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!

Meet AJ, a 2-month-old German Shepherd mix with a bright mind and an even brighter future.

AJ loves to play, explore the yard, and investigate every toy like it’s his most important mission of the day. He’s affectionate and enjoys being close to his people, happily soaking up attention after a good round of puppy zoomies. With structure, consistency, and lots of love, AJ is going to grow into a devoted, intelligent best friend who will be right by your side through it all. AJ will be debuting and ready for adoption starting Wednesday, March 4th. If you’re ready to welcome this sweet shepherd mix into your family, head to happylifeanimalrescue.org and register for adoption. That’s your first step toward giving AJ the happy life he deserves — and bringing home a loyal companion for years to come. 🐾
