Story
Nala is an approximately 3-4 year old German Shepard/ Border Collie/ Chow Chow mix. She is a very sweet indoor dog and is well suited to either an apartment or a house due to her calm nature. She gets very attached to you and will lay down close by wherever you are once you've formed a bond with each other. She is of course house-trained. She LOVES playing fetch more than anything else in the world. Other than that, she loves sitting outside, playing in creeks, getting belly rubs, and doing simple tricks for treats. She is slightly anxious with new people, things, and environments. With that in mind, she is not suited for a family with young children or any overall chaotic household. Nala is not spayed yet.

Story
Alfi is now 4 years old, born in November 2021. Alfi is very loving, kind and energetic however he can no longer stay with me. I have farm animals which he does not get along with. He does get along with other dogs if introduced slowly but plays a bit too aggressive for smaller dogs. He responds well to his name, however if he is unleashed in an open area he will take off. knows his basic commands like sit, wait, go. He needs someone who is active, to go on walks or runs multiple times a day. He is very loving however he needs a bit of patience and time when being introduced to new people and pets. please message me for further details.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hi there, I'm Bestest Buddy and I am so pleased to meet you! I am a large, 2yr old German Shepherd mix, and as my name suggests I am quite friendly, and I love making new human acquaintances! I am looking for a family with breed experience, as I am a good guard dog of the house, and I need a fair leader who can help me with proper boundaries. If I had to break down my talents it would look something like this:   Best Qualities: - loves kids and adults - loves to play fetch, tug, and go for runs (I need a yard to play in daily) - learning weight pull (a really fun dogsport) - crate trained (not my favorite place though) - knows commands like sit, down, place, wait, stay, heel, middle, front - a great cuddler - I come with a donated training package from Dynamic K9!   Needs Improvement: - dog selective, and at this stage in my training I need to be the only dog in your home (I am muzzle trained and currently do socials at my trainer's home with her dogs) - no cats or small animals please (my husky side likes to take over when they run!) - velcro dog (I am working on being confident and ok on my own)   If you think you have room in your schedule to help me continue my self-improvement, then I would love to meet you!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Charmin Carmen – Your Loyal Shadow and Gentle Sweetheart   Charmin Carmen is a 2-ish-year-old German Shepherd mix with a heart as big as her beautiful brown eyes. At 62 pounds, she’s still gaining weight, but her spirit is already strong and full of love. Sweet, affectionate, and endlessly loyal, Charmin Carmen is the kind of dog who wants nothing more than to be part of every moment—she’s got a little FOMO and loves to be wherever you are, soaking up attention and joining in on the fun. Charmin Carmen is wonderfully gentle and patient with kids, great with other dogs, and even gets along beautifully with cats and chickens. She truly is a gem. She is also: •Crate trained •House trained •Dog-door trained •Food motivated and eager to learn   She does have a Level 5 heart murmur, which she manages with daily medication costing about $200 per month. Carmen handles her meds like a champ, and they help her live a happy, comfortable life. Also, due to her heart murmur, she isn’t able to be safely spayed so her adopter will need to agree to keep her away from un-neutered males unsupervised. It wouldn’t be good for her to get pregnant.   Carmen is “very sweet with everyone,” but what makes her truly special is how deeply she bonds with her people. If you’re looking for a warm, devoted companion who will follow you with unwavering love, Carmen is your girl. Carmen is ready for her forever home—a place where she can be safe, cherished, and included in all the moments she loves.   If you think you might be the perfect match for Carmen, fill out an application to meet her today!  https://bit.ly/RRAdoptionApplication Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 4, 2025, 3:29 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Hi! I’m Mighty Mike, but my humans call me Mikey! I’m a very sweet and affectionate 5-year-old shepherd mix. Here are some of the best things about me: - I’m the biggest cuddle bug you’ll ever meet. If there’s a lap to be sat on I want to sit in it! I just love snuggling up to my humans. - I love going on walks and going for drives (I’m great in the car!). I also love pup cups, treats, taking naps, and chewing on bones! - I’m fully crate and potty trained, plus I know basic commands, but I would love to work on some training to learn even more. I’m a bit of a jumping jelly bean but we’re working on that! - I’m eager to please and pick up on training really quickly -  I do great with other dogs as long as they’re not too rambunctious. I like to play some, but mostly just want to do my own thing. I'd love to go to a loving family who will include me in their activities. I love all humans that I meet and do really well around kids, but sometimes I can get overly excited, so a home with kids over 8 years old would be best for me. And no kitties for me, please!
