German Shepherd Dog

Male, Young
Pontiac, MI
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Not good with dogs, House-trained,
Story
He's a goofy boy. He knows tricks like sit, lay down, touch, paw and other paw, and kiss. He likes to lay in weird positions and loves some squeaky toys. He has pretty bad allergies but over the counter allergy medicine and supplements seem to work for him. He's prone to ear infections. He is 3 years old and not neutered. He's a good boy but like any dog he has his moments. He is crate trained. He's pretty skinny now and also has some problems with his paws but the vet said that was due to allergies. Again, he's a good boy and I can't take care of him anymore so I'm hoping else can give him the life he deserves.

Story
Hello! I rescued Mai Tai 2 years ago. She is approx 3 yrs old. She is very smart and knows basic commands and some bonus tricks. She is crate trained, knows how to place in her bed and heel on command. Def needs help on her recall as she loves to chase critters and wants to say hi to other dogs so needs to be on a leash at this point. She is super playful, but also very sweet, funny and affectionate. She loves playing with toys, snuggling in bed and going for car rides. My job role has changed in the last year so I have been traveling almost weekly and work long hours. I also need to be in AZ for extended amounts of time now to help my elderly father. I really just don’t have the time she deserves and having to board her all the time is just unfair. Would really love to see her go to a home with a yard to run around in and maybe another dog to play with. Not recommending cats as she chases them.

Wolverine Lake, MI
Size

Story
Max was rescued at 1-1/2 (now 7years old). His owners were elderly and lived in a motor home. They could no longer take care of him. He was adopted by my daughter and 12 year old grandson. They also have a shiatsu and a Lhasa apso mix. Max fit right into the family. My daughter lost her home and she and her now 19-year-old son moved in with me (her mother). This was a temporary solution. The three dogs were included in this move. My daughter now has new housing which allows only 2 dogs and no large dogs. My grandson has moved in with friends and cannot bring Max. I promised to keep him until we found a good home for him. Max is a good dog and responds to some directions. He appears to be a very smart dog and is friendly once he becomes comfortable with strangers. This usually takes 10 minutes if you don't expect too much of him. He has never bitten any one while in our care. He is very protective and lets people know it with a growl. He needs someone who is active.

Story
Athena is a bright, spirited German Shepherd puppy from a working line with a big personality and an even bigger zest for life. She is curious, intelligent, and always ready for her next adventure. Athena approaches the world with enthusiasm and thrives when she has guidance, structure, and positive outlets for her energy. She is not a cuddly, couch-loving puppy, but Athena bonds deeply through engagement and training. She truly shines when she has a purpose and a job ;learning new skills, problem-solving, or staying active alongside her person. With the right balance of exercise and mental stimulation, she is incredibly fun and rewarding to work with. Athena is best suited for someone who enjoys training and understands the needs of high-drive, working-line dogs. She may be a challenge at times, but for the right home, she offers intelligence, loyalty, and the chance to build an amazing partnership.

Story
Carrots is an owner give up to our rescue. Below is the information her owner gave us initially. I have had Carrots for almost two years now. She has been the most amazing friend I could have asked for. She rarely barks and only lets out an occasional whine if she needs to go out or is wanting some attention. She’s a well behaved for a dog that lives her life with me in a small dorm and can only go out to play fetch or go for a walk when I’m not at class or work. She needs better. In general, she has been amazing for the hand she’s been dealt. I actually couldn’t be more grateful for how well she’s treated me as she’s grown to be near a full two years old!! I am having to part with her because she is still a puppy, and I’m a Junior in college struggling to work and commute on weekends when I have to, and give her the attention she deserves. She’s trained well. She sits on command, she can stay if you ask, she’s house trained, and she’s comfortable with her kennel if needed. She uses a harness for walks and does great. She was trained to walk on the left of you and she’s usually pretty good about staying focused. She has started the process of being an ESA certified dog but has not rec'd her second certification. Her previous owner said that she was around a child once and growled so we do not recommend her with small children. She has never been around cats so we cannot say whether she will or will not be okay arounds feline friends. She would make a great family member for an active family. If you would like to add Carrots to your home, please message us and we will send you an application. Carrots is being fostered in MS but included in your adoption fee is transport to a location near you by Rescue Riders Pet Transport, the most animal friendly transport on the road! The adoption fee includes her medical for a health certificate and transport to you. We look forward to hearing from you soon!
