Story
Meka is a 5yr old GSD with a very sweet disposition, very alert and eager to please. However, she has some anxiety and gets extremely jealous when attention is given to another pet. She was rescued by us after being abandoned and left at a shelter 6 hours away. We brought her home thinking that she would be a great playmate for our 2yr old Lab but we were terribly wrong. She's very aggressive towards him, and attacks him whenever he attempts to enter the yard while she's in the yard. She bites him multiple times a day and gets very jealous whenever we show him any attention. We also have a cat that she regularly growls and barks at. These animals were here first and it's not fair to them how she behaves. We love her very much but think that it's best that she live in a home where there are no other pets. She would also make a great companion for someone who lives alone and has no other pets.

Story
I got my dog in Ohio, and he was born on June 22, 2022. He is very energetic, loves being outside, and enjoys playing and staying active. He is extremely friendly and loves people, often jumping up to greet them out of excitement. Because of my busy schedule, I’m looking for a home where he can get more time, attention, and exercise. He would do best with an active person or family who can play with him and continue his training. He is a loving, playful, and happy dog.

Story
We were fortunate to adopt him as a puppy from a family whose German Shepherd had a litter. He is now 5 years old and has been a loved part of our family.As much as we care about him, our lives have become very busy and hectic, and we’re no longer able to give him the time, attention, and activity he truly deserves. This decision hasn’t been easy, but we want to make sure he goes to a home where he can be fully loved, engaged, and well cared for.He is a big, affectionate cuddle bug with a sensitive, “crybaby” side who loves attention and being close to his people. He’s playful and energetic, especially when it comes to fetch—he’s absolutely obsessed with his red ball! He also has a silly personality and is very food-motivated, which makes him both fun and easy to bond with.We’re looking for a home that can give him the time, love, and play he thrives on.

Story
Phthalo was a puppy running around our neighborhood, he was emaciated and had a bad cut on his arm. He was so hungry we gave him a muffin and he got right in the car. We took care of him while we looked for a potential lost dog post. We ended up taking him to the vet and getting his shots done. We have had him for 3 years now. He is good with our other little dog Charlotte. He doesn’t seem to like cats. We just recently had a baby. While our baby was newborn we didn’t notice any issues but as he’s gotten older (almost 2) now he’s starting growling at our child. We don’t want to risk anything happening to our baby and so we need to find a good and loving home for Phthalo that is kid and cat free.
