Story

Get ready to meet your new partner in crime! I'm Sabrina, a playful, adventurous gal who's all about playing, going on long walks, and, yeah, I might have a tiny foot fetish. I'm mastering my sits and downs, and I'm stoked to keep training to become the ultimate best friend. My foster mom, Miss Tina, thinks I'm a total whiz kid and would excel at training. As a crazy-active pup, I need a home with someone who can keep up with my energetic vibes. I'm killing it with crate training and doing pretty well with potty training, if I do say so myself. So, if you think we'd be a match made in doggy heaven, reach out to For Good Rescue. Oh yea and by the way did I tell you, Im really cute too! I was born around mid September and will likely be 50-60 pounds when grown. If I sound like your next addition apply today!! Love your new BFF Sabrina Please visit our website www.forgoodrescue.org to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs.

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
