Story
I have never posted anything like this, but I am looking for a bit of a New Years miracle. I have a friend who has asked me to help rehome her 10yo female German Shepherd. Do not let her age deter you though. She has is still very puppy like with no health issues! Leyla is a well behaved, house broken, and great with humans dog. She would have to be the only critter in your home as she does not get along with other animals but makes up for it with her sweet and loving demeaner to her humans. She has been well cared for but just needs a new home because the family is moving to a place that does not allow pets. If you, or anyone you know, would be interested please reach out. Happy to answer any questions. My friend does not want to take her to a shelter as she is worried she may not have a successful venture because of her diva behavior with other dogs. Her adoption fee really is $0. We just want her to go to a good home! Please help!

Story
Meet Rocko –   Rocko is a handsome, spirited German shepherd who’s ready to find his forever home! This guy is the total package for an experienced shepherd-savvy human. Rocko loves to go hiking, on long walks, playing fetch, and riding shotgun on errands with the windows down. At the end of the day, he’ll happily curl up on the couch with you and soak up love.  Rocko is housebroken and well-mannered in a home. He knows basic commands and thrives with structure and consistency.  NOTE: Rocko will require a confident, experienced shepherd owner who can provide the leadership and engagement he craves.  He is not a fan of cats and would do best in a feline-free home.

Do you love everything about baby German shepherds?? Meet Macaroni! Macaroni wandered into a kind persons yard near a park where a lot of dogs get dumped! Macaroni is a German shepherd mix! He’s around 8 months old & is sooo sweet! He loves other dogs & would love to have a dog friend in his forever home! Macaroni is a little bit shy but other dogs give him confidence!! Macaroni loves snuggles & will hop on the couch & sneak a kiss or two!! He loves to sneak a kiss on an unsuspecting person’s ear!! Apply to adopt this cutie today! All of our dogs are spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, microchipped and if over 6 months of age, heartworm tested and on heartworm preventative in their foster home. We require an approved application to meet any of our dogs. We do not have a shelter location and will not arrange a meeting without an approved application. We strive to make sure the bios provided for our dogs are complete and accurate; we do understand that mistakes happen, however, so if you absolutely cannot find the answer to your question in the dog's bio, you can contact us for more information. We require a home visit for each dog we adopt out, so we adopt within a 2 hour radius of Dayton, OH. If you are outside of this radius, we encourage you to contact your local rescue or shelter.   December 14, 2025, 11:23 pm
