Story

Big dog lovers, this is your guy! Doakes is a German Shepherd/Poodle mix who will win your heart with his charm and cuddle skills. He thinks he’s a lap dog, but you’ll also find him patrolling the fence line for intruders before settling in to play. Don’t let that deep bark throw you off, he’s a gentle giant with tons of patience for even the yappiest of little dogs. Doakes knows basic commands, walks on a leash, and is housebroken. This smart boy figured out how to ring the bells to go outside within the first day. He’s curious and chill, but loves a good ball toss game. A fenced yard is an exploration waiting to happen. He’s gonna need a bold arm for those walks, however, as he is super strong. With a little work to stop the tugs, he’ll be your best walking buddy ever. The neighborhood kids have been in and out and he loves them all, but watch out! He loves to give hugs and doesn’t realize he is taller than them when standing. A gentle “off” and he’s happy to just get pets. This boy knows how to obey! Not tested with cats, but his foster home’s little dogs are basically cats that bark and he would probably be fine. He is crate trained, but prefers to be by your side. Or on top of you. There is no such thing as personal space with him. He does tend to be a little anxious in his crate, especially if you are still within ear shot. Treat filled Kongs are a good distraction to keep him calm. At 4 years of age, Doakes has a lot of life left in him, but he is not a solitary soul. He is best around people or dogs and loves to get as much as he gives.

Story

🖤 Looking for the Perfect Forever Home – Meet Canela 🐾Canela is a beautiful 6-year-old German Shepherd. She came into rescue after her owner’s work situation changed, leaving her spending long hours alone outside. Because she loves people so much and wanted attention, she began jumping the 4-foot fence in search of new friends. A kind neighbor kept her safe until her owner made the difficult decision to surrender her so she could find a home where she’d get the time, love, and companionship she deserves.Here is what her foster writes about Canela:"Over the time we’ve fostered Canela, we’ve fallen in love with what an amazing dog she truly is. She is incredibly loyal, affectionate, and happiest when she’s with her people. She loves to cuddle, sleeps in bed with us, and proudly carries around her stuffed animals like they’re treasures. Canela is smart and eager to learn. She rides great in the truck, walks well on a leash, and enjoys running in a fenced yard. She can comfortably stay in her own room for 8+ hours if needed, although a home where someone works from home would be a wonderful bonus. She has interacted well with neighborhood kids and can do well with other dogs when given slow, proper introductions. She is not cat-friendly and has a high prey drive, so she’ll need a cat-free home. She can be food aggressive, so she should always be fed separately."Canela is spayed and up to date in vaccines. Canela has pannus, a chronic eye condition common in German Shepherds, that is easily managed with a simple daily eye ointment. She is very compliant to get that done!Canela would thrive in a home that offers:🐾 An active lifestyle with daily exercise and mental stimulation🐾 Structure, consistency, and continued training🐾 A fenced yard to safely burn off energy while continuing to work on recall and leash skills🐾 Someone with German Shepherd or other working breed experience🐾 Lots of love and time with her peopleIn return, you’ll have one of the most loyal, loving, and devoted companions you could ask for.We know the perfect family is out there for this sweet girl. Apply to meet Canela at ricopetrecovery.org. The adoption fee for Canela is $200.

Meet Harley Quinn! ❤️Harley Quinn is a sweet, affectionate 5 year old shepherd mix looking for someone willing to give her the structure and guidance she hasn’t had before.

When she’s unsure of what’s expected of her, she can become anxious, but she responds very well to calm leadership, routine, and positive reinforcement. She’s eager to connect with her person and wants to do the right thing—she just needs someone to show her how. Harley is very smart and treat-motivated, so with an experienced owner, she should be very receptive to training.She’s potty trained and crate trained. She does well on a leash with everyday handling and rides well in a car.Harley is excellent with other dogs and has a gentle, nurturing personality around them. She almost has a “mom” energy, often choosing to calmly coexist rather than create excitement. She has not been tested with cats or children, so slow, thoughtful introductions would be recommended.Harley will thrive with someone who understands dogs, is patient, and is committed to continuing her training and building her confidence.Apply to meet Harley at ricopetrecovery.org.The adoption fee for Harley is $200
