Story
Sweet Smokey Joe Is just chilling while he waits for his forever home. He is a handsome 1 1/2 year old German Shepherd/ Pitbull mix. At about 50 lbs, he is the perfect dog for homes looking for a loyal walking buddy who will spend endless hours watching the world go by. Smokey knows commands like Sit, Wait, Down, Paw, Leave it, and Come. He is crate-trained, housebroken, and great on a leash! Smokey can play hard so his ideal home would be maybe a fenced yard and no smaller kids or pets. As you can see, Smokey STRONGLY supports napping. He is a great mix of playful, loving, loyal, and eager to please. To meet Smokey, our first step is always our online application at saveohiostrays.org. He is fully vetted and just $150 to adopt. Our first step to adopt is always our online application at saveohiostrays.org. Save Ohio Strays does not have a shelter. Our pets are integrated into their foster homes who can tell you all about them to make the transition into your home informative and supportive.

🚨 URGENT — HER LIFE MAY DEPEND ON FINDING THE RIGHT HOME 🚨❤️🐾 German Shepherd Girl Looking for Her Last Chance 🐾❤️Purrfect Haven Cat Rescue & TNR may be a cat rescue, but when an animal’s life is hanging in the balance, we want to do everything we can to help.This beautiful German Shepherd girl was born in December 2021, and right now she desperately needs a very specific, experienced home — one that could quite literally save her life.Her family has spent nearly two years trying to make their home work for her, including living with a strict rotation schedule to keep their animals separated. Unfortunately, she has serious aggression toward other animals. She has repeatedly attacked another dog in the home and recently attacked a cat.Because of this, there can be NO exceptions: she MUST be the ONLY animal in her new home. No dogs. No cats. No other pets.Her family has reached the heartbreaking point where, if an appropriate home cannot be found, euthanasia is being considered. 💔We are sharing her because we desperately hope there is someone out there who understands German Shepherds and is willing and able to give this girl the environment she needs to succeed.This is NOT a dog for someone who simply loves the breed and wants to give her a chance. She needs an experienced, responsible German Shepherd owner/handler who understands behavioral management, structure, boundaries and the seriousness of her history.In the right home — where she doesn’t have to share her space with other animals, where her days are predictable, and where her person understands exactly what she needs — we are hoping she can finally have the stability she has been missing.Please, no judgment toward her current family. They have spent years trying to manage an incredibly difficult situation. Right now, judgment won’t save her.A SHARE MIGHT. ❤️Somewhere out there may be the person who has the experience, the right home and the willingness to become this girl’s last chance.🙏 PLEASE SHARE — especially with German Shepherd owners, trainers, breed-experienced homes and rescue contacts.📞 SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY: Please call or text Purrfect Haven Cat Rescue and TNR 330-338-6151They can put you directly in contact with her owner.Her safety — and the safety of the people and animals around her — must come first.🐾 Help us help her. The right person seeing this post could literally mean the difference between life and death. ❤️

 Meet Ruger!    Ruger is a handsome  10-year-old German Shepherd  looking for a loving home to spend his golden years! ❤️ Don’t let his age fool you — Ruger is still  very playful  and has plenty of personality and love to give.   Ruger does have  pannus , an eye condition commonly seen in German Shepherds. Thankfully, it can be managed with  eye drops and doggie goggles , and Ruger doesn’t let it stop him from enjoying life!   This sweet senior deserves a family who will give him all the love, comfort, and adventures he deserves. If you have room in your heart and home for a handsome older gentleman,  Ruger may be the perfect addition to your family!  â¤ï¸     Give Ruger the golden years he deserves! This animal is up to date on all shots, dewormed, and spayed/neutered. They have been heartworm tested (negative) and on prevention.  The adoption fee is $275.00 If you are interested in adopting this pet please fill out an application. http://www.ajssearchandrescue.org/adoption-application  November 13, 2026, 12:03 am

Meet Remi, a beautiful 3-year-old German Shepherd with a heart of gold who is searching for her forever family! Remi is a sweet, gentle girl with so much love to give! She enjoys getting to know her people, and once she has a chance to settle into her surroundings, her loving personality really begins to shine. Remi would love a home where she can build lasting bonds, feel comfortable, and enjoy all the wonderful things life has to offer! Having another confident, friendly dog in the home would be a wonderful bonus to help her continue building confidence, but it is not a requirement. This gorgeous girl has so much love and potential, and she’s just waiting for someone to give her the chance to become their new best friend! With a little patience, love, and consistency, Remi is sure to make a wonderful addition to a lucky family! Remi will be spayed and microchipped before adoption, is up to date on vaccinations and deworming, and is heartworm negative and on prevention. Her adoption fee is $275 . If you’re looking for a beautiful, loving German Shepherd to welcome into your family, Remi might just be your perfect match!    November 13, 2026, 12:03 am
