Story
Meet **Pearl**, a 2-year-old mixed-breed beauty with a heart of gold once she gets to know you! Pearl can be a little unsure of new people at first, but with patience and a few treats, she quickly shows her loving, playful side. She can be selective with other dogs, so a proper introduction is important. Pearl has also lived with children, though a home without very young kids would be best so she can feel comfortable and relaxed. Once she feels safe, Pearl is full of affection, joy, and a playful spirit that shines bright. She’s looking for a kind, understanding family ready to give her the love and security she deserves.

Story
Karla is a 5 year old, black German Shepherd mix. She is exceptionally smart and does amazingly well with her training. Karla will need a kind, committed, confident and active person who can channel her energy and drive and allow her to be the magnificent friend we know she is. She is a lean 50 pounds. Here is the tricky part - Karla does not like strangers, and sometimes other dogs. Karla takes a long time to warm up, and as such she cannot go home with just anyone. She is protective of her people, so she will need a home where this is respected. An experienced dog owner is a must. Shepherd experience is a plus. If you are interested in meeting this wonderful dog (she really is a sweetheart once she knows you!), please fill out an adoption application. Karla had a DNA test and she is: 46% German Shepherd Dog 32% American Pit Bull Terrier 9% Rottweiler 5% Dalmatian 4% American Staffordshire Terrier 2% White Swiss Shepherd 1% Belgian Sheepdog 1% Bohemian Shepherd Dog Karla is housetrained!
