Story
Ruby German Shepherd Dog (medium coat) Large Female   Ruby is a 78 pound, 4 year old, female, spayed German Shepherd who is up to date on her vetting.  She was originally purchased from a breeder.  Unfortunately, she is not a good fit for her family and they are hoping to find her a new home to adore her and better meet her needs.  Ruby is currently living with a family member who has Alzheimer's and the unpredictability of their interactions causes her additional anxiety.   She is an energetic, working breed who would thrive in a home with someone who could meet both her physical and mental exercise needs.  She is intelligent and has excelled with training in the past.  A home that can offer her clear direction, consistency and focus on reinforcing desirable behaviours would suit her best.   Ruby has a big, scary bark but is very excited to greet visitors and welcome them into the home.  She is friendly with people young and old but would need to be supervised around smaller children due to her size and excitability.  We do not know how she would do with cats in the home.  She has played with other dogs and attended doggy daycare.  She isn't always good at reading other dogs' communications and sometimes annoys them with her persistent licking and pawing at them.  A family member has a Boxer mix she has played with, however, their play tends to escalate, get out of control, and tip over into fights.  Play sessions need to be closely supervised and the dogs need to be redirected and separated when the intensity starts to build prior to the play getting out of control.  Ruby can also react to other dogs she sees on leash walks.  She will jump around and a handler who is comfortable managing this behaviour would be a best fit for her.   She is a very sensitive soul and has had issues with colitis and pica in the past.  She takes daily medication which has helped significantly manage both.  Ruby is also quite anxious and suffers from sound phobias.  She takes anti-anxiety medication to help with both and her new home would need to be willing to continue her medications and work with their veterinarian to help her live her best life.     If you are a lover of large, loyal dogs who bond closely with their people and are looking for a sidekick to take along on all your adventures, Ruby just might be the dog for you!  Please complete our Adoption Application on our website to find out more about Ruby.

Good with dogs,
Story
Scrappy is a 5-year-old German Shepherd with a big personality, a brilliant mind, and movie-star good looks. This handsome boy thrives on human companionship and loves having a job to do. Whether it's learning new commands, showing off his training skills, or staying close to his people, Scrappy is happiest when he's engaged and included. And honestly, as long as you have a tennis ball, he's game for anything. Scrappy is incredibly smart and eager to learn, making him a great match for someone experienced with shepherds or large working breeds. He bonds deeply with his humans and will be a loyal, devoted companion for the right home. Because Scrappy prefers to have all the attention to himself, he needs to be the only animal in the home. He does not do well living with other dogs or cats, so a pet-free environment is essential for his success and comfort. If Scrappy sounds like the perfect addition to your home, come by the center any day from 11am-5:30pm to meet him and bring him home! His adoption fee is $468 which includes his neuter, vaccines, deworming, microchip, and a month's worth of FREE food! Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: Tan Weight: 34.4 Age: 5yrs 2mths 2wks

Story
Hi, I’m Nayum, and while I may not be the kind of dog who rushes up to make friends right away, I promise I’m worth getting to know.The world can feel a little overwhelming to me sometimes, and new people or situations may earn a nervous growl or a cautious glance at first. But give me a few minutes, a little patience, and maybe a couple pieces of hotdog, and you`ll start to see the gentle, sweet girl hiding underneath. Once I feel safe, I lean into neck scratches, nudge hands for affection, and quietly enjoy being close to my people.My past is a bit of a mystery, but what we`ve learned is that I`m incredibly tolerant despite my worries. Even when I`m unsure, I choose to walk away or ask for space rather than escalate. I`m looking for a calm, predictable home with people who understand that confidence may come slowly, but every small victory is a big deal for a dog like me.I would love a fenced yard to help me continue my transition to indoor life, as I`ve spent much of my life outdoors. I`m still learning leash manners and can be quite strong when I walk, so I`ll need a family committed to helping me build those skills. A quiet, respectful dog companion could be a wonderful match for me, especially one who will give me space and let me warm up at my own pace. I should be fed separately from other dogs, as I prefer not to share my meals.If you`re looking for a dog who will instantly be everyone`s best friend, that may not be me. But if you`re willing to earn my trust, you`ll discover a gentle soul with a huge heart, quietly waiting for someone to show her that the world isn`t such a scary place after all.
