Story
Hi there&#44 Im Simba <br/>Im an 8-year-old shepherd mix with the softest heart youll ever meet. Ive been through a bit lately - when I arrived&#44 I had a pretty rough skin infection that caused a lot of my fur to fall out. But good news... Im healing beautifully and making huge strides every day! My glow-up is well underway. <br/><br/>Im a gentle soul whos ready to enjoy the calmer side of life. At this stage&#44 Im not really into wild play sessions - Id much rather spend my time relaxing&#44 soaking up love&#44 and enjoying peaceful companionship. Id prefer to be the only dog so I can have all your attention&#44 but I could potentially live with a very mellow&#44 respectful dog who understands that Im not interested in roughhousing.<br/><br/>What I am interested in? Kind voices&#44 soft beds&#44 slow walks&#44 and someone who will love me for the sweet&#44 soulful boy I am. I have so much love to give and Im just waiting for the right person to see how special I am.<br/><br/>If youre looking for a loyal companion with a heart of gold and a story of resilience&#44 come meet me today - I cant wait to meet you.

Story
Hello! Im Bambi! I came to the shelter and birthed several gorgeous babies who have all found homes but Im still looking for my forever home. I started out quite shy but with the care and attention Ive received here Ive learned to open up and enjoy the company of the people around me. Ive even been described as flawless since I can be left unattended&#44 have done well in interactions with older children&#44 and appear to be mostly house trained. Im sure the right home is out there for me and ideally Id prefer one without other dogs&#44 that way I can soak up all the attention myself. Come by and meet me today!

Story
Vera German Shepherd Dog Mix (best guess) DOB: 10/01/2025 Vera is a young German Shepherd Dog mix who’s already showing the intelligence and awareness the breed is known for. Her dad is reported to be a GSD, and her mom—described as a very nice, hound-type dog—found her way to safety while pregnant, resulting in six pups, including Vera. In her foster home, Vera is proving to be a smart, observant puppy who is already picking up on potty training. She’s curious, engaged, and enjoys learning through routine and positive guidance. Like all puppies, Vera will need continued training, socialization, and structure as she grows. With her shepherd mix background, she’s expected to benefit from both mental and physical enrichment to help her develop into a well-mannered adult. Vera is looking for a committed adopter ready to raise a puppy and continue building on the great start she’s already made.

Story
We got Snow as a puppy, and she is a very sweet dog, active, and she's very talkative, especially when you are delaying her from eating her food! She loves getting all the pets and is adorable when she is asking to be petted. She likes to play with toys, loves walks, and she is fast and an excellent rodent catcher (and bunnies and birds). She is trained to know sit, lay down, go potty (she is fully housetrained). Snow needs to be an "only (dog) child", as being part of a pack causes her anxiety, especially with other females. She is up to date on all of her vet care, shots, meds, etc. She would do great with someone who could walk her regularly, or lives on land where she can chase squirrels to her heart's content!

Story
🌟 Meet Astra — A Sweet and Sensitive German Shepherd Looking for Her Safe Place Astra is a beautiful 3-year-old German Shepherd with striking black-and-silver markings and a deeply sensitive heart. She has experienced trauma that has left her fearful and unsure of the world, and because of that, she needs a very specific kind of home to truly thrive. Astra was adopted and returned quickly — not because she misbehaved, but because her emotional needs require time, presence, and structure. We want to be completely transparent so her next placement can be her last. 💛 Astra’s Personality Astra is not confident or outgoing at first. She is cautious, fearful in new situations, and slow to trust. She needs consistency and calm leadership to feel safe. Once trust is built, Astra shows her true self — loyal, gentle, affectionate, and deeply bonded to her person. She is the kind of dog who will form a strong attachment and become an incredibly devoted companion. 🏠 Important Home Needs Astra must have: ✔ Someone home more often than not ✔ A calm, predictable environment ✔ A patient, experienced adopter who knows that something beautiful can take time ✔ Time to build trust at her pace — not rushed expectations Astra struggles with separation anxiety and does best when she knows her person is nearby. She is not a good fit for adopters who work long hours away from home or expect immediate independence. 🐶 With Other Animals Dogs: Calm, friendly, and submissive. A steady, confident dog could be helpful but is not required. Cats: Cat-friendly and content to coexist. 🏡 Home Manners & Training Astra is house-trained and familiar with basic commands. She responds best to structure, routine, and gentle, positive reinforcement. Confidence-building will be an important part of her continued growth. ✨ Why Astra Is Worth It Astra is a diamond in the rough. She will require patience and commitment — but once she feels safe, she is going to be an exceptional dog. The bond you build with her will be deep, meaningful, and incredibly rewarding. She is eligible for our Foster-to-Adopt program, allowing her and her adopter time to build trust before making a lifelong commitment. If you have the time, heart, and understanding to help a scared dog heal, Astra could become the most loyal companion you’ve ever had. 🖤🤍 ----------------------------------------- If you’re interested in adopting, please apply online at mscrescue.org/adopt.

Story
Bronco — Gentle Giant Looking for a Calm Home 🐾 Meet Bronco, a 6-year-old German Shepherd/Bullmastiff mix with a big heart and even bigger personality. This handsome boy loves snuggles, walks well on leash, and enjoys playtime with other dogs and even cats. He’s a loyal companion who thrives on one-on-one attention and is happiest in a calmer, low-stress environment. Bronco is a strong, confident dog who can be reactive in high-energy or overstimulating situations, so he would do best in a home with patient handlers and proper introductions to other dogs. He is calm when left alone and respects the home environment. Bronco is eligible for our Foster-to-Adopt program, making it easy to see if he’s the right fit for your family before committing to adoption. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate, and intelligent companion who will melt your heart, Bronco is ready to meet you! ----------------------------------------- If you’re interested in adopting, please apply online at mscrescue.org/adopt.

Story
Harley is a 6-year-old German Shepherd/Red Heeler mix who has the whole package: calm, loyal, smart, and deeply devoted to her people. She is house-trained, crate-trained, knows her commands, and settles beautifully in the home. She enjoys her daily walks, her toys, and above all, being close to her humans. A true Velcro dog, she loves nothing more than quietly sticking by your side. Harley can be a bit reserved with men and loves to protect her human. When she is feeling unsure or scared, she may bark or growl out of fear, but with slow, positive introductions, she warms up wonderfully. In her foster home, she absolutely adores her foster dad and teenage foster brother, showing just how loving and loyal she becomes once she feels safe. She gets along with other dogs and is in foster with dogs of various sizes and personalities. She may show herding instincts, so a home with older children and no cats would be best for her. Harley is available through our Foster-to-Adopt program, giving you the chance to get to know her and see just how special she is. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion who will stick by your side through everything, Harley just might be your perfect match. ----------------------------------------- If you’re interested in adopting, please apply online at mscrescue.org/adopt.
