Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Online Adoption Application › Welcome back Archer to DASH. This beautiful German Shepherd boy was adopted as a puppy from DASH, but due to changes in the home and through no fault of his own, he now finds himself back at DASH looking for his forever home. This boy loves everyone and is very affectionate. If he could, he would play fetch with his favorite ball all day long. He is crate trained, house trained and just an overall wonderful dog. He does get along with other dogs, but would also be great as your one and only. He is very high energy and is still working on his leash manners, something his new forever home would need to continue to work with him on. He would be great for an active family or person who possibly has GSD breed experience and is willing to give him the attention and structure he needs. If you would like to meet or adopt this handsome fella, the first step is to complete the adoption application on our website at: https://dashrescue.rescuegroups.org/info/adoption  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.July 14, 2025, 3:12 pm

Say hello to DINO! This bundle of joy came into the rescue and stole everyone’s heart immediately. His kind endearing eyes will make your heart melt. Dino was a puppy that was found by a wonderful person at the person’s place of employment. He fed Dino daily and allowed him to sleep in his car on his lunch breaks. Dino remained loyal and stayed around the place of work until they reached out for help from the rescue. To this day he loves cars and feels very safe from the outside cruel world inside of one. Dino has now been placed in a loving foster home and is learning to play wonderful with the foster’s big dogs and puppies that are fostering with him half his size. Dino is doing great in a crate and potty training. This guy catches on really quick. He is so appreciative of having a safe environment to thrive. He will lay on you or keep his head in your lap forever if you will allow. Personality: Dino is goofy, energetic, and playful! He does well with correction. Dino would be great in a home with another dog to keep showing the ropes of puppy life. He is soooooo ready to be your new best friend and would love a home where he can grow to be a wonderful life long family companion. Once adopted Dino will travel via the Rescue Transport to his new family.
