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.

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
Meet Echo ❤️ Some dogs find their way to the sanctuary through owner surrenders. Some arrive through shelters. Echo’s story is a little different. One day, Lee Asher and Sara were driving home when they spotted a dog standing in the middle of the road. That dog was Echo. She had been abandoned near the sanctuary and left to fend for herself. Thankfully, her story didn’t end there. Echo is a stunning 1-year-old purebred German Shepherd weighing approximately 65 pounds. Since arriving at the sanctuary, she has blossomed into a confident, playful, and incredibly intelligent young dog who is ready to find a family of her own. Like many young German Shepherds, Echo is full of energy and enthusiasm. She loves to run, play, learn, and be involved in whatever her people are doing. She is eager to please and clearly has had some training in the past. Echo has excellent recall, knows several commands, and is always excited to learn something new. She can be a rough-and-rowdy player and does best with medium to large dogs who can match her energy and play style. Because of her prey drive and enthusiasm, she is not a fit for homes with small dogs or cats. One of Echo’s best qualities is her willingness to learn. She responds well to correction from both people and other dogs and shows all the signs of a dog who wants guidance and structure. With continued training, consistency, and patience, Echo has the potential to become an absolutely incredible companion. Echo is looking for an active home that understands the needs of a young German Shepherd. She needs physical exercise, mental stimulation, and a family committed to helping her continue growing into the amazing dog she is becoming. Most of all, she needs people who won’t give up on her simply because she’s young, energetic, and still learning. Echo would do best with kids over the age of 11 due to her play style and energy. For the German Shepherd lovers out there, Echo is truly something special. She is smart, loyal, affectionate, and full of potential. All she needs now is someone willing to invest the time and love she deserves. Echo's adoption fee is $295 and she is spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. If you’re ready for a devoted best friend and adventure partner, apply to meet Echo today.

Story
Hi, I'm Luna! I’m a 7 year old, 29 lb. Shepherd mix with a gentle heart and so much love to give! I can be a little shy when meeting new people, so I'm hoping to find a patient family that will let me come out of my shell at my own pace. Once I know I'm safe, you'll have a loyal best friend who simply loves being close to her people. I enjoy going on adventures, whether it's exploring a new trail or taking a peaceful walk. One of my favorite things is stopping to sniff everything along the way. There's a whole world to discover, and I like to take it all in one scent at a time. I do very well with other dogs and would love a calm canine companion who matches my gentle personality. I would do best in a home without cats. I'd also be happiest with children over the age of 3 who can understand that I need a little space while I build my confidence. All I'm looking for is someone willing to give me the time I need to feel at home. In return, I'll give you quiet companionship, unwavering loyalty, and a love that's as constant as the moon in the night sky. I promise I'm worth the wait! My adoption fee is $295 and I’m spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. Apply to meet me 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!
