Story
Imagine the cutest little baby grizzly bear you've ever seen. Big fluffy paws. Soft fuzzy fur. That chunky little puppy body that makes you wonder if he's ever going to figure out where all four feet are supposed to go. Now make him incredibly sweet, give him the happiest little personality, and suddenly you've got Chip Cherry. He's fluffy, ridiculously adorable, and one of those puppies that makes you instinctively reach down to pick him up every single time he waddles by. He has this innocent little face that's impossible to say no to, but don't let it fool you. He's also got a fun side. He loves his toys, enjoys exploring whatever catches his attention, and has just enough playful confidence to keep life entertaining without ever being the wild child of the group. Chip is currently thriving in a foster home where he's beginning to explore the world through play, naps, mealtime routines, and gentle socialization. Right now life is wonderfully simple. Chase a toy. Wrestle with his siblings. Eat. Nap. Wake up and do it all over again. If we're being honest... he's pretty much living every puppy's dream. Watch his video and try not to fall completely in love: https://youtu.be/JF2tI03AUOM?si=cf2FJDQWwALwDMyt This handsome little guy is Chip. He is approximately 1 month old and currently weighs around 10 lbs. We believe he may be a German Shepherd/Great Pyrenees mix, but with rescue it's always a mystery and we can never guarantee breed. So far, Chip has one of those personalities that's just easy to love. He's playful without being over-the-top, curious without getting himself into too much trouble, and confident enough to happily check out new things without needing to be the first one into absolutely everything. He has a wonderful balance to him already. He's perfectly happy bouncing around with a toy or playing with his siblings, but the second you sit down, he's more than willing to wander over and see if there's room for him too. One of our favorite things about Chip is that he doesn't have to be doing anything special to make you smile. He'll be happily carrying around a toy that's almost as big as he is, trotting across the yard with his fluffy little puppy legs, or looking up at you with that sweet face like he's waiting to see what adventure comes next. He's just one of those puppies that makes people happy simply by being himself. The puppy stage doesn't last very long, but it's easily one of the most rewarding adventures you'll ever experience. You get to watch them discover the world for the very first time. The first walk. The first road trip. The first camping trip. The first birthday. The first time they realize they can splash in water. Those are the moments you'll never forget, and Chip's future family gets to experience every single one of them right alongside him. Like every puppy, Chip will need a family that's ready to help him grow into the incredible dog he's meant to be. Continued socialization, routine, structure, training, and lots of positive experiences will all help build his confidence as he grows. We also require adopters to begin crate training as soon as their puppy arrives home. Crate training plays an important role in potty training, creating healthy routines, building independence, and raising a well-rounded adult dog. If your dream puppy is sweet, fluffy, playful, and the perfect mix of fun and easygoing, Chip might just be your guy. Fair warning though... if you bring him home, don't be surprised when people constantly stop you to ask what kind of adorable little bear you're walking. We have a feeling this handsome little guy is going to turn heads everywhere he goes. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

