Story
Looking for a home for my goofy GSD/mal mix. 5yo, neutered, obsessed with his people. Im requiring malinois/other working breed experience as previous homes had trouble with the malinois mentality and he really deserves his forever home. But for a malinois mix, hes way easier than a full mal or dutchie. I lived with him in a small apartment for a year at one point. I think his best fit would be an active owner or maybe someone who's had malinois in the past but doesnt want such a difficult dog anymore. He's an absolute sweetheart, good with other dogs, has had professional training and knows a ton of obedience and tricks. Doesn't counter surf or chew stuff up. Crate trained but can be left to roam the house unsupervised as well. Super food motivated, will be vocal about it. He's extremely goofy and will continuously make you laugh. Rehoming because hes too prey drivey for the work my dogs do and my other shepherd is aggressive towards him. Located near Reno NV.

Story
Rusty is a stunning shepherd mix with soulful eyes and a quiet, thoughtful nature. He's the kind of dog who forms deep, meaningful bonds &#194&#151 but he needs a confident, calm person who understands that trust is earned, not rushed. Rusty can be a little leery of new people at first. The world feels safest when he has time to observe and figure things out at his own pace. With patience, consistency, and gentle encouragement, you'll see his walls slowly come down &#194&#151 and that's when the magic happens. Once Rusty warms up, he absolutely loves attention from his people. Soft pets and gentle affection mean everything to him. The connection you build with Rusty won't be surface-level &#194&#151 it will be the kind rooted in trust and loyalty. He's dog friendly and enjoys the company of other pups, which can help him continue building confidence. He's also discovering the joy of toys and learning how to play &#194&#151 watching him figure it out and let loose is incredibly rewarding. Rusty is looking for a steady heart and a peaceful home where he can continue to grow into the amazing dog he's meant to be. If you're willing to give him the time he needs, he'll give you a bond like no other. If you are interested in rusty, please fill out an application at www.tahoewarf.orgMarch 7, 2026, 6:25 pm

Story
Finn is a 1-year-old shepherd mix who looks like a mini German Shepherd, weighing about 40lbs of pure energy and personality. If you've ever wanted a dog who lives life at full speed, Finn is your guy. He is extremely playful and gets the zoomies at the drop of a hat&#194&#151seriously, blink and you might miss him flying past. Finn can jump impressively high (think springs for legs), so he'll thrive in a home that enjoys active play, training, and keeping both his body and brain busy. Finn also has a naturally protective streak and is very aware of his surroundings, making him a loyal companion who takes his job of watching over his people seriously. With the right guidance and structure, that protectiveness can shine as confidence and devotion. Finn is dog selective and would do best with slow, thoughtful introductions to other dogs. He is not a fan of cats, so a cat-free home is a must. This smart, athletic boy would be happiest with an adopter who understands shepherd-type dogs and is ready to channel his energy into positive outlets like training, games, and adventures. In return, Finn will give you endless laughs, fierce loyalty, and a front-row seat to the best zoomies show in town. If you're looking for a fun, fast, and devoted best friend, Finn is ready to leap (literally) into your life. If you are interested in meeting Finn, please fill out an application at www.tahoewarf.org and text 775-338-6631 or 775-846-3773.March 7, 2026, 6:25 pm

Story
Smokey is the kind of dog who turns ordinary days into full-on adventures. At just 2&#194&#1503 years old, this goofy shepherd mix is all heart, all legs, and all zoom. He's got the most entertaining ears you've ever seen &#194&#151 one stands tall like he's on neighborhood watch, and the other flops over like it just gave up halfway. This big, lovable goofball has energy for days. Toss a ball once, and congratulations &#194&#151 you've just signed up for a very enthusiastic game of fetch that Smokey is convinced should never end. He would thrive with an active family who enjoys walks and playtime. If dogs could power cities, Smokey would have your electric bill covered Despite his high-octane play style, Smokey is a total sweetheart. He truly has never met a stranger. Because of his size and enthusiasm, he'd do best in a home with older children. The best part? Smokey's adaptable nature means he settles in beautifully once he understands the routine. After he's had his fun, he's more than happy to relax and hang out with his people. He's also crate trained! If you're looking for a loyal, silly, ball-obsessed best friend who will keep you laughing and moving, Smokey is ready to bring his mismatched ears and giant heart straight into your life.March 7, 2026, 6:25 pm
