Story
We adopted Karl from a shelter as a pup. He’s always been very good with our other dogs and cats, though he is intact and acts as the dominant one when he and other male dogs play. He does well with our cats but I wouldn't trust him fully as he gets a little dominant even with them. He does well with our children though he is very reactive with a lot of commotion but it’s always just barking; I definitely feel this is on us due to his breed needing to be worked daily and intensely trained. He listens very well, he never leaves his boundary, he walks our perimeter with me everyday for 40 minutes, he knows sit, down and shake. He is a good boy, our family is just too busy to give him the German shepherd attentiveness he needs. He does suffer from allergies (itching) but we have been able to resolve this completely with salmon food and withholding beef and pork from his diet. Someone who is experienced with separation anxiety, German shepherd or work breeds would do very well for Karl.

Story
Sadly, I need to rehome Marshall. I adopted him from our local dog pound in January of 2026. He's been the best dog ever until strangers appear. He barks and lunges. I am able to control him and he listens very well. He took to me immediately and within the first week was laying in my bed ,completely relaxed with legs wide open! He trusts me. He knows some commands.Sit,stay,here..He walks well on leash,I use a choker collar. He is very routine, eats twice a day,loves his BALL! He is house and crate trained. He gets certain treats daily. He is alone daily because I work and his job is to watch the house. He is very patient and loyal. I recommend that he lives in a home with no children or other dogs. He has traveled in a car. He is a great dog and companion. It truly breaks my heart to rehome him and fear most won't give him a chance because of his aggression towards strangers. I DO NOT fear him. He has never shown aggression towards me. Great pet for single lady.Questions, please ask.

I'm Nami! I am a balanced energy girl who loves to learn new things and play with my dog friends! I am OK with Cats. Best with older children... I have a calm, cool demeanor and a LOT of resilience! I am a mixed breed, but my personality is definitely that of a German shepherd and huskey! I am currently being boarded with a trainer to work on some resource guarding issues. I would do well with experienced handlers, especially those with training experience. Let's be best friends!!

DODGER

German Shepherd Dog Collie

Male, Young
Amherst, OH
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Dodger. He was saved from an overcrowded shelter where he was at risk of euthanasia. He is now fully vetted, neutered and all vaccines. Dodger did test positive for Ehrlichia before he came to us and was put on a regimen of doxycycline. He should need no further treatment and has no symptoms. He loves to play with other dogs and would benefit from another dog in the household. Probably not a good candidate for a home with cats. He is a friendly guy but young children may not be a good fit due to his exuberance .  I do prefer a fenced yard for Dodger so he can play and burn off energy. His foster dad has been working on commands with him and Dodger is a quick learner and doing great. He has mastered many commands. He is a smart leaner and wants to please. He will heed a caregiver willing to exercise him. His foster family has told us that he loves to swim in their pond.  His adoption fee is $200. If interested in Dodger, please email hartmanshounds@gmail.com.July 15, 2026, 11:37 am
