Atlas

German Shepherd Dog

Male, Adult
Jackson, MI
Size
(when grown) X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more
Details
Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,
Story
Atlas is a nine-year-old purebred GSD, we have had him since early 2017 from a family friend. My father and I lacked previous experience with training a GSD effectively, however we both wanted one. We failed to properly train and socialize him, leading to him having incidents with him biting due to separation anxiety and a lack of being neutered. He is pretty well behaved outside of the house from what I've tried, but when he is home, he is constantly on edge, especially when it comes to people talking to my father. This is made much worse due to my father being diagnosed with Dementia, due to this we must have him removed for the safety and treatment of my father.

She loves to watch TV, lounge around, and run around in the morning and evening. She’s has always lived with at least one other dog. She’s been around babies and young kids and has always been so gentle with them. Xena has always been up to date with all vaccines, and we’ve been told she’s in great health.

She is the most loving and affectionate dog I have ever met. I got her when she was just 8 months old and she is going to be 4 this next October. She has been staying in her crate 6 days out of the week due to my busy work schedule and with the skin yeast infection she has I know she deserves someone better. Someone who can give her the time and care she deserves.

Story
Nando belongs to our daughter and the plan was for her to take him when she moved out & got her own place. Unfortunately due to rising housing costs, she is not able to take him. We both work very busy schedules and are not able to give him the time and care that he needs. We love him & we hate to do this but we are gone all day so we have ran out of options. He is somewhat trained. Very protective! He loves our kids (not too sure about other kids) and loves affection. Wanting to give him to someone who can love him & gives him the catr & attention like he deserves.

Story
Meet Scout 🐾 – A big laid-back pup ! (Scout is currently living in Texas with his foster family, he will be transported through Project Freedom Ride when he is adopted) Scout is a sweetheart with the calmest, most laid-back personality of his whole litter. He’s a big baby at heart—gentle, affectionate, and just a little bit of a lovable doofus that will keep you smiling. Scout enjoys companionship and does especially well walking on leash when he has another dog by his side. Scout’s story started on the streets of a small rural Texas town, where he, his momma, and siblings were left to fend for themselves. Thankfully, a kind couple took them in and gave them safety, care, and a chance at a better life. Now Scout is ready for the next chapter—a forever home of his very own.
