Lucy and Leo are a bonded pair and would need to stay together. With four kids under 5 we just do not have the time they need. Looking for a owner who is willing to take both and has the time to take care of these two. They are great with our 4 young kids, not so great with other dogs. They have never been around cats.

Story
I have a beautiful 2-year-old female Black German Shepherd, spayed, loving, and energetic. Sadly, due to personal and financial challenges, I can no longer give her the care, time, and attention she deserves. She has been raised with love, and I always cook her meals since she doesn’t eat kibble. She is loyal, healthy, and affectionate, and it breaks my heart to part with her, but I want her to find a safe, happy home where she’ll be cherished. She has received professional training twice—once with Sit Means Sit and again with a dog behaviorist—and has learned many commands. While she’s made great progress, she still has a few quirks, like occasionally jumping on cars or randomly on people and dogs, which can be improved with continued consistency and patience. I am looking for someone who will love her like family and give her the attention she needs. She will always hold a place in my heart, and I will miss her dearly, but she deserves the very best.

Story
Meet Jeremy! Jeremy joined our family about four years ago when he was just a two‑month‑old puppy. He’s grown into a handsome dog—his eyes really reflect his kind, gentle nature. Jeremy is playful, loyal, and loves spending time outdoors, whether going on walks or relaxing in the yard. He would thrive in a home with someone who has experience with large breeds like German Shepherds and who enjoys giving daily exercise, structure, and affection. Jeremy is happiest when he can spend time with his people and get plenty of outdoor adventures.

Story
Hi there! I’m Vanilla — a sweet, spirited pup with a whole lot of energy and even more love to give. I’m still learning the ropes of the big world, so I can be a little unsure around new people and might bark to let you know I’m feeling nervous. I’m also a bit head-shy, so I appreciate slow, gentle introductions.What I really need is a patient, experienced adopter who can help guide me through training and give me the structure I crave. Once I trust you, I’m loyal, goofy, and full of zoomies! If you’re looking for a fun project and a forever best friend, I just might be your perfect match. Let’s grow together!

Story
This is Onyx! She’s a 1 year old German shepherd lab mix who was rescued from a euthanasia list in California. She’s made her way to us in Indianapolis and she’s the sweetest girl! She was fostered with several other dogs for a few months before we got her, but we’re having trouble with our 4 year old Australian shepherd feeling territorial over his things with Onyx here. We just want Onyx to have a safe, comfortable home where she can be loved on!! She is never aggressive. At her last vet visit, she weighed 67lbs. She is shy at first when meeting new people, but opens up warmly. Loves treats and running outside free in the grass. Recently discovered her love of playing in the snow. She’s a good eater. Will give you her paw for pets. She’s met our neighbor’s dogs and did very well with them! She is spayed and up to date on all shots. Happy to answer any questions!

DOB: **8/28/24** Storm is a sweet, goofy, energetic German Shepherd who knows basic commands and walks ok on leash. She loves balls, the flirt pole, sniffing on walks, and being active. Healthy, fit, and very trainable. I have 3 dogs and don’t have the time she truly deserves, so I’m looking for a responsible home that can give her structure, exercise, and continued training. She will come with her **name collar**, **leashes**, and she currently eats **Victor kibble**. Storm is a great dog and needs someone who can help her thrive. Serious inquiries only. -

Story
We adopted Sasha at age 1 from a Facebook rehoming group 6 years ago. She's great with our kids, but unfortunately she has a behavioral issue we've not been able to correct. She came to us with the issue of dog aggression. She is very aggressive towards other dogs. We have tried to work with her. She has traveled and camped with us, she has lived in our home. But we are no longer able to provide a home for her due to her issues with other dogs. I believe she could benefit from professional training, which we are not able to provide. She's a very loving dog. She loves attention and petting. She is food motivated for training. She knows a couple of commands such as sit and lay down and she is perfectly house trained and crate trained. It's a difficult decision to rehome this dog who is so great in many ways, but with her dog aggression, we just can't handle her anymore. Please note that she is NOT aggressive towards humans and has been great with our kids.
