Bear

German Shepherd Dog

Female, Young

Hamilton, OH

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,

Story

Bear is a 16 month old pure white, female, 77 lb German Shepherd, & is part of a bonded pair- (see Kai 's info). She is up to date on her shots, spayed, crate trained, & potty trained. She loves cuddling, playing with toys, chewing her marrow bones, & playing with her sister, Kai outside in her large fenced yard. Bear is humble, sweet, & thrives on attention from her human. She loves being outside, & especially playing in the snow. She looked like a polar bear cub, so Bear became her name . Unfortunately along with Kai, she has become progressively more aggressive toward my small dogs in the household which requires her to be re-homed. Bear's forever home would be a home with her sister Kai, a fenced yard, & a loving household with no small dogs or cats. She is fine with other large dogs. If you decide to adopt both Bear & Kai I will include a large four by eight foot kennel. Bear & Kai are loving, well socialized dogs & need you to give them your heart & a forever home.

Story

Kai is a black & cream 16 month old female German Shepherd who is part of a bonded pair (see Bear's info) . Kai, 75 lbs., has her shots, is spayed, microchipped. Kai loves people, loves to cuddle, & share her favorite toy with you or play keep away from her sister, Bear. Although raised with small dogs & cats she has become more aggressive toward my small dogs in the household which is reason for re-homing.Enjoys chasing cats, but when caught she licks & tugs on them which kitties don't like. The ideal home for Kai is one with no small dogs or cats. She also loves being outside so a large fenced yard is a must. I know she would also like to be adopted with her sister, Bear if at all possible. They are best friends, sisters, & litter mates. If you decide to adopt both Kai & Bear, I will include a large four foot by eight foot kennel. If you have no small dogs or cats, & a large fenced yard, please consider offering Kai (& hopefully Bear) her forever home. Thank you.

Story

Say Hi to Onyx!This sweet girl has had quite a journey. She is a 4 year old German Shepherd whose life started in an Amish puppy mill. Onyx had been used for breeding until she was discarded. Thankfully she made her way to us so her healing journey could begin. She was a shell of a dog when she arrived. So terrified of humans she would just cower in her crate and never want to leave. She spent several months in our prison training program and found GREAT success! Our handlers did a wonderful job teaching her that humans are loving. Onyx has learned her basic obedience skills and proven she is very smart! She is hesitant in new situations, but sooo much better than when she came. She has moved to a foster home and is doing great! She enjoys being with the other dogs, running around in the backyard, rolling in the grass and is so ready for her next chapter. Her ideal home would have a fenced in backyard, another dog or 2 to show her the ropes and patient owners who understand she will need time to adjust. Even in her fear Onyx has never shown any aggression! She wants to trust and be part of the family. She is spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccines and HW negative. She is crate trained, leash trained, knows her basic obedience and is potty trained. If you are interested in adding Onyx to your family and finally giving her the happily ever after she deserves, please visit our website and complete an adoption application: https://www.prodogsohio.org/adoptables ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We appreciate your support, in order to help us continue to rescue dogs! Donations can be made via our PayPal account - info@prodogsohio.org. You must be willing to commute to the location that the pet is being fostered in order to be eligible to adopt. We do not ship our pets. We also require that you personally bring the pet back to us should the adoption not work out. We do NOT negotiate adoption fees.
