Story
Looking to find a forever home for my 4 year old German Shepard. He’s a vary affectionate and protective boy who loves to play fetch and cuddle on the couch. We rescued him from a breeder in Detroit and conditions as a puppy where terrible and because of this he came with certain anxieties such as nervous around other dogs and nervous in cars. He is neutered, and crate trained/house broken. I’m looking for someone who is familiar with this breed. He’s very active and needs someone who can give him the time to get his energy out. He is also very protective, so I need someone who can understand that and take that into consideration. He is great with kids and cats. He has shown aggression towards dogs in a protective setting but when he was in a daycare he was sociable with other dogs after some time. I just had a baby and my biggest concern is that he’s not getting the attention and care that he deserves. My family just wants the best possible life for him!

Are you looking for : Handsom, tall, loving, snuggly, cuddly, loyal, playful and super sweet? If so look no further, Thor is your dream boy! He is located in East TN but Out of state is welcome! In fact if you’re seeing this on adopt a pet the cost of transport to your area is included in his adoption fee! Meet Thor! He’s one very sweet loving and handsome fella! He is weary at first meeting new people but it doesn’t take long for him to warm up to you. He is sweet and very playful. He likes to play fetch and is active. He would do best in a home with older kids and without young children. They are so excitable and have so much energy that they tend to make him nervous. He does well with other dogs that are confident but not dominant. Scary or fearful shy or overly excitable dogs make him nervous and fear reactive. He lacks confidence and needs a home that will teach him that he’s a good boy and that he’s safe. He has been fine with small dogs but we have been told NO cats. He is crate trained and is doing well with potty training and not going in the house or his crate. He is current in vaccines, neutered and on flea and tick and heartworm prevention. He is protective of his people and his home. He is craving to be loved and love you back ten fold. We use Rescue Riders for all our pet transport needs because they are so good with our dogs! They are the best. They are also a non profit so it’s a win win for all! Please inquire about him at petpathorg@yahoo.com Application is found at petpath.org

Story
Beautiful Daisy and her head tilt, too cute! She is estimated to be about a year old and weighs 56 pounds. Daisy is a gorgeous young girl with lots of love to give! She's very attentive to you, looking for your next instructions. Daisy is very people-oriented too and will always be close to your side, craving closeness and attention. She would be the perfect addition to your family, providing you with love and companionship, she is such a nice girl. Daisy does need a little work on some basic obedience and walking on leash, she tends to pull a bit. Hopefully her new family can help her with this, she is so smart, she should pick it up quickly. Daisy does need an adopter who understands the mental needs of a GSD as well as their need for leadership to be successful and a home where any children are at least 8 years old. Daisy is currently undergoing heartworm treatment at the rescue. If there is another nice doggy sibling in the home, Daisy would love to meet them. She has an excited, friendly approach with other dogs with an “all in” playstyle. If you are interested in Daisy and are at least 21 years old, please come to our kennel during business hours, make an appointment, or fill out an application at k9stray.com and an adoption counselor will be in touch. We look forward to helping you find your new best friend! *Please check your lease agreements for breed/weight restrictions prior to applying. We also do not do cat testing, so we do not know how a dog will do with cats. Not all dogs are available to go home on the same day you first meet.*

We do our best to provide information that will help determine if the animal might be a good fit for you. Please note that behaviors may change in a home environment. We also ask our applicants to assume that any animal they adopt from us will need to be potty-trained and learn house manners, although this is not always the case. In most cases, the listed breeds are also a best guess. Our online animal bios are designed to provide as much information as possible and answer some anticipated questions. We do not have the resources to respond to emails with more specific questions.We are receiving an unusually high number of applications at this time! Applications are reviewed as they are received, but we do not select adopters on a first-come basis. Our job is to ensure each pet is placed into the best fit home for them and that adopters are paired with an animal that is a good fit for their lifestyle. All animals will stay on Petfinder until they are “pending adoption”. Therefore, if an animal is still listed, we are still accepting applications for him/her! Please do not send inquiries about a specific animal's availability as this can change quickly over the course of the day. The fastest way to get a response is to simply submit an application! We will do our best to notify you by email if the pet(s) you are interested in are no longer available. New animals are posted daily, so please let us know if another furry friend peak your interest (there is no need to fill out a second application)! Fill out the application (DOG: https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=dr1937&method=online_form_html&formid=26, CAT: https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=dr1937&method=online_form_html&formid=41, EXOTICS: https://us14b.sheltermanager.com/onlineform_view?formid=46) completely.

The entire household, including current dogs, must be present for the appointment. (Note: Please do not bring your dogs if you are meeting cats!).
