Story
Renee is a 9-month-old German Shepherd/Pit Bull mix who has quickly become one of our absolute favorites here at the shelter — and it’s easy to see why! This girl is the full package: highly intelligent, full of energy, and incredibly eager to learn. She catches on to new commands quickly and thrives with mental stimulation and structure. Renee loves to hike, run, and explore — she’s always up for an adventure! Renee would make an amazing companion for an active person or family who’s ready to match her energy and continue her training. She’s the kind of dog who will be your ride-or-die adventure buddy, your hiking pal, and your loyal best friend all in one.

Story
*THIS POST IS FOR 2 DOGS* My dogs are brother and sister not spayed or neutered they will be 7 in july i believe. They have papers. They are great dogs they do have a tendency to chew stuff up sometimes when left alone. They are crate trained and find there crates to be their safe place they have been house broken and are let out twice a day. The male excitement/nervous pees sometimes. They have never growled or snarled at me or my son ever. They are great with guests once they know they are wanted guests. Best security system ever. They shed a ton of hair. And require a special kind of food soy wheat and legume free food. They will run if let loose I use tie off cables to let them out. They are amazing dogs I am expecting a child and cannot keep up with the dog hair. One of them needs to be fixed because at all costs they cannot be aloud to breed together. They really are amazing but need someone experienced who can keep up with them please help me find them a forever home.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. I am Calvin, Cal for short. I am a big goofy gentle giant of  6 years and 102 pounds. I never grew out of the loving puppy mode, I came into Roses Rescue because my original family, although they loved me, couldn't care for me anymore. I am allergic to poultry and corn - they give me ear infections. So I have been put on a food where salmon is the main protein. It is delicious!!! I have been getting a squirt of salmon oil on my food, too, It is going to help my coat get soft and shiny.I may still have chronic ear issues, because they were not taken care of for so long. I am very agreeable to massaging and touching my ears. It feels so good. They are doing blood work on me because I have suddenly begun to lose weight. My foster mommy is praying it isn’t cancer and that I am not in a hospice situation.  More blood work will me done soon.   My two favorite things in the world are being around people and playing fetch. I will bring my toy to you and drop it at your feet for you to throw again and again and again. I an not at all fond of cats, but I get along great with other dogs. Right now my best pal is a little Frenchie. We run around the back yard together. I love playing with kids, too, but, because of my size they need to be older kids. I don't want to accidentally knock anyone over.  I need a fenced in yard because that is what I am used to. I do not have a lot of experience on a leash or getting in and out of a car. I am crate trained and potty trained. However,  I don't need to be crated because I can be trusted alone. Do you have room in your heart and home for this big ol' lover boy? I have lots of room in my heart for YOU. I am truly a gentle giant. Lets meet!   Fenced yard and German shepherd experience/knowledge preferred please.
