Story
Voight is an extremely intelligent, empathic, and loving dog. He has a ton of strength and energy and needs and owner that is strong enough to handle him and up for adventures. He has graduated from extensive obedience training and is trained on hand signals. He currently lives with an elderly French bulldog and he is extremely tolerant of her and shows no signs of dog aggression. He seems to love all people and loves to learn up against you while you pet him or place his head in your lap. He needs a new home because he has a high prey drive for squirrels and pulls very hard on the leash when he sees one and his elderly owner is unable to handle him when this happens. His prey drive also seems to extend to cats so it is STRONGLY recommended that he only be adopted by a cat free household. He loves people and children but tends to accidentally knock small children oven when excited so older kids may be a better fit. A fenced in yard to run would be a big benefit.

Story
While Paisley may be pocket sized, her enthusiasm packs a big punch! This sweet girl knows how to win her way into your heart. With smiles and wiggles galore, you can't help but love her! Paisley sometimes needs to slow down to make good decisions when meeting new people or other dogs, so she will need someone to advocate for her in her new home. Luckily, she LOVES to learn and is super smart, so she will thrive with someone who wants to continue training with her!

Story
Have you ever seen the Oprah show where she gives away cars or coffee makers?? That is what we imagine when you are looking for a SHEPHERD PUPPY on the rescue website and see us..."you get a puppy, you get a puppy, YOU GET A PUPPY!!!" We all came to the rescue in really bad shape- skin and bone with wormy bellies and just looking for a good break.... and we GOT IT!! We were taken in by the rescue people, such a blessing for us! So now we are growing fast, and are a little bit chunky (jus sayin...) but we will be likely over 60# each full grown. We have some sweet personalities and love our people! We are looking for our OWN families! And yes we are named after cities in Arizona (and the ONLY boy is Las Vegas :) We want to tell you, ADOPT... DON'T SHOP!!!! We will be waiting!! Local adoption fee is $250 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $500 (includes transport to your area, $50 temporary fuel fee will be included as well)

Story
In a forgotten corner of town, amidst the heaps of discarded metal and forgotten treasures, there lived a German Shepherd named Hope. She was a resilient and loving soul, her bright eyes shining like beacons in the midst of the junkyard's darkness. Hope's story was one of survival and strength. Last year, she had found herself pregnant and alone, seeking shelter among the rusting cars and towering piles of scrap. It was within this unlikely sanctuary that she gave birth to a litter of precious pups. She cared for them with unwavering devotion, protecting them from the harsh elements and scavengers that roamed the junkyard. As her puppies grew, Hope's love and care never wavered. She watched them take their first tentative steps, playfully tumbling over each other amidst the debris. She nurtured them with scraps of food she found and kept them warm on cold nights by curling up with them under the stars. Hope's determination to provide for her pups was unwavering. She ventured out of the junkyard in search of help, her gentle nature winning over the hearts of those she encountered. She managed to find kind-hearted individuals who not only fed her but also provided her with a safe haven for her growing family. Slowly but surely, Hope's pups found loving homes, leaving her heart both full and heavy. But Hope's story was far from over. Her resilience and boundless love had left an indelible mark on those who had crossed her path. Word of Hope's story spread throughout the town, and it wasn't long before a compassionate family decided to give her a forever home. Hope was no longer confined to the junkyard; instead, she now had a cozy bed, regular meals, and a loving family who cherished her. Hope's transformation was remarkable. The once wary and protective dog blossomed into a beacon of love and happiness. Hope's days in the junkyard were a distant memory, replaced by a life filled with love and care. She proved that no matter where life had taken her, she could find hope and happiness, and that her heart was big enough to fit into any family that welcomed her. And so, Hope, the resilient German Shepherd, became a testament to the power of love, showing that even in the most unlikely of places, the seeds of hope can grow and thrive, bringing joy to everyone she met. Hope is STILL looking for the family who will CHERISH her adorable and heart winning personality! MAYBE YOU are her FAMILY!!! ADOPT....DON"T SHOP!!! CAUSE RESCUES' ROCK!!!!! Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400 (includes transport to your area, $50 Temporary Fuel fee will apply)
