Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,

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

Story

Ray is a gentle soul with a heart full of love; she just needs a little time to show it. She can be shy at first and prefers a few slow, patient introductions before she truly feels comfortable. But once she warms up? She transforms into the sweetest dog you’ll ever meet. Ray adores giving kisses and will happily lean in for cuddles and pets. Butt scratches are her absolute favorite, and she’ll let you know with a happy wiggle. She’s also very treat-motivated, which makes training both fun and rewarding for everyone. When Ray gets extra excited, she may break out her adorable zoomies, but she settles down quickly and loves to relax with her people. She’ll thrive in a home where visitors are introduced slowly and gently, allowing her to build trust at her own pace. Overall, Ray is a tender, loving companion who just needs a little patience to blossom, and once she does, she’ll shower you with affection every day.

Story

Meet Storm??Hi there! My name is Storm, but when I’m doing really cute things around the house—which is always—my foster mom likes to call me Stormy. I’m a beautiful, jet-black Shepherd mix with a big heart and an even bigger love for people. I currently live with my foster brother Logan, a 5-year-old German Shepherd who my foster mom adopted from Almost Home a few years ago. How cool is that?! I absolutely love playing with him, and I’ve never met a dog I didn’t like. I haven’t been around cats yet, so that part of my story is still unwritten.Everyone thinks I’m around 4 years old. I do have some puppy energy at times, but it’s balanced out by my favorite activity: cuddling. I don’t really understand the idea of personal space, and if you have a lap, I will happily make myself at home in it whether you were expecting me or not. I’ve also perfected the classic Shepherd head tilt, especially when food is involved—which is often, because I LOVE food. That makes me very food motivated and eager to learn. I already know sit and paw, and my foster mom says I’m easy to train.I walk really well on a leash next to my foster brother, and I’m doing great with house training. I’m about 90% there and getting better every day as I continue to learn my new routine. I can get a little too excited when I first meet new people and may jump up, but I’m working on that, and once I know you, I settle right down. I’m also a bit on the skinny side right now, but my foster mom is helping me fill out with an extra meal each day—shhh, don’t tell Logan!I love watching squirrels from the deck, enjoy car rides where I just sit and look out the window, and I truly thrive on being close to my people. My foster mom says I’m going to break her heart when I find my forever home, but she knows I’ll make another family incredibly happy. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate, and cuddly companion, I just might be the one you’ve been waiting for. Please fill out a no-obligation application today and let’s start our lives together!Adoption fee is $360 Email: dogs@almosthomefoundation.org Almost Home Foundation`s adoption requirements: (1) Be at least 21 years of age; (2) Have the consent of all adults living in the household; (3) Have approval from the residence owner; (4) Have valid ID with current address; (5) Be approved by Almost Home Foundation as a suitable adoptive home; and `(6) Live in the suburbs surrounding Schau
