Story
Fritz has allergies according to the vet so his skin gets flaky and certain times during the year, he has lick granuloma. He loves to bring gifts to you whwn you come home he licks to play tug o war and fetch toys. He has been my daughters dog forever and loves her and her older children! She had a baby a year ago and he has not taken well to the baby. He bit the baby 2 weeks ago so I took him immediately to get him out of the house. My daughter is devastated for both her baby and her baby dog but obviously can't bring him back to house. I can't keep him only because I live where he has no yard and I work long hours so his life is boring at this point. He has never shown any aggressiveness up until that incident and again has not since then.

Story
Hi there! My name is Feyre.Weight 13.5# I spent some time in a loving foster home & this is what they say about me, `Feyre is a very bright puppy who is eager to please her people. She is doing very well with potty training but has some room for improvement. She is very independent and good at entertaining herself. She is curious and will put just about anything in her mouth, so potential adopters should be ready to “puppy-proof” their home. Her favorite chew toys are Nyla bones. Feyre would do well in a home with other dogs. If her adopter has cats, she will need guidance on how to properly interact with cats.`Come scoop me up!If you have any current dogs in the home, please bring them with you when you come to visit!

Cinderella, or Cinders; as I call her, is an amazing German Shepherd, raised with love and much calm. I purchased her for $1000, the $150 includes her vet records, proof she is AKC registered, spayed. Plus her cage and toys and dog bed. Cinders is housebroken, obeys commands: Outside, sit, shake a paw, lie down, cage (go to your cage) and much more. I had two stents put in my heart and she needs someone young to play with who can give her the TLC and especially play hardy.

MikeyGerman Shepherd1 year70 poundsI came to shelter as a stray on March 11th.I am definitely a puppy and need some work on my mannersI do appear to have bilateral hip dysplasia but it doesn't seem to bother me right now, but later in life I could need pain meds to help with this issue.I do have a few friends here at the shelter. So having friends in my adoptive home will help me to burn off my excess energy along with daily walks.

Mr. Dasher loves kids! You have to see this boy in person to see just how cute and sweet he is. Oh and did we mention he has been trained?? Dasher knows sit, down, heel, stay, come, and place. We will do free lessons with his adoptive owners so you can learn everything this smart boy knows! Dasher is also neutered and up to date on all of his vaccinations. He does need to be the only dog in the home. He is too good of a boy to not have a family of his own! If interested in Dasher.Please SHARE this post! Dasher has been in rescue too long and deserves a loving home!www.pawsofadamscounty.com

Story
Stitch is a 4 year old Shepherd Lab mix that came to us from Mississippi. He was seized from his owner after it was discovered that he and Grace were tied to trees in the back yard of a property. Stitch was severely injured. His collar was so embedded in his neck that he had to have surgery to remove it. He also had the chain stuck around his legs so he couldn't move.  He has scars on h8s back legs from that. Stitch loves scratches and gives lots of kisses. A home with a fenced in yard is required. We do not want him to be on a tie out ever again. Hecdoes walk great on a leash. He is good with other animals and kids. He is neutered, up to date on shots, rabies, microchipped and heartworm negative and on prevention. His adoption fee is $413 ##1771065##

Absol is a 1yr old GSD. Look at his ears, and his sweet amber eyes. This guy is so loving and wants to be with people. He knows sit and shake. Absol was returned because he was nipping and doing other GSD things. A female owner may be best. This boy has great potential, and whoever considers adopting him should read about German Shepherd Dogs. They have qirks, but are one of the smartest breeds. He is good with cats.**Please fill out an application found on our website under "adopt a pet" and send it in to start adoption process.**All Dog Adoption Fee's are $175 Cats are $100Includes initial Vaccinations, De-Worming, Flea Meds, Heartworm Testing, & Spay/Neuter
