Story
Medusa is a 4 year old german shepherd (turning 5 in October). We took in Medusa when she was about 4 months old from a family friend. We were told she was a pure german shepherd although she didn’t grow to be as large as one. We suspect she may be mixed or perhaps a runt but from the way she looks you can’t even tell. Medusa is very protective and loving but can be very energetic and jumpy. She loves to be around people but tends to get too excited and has a jumping problem. She has been good around our children who are mostly older. She does have a problem with “fighting” our larger male dog but we presume it may just be for dominance reasons. As mentioned, she loves attention and in the past has even faked an injury so she can be near us. Medusas worst quality is her hatred for the vet. She has thrown huge fits and taken off muzzles. Recently with a new family member it’s been especially hard to care for her properly and we think it’s best she finds someone with more time for her.

Story
Roxy is a 5 year old female German shepherd. I got her 5 years ago, not knowing the maintenance I would have to keep up with on her. I am looking to re-home her to a good, loving family. She is a really good dog but I nor my family can keep up with the maintenance of her & we do not have much time for her. She is very smart, she learns fast & is very active. She has somewhat been around dogs for the past few years & she’s more friendly with male dogs than female dogs. She is house trained & very protective. She really is a good dog but it is unfair to her for us to keep her & not take care of her the way we’re supposed to & that is why we’re looking to re-home her.

Story
Fostering in Pittsburgh, PA - transport available to her perfect person! 2 years old, 45 lbs, spayed female UTD on vaccines, microchipped, & on monthly heartworm/flea/tick preventatives ✅ Good with men & women ✅ Good with older children ✅ Good with other dogs (requires a companion) ✅ Good with cats - housetrained - crate-trained; does not need to be crated, but needs a crate available as a safe space - shy with new people and takes a while to warm up; once she knows you, she is a sweetheart who will seek affection gently (licks your hand and wags her tail) - no small children as they are too much for her while adjusting to a new environment - will bark and retreat to her crate when unknown (to her) visitors come to your home - Relies heavily on other dogs when adjusting to change or interacting with something/someone new so she will require a confident canine companion - occasionally plays with the other dogs but is low energy herself and prefers dogs who are not constantly in her face seeking interaction - neutral with our cats and doesn't mind them sitting on the leather chair with her or grooming her coat - loves toys and will carry them around the yard or to her crate, she'll tell you she loves plush toys but she will also promptly tear them apart - walks well on leash when accompanied by a person & dog she trusts. Leashes/collars were a foreign concept to her when she arrived and it took her a while to be comfortable with them so she will likely regress a bit with a new family until trust is built. She still gets nervous at times but recovers quickly. She will now go to the door to be leashed with loose body language & a wagging tail when her collar is put on - will require a secure, physically fenced yard *Andy takes daily fluoxetine to help her manage her anxiety. It is about $20 every 2-3 months.*
