Male or female? Male Approximate Age: 5 Breed: German Shepherd Weight: 80 lb Any impairments: None Potty trained? Yes Crate trained? Yes Good with other dogs? On a case by case basis Good with cats? No Good with kids? No kids younger than teens Commands known: Sit, down, heel, come, left and right when running Needs fenced in yard? No Need another dog in the home? No Location: Galena, OH Energy level (high/med/low)? Med   Bio: Woody is your quintessential German Shepherd — loyal, intelligent, and eager to bond deeply with his person. He’s around 5 years old, weighs about 80 pounds, and is ready to find his forever home. He came to Speak almost two years ago after his previous owners could no longer provide the life he deserved. Since then, Woody and his sibling, Hayes, have been in foster and boarding care. While it was once thought the two were bonded, Woody has shown he’s ready to thrive on his own. Woody takes a little time to warm up to new people — it took about two weeks for him to trust his foster fully — but once he does, he’s incredibly loyal and affectionate. He loves to follow his person around, and if you stay still long enough, he’ll curl up nearby to keep you company. He’s a bit under socialized with both people and other dogs, but he’s made great progress. He’s done wonderfully being separated from his sibling and now enjoys a more home-like environment. Woody has minimal reactivity when given calm, clear communication. Like most Shepherds, he’ll bark at strangers behind a fence or door, but it’s short-lived and easily managed. Woody craves structure, consistency, and plenty of head rubs. He enjoys chewing on sticks and toys but isn’t too interested in chasing balls or flirt poles. His previous foster ran with him regularly. He also LOVES to swim and would happily spend the day splashing around. Woody would do best with someone experienced with German Shepherds who can provide clear leadership and an active lifestyle. A home with space to roam and explore would make him happiest. He’s untested with cats and small animals, and while he might do well with a calm, established female dog, proper introductions will be important. Training Perks:Woody comes with three free 1-on-1 training sessions from Wolfman’s Canines, plus a $1,000 training voucher toward a 4-week Board & Train program — which also includes three additional follow-up sessions! Woody is neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccines/prevention and being fostered in Galena, Ohio. If you’re looking for a loyal, intelligent companion with a steady heart, Woody might be your perfect match, please complete an adoption application found at www.speakfortheunspoken.com/adopt ##2248125##

On a case by case basis Good with cats? No Good with kids? No kids younger than teens Commands known: Sit, down, stand, come Needs fenced in yard? No Need another dog in the home? No Location: Galena, OH Energy level (high/med/low)? Med   Bio: Hayes is your classic female German Shepherd — intelligent, devoted, and full of love once she feels safe. At around 5 years old, 70 pounds, she’s ready to find the person she can finally call her own. Hayes and her non-bonded sibling, Woody, were surrendered by their previous owners. Since they arrived at Wolfman’s Canines in July and have made incredible progress through structured training and socialization. It took about two weeks — plus a little patience and some mild behavior meds — for Hayes to trust her foster, but once she did, she became an affectionate little shadow. She’s incredibly loving and happiest when she’s right by your side (think “stage 5 clinger,” but in the sweetest way ). She much prefers human companionship over hanging out with other dogs. Hayes doesn’t have a ton of toy drive but will play a light game of fetch now and then. She hasn’t had direct introductions with unfamiliar dogs yet, though she’s done fine seeing them through a fence. With proper communication, she could likely coexist with a calm, established male or even a young puppy. She’s crate trained and comfortable in long-term confinement, though a sturdy crate is recommended at first while she settles into her new home.  Hayes walks nicely on leash and loves following her person around the 10,000 sq. ft. training arena. She thrives on structure, affection, and consistency —she absolutely LOVES to swim! ‍ Hayes would do best with someone experienced with German Shepherds who can offer patience, leadership, and an active lifestyle with room to run and roam. She’s untested with cats and small animals. Training Perks:Hayes comes with three FREE 1-on-1 training sessions from Wolfman’s Canines, plus a $1,000 training voucher toward a 4-week Board & Train program — which also includes three additional follow-up sessions! If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion who’ll be your shadow through every adventure, Hayes is ready to meet you.   She is spayed, microchipped and up to date on vaccines.
