Story
Zoey is a beautiful young sable German Shepherd female estimated around 5-6 years of age. Zoey was a stray and we unfortunately do not know her history but Zoey is happily looking forward to having a family of her own.    Zoey is a playful and rambunctious girl. Her favorite activities include playing in muddy ponds, getting all the love, and inappropriately barking at unknown dogs and people. Zoey is learning how to navigate the world and make new human friends. While Zoey can be a very friendly and social girl she is at a critical point in her life known as the 'fear period' and can struggle with reactivity when meeting new people. It is extremely important that Zoey have a confident, experienced, handler that can compassionately guide her through the safe socialization she needs in order to learn how to navigate the world kindly. Zoey is very much a puppy and while eager to please she is still figuring out what is expected of her and how to rise to those expectations. Zoey has been great meeting volunteers with the guidance of her foster home and with those she knows is a very loving, playful girl. She has enjoyed going on hikes around private property and exploring ponds and mud puddles. Zoey is an active and athletic girl who is going to require ongoing exercise and structure to ensure her growth into a well rounded adult Shepherd. Zoey would be a great running companion, hiking buddy, and would likely excel in a number of dog sports. Zoey is NOT suitable for a home with children at this time.    Zoey is still figuring out other dogs and how to interact in a polite manner. Zoey can be very vocal when she meets new dogs and was defensive with other dogs when she arrived at her foster home. She has since settled in and is able to enjoy playgroups with other young Shepherds as well as group hikes. Zoey is slowly figuring out that she can play appropriately and doing a great job. Zoey will require ongoing structured socialization and guidance to maintain her progress as she is at an age of development where her socialization both in and out of the house is vital. Zoey is NOT friendly with cats or small dogs as she has shown a very high prey drive with both.    Zoey is a young, eager to please, and outgoing Shepherd who is searching for an active, loving, and adventurous home to give her the guidance and love she needs to grow into an even more wonderful companion.

Story
Star is a beautiful female Shepherd around 3 - 3.5 years of age. Star was originally with us as a youngster who had been surrendered due to playing too rough. She was quickly adopted but was recently returned due to conflicts with the other dogs in the home.    Star is an adorkable social butterfly and is very excited making new human friends. Star loves to love and has not lack of energy when it comes to showing her affection for her favorite humans. She is a very people-centric and close bonding sort of girl. Star is used to being a house dog and is a wonderfully well-mannered and laid back girl in the house. She is eager to please and is happy to chill at home or go on an adventure. Star currently lives with an 11 year old child that she believes hung the moon. She has not been around younger children to our knowledge but she definitely seems to love kids.    Star does well meeting new dogs while out and is a doggy daycare superstar; however, she would prefer to be the only dog in the home. Star enjoys the play yard and romping with other dogs but her humans are a resource she isn't willing to share in close quarters. This is perhaps something that can be worked on over time but would need a dedicated behavior modification plan and is best done in a home she is established in. Star has not been tested with cats.   Star is a sweet, loyal girl who is looking for a family to call home. If you're the home for Star email us at tierhavenrescue@gmail.com for an adoption application or visit Tierhaven.rescuegroups.org for FAQsVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 14, 2025, 4:55 pm

Story
Meet Fuzzy! Spayed Female | 10 Months – 1 Year Old | Long-Haired German Shepherd Say hello to Fuzzy, the fluffy whirlwind of energy wrapped in a gorgeous long-haired German Shepherd coat! At just under a year old, this bright-eyed beauty is still very much a puppy—curious, bouncy, and always ready for her next big adventure. She's full of life, spunk, and the kind of spirit that keeps you smiling (and on your toes). Fuzzy adores people and is happiest when she’s part of the action. She’s social, vocal, and loves attention—but she can be a bit chaotic and rambunctious, so she’ll thrive with someone who’s ready to offer firm, loving guidance as she grows into her best self. Think of her as a work in progress with a heart of gold and a goofy streak a mile wide. Fuzzy’s got some work to do when it comes to making furry friends. She’s a little rough around the edges—barky when meeting other dogs and defensive in group play—but with structure and calm leadership, she can settle down and start to engage more positively. Due to her high prey drive, she is not a good fit for homes with cats or small animals. With the right dog-savvy home and continued guidance, she has the potential to blossom into a more balanced companion.

Story
Layla is a stunning female German Shepherd who is estimated around 5 years of age. Layla was a stray therefore we do not know her history or background prior to arrival at the shelter.     Layla is a fun girl who doesn't seem to understand the purpose of humans outside of meal times. She is aloof and generally seems to not understand why the other dogs would bother with human attention - after all humans are only good for their opposable thumbs. Layla defaults to ignoring people unless solicited for attention in which case she is happy to entertain her adoring fans. Layla has a diva energy about her and definitely thinks she runs the shows sometimes. Layla does not typically seek attention or playtime and prefers to chill out and do her own thing.  Layla has had very limited interactions with children at this time but has done well with the few she has met.        Layla is fostering with other dogs and enjoys being the bossy supervisor of anything they do. She tends to ignore the dogs 98% of the time but in the instance that she catches them playing or being too energetic she is quick to be the fun police. Her version of fun is being the fun police it seems and most dogs do not appreciate her reprimands. She gets along well with the more laid back dogs and those that tolerate her controlling nature. She would likely prefer being an only dog or with older, laid back, dogs. Layla is not good with cats or small dogs.        Layla is a beautiful girl who is looking for a patient home that will guide her in becoming a loved family member. If you're the home for Layla please email Tierhavenrescue@gmail.com or visit Tierhaven.rescuegroups.org for FAQsVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 5, 2024, 8:53 pm

Story
Merv is a handsome young male German Shepherd estimated around 2.5 years old. Merv was a stray so we do not know his history or background prior to arrival at the shelter.    Merv is a social, outgoing boy who happily brings joy and entertainment wherever he goes. He is a beautiful and energetic boy but not always the smartest cookie in the bunch. Merv is people-centric and is an eager to please guy who thrives on guidance from his humans. He has a big heart and is looking to someone to be his 'person'. Merv is an active dog and would be a phenomenal hiking or jogging companion. While he isn't constantly on the go, he isn't a couch potato either. Merv has only been around kids 10 + years of age but he has done well with them.    Merv prefers to be the main character in this storyline and isn't looking to share his home with other dogs. Merv has been able to acclimate to living with other dogs in his foster home but still struggles with reactivity and requires diligent supervision of his interactions with the other dogs. He has greatly improved his leash manners and is doing better at ignoring dogs in public as well.  Merv is NOT friendly towards cats or small dogs.    Merv is a beautiful, sweet young guy who is looking for some much needed guidance and love to help him thrive as a good canine citizen.
