Story
Meet Liam! Liam is a stunning brindle shepherd mix, about 3 years old and 60lbs. He is the epitome of a gentleman, with a calm and easygoing nature. Liam has perfected the art of loose-leash walking and shows no signs of dog reactivity or food/toy aggression. His laid-back personality makes him a joy to be around—he loves cuddling up with you or lounging on a pillow. While he’s not always thrilled about going into his crate, he settles in wonderfully and does great for longer periods of time. Liam adores his squeaky stuffed toys, but a good bone or chew is truly the way to his heart. If Liam could talk, he’d tell you that all he needs to live his best life are soft treats and plenty of human love and affection. During his time in foster care, Liam has loved having his foster sister around, but he would thrive just as happily as a solo dog or as part of a pack.

Story
Here's what my friends at the shelter had to say about me! "What a sweety. Literally just wanted to stand and hug me for taking her out. Seems very dog friendly and just friendly in general. Seems young and ready to learn. She is treat motivated and loved me because I was there with her. She walked fairly well on the leash, but didn’t want to go back to her kennel without me enticing her with treats. She wasn’t done having fun yet which I get. I think I would have been able to keep her out longer and show her playful side if the weather wasn’t so yucky."

Uraso is a pure bread protection dog. He was born in Germany. We have 14 generations back on his bloodline. He won several awards being a Schutzhund ( a protection dog). We bought him three years ago from a dog trainer in Ohio. He isn't good with other dogs. He would do best with someone who has time to take him out and provide a fenced yard for him to run around.

Story
2-year-old Male Black German Shepherd - Needs Loving Home This sweet, affectionate male black German Shepherd is looking for a new home due to unexpected financial hardship and downsizing to a smaller home. He is 2 years old, extremely loving, and thrives on attention. He is good with other dogs and has been around children, though he can sometimes be possessive of food or toys, so continued structure and training would be ideal. He has not been around cats, so we are unsure how he would do in a home with them. He iss a beautiful boy with a lot of potential in the right home, ideally with someone experienced with German Shepherds who can give him the care and boundaries he deserves.
