Story
Meet Chardonnay — a total sweetheart with a gentle guardian heart. This loving girl has earned the nickname “little shadow” because she adores her people and likes to stay close, quietly keeping an eye on everything. True to her German Shepherd roots, Chardonnay is alert and aware but calm and affectionate, happiest when she’s near her humans (preferably within belly-rub range).She loves being outdoors, especially long sniffy walks, and enjoys light play like tug-of-war. While not a high-energy pup, she thrives with regular walks and a predictable routine. Chardonnay walks beautifully on leash, isn’t reactive to other dogs, and is more curious than bothered by the world around her.Food isn’t her love language—she’s a bit of a polite, picky eater—but structure and consistency help her shine. She’s doing great with house training, sleeps soundly in her crate at night, and is learning to signal when it’s time to go out.Protective but quick to relax once she knows all is well, Chardonnay is a loyal, loving companion who would flourish in a home that offers routine, affection, and time together. If you’re looking for a devoted sidekick with a soft soul, she may be your perfect match.

Lyra is so sweet, and a quick learner. She is a big foodie! Loves people, she seems fine around other dogs. But has not been exposed to many due to her needing to complete her shots. I will provide her entire shot record, which includes rabies, all of her toys and her crate (castle) I also have a cot that will go to her new home with her that can serve as her “stay” place

Story
We are temporarily fostering a German Shepherd/Lab mix. He was surrendered to us so that he would not go to the pound. The owner's circumstances changed and were devastated they could not keep their pet. We unfortunately cannot keep him due to our schedules but would love to find him a loving and amazing home. He used to be crated all day every day so he does well in a crate as needed but we do not crate him. We will give his crate, food container, toys, etc that were given to us. He is gentle with kids, great with other dogs, not food or dog aggressive, does not walk you, silly, cuddly and just wants attention. He is always smiling. He is a little talkative but not overly. He would be amazing with a family with kids, single person, newly married couple or retired couple. He will be 5 in January. If you or someone you know wants him, please let us know. He really is a sweet dog. He has basic training and has great recall. He came to us overweight but is losing weight easily.
