Story
Hello! My name is George!I am an energetic boy who loves to run and play. I have a blast running around with my zoomies! I can be nervous of new people at first. I'm gaining lots of confidence with my GHS friends and I look forward to joining a home that uses a positive training approach to continue to build my confidence. When I get excited, I can be jumpy. I'm doing so well with training and am a very smart boy! MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES...CHILDREN: No, I'm looking for an adult-only home.OTHER DOGS: Potentially, depending on the dog. I seem to be scared of dogs upon first meeting, but once I warm up, I'm rather playful.CATS: No, I would likely be too much for a cat.FIRST-TIME DOG OWNERS: No, I'm looking for someone that has previous dog experience.FENCED-IN YARD: Highly recommended, unless you live on a country property.HOUSING ENVIRONMENT: No apartment buildings.SOMEONE HOME MOST OF THE DAY: Not necessarily, however I may not be the best match for a home where I will be alone a full work day.SOME OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME...ACTIVITY LEVEL: Medium-highI'M ON A PRESCRIPTION DIET: NoHOUSE-TRAINED: Almost, I will require some patience and training from my new family.If you think I could be a good match for your home, click the "adopt me" button to apply!

Story
Hello, my name is Valentina!I'm a ball-dog - I love chasing and fetching balls. It's my favorite hobby, followed by pets from my people. I was a stray, so my GHS friends don't know anything about my history. I don't enjoy handling such as nail trims or vet exams. I am looking for a home that will work with me to help that be a more comfortable experience. MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES...CHILDREN: No young children. Teenagers should be ok.OTHER DOGS: Potentially, a dog of a herding breed might be a good match. I don't seem to be super interested in playing with other dogs.CATS: Potentially, with a cat confident around dogs and who has lived with dogs before. FIRST-TIME DOG OWNERS: No, I would do best with someone who has dog experience. FENCED-IN YARD: Highly recommended.HOUSING ENVIRONMENT: Any, ideally with a yard, however I may not be ideal for apartment life given I do like to bark. SOMEONE HOME MOST OF THE DAY: Not necessarilySOME OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME...ACTIVITY LEVEL: Medium-high.I'M ON A PRESCRIPTION DIET: No.HOUSE-TRAINED: So far so good!If you think I could be a good match for your home, click the "adopt me" button to apply!

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Zeus is an amazing dog with a difficult past. A pure-bred German Shepherd, Zeus is extremely smart. He is very high energy and when he loves, he loves hard. Once he feels safe with you, he will be a loyal friend. Zeus has a lot of behavioural needs that his current owner is struggling to manage. He is very reactive to other dogs, and to strangers coming into the home. He also has high energy and a high prey drive. His current owners want Zeus to have a second chance with breed-experienced owners who would be able to provide Zeus the safety and stability she desperately needs. Zeus has made progress working with a trainer to address his reactivity, and understands basic commands such as sit, down, touch, leave it, drop it, stay, etc. He is food-motivated and is able to work for kibble and treats. He also loves to play fetch (loves his balls/toys) and is slowly being socialized with more dogs and people. Zeus needs someone experienced with the breed with lots of time/love to give.
