometimes be a little mouthy when excited, Barrett would do best in a home without small children. He’ll thrive with an experienced owner who enjoys staying active and can provide structure, companionship, and lots of love. If you’re looking for a loyal adventure buddy who will also be your best friend, Barrett is your guy! The adoption fee of $350 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.

Details

Story
Luffy is a 31lbs, 1 year old, neutered, German Shepherd mix. Luffy was in a kennel all day and night long. He quickly found his feet and learned to walk up and down stairs and was overjoyed when he discovered what toys are. He did excellent in the bath and enjoyed a good teeth brush. He likes giving kisses and following you around with a toy wherever you go. He is house trained but much prefers you to be outside with him. I am sure he is nervous that we will leave him as he is not used to his new life of freedom. He does like to eat hangers when we are not at home. We bought some hard bones and that cured him of his hanger obsession. He is still learning that his foster family is not going anywhere at night and he does cry for a bit when in his crate. It doesn’t last long and he quietly sleeps through the night. When he hears us coming down the stairs, we can hear that tail going crazy in anticipation of seeing my five-year old. He is also so gentle and sweet with her. When a friend brought her dog over, Luffy was in heaven to have a friend his size to play with. He is full of energy and would do well with an active family with kids (age 8+).   If you are interested in adopting/meeting this pup , please complete our online adoption application that you can find here: https://www.starfishanimalrescue.com/adopt/dog-adoption-application  .
