He does great at the groomers! ❤️ Crate trained and potty trained 🖤 Wonderful with humans of all ages ❤️ Is looking for a home as the only dog. He is currently in boarding with dogs all around him and does well seeing other nice canine friends.

Story
Zara joined our family at 8 weeks old after we adopted her from our local APL, where she was already spayed. At the time, my job allowed me to bring her to work with me, so she grew up very well socialized and comfortable around people from a young age. She has always been surrounded by family and companionship. Zara is a German Shepherd/Australian Cattle Dog mix—smart, loyal, and high energy. She loves being around her people and does best with structure and purpose. She has lived with cats and has never been aggressive toward them, though her herding instincts do cause her to chase and fixate on them at times. Zara is the only dog in our home but has done well with other dogs in the past. She previously spent time around multiple dogs and generally got along well, though she does best with calm, structured dogs and proper introductions. She loves walks, activity, and having a job. Zara was trained through Sit Means Sit and knows commands as heel, sit, wait, paw, roll over, and go.

Story
Penny is a 5 year old (10/13/20) purebred German Shepard, obtained from a breeder. Had 10 weeks of obedience training and responds to commands, does not pull on the leash during walks and can walk off leash. She loves to cuddle and give kisses and is incredibly sweet. She doesn't cause trouble when we're not home and can be left a long time without going to the bathroom. She loves to play fetch/catch, tug of war. Very smart, likes puzzle toys. Does not chew anything other than her toys (not even our kids toys). She doesn't eat food off the table/counter/plate on your lap. We are looking to rehome her because she recently bit our 3 year old (who was grabbing her food bowl). The bite didn't require medical attention, but we have an infant also and can't risk future incidents. Until this point, she had been very sweet with both kids. She can be aggressive with other dogs. Was mostly good with our cat but showed some aggression. She is an amazing companion, she just needs the right home.
