Story
Meet Trigger! 🐾 Trigger is a loyal, affectionate German Shepherd mix we rescued at 9 months old. Once she trusts you, she’s goofy, loving, and enjoys pig ears, cheese, and bell peppers. She is house trained, crate trained, knows sit and lay down, and has decent recall (but still needs work, especially around squirrels and other dogs). Trigger has struggled with resource guarding since we adopted her and needs an experienced owner who understands dog behavior and will continue working with her using positive reinforcement. She must be the only pet and is not suited for a home with children. She is cautious around strangers, especially men, though some men have earned her trust with slow introductions. A meet-and-greet is required. Her ideal home is a calm, adult-only home with someone who will give her patience, structure, and lots of love. Finding the right home is far more important to us than finding the fastest one.

AMAZING dog that LOVES other dogs and people! Not a big fan of cats. He wants to be around people as much as possible! And wants to play with every dog that’s around! He’s legit a big ole puppy! I’m not doing an adoption fee because I genuinely just want him to go to a good home where he’s loved!

Story
DOB 1/5/25 Mom is German Shepherd, dad is Shar Pie / bird dog mix. Loves people, dogs and cats, no experience with children, but I'm sure he'd do well. Working on potty training, we still take him outside every 1-2 hours. Ty loves playing outside with his sisters, rolling in the dirt (gives me no trouble when I wipe his face with a wet rag), having his big floppy ears rubbed, and belly scratches. He loves his alone time, but at bedtime, he snuggles up and sleeps with his head on me. When coming in from outside he sits and waits for his treat, and is very gentle when taking it. He is a great eater, his favorite treats are raw carrots, blueberries and "pupcicles" (frozen greek yogurt with raw chicken gizzards and blueberries. He is a drooler when food is around. He is an "old soul" and so loving. Adoption fee includes all shots and neuter. Doing well on a leash, with a harness.

Story
DOB 1/5/25 Mom is German Shepherd, dad is Shar Pie / bird dog mix. Loves people, dogs and cats, no experience with children, but I'm sure she'd do well. Working on potty training (we still take her outside every 1-2 hours) and leash training (doing okay with a harness). She loves chasing bubbles, wrestling with her brother & sister, playing with her many toys (more squeakers the better), laying right next to me all the time, snuggling and giving kisses. She does not care for baths or nail trims, or being awakened from a deep sleep. She will eat anything you give her, her favorites being raw carrots, blueberries and "pupsicles" (frozen greek yogurt with raw chicken gizzards and blueberries) We're still working on leash training. VERY food motivated. When she comes in from outside, she will sit and wait for her treat. She's just such a sweetheart, but likes to be the boss. Adoption fee includes all vaccines and spay.
