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
I was given Gunter by a family friend who bred him. He is the most amazing and beautiful dog I have ever seen. For his first 4 years he was my entire life. I took him on vacations, he went to work with me, I trained him in a dog sport called Schutzhund where I got his BH title. Anything I try to train him in he picks up very very quickly. He has an incredible desire to please and serve. Unfortunately, my job changed and I am no longer able to provide him the level of attention and activity he desperately needs and very much deserves. Thank you for your consideration in giving him what I no longer am able to but very much want to.

Story
🌟 Meet Astra — The Gentle, Loyal German Shepherd Looking for a Fresh Start Astra is a stunning 3-year-old German Shepherd with soft black-and-silver markings and an even softer heart. She has spent her whole life with one family and is now looking for a new home through no fault of her own. Her family’s living circumstances changed, and they can no longer keep her, but they want her to have the loving future she deserves. 💛 A Sweet, Submissive Companion Astra is a gentle soul. Around other dogs, she’s calm, friendly, and naturally submissive—happy to follow rather than lead. She also does wonderfully with cats, preferring to quietly ignore them. She is shy at first with new people and children, but warms up beautifully with kindness and patience. Once she knows you, she is affectionate, loyal, and eager to please. 🏡 Great House Manners Astra has lived indoors her whole life and is very well-behaved at home. She isn’t destructive and will simply nap while you’re away until her people return. She knows basic commands and has a calm, steady presence that makes her an easy companion. 🐾 Astra Would Love a Home With: ✔ A gentle family or adopter willing to give her time to adjust ✔ Another friendly dog to follow (optional but welcomed) ✔ A relaxed, loving home where she can rebuild confidence ✔ People who appreciate a sweet, quiet, loyal companion ✨ Why You’ll Love Astra She’s the kind of dog who bonds deeply and quietly — a shadow at your side, a soft head in your lap, and a heart full of love to give. With her mild temperament and wonderful manners, she is ready to become someone’s loyal best friend. If you’re looking for a gentle, shy-but-sweet shepherd who will blossom with love, Astra is waiting for her second chance. She is also is eligible for our Foster-to-Adopt program, which means you can take some time to get to know her in your home before finalizing the adoption. It’s a great way to ensure the perfect fit! 🖤🤍 ----------------------------------------- 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 shows herding instincts, which means she may try to herd small children as well. Because of this, a home with older kids in a cat-free is ideal. 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.

Story
Meet Snickers! He is a shy but incredibly sweet little gentleman who blossoms with gentle encouragement. Once he feels safe, his loving personality shines through—making him a wonderful companion for someone who appreciates a tenderhearted pup. Snickers enjoys playing with other dogs and is very curious about cats, watching them with friendly interest. He’s also a smart boy who loves his kennel. Tell him “go in,” and he trots right in on his own. He knows to sit politely before meals, has shown no food aggression, and—true to his name—he absolutely loves to eat! This clever guy is already potty trained, knows how to use a doggie door, and understands basic boundaries. He’ll hop onto furniture if allowed but listens well when told “get down.” Snickers enjoys toys, especially ones he can chew on, and he’s still learning how to walk confidently on a leash. If you’re looking for a gentle, loyal, and loving young pup who just wants a safe place to land, Snickers may be the perfect match. He’s ready to find a family who will give him the patience, security, and affection he deserves. Snickers will come with age-appropriate vaccines, neutered, microchipped, and up to date on heartworm prevention. His adoption fee is $250. Apply to adopt Snickers today at https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/LUCK/Dog or at www.lucky13rescue.org.

Story
Cylas is 1 year old, 55 pounds, neutered, up to date on all vetting, and microchipped. His adoption fee is $250. Cylas was found as a stray and brought to us when no one came forward to claim him! We cannot believe that nobody claimed him, because he is the sweetest man to walk the earth! He loves to play fetch and when he brings the ball back, he will sit on your feet and wait for you to throw it again. Cylas LOVES his people and once he gets to know you, he is bonded for life. He is quite the energetic boy at only 1 year old, so he will need a family that will give him lots of play time and take him for adventures! He does great with other dogs of all sizes and would be super happy to have a canine companion in his forever home. Cylas can jump fences so he will need to be kept on leash until he bonds to his new family, or in a home with a privacy fence. All in all, Cylas is a super handsome, silly, happy-go-lucky guy and his furever family will be so lucky to have him!

Story
Meet Fanboy! Fanboy is a beautiful and unique looking dog who is loving his new life after being abandoned, and is looking for his forever family! Fanboy was left tied to the door of an abandoned motel. The Motel owners believed he had belonged to a homeless man living in the area, who decided he could no longer care for him and left him behind. He waited patiently, watching as cars and people passed by for over 24 hours before someone finally contacted rescue. After arriving with us, he was understandable nervous, but after one good cuddle session, he quickly became a staff favorite due to his fun loving and goofy personality! Fanboy is a high energy dog who loves to go for walks and runs! He would be GREAT for someone in need of a jogging buddy! He is also good with large and small dogs, however he is a rough player so we want to be sure any dog in the home is comfortable with his rough and tumble play style. Fanboy likely mostly lived outside before coming to us, so he will probably need to work on potty training. He has already started working on basic commands and leash skills. We would love to find Fanboy an active family who will help him be the great family companion we know he is!