Story
There is just something about Teddy Bear. Maybe it's because he's the tiniest of his litter. Maybe it's his sweet little face. Maybe it's the way he looks at you with those innocent puppy eyes like he's still trying to figure this big world out. Whatever it is, this little guy has a way of making everyone who meets him immediately want to scoop him up, cover him in kisses, and protect him forever. Teddy has the kind of gentle soul that's impossible not to fall in love with. He's sweet, calm, affectionate, and perfectly content soaking up cuddles before happily wandering off to play with a toy. While his siblings are busy showing off their bigger personalities, Teddy is quietly stealing hearts just by being himself. There's something so peaceful about him. He's the puppy you find yourself checking on just because he's so darn precious. Watch his video and prepare to completely fall in love: https://youtu.be/JF2tI03AUOM?si=cf2FJDQWwALwDMyt This sweet little guy is Teddy. He is approximately 1 month old and currently weighs around 10 lbs. We believe he may be a German Shepherd/Great Pyrenees mix, but with rescue it's always a mystery and we can never guarantee breed. Teddy is currently thriving in a foster home where he's beginning to explore the world through play, naps, mealtime routines, and gentle socialization. Right now life is wonderfully simple. Chase a toy. Wrestle with his siblings. Eat. Nap. Wake up and do it all over again. It's a pretty great life if you ask him. Teddy is exactly what his name makes you picture. Gentle, sweet, affectionate, and just an all-around easy little guy to love. He enjoys playing with toys and joining in on puppy fun with his siblings, but he has a naturally calmer personality that's already beginning to shine through. He's the puppy that reminds you to slow down for a minute, scoop him up, and enjoy all the little moments that make puppyhood so special. Being the smallest of the litter definitely has its perks because let's be honest... everyone babies Teddy a little bit. And can you blame them? He has this innocent little face and gentle personality that make it nearly impossible to walk past him without giving him a cuddle. If you're the type of person whose favorite part of having a puppy is the quiet snuggles just as much as the playtime, Teddy is going to fit into your heart so easily. The puppy stage doesn't last very long, but it's one of the most rewarding adventures you'll ever get to experience. Watching Teddy discover new things, celebrate his little victories, and slowly grow into the dog he's meant to be is something his future family will get to be part of every single day. There really is nothing quite like raising a puppy that's been loved from the very beginning. Like every puppy, Teddy will need a family that's ready to guide him through all the important parts of growing up. Continued socialization, training, routine, structure, and plenty of positive experiences will help him develop into a confident, well-rounded adult dog. We also require adopters to begin crate training right away, as it helps with potty training, learning healthy routines, building confidence, and creating a safe space that's all his own. Teddy may be the littlest of his brothers and sisters today, but we have a feeling he's going to leave the biggest paw prints on someone's heart. All this sweet little guy needs now is a family to call his own, a toy or two to carry around, and people who can't wait to spoil him with all the love he deserves.

Story
Some puppies are perfectly happy letting life happen around them. Autumn? She wants to be right in the middle of it. She's the little girl happily trotting over to see what you're doing, proudly carrying around a toy that's almost as big as she is, and making sure she doesn't miss out on anything fun. She's got this adorable little spark about her that just makes you smile. She's a little spunkier than her brothers, a little more adventurous, and already showing us she's got a fun personality all her own. But don't let that confident little spirit fool you. Underneath it all is one incredibly sweet puppy that loves her people, loves her toys, and is always happy to soak up a cuddle once playtime is over. She has that perfect mix of playful, affectionate, curious, and confident that makes puppyhood so much fun. Honestly... she's the kind of puppy that's going to keep you laughing one minute and completely melt your heart the next. Autumn is currently thriving in a foster home where she's beginning to explore the world through play, naps, mealtime routines, and gentle socialization. Right now life is wonderfully simple. Chase a toy. Wrestle with her siblings. Eat. Nap. Wake up and do it all over again. It's a pretty great life if you ask her. Watch her video and prepare to fall in love: https://youtu.be/JF2tI03AUOM?si=cf2FJDQWwALwDMyt This sweet girl is Autumn. She is approximately 1 month old and currently weighs around 10 lbs. We believe she may be a German Shepherd/Great Pyrenees mix, but with rescue it's always a mystery and we can never guarantee breed. Autumn is everything you'd hope for in a puppy. She's playful, curious, sweet, and absolutely loves toys. Give her something to chase, carry around, or investigate and she's one happy little girl. She has this fun personality that's already starting to shine. She's confident enough to check out new things first, independent enough to entertain herself for a bit, and just mischievous enough to keep you smiling. Nothing over the top, just enough puppy shenanigans to remind you she's still a baby discovering the world. One thing that's impossible to miss is that Autumn seems pretty convinced she's the little princess of the litter. Her brothers may be bigger one day, but right now she's got no problem keeping up with them and occasionally acting like she's the one calling the shots. It's honestly pretty adorable. She has this quiet confidence that makes her fun to watch, but she's never too busy for affection. Once she's finished her latest puppy adventure, she's more than happy to curl up with her people and recharge before doing it all over again. One of the best parts about adopting a puppy is getting to experience all of life's firsts together. Her first walk. Her first camping trip. Her first birthday. Her first swim. Watching her discover the world and grow into the amazing dog she's meant to become is something you'll never forget. These puppy days go by so quickly, and whoever adopts Autumn gets to be there for every exciting milestone. Like every puppy, Autumn will need a family that's ready to invest the time, patience, and consistency puppyhood requires. Continued socialization, routine, boundaries, training, and lots of positive experiences will help her grow into a confident, well-rounded adult dog. We also require adopters to begin crate training right away, as it plays an important role in potty training, learning healthy routines, building confidence, and helping puppies settle independently. If you've been dreaming about raising a puppy that's sweet, playful, confident, full of personality, and just the right amount of spunky, Autumn is ready to make your house a whole lot happier. All she needs now is a family to grow up with, plenty of toys to carry around, and people to love for the rest of her life. https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/6a3193db0306b97f8d0b96a6 Questions?

