Story

Manny was born July 17, 2024. We adopted him the end of September 2024. He is a pure breed German Shepherd, current on all vaccines and currently still intact. Manny lives with 6 kids, two dogs and three cats. He believes he is a small dog I think, he was raised with two little dogs who still intimidate him even though they are a fraction of his size now. I believe he has fear aggression and lacks confidence. I am not an experienced dog trainer and with 6 kids I never will be. I cannot take him anywhere without a muzzle and we cannot have anyone to our home without locking him up. This brakes my heart. He is so kind, and goofy with us, but the minute he sees a stranger instant fear, retreat but also real aggression. He needs someone who can help him build confidence, teach him to not be afraid, that people just want to play with him. He is incredibly smart and still young so there is hope! If I had the time and the money I would do it, I just do not. Someone please help Manny.

Charli 9 mos ,german shepherd mix, very puppy. She is very sweet & loveable. She will cuddle with you & sleep with you to keep you warm. Very active , so a home with kids and a active life style would be great. She knows commands & is housebroke. I got her as a rehome . I thought I would be able to keep up with her & have time. But that didnt work out for us. So if you looking for a loving dog she might just be the one. 50.00 rehoming fee.

Male, Puppy

North Olmsted, OH

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with dogs, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Wiley, (named for the infamous cartoon character Wile E. Coyote!), came to us from the CLE city kennel where he found himself as a stray. Sadly, no one came looking for him, but he didn't let that rough patch get him down! Wiley's mission in life is to find a lap worthy of all-day occupation! Forget weighted blankets, Wiley is a self-heating, portable cuddle buddy guaranteed to increase your happiness! This sweet little goofball operates on two settings; ON (hope you like zoomies!), and OFF. He's basically a semi-professional napper, and if he's sleeping, it's ideally on you! Wiley's resume includes elite level cuddling, advanced tail wagging, and the ability to turn his entire body into a wiggly pretzel when he sees humans. He's currently learning how to adult, and is working hard on basic obedience, crate and house training 101. He's still mastering the practicals, but the effort is there and it counts! He's smart, eager to please, and extremely food motivated, so we know he'll eventually graduate at the top of his class! Wiley loves every dog and person he meets, and views everyone and everything as a potential new best friend. He loves kisses and belly rubs, and while in his enthusiasm he sometimes forgets proper etiquette, he means well and is ready to find the perfect family who will continue to work with him to help him become the little gentleman we know he can be! Wiley is roughly 4 months old, currently 20 lbs, and we guesstimate that he'll be around 45 lbs fully grown. He's up to date on vaccines, microchipped, dewormed, current on flea/tick/heartworm prevention, and is scheduled to be neutered mid-December. His adoption fee is $450.

Diesel

German Shepherd Dog

Male, Young

North Olmsted, OH

Size

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

Details

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet Diesel! Diesel is German Shepherd born 5/24/23, so he is just over 2 years old. He is a bigger boy weighing about 90 pounds. TRI works with saving many breeding dogs. To our knowledge, Diesel was not used as a breeding dog but was a family dog of a breeder's extended family. Diesel was already neutered upon arrival. He was an outside dog and came to us with a female bernadoodle who has already found her forever home. Here are some facts about Diesel: ⛽️ Friendly and sweet ⛽️ Housetrained ⛽️ Crate trained and does well in boarding facility ⛽️ True to breed, will need regular grooming / brushing ⛽️ Has been in training over the past 6 weeks with our training team at Dog Gone Crazy. He knows basic commands, practices agility basics such as the ladder, and walks well on leash. ⛽️ Diesel bonds with both men and women. He seems to be a ladies man and really like gals. He would do best with adult owners who are familiar with German Shepherds. ⛽️ Diesel is good with all humans, but we think an adult only home would be best for our guy. If you think Diesel may be a match for you, email us at therescueinn@gmail.com AND complete an adoption application on our website (use a computer, not a phone or IPad): https://therescueinn.com/adoption-application.html

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

I have not met a more social pup than Sahara! This girl is all about having a good time with her humans and doggies :D She greets you with a jump or a hug. If you lower your face to hers, she thinks nothing of lathering your face with kisses. She also loves to randomly hug you. She is adoringly affectionate! Sahara is the same with dogs. She loves all dogs. She gets into crazy plays with them. She has been known to shape shift through openings in fences or gates to play with the neighborhood dogs 🤦 She has a love for exploration. She must be a Sagittarius 😊 She has a mostly reliable recall so that’s a huge relief! On walks, she pulls initially because she is so excited to be out and about but she does calm down minutes into the walk. She loves her walks. This girl is a natural explorer. She is a curious girl. Sahara is indifferent to toys. She prefers to be engaging with her humans and doggie friends. She gets excited when you get excited even though she has no idea what the excitement is about. She hops around like a crazy girl because you are happy about something 🤦 Sahara takes treats nicely. She sits and waits for them. Sahara does well in a crate. She keeps a clean crate. Sahara is about 5 years old, 60lb GSD mix. She is looking for a semi-active family with a playful resident dog(s) that she can be besties with. Older children who like to engage with her will make her very happy. Sahara is an ideal family pup.
