Story
I adopted Jack from a family with a litter of pups and as far as I know he was the runt of the litter. I was told he was German Shepherd/Husky but I suspect he may have some Lab in him as well. He is 9 years old and his birthday is December 23rd. The reason we have decided to rehome him is because we recently had a baby and he does not do well with small children. We are heartbroken to have to make this decision but know that we have to prioritize our daughter’s safety. He has been a wonderful companion to me over the years, loves his walks and going on adventures and even though he is 9, he still has that same puppy energy and is a very healthy boy. He is very well house-trained but ideally needs to be in a home with no other pets or children. He is very quirky, lovable, and loyal and he just needs love and companionship. His favorite thing to do is be with his people, he is happy just being with you wherever you are.

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs special attention, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Penny is a 4 year old Great Pyrenees, German Shepard mix. She is a loving, sweet girl that enjoys cuddling, playing, going on walks and hikes and playing in the creek. She is very loyal and loves being around her family. She would do best in a home where she is the only pet and with older children/adults. She is on medication for anxiety. She becomes frightened with loud noises and does not like moving toys but is very intelligent and easily trained. Unfortunately, due to changing life circumstances we are unable to continue to provide Penny with the love, time and care she deserves. Adoption fee is negotiable. We will provide her medication, food and have toys, a crate, bed, harness, leash, and outside dog house to give for a reasonable price if interested.

German Shepherd Dog Husky

Male, Adult
Columbia Station, OH
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Alec, a sprightly 5-year-old pup whose ears may have lost their tips, but his attentive listening remains impeccable. Alec boasts a stellar personality, a great sense of humor, and undeniable good looks. While he enjoys the company of other dogs, Alec's prey drive makes him better suited for a home without cats, small dogs, or young children. If you're seeking a companion to share pleasant weather and channel surfing, Alec is the ideal match for your laid-back lifestyle. A meet and greet with other dogs in your family is required before adoption, so please bring them along with you.

Story
Meet Costello! Costello, a charming 2-year-old purebred white German Shepherd, found himself at ARF alongside after his owner passed away. Now, Costello is eager to turn a new leaf and experience the warmth of indoor living as a cherished family companion.With a heart as big as his size, Costello is the epitome of sweetness. All he desires is a best friend to call his own, someone to share cuddles and hugs with. Despite his large stature, Costello has a knack for squeezing himself into laps, often believing he's a 65 lb lap dog! While Costello may welcome the company of another furry friend, a meet and greet is essential to ensure compatibility. However, one thing's for certain: Costello would prefer not to share his space with cats. If you're ready to open your heart and home to this beautiful boy, come meet Costello during our open hours. Let's give him the forever home he deserves!
