Story

Meet Ellie a sweet, loving, smart, playful three month old Female German Shepherd. She is doing great with potty training and we are starting her on some basic commands. She is still getting used to being on a leash but doing great. She can be a little timid with new people at first but once she gets to know you she is good. She loves to play with her foster brothers and loves being outside playing in the yard. She will make a wonderful addition! A fenced yard will be required to adopt Ellie. If you are interested in meeting her, please go to petresqinc.org to fill out an adoption application.July 26, 2024, 4:03 pm

Maverick

German Shepherd Dog

Size

House-trained,

Story

My daughter purchased Maverick from a breeder as a 12 weeks old puppy while she was a senior in college. He lived with her and 5 other girls while they attended school and worked. He turned 1 yr old on the 4th of July. Unfortunately, he spent a lot of time in the crate and did not get much socialization. He is fully house trained and knows some of the basics with obedience. We need to rehome him because he does not get along with my 9 yr old male Hound mix. Not really any fault of Maverick, my other dog is just old and does not want to play like he does. He is afraid of most people so finding a new home has been challenging. We have entered him in a professional 10 week training program to help this whole process. We would love to find him a new owner that could come along to the training with us, and eventually adopt him.

WINTER-URGENT FOSTER NEEDED!

German Shepherd Dog

Female, Adult

Sussex, NJ

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

House-trained,

Story

This girl is in danger of being euthanized due to not being able to get along with only one of the 4 dogs at her current temporary home. Her name is Winter and her mom has been out of work and is living with a relative who will not tolerate Winter staying there and not getting along with one of the 3 other dogs. Not her fault. Jealously is rampant with her as the odd dog out since she came there to live a month ago. Winter is the sweetest and most loyal white German Shepherd who is just barely 2 years old and weighs 65 pounds. She is healthy and happy and would love to be in a more relaxed and welcoming environment. Her mom took her in a year ago from another family who could not keep her. This girl would be the best companion to someone that wants the love of the smart and intelligent Shepherd breed. She is housebroken, crate trained and totally, totally trained in all commands. Her owner who must stay in this home due to homelessness has been told to euthanize her if she cannot find a place for her to go by August 1st. The shelters are full and Critter Cavalry Rescue can help her if we can find a foster home or even better yet a forever home. URGENT! This is not a bluff. The man of the house will take her to the vet and put her down. Please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com or text us at 615-661-5333 PLEASE NOTE: Our dogs are transported from Tennessee to meeting places in the states where we have posted. Further information about us is given on our Adopt-A-Pet site. The adoption fees vary and will be provided as well as noted on the application you receive.
