Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Ellie is a very sweet mixed dog. We believe she is part German Shepard. She was a rescue; we found her 2.5 years ago living in a graveyard and adopted her. From what we know, she was dumped near the graveyard by her apparent previous owner. She is very attached to our other dog (GSD), but does not get along with other dogs. Behavioral issues: minor nipping (only occasional & what we believe to be in play), crying every time our babies cry, escaping from her kennel/jumping fences, aggression towards other dogs (it seems out of protection of the other dog), and digging in the yard. Very skittish and timid. Positive traits include: very sweet and cuddly, loves being pet and sitting in your lap, responds to basic commands, not a big barker, pretty good on a leash (minimal pulling), generally is good with guests Ellie needs a quiet, child-free home where she can be prioritized. She has had issues from her previous owner (was likely abused) that we do not have the resources to fix.

Story
Charlie came to Angel Paws in September of 2022 as a stray pup dumped in our parking lot along with his sister Chancie. He currently weighs in the 30 pound range. Charlie is a fun loving fella who gets along well with other dogs in his size range. His house-training status is currently unknown as he is in a kennel environment here and not in a home setting.

Story
Misty is large and in charge. At approximately 2.5 -3yrs of age she is about 74lbs, spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, housetrained and on Proheart injection for HW prevention. She is a special lady that will require a steady hand and structure. She needs an experienced owner who won't mind continuing her training to help her overcome the effects of the lack of socialization in her previous environment and her naturally introverted personality to keep her focused and feeling secure. She will need a quiet place where there aren't a lot of visitors coming in and out, no young children and she will need to be the only pet. She does love car rides and we are working on going places, staring with quiet parks without patrons but will be working up to more heavily trafficked places. She is insecure but very intelligent, willing to please and very protective. She is strong but not overly stubborn and intimidating physically but very loving once she trusts you. She is very selective with whom she trusts so she will need that special bond with someone but I am confident there is someone out there who will have that with her and they will have the most loving, loyal companion out there.November 4, 2024, 11:32 am

Story
I was searching for a shepherd-type dog and ended up finding exactly what I needed—her brother, Toma. We drove to the shelter to meet him, and as soon as we arrived, his sister ran out of the cage to greet us. She was missing one eye but had the most incredible personality. We couldn’t bear to leave her behind, so we adopted them both. She turned out to be sweet, hilarious, and incredibly smart—sometimes too smart. Sadly, her spay surgery didn’t go well, and she now leaks urine. It’s not constant, but frequent enough that we can’t let her roam freely indoors. There are treatments that could help, but I simply can’t afford the vet bills. Because of this, she spends most of her time confined with her brother, who has his own issues. She’s clever enough to jump a three-foot fence and even open the gate to let herself out. It’s heartbreaking—she deserves a better life. One where she can run, play (without escaping), and curl up on the sofa like any happy dog should.
