Name: Fathom Breed: GSD x Farm Dog Mix DOB/Sex: Dec 22, 2023/F Known Health Issues: None at this time. Good With: Cats! Dogs! Kids! NO DOG PARKS Hi, I'm Fathom! I'm looking for my forever family. Is that you? You: - Have a quite, calm home environment. - Enjoy working with shy dogs, and have the patience to build a relationship over many months. - Love the outdoors and adventuring! - Enjoy a dog that wants to be with you always, but respect they don't necessarily want physically restrictive embracing/hugs. - Enjoy building up a dog, and bringing out their inner spark. - live more rurally/in a quiet neighborhood. And have a secure, fenced area for me to exercise in. 6ft minimum. - Will not trap me by claiming my genetics are "an abused past", and give me the tools I need to grow everyday. - Have a well balanced dog in the home, that would pair well with a soft, shy, but sassy girl. Me: - I am shy, sweet, and like to take things slow. - Once I am comfortable though, I have a spicy side! I can be demanding and vocal for my needs, in a sassy way! - I am a flight risk, and a hard catch. I will NEVER go to a stranger. But I like routine, and minimal pressure, and will go back to my safe place if properly guided. - I love my crate, and the security it provides. I like routine and predictability. - I love to play, and run! I would prefer to go to a home with a canine friend. I take a lot of confidence and direction from their actions. I get along with most everyone, as long as they respect canine body language. - I still get car sick, so Cerenia is my friend. - I have not yet met a cat, but with proper training and guidance, should be fine. 2 of my adopted siblings live with cats! - Kids that respect boundaries, and personal space may be okay. Again, I am very shy, and don't like much physical contact. This is hard for many kids to understand. I seek coexistence. - My foster mom says I am a very special girl, with a warm light. I shine the brightest when my needs are respected. She hopes I will find someone willing to continue to give me a safe space in which to grow.

Story
Name: Rook Breed: GSD DOB/Sex: June 14, 2023/M Known Health Issues: - Cryptorchid. Will be corrected at neuter. - Hip Dysplasia. Right hip needs replacing. Currently not symptomatic, and working under the guidance of Dr. John at Caledon Mountain, and Dr. Sherry at SOAR Vet Services. - Elbow Dysplasia. Currently not symptomatic, and working under the guidance of Dr. John at Caledon Mountain, and Dr. Sherry at SOAR Vet Services. Good With: Cats (with training)! Dogs! Working breed experienced kids will be considered on a case by case basis. NO DOG PARKS Rook is a stunning young GSD looking for his forever family. He has some upcoming orthopedic surgeries and I would love to get him settled before he faces them, to minimize stress during recovery. Rook is an adventurer! He LOVES the outdoors, and is always ready to go. Hiking, running, swimming, everyday is fun! He loves to train, is very quick to pick things up, and will play ball forever. Rook has come a long way since arriving in rescue, and is really figuring out who he is. He can be neutral with other dogs, but prefers to do his own thing. He is not looking for a canine buddy, he's all about his human partner. He can successfully live with other dogs, as long as you treat them as individuals. He's there to work and bond with YOU. I would not recommended another male dog close in age. Rook has stranger danger, and doesn't enjoy being handled by those who aren't his person. He has come a long way, and does well at the vet and physio. He is better with women than men. We muzzle where needed. He will take time to bond to his new person, and is best suited to an experienced shepherd owner, who enjoys training and building relationships. Once you are in his circle of trust, he is a giant teddy bear! He is very affectionate, loves cuddles, and will follow you everywhere. Rook is pretty to look at, but was born with a wonky skeleton. Please don't let this disaude you from considering him! He is VERY capable of enjoying everyday and living life to the fullest! We are working with the amazing Dr. John, and Dr. Sherry, and following their guidance for rehab, and surgery.

You live the working dog lifestyle. - Are confident, calm, and patient with your handling skills.

You will be willing to meet me many times before I can go home with you. - You love the outdoors, and adventuring! Me: - I will only have eyes for you!

(I am not a bite sport candidate). - I want to play with everything, and enjoy eliciting squeals, so cats would be hard unless you are REALLY committed to training.
