Story
Meet Ritz!  Your Loyal, One-and-Only Companion Ritz is a 7-year-old Akita mix who’s had a bit of a rollercoaster lately. Recently returned to us through no fault of his own, he’s ready for a fresh start with a family who will cherish him forever. This big-hearted boy has so much love to give and wants nothing more than to play fetch with his people.  He thrives on attention, enjoys walks, and is always up for a good fetch session. Ritz prefers a calm environment where he can be the center of your world. He’s not a fan of sharing the spotlight, so he should be the only pet in the household. Ritz isn’t just handsome—he’s incredibly smart, too . He is fully potty trained, kennel trained, and listens well to commands. He loves having structure and knows what’s expected of him. Being the loyal Akita he is, Ritz would likely do well with kids and would adore “his” little people but he can be protective of his family, so he’ll do best with confident leadership and clear boundaries. Ritz is past the puppy stage but still full of life. He’s a smart, devoted boy with a lot of love to give. If you’re looking for a loyal friend who will bond deeply and love you unconditionally, Ritz is ready to fill that role in the most heartwarming way . Give Ritz the forever home he’s been waiting for...your couch, your heart, and your life will be better for it. The adoption fee is $300 + tax and covers age-appropriate vaccines, a microchip, and a spay/neuter.  We're open from 12-4 PM Tuesday - Saturday! Did you know you don't need to have an appointment to visit our available cats and dogs***? Simply drop by and if you find a potential new furry friend, you can fill out an application on the day you visit. Go to townandcountryanimalrescue.org to fill out our digital application. Applications are typically processed in 3-5 business days.  Once you're approved, you can return on the date and time set up by your adoption counselor, with your family for a meet and greet. If it goes well, you can take your new best friend home on the meet and greet day!  If you have other dogs in your home, they must all meet the potential adoptee.   ***Please note that animals in foster homes cannot be viewed at our rescue, and appointments are still required to meet them.  Please be sure to follow us on Facebook to learn more about Town and Country Animal Rescue and our mission.  ##954796##

Story
Located in the Western NE/WY/CO area20 months approxGerman Shepherd DogWould do best with older children with dog manners or no children ( , )Dog friendly Cat friendlyHouse trainedKnows some commands & will go in a crate with a treat. She is incredibly eager to learnWants to be around her people… all the timeCorrectly wary of strangers, as is typical to the breed Learning to play & retrieveLoves to cuddle on the bed, so much it is a that she be allowed on the bedFantastic for nail trimsLeash trainedDoes well in the carLikes to be left alone when eating, she doesn’t share food ( )  Fully vetted55lbs approx (should be 60ish) Vera had a very rough first year and a half of life. She is an amazing testament to how resilent dogs can be. Very spent her first year rotating between a pen and a kennel with little to no human interaction. Since being rescued however she has fully embraced spoiled indoor dog life. During her time in rescue we have had the honor of watching her blossom and learn to dog.  Vera is a wonderful example of what a GSD should be.  She’s extremely loyal, loving and constantly seeks or wants to be with her human.  She’s  protective of those in her care. She is correctly wary of strangers(GSDs are Not Labs/Goldens). Like a typical GSD Vera is a serious girl. She likes tasks, including monitoring out the window watching for any concerns. She is quick to learn and enjoys positive reinforcement time for training. She does sometimes let some silliness seep through, but she is not a dog that would ever be described as “goofy.”  As mentioned above Vera is learning to dog and part of that is learning to play. She enjoys playing with her fosters younger male dogs. Her foster also has older male dogs who Vera just doesn’t play with, so she does recognize social cues. Vera considers herself top dog and can be incredibly bossy, so she would do best with submissive dogs. She is a rough player so that is something to keep in mind. This sweet girl has a medium activity level would love to go on outdoor adventures. She is incredibly regal and truly captivating. She moves like a dream and has good confirmation. She has a small crook in her tail that makes her even more endearing. She has medium prey drive but does well with cats.  Vera appreciates very, slow introductions to new people, preferably with yummy treats involved.  The approach should be to let Vera go to new people, don’t let new people crowd or force themselves on her.  Vera also appreciates being left alone to eat.  She would prefer if you don’t stick your hand in her bowl or let other dogs near her when she’s eating. This is just proper doggie etiquette but one she will enforce.  Vera is working on putting on a little weight so the opportunity to eat three meals a day would be great until she gets into a maintenance phase. Vera is just a special, lovely girl that is going to give 100% of herself to you once she knows she can trust and love you.  She deserves the most loving and caring home and we are determined to find that Furever home for her.   If you think that Vera may be a great fit for your home please contact us!  $.  ( 5013 . , ' .) means, altered, up to date on vaccines, HW tested if applicable and on flea/tick preventative (chemical or natural, aka no buggies)  , . This means there is no place for you to go in person to view our dogs. We ask that an application be filled out and we will go from there! , , the adopter pick the dog up in person and DRIVE or FLY ( ) the dog back at the adopters expense. We do coordinate transport.  ’ . . ’ , . . , . ##2669110##
