Story
Lily is a sweet, smart, and beautifully calm 13-week-old Long-Haired German Shepherd looking for her forever home! Lily has a wonderfully chill temperament. She enjoys short bursts of play followed by peaceful rest, and she is already showing the gentle, loyal nature the GSD breed is known for. She is highly trainable and eager to please; she is currently working through basic commands and picking them up quickly, because that's just who she is. She is also already potty trained, and communicates in the most classic shepherd way: waiting patiently at the door and looking up at you until you get the message. 🐾 Lily is a natural shadow and a born cuddle companion. She will happily follow you from room to room, content just to be near her people. A home with a spacious yard where she can stretch her legs and explore would be her ideal setting. If you are interested in Lily, please share a little about your living situation, your lifestyle, and what you are hoping for in a dog.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Online Adoption Application › 6/14/2026: Hi I’m back unfortunately, as I am growing up I have decided I no longer like the resident cat and my adopter could not make it work so here I am looking for a forever home with out a cat.  My estimated DOB is 12/2025.  Back story: My sister and I were surrendered to Rowan County shelter and were pulled by Pawfect Match Rescue with only minutes to spare!  We had a rough start and are Parvo survivors.  My sister has been adopted and now I am just waiting for my furever home.    I am learning how to love and cuddle in my new foster home.  Watch this space for updates on my personality.  Pupdate: Hi, Foster Mom here, I recently took over fostering sweet Abileen.  Wow what a good girl.  Abileen knows sit, takes treats gently.  Loves cats and other dogs. She mostly loves people.   She is my little shadow as I work from home. She will lay next to my desk on her bed and play with a toy.  If I get up she's following me.  She is so close to being fully potty trained but is still a puppy and needs to be watched for signs on needing to go outside.  She does not love a crate but does go in willingly and at night for bedtime quiets quickly.  She is not a barker unless she hears other dogs bark.  She is just the sweetest, cuddliest beautiful little girl.  She is obviously a fighter and strong as she fought Parvo and has a clean bill of health now ready for her furever home with you!!!    ************************************************************************ The adoption fee is $400, which covers food, vetting, microchip and the spay/neuter surgery performed by a rescue-affiliated vet.  All dogs receive a wellness visit and are up to date on shots appropriate for age.  Breed and size is Pawfect Match Rescue's best guess and not guaranteed. Please go to https://www.pawfectmatch.org/animals/search? and search on the dog name to see more photos, browse the profile, and complete an application Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.June 15, 2026, 7:06 pm
