Story
I got Gotti from a friend who was in a domestic situation. I am older and Gotti is strong with a lot of energy. He is so sweet, playful, loves his people, and very loving. He is just too much for me personally. He gets very excited when he sees other dogs and it can be too much for me to hold onto him. He wants to please. He is completely house trained, has a huge crate (I have never used it), has never destroyed anything in my place when I am gone. I want him to be loved and have room to run/play. He is so lovable 💖

Story
Meet Clover! This handsome almost 6-month-old, 60-pound German Shepherd mix is looking for his forever family. Clover was adopted as a young puppy but sadly returned when things didn’t work out with a small child in the home. True to his breed, Clover is energetic, athletic, and incredibly smart. He’ll thrive with structure, boundaries, and continued training. At the rescue, he’s shown a sweet and submissive side, and he gets along well with other dogs. He absolutely loves walks, playtime, and soaking up attention. We believe Clover is house trained, and with his intelligence and eagerness to learn, he’s sure to be a quick study in his new home. Because of his energy and shepherd nature, Clover would do best in a home with older children (if any) and a family ready to give him the guidance, activity, and love he needs to grow into his full potential.
