Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Max is a very handsome boy who is in need of a new home. Max is now in a foster home in NJ but needs a new foster. Max was surrendered to the shelter when his elderly owner could no longer care for him. He would be best as the only dog in the home.  Max might do ok living with certain other dogs, an older, lazy companion who would not get in his face but would need a slow introduction since he doesn't like every dog he meets. Max may do best as your one and only but he is not overly reactive in public.  Max is a loving boy who is smart and receptive to training. He loves his foster family and has displayed some protective behaviors, as typical for a German Shepherd. He needs a little manners on how to take treats gently, but we are working on that. Max is not compatible with small dogs, cats or kids. Max is fixed,   microchipped and up to date on rabies, DHPP and Bordetella vaccines. He tested negative for heartworm. Max has a surgery previously to re-route his bladder. He is fully recovered and doing well. This condition is not anticipated to cause further health concerns. His adoption fee will be $450.

Rudy - Special Home Needed!

German Shepherd Dog

Male, Senior
Oakhurst, NJ
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. wagoninn.rescuegroups.org Rudy is now in NJ. Rudy came from the Wolf Pond Sanctuary in rural Mississippi. Wolf Pond Sanctuary is closing and all of the remaining dogs need a place to go asap.  Rudy was been at the Sanctuary for his whole life in an outdoor kennel with a concrete floor. He has never known the inside of a house, the warmth of a fireplace, the comfort of his persons bed until now.  Rudy will need a gentle, patient person willing to put some time and effort in to teaching him the joys of being a pampered pet. He will need to learn housebreaking but crate training will be a breeze. He will need to learn to trust humans as Rudy is a shy, timid boy who was never properly socialized. Rudy is a flight risk based on his nature and lack of socialization and will require special precautions (martingale collar, leash to collar and harness, caution around doors and when exiting vehicles).   Rudy is dog friendly. He used to live with Tinsel who is in our care here in NJ. Rudy did well on his cat test. Based on his timid nature, he will likely do well with and find comfort in other animals. No small kids for Rudy and a quiet home would be best. Rudy is fixed and up to date on vaccines & microchipped.   Rudy tested negative for heartworm. His adoption fee is $300.    How to Adopt Me!

Story
Kali is a 2 yr old German Shepherd mix.

Kali would do best in a home where someone is home most of the time.  She likes to be in the company of her people and is an excellent watch dog. Kali is spayed, up-to-date on all her shots and microchipped.  She has been patiently waiting for a new family.  She would make the perfect companion for a family with adults only or older children who understands the German Shepherd breed.
