Story
Meet Sydney, a serene and affectionate Belgian Malinois Shepherd mix with a heart as gentle as her gaze. Sydney is the definition of calm—nothing seems to faze her. She’s incredibly dog and cat friendly, and her low to medium energy level makes her a wonderful match for a peaceful home. Sydney is being fostered in a loving home in San Antonio, TX, where she gets along beautifully with her German Shepherd foster sister. Sydney walks beautifully on a leash and makes an excellent walking buddy for those who enjoy quiet neighborhood strolls. However, her true happy place is outside—she absolutely thrives in a yard where she can explore, relax, and enjoy nature. A home with outdoor space is a must for this sweet girl. Potty trained and polite, Sydney is well-mannered around the house. She's a little shy when meeting new people or visiting unfamiliar places, so she’ll need a patient and loving family willing to give her time to settle in. Once she trusts you, she’ll show you her soft, affectionate side and soak up every bit of attention you're willing to give. Sydney is also a cozy cuddle buddy—she loves curling up next to you on the couch for some quiet bonding time. While she’s not a fan of car rides, Sydney is happy living the homebody life. She’s currently looking for a foster or adopter in Central Texas who can offer her the calm, consistent environment she deserves. If you're looking for a gentle, loyal companion, Sydney is ready to make your heart her home.

Story
We adopted Zeke in 2019, when he was around 9 months old. We were told in his first home he was abused as a puppy. When we got him, he has been surrendered to Humane Society and was living in foster home with cats and kids. He has lived with us since. We have 2 children and 1 other dog that Zeke lives with. Zeke is very good with our kids. He lets our oldest (3 years old) pet him and he doesn't bother our newborn. Zeke is part German Shepard and is good on walks and runs. Zeke takes monthly heartworm/flea prevention medicine and has not had any major medical issues since we adopted him. He is crate trained and knows how to sit and lay down. He learns very quickly. With the arrival of our newborn baby we have not had the time to give him the exercise and attention he needs. We are looking for someone who has the time to take him on walks every day and has a yard for him to play in.

Story
Merlin is just a big love bug! Age: We adopted him at 4 months old from the shelter. We celebrate his birthday as July, 2023 (our best guess). Personality: He is a calm, gentle, tender guy who just wants to cuddle everyone. Most of his day is spent calmly observing the neighborhood, lounging on one elbow. Looks: He has the meltiest, warmest brown eyes that ooze patience. He is lanky (slim on sides with a thin waist) with a smooth, shiny coat. He has a lazy gait and trots when he runs. Kids: He is such an excellent family dog and gentle with all 4 of our kids. Training: He listens to commands (sit, stay, okay, down, come) and is attentive/eager to please. He really is a “gentleman!” Adoption reason: Our allergies are too strong to keep him indoors all day. Our fence is low (30” in spots) and Merlin has figured out how to hop over. Our neighbors panic if dogs get out and it has our whole family on edge.

Story
When you hear German Shepherd, you often think of a fearless guard dog. Remi is like the Scooby-Doo of the GSD group - she will run away from all the scary things! Remi does live up to the GSD reputation by being extremely loyal and loving to her chosen person. It takes a minute to gain her trust, but, once done, she is devoted. She knows how to sit on command and is a smart girl. Remi is nervous around other dogs but seems like she would be social given a little time. Remi is a sweet girl who needs a patient owner to give her just a little time to adjust and blossom into the affectionate girl she truly is.

Story
Holly is full of energy, super sweet, very intelligent, and a little mischievous. Once you win her trust, you’ve got it. But she is still a free spirit. Holly loves to run around. She is constantly on the move and looking for adventure. She needs a home that will allow her several hours of outdoors time a day. Whether that’s long runs/walks or time in a fenced in backyard. If you do not have a fence, that will probably be fine, but she will start testing the limits of how far she can explore. In my experience she always comes back if she does wander. Holly is house trained, but if she doesn’t get out when she wants to go - she will go in the house. And once she’s picked a “spot” that will be where you will always find accidents. She acts like a guard dog - you’ll always know when someone’s at the door. She wants to chase everything. And likes to wrestle and roll in the grass. If she feels cornered or overwhelmed she will act out/defensively.
