Story
Meet Jericho and Jagger—two incredible 2-year-old brothers with matching soulful eyes and big, gentle hearts. These boys have spent their early years without much human interaction, so the world is still a new and sometimes overwhelming place for them. But together, they find comfort, confidence, and courage.Jericho is the braver of the two, often leading the way with cautious curiosity, while Jagger tends to hang back, watching his brother for reassurance. They’ve come a long way since arriving at the shelter, slowly learning to trust, accept affection, and even enjoy the occasional tail-wagging moment of play.Because they were never properly socialized, Max and Moose will need a very special home—one that’s calm, patient, and experienced with shy or fearful dogs. A quiet environment with a secure yard and lots of love will go a long way in helping these brothers continue their journey. They may never be the life of the party, but they will be incredibly loyal companions to the person who sees their potential and gives them the time and space they need to bloom.

Story
Max is a 1-2 year old very handsome German Shepherd. Coming to us as a stray in July, he is fun, very sweet and loving. He just now learning some manners and obedience. He enjoys bacon treats and thinks he is a lap dog. Max will be such a wonderful family dog with a little training, patience, love and structure. He could be great with other dogs--a meet and greet with your dog(s) will tell for sure. (However, no cats for this boy. Too much prey drive!) He may be energetic at first but he does settle down nicely and then will give you very sweet kisses. If you are looking for a playful, silly and loyal GSD, Max will be worth your time and attention! ........ We do ADOPTIONS BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.

Story
Bailey is a wonderful 1 year old companion (Born First week of April 2024). She is loyal and is always seeking to be helpful. Shes a sweet girl, who loves affection and to play. Extremely intelligent, and communicates so well, she actually amazes me at times. I hate to see her go, but I hate the fact that I cant provide her with the care to reach her fullest potential. Unfortunately, I am unable to balance my work schedule with giving her the attention she deserves. - She does great with my 6 year old autistic son and my slow moving 14 year oldman-dog. Get ahold of me, and lets have a conversation about giving her the good home-life that can bring her more love and joy and purpose than I can currently provide for her. =) I appreciate your interest. - Matt
