Story
Meet KrissyKrissy is a stunning 45 year old German Shepherd weighing about 65 pounds. Shes an intelligent, loyal girl who continues to impress everyone who spends time with her.Krissy already knows sit, down, crate, and shake, and she loves interactive playespecially chasing balls. Snow days are a favorite, and she can happily be found digging around to uncover a ball hidden beneath the snow. Shes also quickly fallen head-over-heels for our kennel manager, which speaks volumes about her ability to bond once she feels safe.When you first meet Krissy, she may bark as a way of letting you know shes unsurebut dont let that fool you. A few kind words (she loves being told shes a good girl) and shes wagging her tail and warming up fast. With calm, confident handling, her sweet personality shines through very quickly. Shes looking for a home that understands the German Shepherd breed and is willing to give her the time and space to continue building trust.Once she feels secure, Krissy is affectionate, playful, and deeply devoted to her people. Shes the kind of dog who wants to be someones loyal companionand will repay patience with unwavering love. Check out the attached video (at end of pictures) to hear her backstory and get a glimpse of how truely special she is. She has quickly become a kennel fav.Krissy is ready for a fresh start with a family who will see not just where shes been, but who she truly is. Apply at www.caninecollective.org.

Story
Murphy was known as Sean at the shelter at San Antonio. He had been injured by a car and was taken to the shelter where he was placed on the euthanasia list after a few short days. He didn’t have much hope left and had given up. After seeing the sadness in his eyes, we knew we had to help. He was transported to Ohio and was seen by our orthopedic surgeon who determined he had to lose his long beautiful tail, but there was also a good chance he would need a femoral head ostectomy to correct his hip and leg. Because a small amount of healing was noted, he was given 3 weeks to determine if his body would heal enough on its own and we could spare him the pain of surgery. That turned out to be the case, so this sweet guy only lost his tail. Murphy is doing wonderfully and continues to heal and gain strength. He has been cleared for adoption and is hoping to find a very loving family to give him the life he deserves. Murphy is a shepherd mix. Best guess by the vet is a mix with Chow Chow because of his tiny, flopped over ears, but we aren’t sure.

Story
Male or female? Female Approximate Age: 5 Breed: German Shepherd Weight: 70 lbs 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, 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. If you are interested in meeting Hayes, please complete an adoption application at www.speakfortheunspoken.com/adopt     ##2248117##
