Story
Theo is extremely smart and active. He really needs an owner that is experienced with the working line dog breeds. We did a DNA test on him and these two breeds were highest percentage. In training, he has done very well. Before the GSD came in his DNA test, we would describe his disposition as more Malinois. If you love that working line dog, he would excel in agility and scentwork. He loves to train and do drill work. Theo would do very well in a home with a confident female dog. He plays and follows the lead of a female dog in his training program. Seems to push back more with a male dog playmate. No cats at this time, but he is getting worked around cats to "leave it" . Any questions you have, please message us or fill out an application on our website www.promiserescue.org

Elsa

German Shepherd Dog

Female, Young
Bourbonnais, IL
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Elsa is a loving, energetic, and very protective dog who cares deeply about her family. She has struggled around other dogs, especially since both neighboring homes have dogs and we live in an HOA community, but I truly believe she could improve greatly with proper training and consistency.This is an incredibly difficult decision for our family. Last year I was diagnosed with leukemia, which unfortunately made it impossible for me to continue working with her the way she needs. My wife is unable to physically control her, and after damage to our fence from a neighboring house fire, we no longer have a safe way to keep her secured in the yard.Elsa deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and receive the time and attention that we are currently unable to provide. We love her very much and want to find someone who can give her the care, structure, and environment she deserves so she can truly thrive.

Story
Don’t let the names fool you—this lineup is built more like a starting defense than a storybook cast. Meet Snow White & the 7 Dwarfs —eight Shepherd mix pups with a story that started far from a fairy tale. Their mom, Lola, was found by a leasing office in Texas doing her best to keep her babies safe. Now, this crew has traded uncertainty for a fresh start—and they’re ready to be drafted onto forever teams. The lineup includes one little lady, Snow White, and her seven brothers, each named after the dwarfs. And while some of them definitely live up to their names (we see you, Bashful 👀), one thing is very clear—these boys are not going to stay small. At just 2 months old, some are already pushing 15 pounds, which means we’re likely looking at medium to large dogs when fully grown. Mom is believed to be a Shepherd mix, and while dad remains a mystery, a DNA test has been submitted and we’re excited to see what comes back. Personality-wise, you’ve got the full roster—playful, curious, goofy, a little shy, and everything in between. Whether you’re looking for a bold leader or a quieter sidekick, there’s someone in this litter ready to match your energy. They’ve got the looks, the size potential, and the personalities to make a lasting impact—they just need a team to call their own. Breed & Size Disclaimer: We do our best to provide accurate breed and adult size estimates based on physical traits such as coat type, size, and structure. However, these are educated guesses and not guarantees. We always welcome input if you think a pup might have something else in the mix!
