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 has previously lived in a home with multiple other dogs of various sizes as well as cats. He will thrive with the right dog companion. 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.

Hi there-Im Rex <br/><br/>Im a 2-year-old German Shepherd mix with a big heart and lots of energy to share. I can be a little shy when we first meet&#44 but give me a moment and Id love the chance to get to know you. Once I feel comfortable&#44 my loyal and affectionate side really shines.<br/><br/>Im an active young guy who would be thrilled to have a human partner for hikes&#44 runs&#44 or a good game of fetch-especially if tennis balls are involved! Because Im still young and strong&#44 obedience classes would be a fantastic way for us to bond while helping me learn how to be the most polite gentleman I can be. Im smart and eager to learn-I just need someone to guide me.<br/><br/>I really adore people and prefer their company over other dogs&#44 so Id be happiest as your one-and-only furry companion. If youre looking for a devoted adventure buddy who will grow into an amazing partner with a little patience and love&#44 I might just be your guy.<br/><br/>Come meet me-Id love to start our journey together

Story
Gentle Soul is the very best way to describe my personality. Hi&#44 Im Simba&#44 a senior shepherd mix with the softest heart youll ever encounter Ive been through a bit lately. My owner died&#44 and I was brought to the shelter by family who couldnt give me the life they thought I deserved. When I arrived&#44 I had a pretty painful 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 the sweetest boy whos ready to enjoy the calmer side of life. I do the sweetest commands - sit and shake! 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 am I interested in? Kind voices&#44 soft beds&#44 slow walks&#44 and someone who will love me for the sweet&#44 loving boy that I am. I have so much love to give&#44 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.<br/><br/>Love from Simba
