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
Alright you caught me fair and square, I am the guy from Florida that used to be....a silly adventurous Shepherd boy! I am still that same guy. I found myself migrating north to a cooler climate in search of broader horizons. I am a boy of travel, wonder, excitement. I am also a boy that can relax, spend time with a lovely person, enjoys going for walks, enjoys playing with a ball or 2. I have spent the last year living in a kennel. The most generous and kind people have allowed me to stay here in the safety of this place while I find a home to call my own. Here I have learned how to behave, walk nicely on a leash and how to stay patient. I get out a bunch but I long for home.  I enjoy being around people. I am a strong dog and probably would push over some smaller humans but I enjoy everyones company. I prefer a home where I am the only pet. I havent had too many interactions with other animals but I feel very happy being independent. My manners are pretty good and I can stay focused on my human, even when other dogs try to distract me. I would love more than anything else in this world, to just be your very best friend. I promise I will crate at night, Ill potty only outside and Ill be a loyal true bud.  To ask about Frankie, please contact us directly by calling 847-338-3252 or emailing info@redemptionroadinc.org.

Story
Nala is an 3yr old German Shepherd. Her birthday is July 30. We are looking for a new home for her that will have the time for her. Unfortunately we are so busy with work and kids and their club sports that require travel. She does have behavioral issues. That limit the people that can take care of her. She has severe anxiety with people. She will need training. Preferably someone that has experience. We want her to live the best life she can.

Story
Millie is a sweet loving active 5yr old! She loves to love and snuggle, she actually think she is a lap dog. She is potty trained, know a number of skills and is very intelligent. She would prefer to be on only dog, so she can get all your attention. She has not been around small children, so I am unsure of how she would be, but she will be your best friend for older kids and adults. I am getting married in a few months and I will be re-locations in a few months and cannot take her with us. She would make a great family dog!

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. All dogs are microchipped, neutered, current on all vaccines, heartworm tested (if age appropriate), and up-to-date on preventatives at the time of adoption.
