Story
Does your dog have FOMO? Coach certainly does! 👀🐾 Coach is our resident "Curious Character." She is always where the action is, watching intently to make sure she doesn't miss a single thing. While she’s a social butterfly at heart, she’s also incredibly respectful — she loves to wait for an invitation before joining the puppy pile. • Personality: Observant, smart, and a little bit "extra." • Skills: A dedicated student of leash-walking and potty training. • Social Style: Great with everyone! She just likes to make sure she’s invited to the party first. Coach is looking for a family who will give her plenty of invitations to play, snuggle, and explore!

Story
Bo is a beautiful purebred German Shepherd. My father took in him into our house after he was given to my sister by her coworker. I do not know very much about the coworker but they bought him from a breeder. At the time they were leaving to go out of state and for some reason couldnt take him.Unfortunately I am young myself and have a dog of my own and struggle to find the time to take care of them myself. (My father has just recently been wheelchair bound) I have the documentation from his breeder. Also he is unfixed but if that is a problem I'm in a position to pay for that prior to adoption. Bo is a very friendly and carefree dog, and will get along with others nicely. However he has been very reactive with cats/small creatures. I was told this is a chase drive and could potentially be trained out of him. He reacts very well to a shock/noise/vibrate collar. But, I do not have the time, experience or funds for training. Right now he deserves better than I can give him.

Story
You will absolutley fall in love with her!! Our family rescued Mocha from a home where she was kept tied to a tree most of her time. It took her a couple of weeks to warm up to our other dog, who is hyperactive and has poor boundaries. Mocha is calm and enjoys cuddling with her humans. It has taken time for her to learn how to play. Mocha learned to tolerate our dog after some time. Mocha is calm, but is reactive only towards other dogs, I would not recommend a home with active young children or small animals. She is submissive and loving to adults and our son. She would do best in a calm adult only home. Strong resource guarding behaviors around dogs and reactivity towards dogs in high-arousal situations, plus high prey drive. It is a must that Mocha is supervised at all times with other dogs and kids. No prior bite history. She is low maintenance and a wonderful companion dog for adults. She is simply in need of a calm stable home we cant provide

Story
Hi! My name is Lola! I am 3 years old and weigh 75 pounds. My mom is a lab mix and my dad is a german shepherd. I am fully potty trained and crate trained, I like my crate and sometimes just go in there and lay down. I am timid at first and may bark my deep bark until I get to know you.  I enjoy playing with the other dogs in my foster home and even let them take my toys away from me. I go to doggy daycare twice a week and have so much fun. I was so loved and spoiled in my previous home. We had to move to a smaller house with a cat and it was determined that I am not good with cats. I would be a devoted buddy to a loving family (without a cat). Lola's adoption fee is $300 which cover her spay, microchip, vaccines and flea & heartworm prevention. You can apply at gfrpets.org/apply/adoptdog/ ##1462883##
