Story
Hello! This is Lycan a 6-year-old, purebred German Shepherd. He is house-trained, crate-trained, and walks well on a leash without pulling. He is very gentle when taking treats from your hand. Lycan has a moderate energy level and usually needs about three days to warm up to new people, but once he trusts you, his incredibly friendly and loyal. He has experience being around cats, female dogs, and small children he is familiar with. Lycan is truly a wonderful dog, but unfortunately my work schedule has increased, and I no longer able to give him the life and attention he deserves.

Story
Kiba is a wonderful, very kind, mild-mannered dog in need of a loving new home as soon as possible. He's very healthy and moderately energetic, loves to play keep away, chase and a friendly game of fetch and tug. He absolutely loves chasing around laser pointers and gets along well with other dogs once greeted. He's particular about his nap/sleep and will usually put himself to bed around 9pm. On average, he'll sleep around 12+hrs a day. He loves rope toys the most and empty cardboard boxes really make him happy. His other play things include balls, frisbees, chew bones, laser pointers and kong toys. He frequents our local doggie daycare at least once a week and plays with a few other dogs at our local dog park. He's well-behaved going on walks, he does occasionally pull moderately when excited and has never tried to escape out the door or from our small yard. He rarely barks, even when someone approaches the door unless he gets startled. He's never been destructive inside the house.

Hi I'm Maddie! Some dogs walk into your life like a gentle reminder that good hearts still exist. That is me, Maddie! I am a 6 year old, 77 lb. German Shepherd with a soft heart, an active spirit, and a deep love for my people. I enjoy being part of the world around me, whether that is going on walks, exploring new places, or simply spending time with someone I trust. Even though I am an adult dog, I still have a nice balance of being active and enjoying my adventures, while also loving my quiet, cozy time indoors. I also love learning and thrive when I have structure, patience, and clear guidance. I feel most confident when I know what is expected of me and when I can build a strong connection with my person through positive training and consistency. I prefer a calm environment where I can feel safe and settled. I do not enjoy sharing my space with other animals, so I would be happiest as the only pet in the home. I would also appreciate a home with children over the age of 7 who understand that sometimes I may need a little space to feel comfortable and relaxed. I would do best in a home without cats. I am ready for a family who will continue to guide me with kindness, structure, and patience. I respond beautifully when I feel understood and supported. In the right home, I will not just be a dog. I will be a loyal companion, a steady presence, and a soft place to land at the end of every day! My adoption fee is $295 and I'm spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. Apply to meet me today!

Story
Hi, I’m Breezy! An almost 5-year-old German Shepherd, weighing 60 lbs. of intelligence, loyalty, and quiet confidence. I’m the kind of dog who pays attention to everything, reads situations well, and responds best when there is clear communication and mutual understanding. With my people, I am deeply affectionate and loyal. I form strong bonds and truly enjoy being close to those I trust. Once you are part of my circle, you will have a companion who is attentive, devoted, and always tuned in to you. With new people, I can be a bit more reserved. I take my time getting comfortable and prefer not to be approached too quickly. I am currently working on this with continued training and improving steadily. I do best with someone who understands how to advocate for me and can step in when I need space. When I am given the time and respect to warm up, I settle in well. I am highly intelligent and very responsive. I have excellent recall and take direction well, especially when expectations are clear and consistent. I enjoy working, learning, and having structure in my day. With other dogs, I am well-balanced. I can be playful and social, but I also know how to regulate myself and settle when needed. I appreciate dogs who are respectful and can match my energy appropriately. I love my toys and enjoy a good game of fetch. It is one of my favorite ways to stay active and engaged, and I can happily play while still maintaining control and focus. Cats are not a good match for me. I would do best in an adult-only home where my boundaries are understood and respected. I thrive in an environment where there is calm leadership, clear communication, and consistency. I am not just an active dog, I am a thinking dog. I am looking for someone who appreciates that, someone who values connection, structure, and trust. In return, I will give you unwavering loyalty, intelligence, and a partnership that is truly special! My adoption fee is $295 and I'm spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. Apply to meet Breezy today!

Meet Mystic ❤️ If you’re looking for a dog who’s equal parts adventure buddy, cuddle bug, and lovable troublemaker, Mystic might just be your perfect match. Mystic is a 1-year-old, 58 lb. Wolf Hybrid, German Shepherd, and Belgian Malinois mix. She’s incredibly loving, fiercely loyal, and full of life. Whether she’s splashing through water, zooming around the yard, or sneaking your favorite item off the counter just because she can, Mystic approaches every day with enthusiasm and joy. She is the kind of dog who lives life at full speed. Her energy is contagious, her personality is larger than life, and her happiness has a way of making everyone around her smile. While some may see her wild side as something to manage, we see it as one of the things that makes her so special. Mystic absolutely loves other dogs and thrives in canine company. She has a rough-and-rowdy play style and would do best with medium to large dogs who can keep up with her energy. We have not observed any aggression toward people or other dogs while she’s been with us—she simply loves to play, wrestle, run, and have fun. She would do best in a home without cats. Mystic previously lived with cats but eventually had an altercation due to her rough play style, and we want to set her up for success moving forward. Mystic does well with children and enjoys being around people, but because she gets excited and tends to jump up for kisses and attention, we believe she’d be the best fit for a home with kids ages 11 and older. This girl is looking for an active, experienced adopter who understands working breeds and, ideally, has experience with German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, or Wolf Hybrids. She would make an incredible hiking partner, running companion, or outdoor adventure buddy. Physical exercise is important for Mystic, but so is mental stimulation. She’s intelligent, driven, and happiest when she has a job to do and room to explore. Mystic is not a beginner dog. She will require patience, consistency, training, and someone who appreciates her unique personality. In return, you’ll get a deeply devoted companion who will love you with her whole heart and make every day a little more exciting. If you’re ready for the challenge, the adventure, and the unconditional love that comes with a dog like Mystic, she is ready to find the forever home she deserves. Mystic's adoption fee is $295 and she is spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. Apply to meet Mystic today!
