Story
Meet Max!Max is a big, goofy sweetheart who is full of love to give. As a 10 month old German Shepherd mix puppy and nearly 65 lbs, he's still growing— and full of playful energy.He loves to run, play fetch, and zoom around the yard, though he settles down quickly after his bursts of fun. A fenced-in yard is a must for Max so he can safely burn off energy. He enjoys long walks, but he does pull on the leash—training classes would help, and he’d love the chance to keep learning. He already sits for treats and is eager to learn more!Max is very affectionate and won't hesitate to climb into your lap for some extra love. He gets along well with other dogs but isn’t a fan of cats. He’d also be excited to meet kids—if you have them, he'd love to say hello!Max would make a wonderful family dog. If you’re looking for a fun, loving companion, Max might just be the perfect fit.Thank you for showing an interest in our pets. We can never guarantee the breeds of the animals. We do not DNA test. Please feel free to call us with any questions.

Story
Fall in LOVE with Sam!! Super sweet boy, master of the head tilt. Sam was previously a full time outdoor dog with a family, until his owners living situation changed and he found himself at the shelter which is no place for a working breed as they REALLY struggle in the shelter environment. Sam is also available for foster or foster to adopt or better yet to adopt! At absolutely no fault of his own, Sam was in foster and was returned. Experience and love for this active breed is a must. The match for sweet Sam will be someone that will not give up on him and understands that training is beneficial for everyone, as that is what he deserves. Here’s what we know about him ❤️ 🐾 3 years old 🐾 Neutered 🐾 85lbs 🐾 Comfortable w/ people, getting used to pets! 🐾 Loves stuffies 🐾 Not sure of other dogs 🐾 HW+, rescue will handle all treatment 🐾 Needs time to adjust to indoor living 🐾 Working on leash walking skills and force free training techniques, crating, etc! 🐾 Learning his manners ❤️ He is looking for an experienced adopter who would be committed to continuing force free training methods with him. Currently looking for an only dog home where he can decompress, work on his basic skills and bond with his humans. If our silly boy Sam seems like the perfect match for you, please be sure to send an inquiry. *Breed is a guess based on appearance

Luci

German Shepherd Dog

Female, 2 yrs
Royal Oak, MI
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Luci was rescued by a kind soul that found her by the river super skinny. She called us and we picked her up. We believe she is a purebred GSD. She is on the smaller side at just 40lbs so if you love the breed but can't handle a very large dog, Luci would be perfect. She is spayed, UTD on all required vaccines, HW tested negative and microchipped. Typical to the breed, Luci does have a prey drive so no cats or small dogs or other small pets. She loves people and gets along well with a large group of dogs here. Also, Luci is reliably housetrained. If you would like to make this beautiful and sweet girl your new family member, please email omlc7@hotmail.com or dogs4mylife@gmail.com and we will send our info and application. If you do not see a response, please check your spam folder.

Story
Princess is an approximately 3 year old spayed female shepherd mix that desperately needs a home. Her owner was unable to continue to feed her, and a neighbor stepped up to help care for Princess but they are not able to care for her long-term. Princess is good with other dogs, and after having multiple litters of puppies before getting spayed, she is very maternal. She is friendly with strangers but will let you know when they come into the yard! Princess appears to be house-trained and is non-destructive when she comes inside the house at night to sleep. Once she knows where “home” is, she is not one to wander and sticks close to where her people are. Princess is fully vaccinated but is unfortunately heartworm positive.
