Story
Hi I'm Fenton! I am a young shepherd mix and I'm searching for my forever home. I absolutely love playing with toys and I have endless energy! I would love to have a person to take me hiking or train me in some kind of dog sport. I have been working with the trainer on basic obedience and doing very well! My caregivers think I would excel in a sport or by having a "job" as I am very driven, food motivated and eager to please. My brothers Fritz and Farley are also at the rescue and we are all very similar! I am neutered and up to date on vaccines and dewormings. I will be microchipped at adoption.

Story
Meet Bear 🐻💙 At first glance, Bear can look a little intimidating — tall ears, serious face, that classic German Shepherd presence. But give him about 30 seconds and you’ll see the truth: Bear is just a big love wrapped in a “tough guy” package. Bear is 2½ years old and absolutely thrives once he feels safe. He loves affection, leans in for pets, and bonds deeply with his people. He’s the kind of dog who wants to be near you, quietly loyal and incredibly sweet. Bear would do best in a home with a secure privacy fence, where he can feel protected and relaxed while enjoying time outdoors. With the right space and a patient, loving family, Bear will blossom into the devoted companion he’s meant to be. Behind the strong exterior is a dog who just wants a chance — a chance to belong, to be loved, and to finally have a home to call his own. If you’re looking for a loyal best friend with a heart as big as his paws, Bear is waiting 🖤🐾

Story
Zeus is a very good boy with a calm, loving personality. He is friendly, affectionate, and playful, but can be a little shy at first until he gets comfortable. Once he warms up, he is loyal and sweet.He has lived peacefully with an adult German Shepherd and has done great around cats, so he adjusts well around other animals. He has also completed training with Bulletproof Dog Training and understands basic commands.Zeus is not being rehomed because he is a bad dog. He is a great dog, but with my current work, military, training, and business schedule, I cannot give him the time and consistency he deserves.We are looking for a responsible, stable home that will continue giving him structure, attention, and love. A meet-and-greet will be required, and we will be careful to make sure he goes to the right home.

Hi! Mingo checking in from the Indian pups. I am generally quiet and cuddly, but I love to run and play too - like any puppy! I get along and love to play with my siblings. I am smart and very eager to please my humans. I have already learned to sit when asked and when I'm waiting on my food. Did I mention I like to cuddle? I am a total sweetheart just looking for my forever family. I would be a great best friend! I am currently working on crate training, house breaking and some basic commands. I am still pretty young and I am learning about good manners.

Story
Hi, my name is Remington - nice to me you! I am listed as "special needs" because my vision is limited due to cataracts. I am not in any pain but I do need steroids - eye drops - the cost is about $12 a month using an online pharmacy. Even though my eyesight is limited, it doesn't slow me down! One of my favorite things to do is to play fetch - we play every night! Check out my video in my bio pics - I think I'm pretty good (as long as the ball isn't thrown too far), don't you? I am a silly girl who just likes to play. I get along really well with people and dogs. One of my favorite things is playing with my foster siblings - even though I will play with everyone, I usually will gravitate towards one pal at a time. I can be a little reserved at first with my humans but once I trust you, I'm very affectionate and like to give hugs! ***Special needs - I need eyedrops for my cataracts*** ADOPTION FEE: $300 (All MVPC dogs are heartworm-tested and on prevention, completely vetted, spayed/neutered, microchipped, crate-trained and house-trained) ADOPTER: MUST have breed experience BIRTHDAY: 9/28/22 FENCE: Required (an electric fence is not an acceptable form of containment) DOG FRIENDLY: Yes DOGS IN HOME: Yes CATS: Unknown CHILDREN: Yes - 8 years and older I AM READY TO GO HOME!!
