Story

Stanley is a sweet, loyal and loving 3 year old, German Shepherd mix. Neutered, up to date on all vaccines, house trained, great on a leash, crate trained and trained to use an electric fence. Loves to swim. Unfortunately, we need to re-home him due to his dislike for our other dog causing too much conflict in our home. We are heartbroken but know he would be great in a home with no dogs or cats. Loves people of all ages. Has extra large dog crate that will go with him.

Story

Good girl needs a good home. My beloved dog needs a good home to spend her last years in. I am unable to take care of her anymore. She needs more exercise than I can give her. I am not financially able to take her to a vet. But she's always been healthy. she is around 10. I want to make sure that she will be living her best life. I've had her for 6 and it is extremely difficult to say goodbye. She needs training. Easily trained. Food motivated. I can't remember the commands and I can see her frustration with me. Playing and fighting are easily confusing for her and she will revert to fighting. She has had minimal socialization, but better than she used to be. Ok with gentle kids, cats, and dogs Never been in a shelter i would like to keep it that way. Great guard dog. Not a lap dog. Loves being outside and car rides. She has never really been alone . Not crate trained. Parents have always been at home during the day.

Story

Alfred German Shepherd DOB 11/07/23 54lbs UTD vaccinations Neutered/Microchipped Flea/heartworm prevention current Adoption donation: $400 (tax deductible) Please read the bio in its ENTIRETY. If you feel your family is a perfect match, please send an email to gateway4paws@gmail.com for additional information. Applications & FAQ regarding adoption can be found here on our website. Only completed applications that meet requirements will be reviewed. We do not allow shipping & do not transport. You must live within 350 miles from Maryville, IL to be eligible to adopt. We will require applicants to be available to travel there. This is one of those times where we jumped in for a breed that is a bit out of the norm for our rescue. A breeder contacted a vet looking to surrender (euthanize) a GSD puppy because he had a heart condition. They knew to get ahold of one of our volunteers because we have taken in many puppies with heart conditions. Alfred visited our fabulous cardiologist where he was diagnosed with subaortic stenosis. We were advised that medication or surgery is not necessary at this time, it may never be necessary. What will be important is for his family to keep him healthy, keep him at a proper weight & feed good food, monitor his heart with regular check-ups, and allow him to be a dog! In his foster home, Albert has been a good friend to all the canines in the home. He had a special friendship with a Frenchie puppy who also had a heart condition. He played with her and understood he needed to be easy because she was so little. He is a very sociable boy. Alfred is working on potty training. It is a process that will require commitment & patience. When a new environment is introduced, there are changes in routine, therefore he will need his family to set him up for a successful transition. Consistency & patience will be required. Alfred is doing very well with leash walking. His training is basic & he has a bit to go to be an ace. But he is smart and extremely trainable. He is a puppy, and he has puppy energy, he also doesn't have "manners", so his family will need to be prepared to train basic commands like sit, stay, off, etc. Until he learns these, please bear in mind he could be a fall hazard for unstable people or young children. Alfred has been staying in a puppy-safe dedicated area of the home when his foster mom goes to work. He has not been crate or kennel trained. He has plenty of puppy-appropriate toys in his space & he alternatively naps & plays throughout the day. He really really enjoys having a canine friend to play with, so we would like to see him find a home with a furry friend, but it is not mandatory. Please apply if you meet the requirements & would like to adopt this big lug, he is a super sweet guy. We are ready to process applications & find Alfred his forever family!

Nala

German Shepherd Dog Great Pyrenees

Female, Young

Florissant, MO

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with kids, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Nala is half German Shepherd, 1/4 Husky, and 1/4 Great Pyrenees. She has a big heart and lots of energy. She’s a bit anxious and might take a minute to warm up, but once she does she is super loving. For the most part she gets along with other dogs but tends to be toy aggressive. A fenced in yard is a must, as she will take off. She enjoys chewing on Nyla bones and playing fetch. We are looking for an active owner who can give her the attention and exercise she craves.
