Story
Are you looking for some fun and excitement? I'm up for the job! Me and my big sissy Princess just love going on adventures and giving our human friends lots of good exercise out in the great outdoors. Whether you're in the mood for hiking, swimming or ball throwing, we're game. We are the perfect companions for those who enjoy playing fetch and giving belly rubs. We love our human friends very much, and we like to show our affection by making them laugh! They tell me that I'm kind of a character with my rakish grin and playful demeanor. It's nearly impossible to not smile in my presence! True to my breed, I'm loyal and loving through and through. I also have a few quirks that carried over from my hard luck life back in California, where I struggled with shelter life. They almost split me and my sis apart, but Final Frontier swooped in and saved the day. As I said, I'm Lucky! So I'm optimistic that another hero will step right up and take the two of us home. Our ideal adopter would have experience with German Shepherds and the patience to give us slow introductions to new people. We will also need a backyard for running and playing. So what do you say? Are you feeling Lucky? Sorry, couldn't help myself! Please come meet us today so we can show you all that we have to offer!

She seems to be crate trained and takes her toys in there and lays down. Trinity has lived with dogs in the past and could go to a home with a calm dog. A meet and greet is recommended to make sure that both pups are a good match.Her previous owner said that Trinity loves paddleboarding and swimming, and that she knows many commands: sit, stay, down, come, shake and rollover.Come meet this precious girl and see her flourish in a home setting.

Her playful spirit and curious personality will shine through every day. Fetch is her favorite. This lady will either have a tennis ball in her mouth, or will be chasing after it in the play yard. She also enjoys tug, puzzle toys and fetch indoors as well as cuddles. She`s very smart and food motivated. She is currently in a foster home. She is the perfect house guest - potty trained, crate trained and only plays with dog toys. She loves going outside, fetch is her favorite but she also enjoys walks and jogs. She is a great cuddler as well. Her foster lives in an apartment and she does well there although her foster thinks Lucy would love having a backyard. Her foster works a hybrid job & Lucy does well when her foster is at work for 8 hours & is a good work from home buddy on days her foster works from home.Stunning Lucy arrived at AAC in December. She loved sharing a kennel with another dog at the shelter, which means she might just make the perfect doggy sister to your resident dog.

Howdy there, I`m Deepak! I`m a confident, handsome, and happy-go-lucky pup who is full of life and bound to make you smile!To start off with the basics, I`m highly housetrained - my kennel is often spotless when you come visit. If I`m ever loud in my kennel, it means I REALLY need to pee! I get along with some dogs and have been previously paired with another dog. If you already have a furry friend, let`s do a meet and greet to see how we get on! I have medium energy, so after I have my fun outside, I love to relax and get some attention from my humans.Now onto the fun stuff! I LOVE rolling in the grass (check out my photos and video!). If you ever have the pleasure of taking a walk with me, you`ll see me flopping down on the nice comfy patch of grass and rolling around to my heart`s content! It`s so fun and I look so silly that it`ll make you laugh. I`m back to business afterwards though, and walk very nicely on leash. Whether it`s walks, or a good time in a yard where I can explore and roll around, I`m up for all it!I also happen to know two commands that I`ve perfected - sit and speak! I know them so well that I`ll hop on a bench or picnic table so I can show off my skills! Plus, it lets me get closer to you for the best pets and massages.I can be cuddly once I get to know you - fun fact, I have a vague Texas-shaped spot on my head that you can see when I rest my big ol` head on your lap.Overall, I`m a standout pup who`s looking for a standout human. Come see me at AAC or share my page with someone who is looking for a loving companion!

Story
Ruby, formerly known as Miss Scarlett, is the sweetest little pup! She’s potty trained and loves the companionship of another dog. Ruby knows her name and to sit, and is learning “paw” and “lay down”. Ruby is a dream on leash. She likes to stop and smell the flowers but easily keeps pace on a run. Ruby would thrive in a house with another a dog. Ruby is crate trained for the night as well as when she’s home without supervision. Ruby has some separation anxiety when left alone, but luckily feels right at home if she’s in the house with another dog. She loves companionship and cuddles. She has yet to tear apart anything but toys and is great at sharing with other dogs. Her favorite games are tug of war and fetch. She is a high energy but low maintenance dog because she keeps herself occupied with toys and her canine companion.
