Story
Hi, I’m Garbanzo!Every day, I wake up ready to play and explore! I’m a sweet and smart boy that loves long neighbourhood walks—I walk great on leash and I can’t wait to meet new dogs and people. I’m still a puppy so I’m still learning my manners: right now I’m working on being jumpy and a bit mouthy when I’m excited, but I redirect really well with toys or treats. Overall, I’m a confident and well-rounded puppy that would be a great match for a family that’s excited about continuing positive reinforcement training and socialization!MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES…CHILDREN: Yes, with respectful older children.OTHER DOGS: Yes, would love playmate who matches my energy level.CATS: Potentially, if confident and experienced with energetic dogs.FIRST-TIME DOG OWNERS: Yes.FENCED-IN YARD: Would be great for me to have safe place to burn energy, but not required if you have a good exercise plan for me!HOUSING ENVIRONMENT: Any.SOMEONE HOME MOST OF THE DAY: Not necessarily, but home alone for full work days may not be ideal especially while I’m a puppy.SOME OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME…ACTIVITY LEVEL: Medium-high.HOUSE-TRAINED: Yes, but expect a few accidents while I settle in to my new home!Hi, I’m Garbanzo!Every day, I wake up ready to play and explore!

Story
Atlas here. The tall, handsome shepherd with the intense stare and the dramatic “stranger danger” commentary package included at no extra charge. I take my job of supervising the world very seriously, and sometimes I can come in a little… strong. Okay, very strong. But underneath all the barking and tough-guy energy is a smart young dog still figuring out that not every new person, sound, or situation is actually a top-secret security threat.The truth is, once I decide you’re one of my people, I’m loyal to the core. I want to be near you, learn with you, and tackle life as a team. I’m active, intelligent, and always paying attention, which means I’ll thrive with someone who understands shepherd brains and appreciates that I’m not the kind of dog who comes pre-programmed and effortless. I need guidance, patience, and someone confident enough to help me feel safe while I learn the world isn’t quite so suspicious.I can be particular about certain handling and I appreciate people who respect my space and listen to what I’m comfortable with. Building trust with me is important, and when you do, you’ll see a completely different side of me emerge. I’m not looking for someone to “dominate” me — I’m looking for someone steady, experienced, and kind who can help me channel all this big shepherd energy into being the best version of myself.If you’ve got an active lifestyle, some shepherd savvy, and room in your heart for a young dog with huge potential and an even bigger personality, I just might be your guy. Bonus points if you appreciate a loyal shadow who will proudly patrol the house like it’s his full-time career.

Hi! I'm Ember, a little spark of joy ready to ignite your life with fun! I'm super friendly and curious, always sniffing out adventures. I love playing fetch and am quite goofy when I try to catch my tail - it's hilarious! My energy is like a little fire, always burning with excitement to explore and learn new tricks. I'm also very sweet and love cuddles after a long day of play. If you're looking for a playful and loving companion to add warmth and laughter to your home, I'm the perfect match!

Story
Hello all! I'm Kenzie. I am truly a lovely girl who enjoys the company of humans, including children. I can't say the same about dogs unfortunately. I know it can be intimidating to hear that I don't like dogs, but my behaviors are quite manageable given proper structure, support and guidance. Leash training, clicker training, and redirection with positive reinforcement will go a long way for me. Please come in and meet me and give me a chance to steal your heart!

Story
Hi, I'm Otto! I'm a sweet boy who craves affection, although I do NOT appreciate "affection" from little humans. Sticky fingers? Grabbing? Eye pokes? No thank you!! I must disclose that I have made a poor decision in the past and bit a little one. I know that's a big no-no but I'm not sure how else I could have said no. This is my first (and hopefully only) mistake. Normally I get along with everyone including other dogs. To keep me safe I think I'd prefer my new home to have older children that can respect my boundaries. I'm pretty playful but as you can see I REALLY like treats. I think a little extra playtime will help me lose the extra fluff.  MN, Dutch Shepherd DOB: 2023

Story
Hey, I'm Jäger! I would describe myself as medium energy. I appreciate walks but I'm not into playing much anymore. I like to hang out with other dogs and I've even lived with a housemate so I'm OK sharing my space...just not with strangers! As a shepherd I believe it's my duty to guard the home. I even have some bites under my belt so you know I'm serious! If you would prefer to be the one to guard the home I'll need you to show your credentials. Plenty of structure and control will tell me that you've got things covered.  MN, CKC registered German Shepherd DOB: 2019
