Story
Whisper is being fostered in Waukesha WI Meet Whisper. This stunning black German Shepherd was born on 11/24/2024.  He is about 75lbs and just a total looker. This super bright pup is ready to report for duty, in exchange for treats. He is potty trained and crate trained. He is highly treat/food motivated, this boy is ready to follow your lead so long as you got those treats in your pocket.    Whisper is eager to please, while he knows the basics, he would really excel with someone that wanted to do some obedience training with him.  He would love to have a fenced yard, maybe another dog to play with and someone to love on!  He loves to go for car rides and walks well on leash. His play style with other dogs is a bit rough, so someone that can hold their own with him would be ideal.  He could also do well as an only dog.  His recall is excellent.  Looking for a conversationalist? Whisper is happy to talk to you using his big, beautiful voice, usually when getting into his crate. Desire a workout buddy? This pup has the energy to run you through your paces and would be the PERFECT partner for obedience and/or dog sport training. Prefer a companion with a playful nature? This goofy boy lives for fun and games. Whisper is hoping to find a forever home with someone that has German Shepherd or Belgian Malinois experience. He would be happiest with a fenced yard to run and bounce in, but no fence is required so long as he has someone willing to continue reinfrocing his recall and some treats. Additionally, Whisper loves every person of every age he has ever met but isn’t fond of cats. Whisper is seeking a human companion that has plenty of time to cuddle, play, and teach him with positive reinforcement. Whisper is neutered, microchipped, negative for all tick borne diseases, up to date on his vaccinations and he is receiving monthly prevention for fleas, ticks and heartworms. Proof of heartworm prevention for any current or previous pets is required to adopt from our organization.  For more information on our adoption process or to complete an adoption application, please visit our website at www.MidwestAustralianShepherdRescue.org. NOTE:  All of our dogs live in foster homes with volunteers so we need an approved application on file to set up a meet with a dog you might have an interest in.  Please visit our website for more information on our adoption process, our adoption fees and a link to our adoption application.  We pride ourselves on matches that work for both the dog and your family.  MASR is here for your support, advice and safety net for our dogs for the remainder of their lives.  www.MidwestAustralianShepherdRescue.org ##2441410##

Story
Shadow arrived at the shelter as a stray in November. Upon intake, she was thin, timid and uncertain around the staff. Following the completion of her stray hold, she was transported to Lake Geneva Animal Hospital for spaying. During this procedure, an echocardiogram (echo) was performed, revealing a ventricular septal defect (VSD), a congenital heart defect, specifically a `hole in the center of her heart` within the wall separating the lower ventricles. This diagnosis was understandably concerning. While life expectancy for dogs with VSDs can be variable, especially at her young age, Shadow`s defect is unfortunately quite significant. The primary hope is that if she can reach 1-2 years of age, her condition may stabilize. Therefore, it is crucial to monitor her closely regarding any future anesthesia procedures.Despite the initial challenges, Shadow has undergone a remarkable transformation within the shelter environment, blossoming into a more confident and outgoing dog. While she is not particularly fond of all other dogs, she has been working on branching out. Unfortunately she is not a fan of cats at all. Although she has made significant progress, Shadow is still learning to trust humans and is now taking positive steps.Ask about her today!Adoption Information-•9 months old•Spayed•Tested negative for Heartworm •Microchipped •Wormed•Fecal tested•Still needs some guidance Please remember dog meetings are by an appointment with an approved application.

Story
I am 56 lbs, and I am looking for my forever home. Adoption Donation: $450 Ruffin is a handsome boy with a sweet, sensitive nature. He bonds quickly with his people, takes treats gently, knows “sit,” and enjoys car rides, walks, and chewing on his favorite Nylabones. He’s been a calm, respectful houseguest and does well with grooming and handling. Ruffin is looking for an adult-only home where he can be the only pet and center of attention. He thrives on human connection and will do best with an experienced owner committed to providing structure and positive reinforcement training. With the right home, Ruffin has so much potential to be a loyal and loving companion.
