German Shepherd Dog

Female, 2 yrs 10 mos
Salt Lake City, UT
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Sahara is our two year old, previously feral German Shepherd mama who came to us a year ago from Palmdale desert in California. A friend reached out to us saying she was found in the desert and being cared for by a kind samaritan but needed a rescue to step in and help, so we said yes! She gave birth to 10 adorable puppies out there. Sahara has come out of her shell tons in the past year. She is house trained, crate trained, trained to go in and out of the car, can go on off leash hikes, is wonderful on leash AND is great with dogs/kids/humans. She is the total package. She can still be timid with initial greetings and take a little bit to warm up but once she does, she is the biggest love bug you will ever meet and super loyal to her family. Sahara is one of the sweetest and most sensitive dogs who will thrive with a family who is caring, loving, patient and kind.

Story
Hi! I’m Puumba! Like my namesake, I am looking for a worry-free life. My human’s living situation has changed unexpectedly in the last year, and our current situation isn’t working so well for me as it is such a big change from what I am used to. I would do best in a place with a yard where I can get all of my energy out, or with someone who can take me to the dog park often. I am working on leash training, and sometimes get a little over excited when I meet new people and really want to jump up and greet them properly! I also get a little frustrated to be on a leash when I want to say hi to all my friends. I’m working on it though, and am the bestest boi at a lot of basic commands. I would be a great addition to your home, just not with small children because I have never been around them and they are VERY unpredictable which is a little scary for me. I have so many cuddles to give, and so much love to share.

Story
Meet Shyanne!This 1.5-year-old, 40lb Belgian Malinois mix—affectionately known as ShyShy or Maligator—is equal parts sweetness, silliness, and wiggle-butt enthusiasm. Found as a stray in rural Utah, she started out scared of everything, but with love and patience she’s blossoming into a happy, affectionate, kiss-giving girl.Shyanne adores other dogs and lives for playtime—running, chasing, and wrestling with her foster sisters. She would not thrive as an only dog, so a confident canine buddy is a must for her.She’s both housetrained and crate trained, and her crate is her safe space… though she prefers it without fluffy bedding (those don’t last long!). Like a true young Malinois, she’s smart, curious, and can be a bit sneaky when she’s bored. Chew toys, bones, and peanut-butter Kongs are her love language.With continued confidence-building and basic training, ShyShy has the potential to be an incredible running or hiking partner. She’s definitely not a couch potato—she needs an active home and a securely fenced yard to stretch her legs and enjoy her zoomies.If you’re looking for a loyal, playful, energetic companion with a heart of gold, Shyanne is ready to be your girl.Dogs are not placed on a first-come, first-serve basis. We strive to find the perfect home for each animal. Applications may take up to 48 hours to process. All CAWS animals are fixed, microchipped, and vaccinated. Her adoption fee is $200.
