Someone we know found her in a parking lot, so we took her to foster her. She is 14 months old. I want her to have a new home that she can have room to play & run, she has a lot of energy. She is sweet and is learning when I train her how to do things. She was jumping a lot, now she is doing better. She has played well with other dogs when I watched them.

Story
He’s a good dog. He doesn’t like other dogs and does have separation anxiety and cries as well as makes messes when he’s alone. He knows a lot of commands such as sit, down, paw, speak, whisper, and cage. He’s four years old and will turn five on February 12th 2026. He needs more time and attention than what my husband and I can give him due to our busy work schedules. He needs to be the only dog as well as a backyard.

Story
Lilo is a *very* sweet older dog. She has a great personality and loves napping, playing fetch, and hanging out with her humans (she is very good with children). She is small for a shepsky and has more of a shepherd personality- none of the usual behavioral problems you sometimes see with huskies. She has lived with another dog for most of her life, but does want to be "top dog" in the house, so if you have other dogs we may want to arrange a meeting for them to be sure everyone is okay. I am rehoming Lilo for her own safety because we are moving into a home with an incompatible dog. Lilo has been a wonderful companion for years and we hate to lose her, but it would be worth it for her to find a new forever home where she will be loved and cared for.

Story
My pet is a little house trained. He's hyper. A goofy boy. Very pretty. Likes toys. Gets along with cats but uses to much aggression when playing with them. He's up to date on his shots. He's healthy and ready for a new, loving home. Good with dogs that I know of. When I walk him and see a dog, he's nice to them. He has been crate trained since he was 5 months old. He chews whatever he can so keeping him out of the crate might cause problems of chewing something. He's food aggressive. When I make his breakfast he's fine and let's me put it down. It's with other food he gets aggressive. He will bite if you get too close. So not giving him human food would be best. I gave him a hot dog and he didn't like me being near him. He's a sweet boy. Likes to lay beside you. Curled up in the nook of your legs. He is 40 pounds and a year and a half old. He needs someone who can take him on walks. He pulls when you walk him. So you'll need to do some leash training. He's a good boy.

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. If you're the home for Zoey please email 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.November 5, 2024, 8:53 pm
