Story
Hi, I'm Stella! I came to All 4 Animals Rescue with my daughter, Myla. I play with her wonderfully and enjoy her company. I do well being kenneled in my own run next to Myla. Even though she keeps stealing my blankets through the kennel wall, I still love her.  When I'm not playing with Myla, I enjoy playing with my toys and chewing on my bones. I really like learning as well. I've been introduced to clicker training and it's fun! I would absolutely love a home where me and my daughter, Myla, could spend our lives in. We can't wait to meet you!Born 09/01/2017- bonded adoption fee applies- house broken- medium sized at 64lbs (would benefit from losing some weight)- good with older childrenFill out an application at all4animalsrescue.org  ##1523216##

Hi, I'm Myla! I came to All 4 Animals Rescue with my mom, Stella. I love my mom and I enjoy playing with her and being around her. I do great being kenneled in my own run next to my mom. I also like to steal my mom's blankets through the kennel wall, more for me! I can be a little anxious at times and I'd love to do some reward-based training to help build my confidence. I've already been introduced to clicker training and I think it's fun! When I'm in my kennel, I do well entertaining myself with my chew bones and toys.

Story
This is Chester, 3-year old purebred German Shepherd male. He is neutered and up to date with all shots. Highly trainable with zero health related issues; his hips were x-rayed at a very young age and showed no sign of dysplasia. Chester is quirky and weird. He is often sensitive and shy but has no problems being out in public/social settings with a handler that he trusts and respects. He does not like everyone and he often feels triggered around new people and new settings. On the other side of his introvert character is an intelligent, athletic, and resolutely persistent dog. He enjoys just about everything from playing fetch to exploring hiking trails with the people he loves. Chester needs an experienced handler and/or handlers who can provide upward of 3 hours everyday to care for him and stimulate him mentally/physically. This is a dog for someone who is capable of providing and enforcing rules, routines, and structure consistently on a daily basis.

Story
If you’re looking for a companion Pearl is your girl! Pearl is a sweetheart. She’s smart, caring, and a beautiful dog with a social personality- She’s quick to become your little shadow.  At 2 years old, Pearl is very adaptable, eager to learn and please. She is an extremely affectionate girl who loves giving kisses and hugs. Pearl enjoys going on long walks and playing fetch so she will need to be housed in an active home, preferably with a yard, as one of her other favorite things is laying in the sun with her ball. When you’re ready to relax she is apt to cuddle up with you and will sleep for hours on end. Pearl perfectly house trained and will clearly let you know when it’s time.  Pearl does require a one dog home. If you are viewing this pet's profile on Petfinder or Adopt-a-Pet,.please use the application link at the bottom of the profile to apply.

Story
Jo came to us from another shelter. It is always sad when an older dog comes to us, because they have to adjust to living in a kennel situation and it is terribly confusing for them. Even though she is older she has a lot of energy, and is extremely strong. We have found she walks much better on a gentle leader than a traditional leash. She needs someone with German Shepherd breed experience and allow her time to open up to you and show you her sweet nature. She is new to us, so there are things still unknown as far as her likes and dislikes, she has not been around children yet and would do best in a home without other dogs. She is currently healing from a skin infection, so her haircut is a bit different, but will grow back and she will be even more beautiful than before. DOB 10-8-14 93 poundsI'm waiting for a home to call my own. email webmaster@petrefuge.com to learn more about me or fill out an application at https://www.petrefuge.com/adoptPet Refuge was formed in 1978 to help with cats and dogs in need of homes.
