Story
This is Rufus! He is a very sweet, loyal, and chill dog. He spends most of his days laying on his favorite bed, our very nice couch. He loves pets and will stare us in the face until we give in to his quiet demands. When given the chance, he will be your very big, bulky lap dog. While sleeping is his favorite activity (preferably by me, his preferred family member) he can be quite playful and energetic when given the opportunity! Rufus is a fantastic dog with a traumatic first few years of life. We rescued him in 2018 and he has blossomed since then. We are incredibly broken up about needing to rehome him. We are moving to Spain and truly believe, based on his past and personality, he will experience less trauma and stress if we rehome him. If our circumstances were anything other than moving out of the country, this lovable guy would be with us until his last moment of life. We are looking for the perfect family because he deserves one.

Story
Meet Remi! He is a 5 yr old Pure GSD. We rescued him from an abusive home a year and a half ago, but it was only ever supposed to be a foster situation until we could find him a home. Now we have a baby on the way and he just really needs a place to be where he can run outside and have a good yard to play in. He is very smart and is wonderful with people and other dogs. Extremely good with kids, very patient and has never shown any aggression towards anyone. When we got him his legs were bare and bleeding because whilst he was left alone for weeks at a time, his anxiety caused him to chew on his legs. We have been doing our best to restore him to his former glory. He absolutely loves love and will constantly want pets and belly scratches. He is a very good boy, but our time with him has to come to an end unfortunately. I'm really hopeful one of you lovely people will want to help this sweet boy out! Thank you for reading!

He was my dad's dog. He passes in 2022. My mom has mobility issues so we took him in. He's a good boy but we just moved with no fenced in yard. Hubby and I have mobility issues. He has a dog and 2 cats he hangs out with just fine. Does great with kids but kind of sketchy around men.

Story
This guys name is onyx and he a German Shepard that’s just over 2 years old he’s a bit shy and has a hard time getting to know people but he’s a sweetheart. He’s had a rough past before me but he would definitely open up to people if he had some time to do so. Unfortunately he’s not good with other animals from what I’ve experienced. He’s pretty much up to date on his shot just haven’t gotten to getting the most recent one with me getting ready to move. I don’t have kids so I’m not sure how he would react to being around them. If anyone is interested please feel free to reach out I’ll willing to throw in some food and a cage for him if anything I just want the guy to find a nice home. I have some more details to mention about him if anything.

Story
I took in this female German shepherd after finding her lost outside and posted missing dog photos. She seems to have no owner. I cannot afford to take care of her myself. If there is anyone who can give her a better home I would appreciate that she's a fun, kind, loving, playful dog who can be shy sometimes if you think you'd be a suitable pet owner for her please contact I am not able to take her to a shelter myself I do not drive.

Story
Named after the talented actress from Stranger Things, Miss Sadie is a beautiful 2–3-year-old German Shepherd with brains, drive, and tons of potential. At about 50 pounds, she’s the perfect medium-sized Shepherd who’s ready to find a committed, experienced home to help her shine. Sadie is house trained, crate trained, and walks pretty well on leash. She knows sit, shake, and down, and with her high intelligence and eagerness, she would truly benefit from continued obedience training. This smart girl loves to stay busy — playing with toys, squeaking her ball, running in the yard, and playing fetch (or keep-away!) are some of her favorite things. After playtime, she’s happy to relax with a good bone and lounge near her people. Sadie has a confident personality and prefers to be the boss with other dogs. Because of her energy and drive, she requires a fenced yard where she can run and play safely. Kids and cats are currently unknown. German Shepherd experience is strongly preferred, as Sadie will thrive with an owner who understands her breed and can help guide her into becoming the amazing dog she’s meant to be. Sadie is incredibly intelligent, full of potential, and ready to bond deeply with her person. With the right home, she is going to be something truly special. Sadie’s adoption fee is $250.
