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)  , .

Meet Hudson! This wiggly boy came into CHS when his previous owner could no longer care for him. He is a bit nervous when first meeting new people but warms up well and loves pets and play time. He has done well in CHS playgroups with other dogs but may prefer female dog friends. If you are looking for an active guy to join your family, come meet him today!

Story
Hi! I’m Porsche. 🐾✨ Yes — like the car. And honestly? The name fits. I’m about a year and a half old, full of energy, and built for movement. I’ve got that classic German Shepherd brain — smart, alert, and ready to go. But I also have a soft side that just wants attention and connection. I recently came back to the shelter after a short stay in a home. Transitions can be a lot for a young shepherd like me. Big changes, new dogs, new environments — it’s overwhelming when everything happens at once. I’m still learning how to slow down and settle when life moves fast. Here’s what I can tell you about the real me: I’m friendly. I’m sweet. I love attention. 💕 I know sit and down, and I come when you call my name. I enjoy car rides 🚗 and I’m happiest when I have something to do — especially if it squeaks! Oh… and toys? They are my thing. 🎾 If there’s a squeaker inside, I will find it. Immediately. I love fetch — although sometimes I’d rather lie down and proudly chew on the ball like I just won a championship. I can get very focused on my toys (I take play seriously!). When I first come out of a kennel, I’ve got some zoomies in me — that young shepherd energy! But once I’m in the yard and have space to move, I settle nicely. Structure helps me. Clear expectations help me. Slow introductions help me. I’m not a “throw me in the backyard and figure it out” kind of dog. I’m a “let’s build this the right way” kind of dog. With proper introductions, supervision, and guidance, I have all the potential in the world to thrive. I would do best with: A confident, experienced dog owner Structured routines Slow, thoughtful introductions to other pets Plenty of enrichment and toy time I’m young. I’m smart. I’m full of potential. And I’m ready for someone who wants to invest in me the right way. If you’re looking for a loyal, energetic companion with a playful heart and a working-dog brain, I might be your girl. Let’s do this properly — together. 💛 — Porsche 🐕
