Story
Aries is a 2 year old Shepherd mix. She came in only weighing 32 lbs and is now a much healthier 46 lbs. She will still gain a little weight yet. Aries is housetrained, cratetrained, and rides great in the car. Her foster parents are working on her with leash training. She will need a fenced in yard or to stay on leash outside. Aries is very active and playful. She loves playing ball, tug with rope, and playing with the other dogs. She gets along with everyone, dogs, and cats. Aries is very affectionate and likes to be with you. She does jump up, although her foster parents are working with her on it. We think a home without small children might be best until she learns not to jump on them. Aries has been vet checked, spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and is on heartworm/flea prevention.

German Shepherd Dog

Female, 2 yrs 6 mos
Fort Wayne, IN

Story
Maggie is a sweet, fun-loving 2–3-year-old German Shepherd/Husky/Mountain Cur mix who has left the puppy stage behind—but definitely hasn’t left her playful spirit behind! She loves playing with her toys, going for walks, and enjoying all the little adventures that come with being a dog. Maggie is crate trained and housebroken, and she does wonderfully with kids and feline friends. She would also love to have another dog in her forever home. Maggie takes her cues from her canine companion, so having a confident, friendly dog to show her the ropes is a must for her. When it comes to new people, Maggie can be a little shy at first and needs some time to warm up. Once she’s comfortable, she’s happiest simply being near her people rather than constantly seeking out pets and attention. She’s the kind of girl who is perfectly content to lay nearby, keeping you company while you go about your day. Maggie is looking for a patient family who will give her the time and space she needs to build trust, along with a doggy friend she can learn from. In return, you’ll have a loyal, playful companion who is ready to enjoy walks, toys, cozy downtime, and everything in between. If you’re looking for a sweet girl who is past the puppy chaos but still has plenty of fun left in her, Maggie may be your perfect match! She is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines and flea/tick/heartworm preventative.

Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,
Story
Junie is a very sweet dog. She will need an experienced adopter. She does play well with other dogs but she has always been very food aggressive toward other animals. She tries to scarf her food so a puzzle bowl is recommended. Can be nervous around new people, but she warms up fast. She doesn’t care for cats or other small animals. She needs a lot of play time, she has a ton of energy. She is very vocal because she’s a Husky. She knows sit, lay down, wait, in, and out. She needs a leash and a tall fence when she goes out because she will try to take off. She’s very playful, loves attention and cuddles, and she generally won’t leave you alone. For the right person she will be the greatest friend.

German Shepherd Dog Border Collie

Male, Adult

Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Winston is a Border Collie/German Shepherd mix we adopted as a puppy seven years ago. He is now 7 but still thinks he’s a puppy! He is one of the sweetest, most loving dogs you’ll meet.He is a big cuddle bug who loves being near his people, relaxing around the house, and soaking up affection. He is laid-back most of the day but has a playful side and needs a few opportunities to burn off energy.Winston has strong herding instincts and loves to run, roam, play fetch, and explore. He would thrive in a home with a large, fenced yard and someone who enjoys keeping him mentally stimulated.He completed training at Sit Means Sit and knows basic commands. He isn’t the easiest to walk on a leash and prefers room to run. He can get overly excited and forget his size, so he would benefit from continued training, especially around young children and other dogs. He does have a scary bark but has never hurt a soul. We don’t like to risk it so we don’t bring him around dogs or children.

Story
I got korra about five years ago when she was 5 weeks old from a coworker of mine who bred German Shepards. Im looking to rehome her because my life had gone through some changes with my job and living situation and do not have the time nor a place for her to call home as of right now. Korra is highly energetic and playful and has a strong temperament with kids. She does well with cats when introduced to one and given time to assimilate into the home dynamic, she however does not do well with other dogs due to a incident as a puppy with a bigger dog. She has anxiety especially separation anxiety when left alone she is best put into her crate when gone. Looking for a home that has time and love for her and willing to keep her busy and work her like she was intended to do. At the end of the day she is a good snuggler on the couch
