Story
MEET NED!STATS: 3 years old, neutered, Lab Mix, 60 lbsAFFECTION/ENERGY LEVEL: I am a pretty laid back and chill guy. I am more of a leaner against your knees than runner and jumper. My energy level is pretty low and I play very dainty with the other dogs. I`m not really a fan of playing rough and getting tackled. Can’t we all just lay around and enjoy the breeze? When it comes to affection though, I am a very loving and sweet boy! WHAT I LOVE: I love naps, sleeping, soft treats, a shady spot on a warm day, snoozing, afternoon siestas, a short and slow stroll, and resting my head on knees. I will play a little here and there, but I would rather prefer to take things easy. KIDS: While I haven’t been formally tested with kids at the shelter, the staff thinks I would do best with older kids/teens since I don’t really like a lot of commotion and prefer to maintain a chill environment. OTHER DOGS: I don’t mind other dogs, as long as they are chill like I am! I go to the gentle/dainty playgroup here at the shelter every day because I enjoy the company of other dogs but I don’t want to play rough!CATS: UnknownHIS MATCH: If you value the slow, chill moments in life, then I might be the guy for you! I just want someone to coexist with and enjoy the small and simple things. If you were to adopt me, I guarantee you would have a much calmer and relaxing life!SPECIAL NOTE: I love to stare longingly into your eyes as if to ask “why aren’t you petting me right now?”Complete an online application and get pre-approved to adopt at https://www.cognitoforms.com/YorkCountyAnimalControl/PetAdoptionSurvey.

Story
MEET MAGNUS!STATS: 3 years old, Neutered, German Shepherd, 72 lbsAFFECTION/ENERGY LEVEL: I am a typical Shepherd! I am moderately active and would benefit from exercise and a structured environment. I am not overly affectionate (yet!) but I will warm up to you as I gain confidence. WHAT I LOVE: I love being in a comfortable, structured environment and feeling “at home.” Since I have a lot of those Shepherd characteristics, I will require someone with prior breed experience that can handle my quirks. That is what makes me “me” after all! KIDS: I have no prior history with kids.OTHER DOGS: I am not super confident around other dogs and am not afraid to show them that I am uncomfortable. If I were to have a dog companion, they would have to be tolerant and patient with me and provide me guidance while allowing me to adjust. I may be best suited as your one and only, but only time and patience will tell. CATS: UnknownHIS MATCH: I need someone with soft hands in dealing with a nervous dog. I respond well to kindness and patience. I need someone with breed experience that will provide me with guidance and structure to support my life’s journey. Socialization and training are essential to my personal growth and success in mitigating my reactivity and lack of confidence.Due to my need for additional socialization with both humans and dogs, I require specialized placement with someone who can provide proof of successful prior German Shepherd ownership and experience. I am not for a first time Shepherd owner. As with all adoptions, positive prior/current vet records are required as well as a meet and greet with any current dogs in the home (if applicable.)SPECIAL NOTE: I am determined to sniff out my forever companion!Complete an online application and get pre-approved to adopt at https://www.cognitoforms.com/YorkCountyAnimalControl/PetAdoptionSurvey.
