Betsy

German Shepherd Dog

Female, 7 yrs 2 mos

Riverwoods, IL

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Good with dogs,

Story

Betsy is one of those quietly special dogs who can be easy to miss in the bustle of a shelter — but once she’s in a calm, predictable home, her true self shines. She’s a classic German Shepherd in many ways: observant, steady, and happiest when her world feels consistent. In the home, Betsy is fully housebroken, affectionate, and loves being near her people — she’ll rest by your feet, follow you from room to room, and lean in for reassurance — but she’s not a cuddler who wants to be scooped up or smothered. She shows love in her own thoughtful, gentle way. She can be sensitive to changes or overstimulating moments, and may vocalize a little when she’s unsure. But with routine, a quiet place to relax, and someone who understands the softer side of shepherds, she settles in beautifully and becomes a wonderful companion. She’s also very easy to walk — steady on leash and happy to take in the world at a comfortable pace. Betsy can be polite around other dogs, but she doesn’t really want to live with them. She’s much more comfortable as the only pet, where she can fully relax and not feel pressured to interact. If you’re an experienced GSD home looking for a dog who appreciates calm, structure, and staying close without needing constant cuddles — a perfect match for someone who enjoys quiet, steady company — Betsy may be the perfect fit

Bunny

German Shepherd Dog Husky

Female, 5 mos

Riverwoods, IL

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

When Bunny first arrived, she was very shy, but in just a few short days she has begun to blossom. As she gets more comfortable, her sweet and gentle nature truly shines. Bunny does best when you meet her at her level, sit down with her, and she’ll happily come over for pets, resting her head softly in your lap. She is incredibly gentle when taking treats and especially loves a good yak chew to keep her entertained. As Bunny continues to be socialized, she opens up more each day, revealing herself to be a true cuddle bug. With a few loving pets, she’s perfectly content to drift off to sleep right by your side. Bunny would thrive in a quieter home where love, patience, and understanding allow her to show her true personality. For someone willing to give her the time she needs, Bunny will reward them with endless affection and sweet companionship.
