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
Kano is a handsome 4-year-old German Shepherd with a heart of gold and a deep love for his people. He’s affectionate, loyal, and thrives on companionship, often following his favorite humans from room to room or snuggling at the foot of the bed. Kano is smart, potty-trained, and crate-trained, and he knows commands like sit and stay. He loves walks, playtime, and especially his light-up balls. He needs a dog-free home and is not suitable for cats or small children. Kano requires a strong, experienced adopter who can provide consistent training and guidance. He can be cautious around strangers and may growl to set boundaries, but with structure, patience, and positive leadership, he flourishes. In the right home, Kano will be a devoted, protective, and loving companion, offering loyalty, affection, and joy every day.

German Shepherd Dog

Male, 2 yrs 9 mos
Rossville, GA
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Electro is a handsome, affectionate 2-year-old, 65-pound dog with a charming personality and plenty of love to give. He’s medium energy, enjoying playtime, fetch, and zoomies, followed by cozy cuddle sessions on the couch. He’s potty-trained and crate-trained, and he’s excellent in his crate — quiet, calm, and well-behaved. Electro knows sit and shake, takes treats gently, and does not resource guard food or toys. He still shows some puppy-like behaviors, such as jumping when excited and being mouthy during play, but he’s learning and thriving in his foster home. Electro was nervous in the shelter, and while he’s come out of his shell, he can still be shy in new surroundings. His ideal home would be adult-only, with someone patient and committed to consistent training. He needs a home where he can focus on learning, building confidence, and receiving the love he deserves. If you’re looking for a playful, cuddly, and affectionate companion who will brighten your days with love, energy, and personality, Electro might just be the perfect match. Will you be his forever home?

Holly

Belgian Malinois Mutt

Female, Young
Chattanooga, TN
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
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.
