Story
Alpha got to spend the day out of the shelter on a date! He did great! He loved having his head out of the window and feeling the breeze on his face.This is how his date described the day: `We went to many different places! We went to Dorostkar Park, then Crystal Peak Park in Verdi, then In-N-Out for a pup patty, and we cruised around a little to let him feel the wind. He had so much speed in him and he let us know when he wanted to leave by taking us back to the car. He pulled a little but nothing too crazy. I noticed he already knew how to sit and shake, and did it first try! He followed his nose the whole way and we let him lead.` What a great experience for Alpha and his date.

Story
I'm a 6-year-old German Shepherd who's been loved for 5 years, but my human's job relocated us from Colorado and now he works 12-hour days, 6 days a week. I'm stuck in an apartment or crate all day, and my family knows I deserve better. About Me: I'm loyal and intelligent - a true German Shepherd. I'll bark when new people enter my space, but after a simple introduction, I'm great with adults and kids. I love swimming, fetch, and chasing toys. I'm well-trained, healthy, and excellent with other dogs. I actually prefer having dog companions and don't like being alone. What I Need: An active family with space to run and play - not an apartment. A fenced yard would be perfect. I'd love a home with another dog or two. I need people who have time for me and understand that playing is just part of who I am. Photos & Videos Available: My family has tons of footage of me at dog parks, swimming, on boats, and with people and dogs. We're selective - not desperate. I deserve the perfect match