Goose McGraw Wingman Best Boy

German Shepherd Dog

Male, 1 yr

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Story
Goose McGraw has absolutely no interest in being the main character. He's happiest playing the role of trusted sidekick, loyal wingman, dependable plus one, or the steady companion who's simply happy to be part of the pack. He doesn't need to be first through the door or the life of the party. The funny thing is, dogs like Goose have a way of becoming everyone's favorite anyway. Go watch Goose McGraw on YouTube, then come right back to read more about this wonderfully thoughtful young gentleman. https://youtu.be/MEYpt6TtoPs Estimated to be around a year old, Goose looks very much like a Shepherd mix and weighs 47 pounds. As with all rescue dogs, his breed and age are simply our best guess. What we know for certain is that he is one remarkably thoughtful young dog with a gentle heart, an adaptable nature, and the kind of easygoing personality that makes bringing him along feel refreshingly simple. Goose truly shines as a "plus one" dog. He doesn't need to lead the pack, compete for attention, or organize the social calendar. He's happiest blending into the group and taking his cues from his canine companions. More than simply enjoying other dogs, they genuinely help him feel secure and confident. Because of that, we think Goose will be happiest in a home with another calm, well-mannered dog who can help show him the ropes and share everyday life with him. Whether they're tiny, giant, playful, or mellow, Goose has a remarkable gift for getting along with dogs of all sizes. He'll happily join in a little play when the mood strikes, but he's every bit as content simply existing alongside his canine friends. One of Goose's loveliest qualities is the way he approaches the world. Rather than charging headfirst into every new experience, he quietly takes everything in, decides it's all perfectly reasonable, and then carries on with calm confidence. During his time with us he rode beautifully in the car, navigated elevators without hesitation, settled comfortably into a brand-new hotel, and explored unfamiliar places with quiet curiosity instead of worry. He isn't looking for excitement around every corner. He's simply happy to be wherever his people happen to be. Meeting new people follows much the same pattern. Goose likes to observe first and decide that everything feels safe before diving into new friendships. He tends to warm up a bit more quickly with women, while men may need a little extra patience in the beginning. The nice part is that Goose isn't dramatic about it. He isn't looking for an escape route or making a fuss. He simply likes to gather the facts first. Give him a little time, a gentle approach, and some consistency, and you'll quickly discover the affectionate dog underneath. In fact, after just one day of adventures together, Goose had already decided sleeping beside his foster was exactly where he belonged. Living with Goose is refreshingly uncomplicated. He rides beautifully in the car, walks politely on leash, settles easily wherever the day takes him, and is happy to accompany you on everyday outings. If your adventures happen to include a lake, creek, or splash of water, Goose is all in. Add a pup cup on the drive home and you've officially planned his perfect afternoon. Once the fun is over, he'll happily thank you with what can only be described as an Olympic-level nap, usually sporting a content little smile that says the day was exactly right. While Goose is wonderfully adaptable, we believe he'll be happiest in a quieter home where life moves at a comfortable pace. He isn't looking for constant excitement or endless activity. He's looking for kind people, a predictable routine, another good dog to call family, and a home where he can continue building confidence at his own pace. Once Goose realizes he's safe, his sweet, loyal personality quietly unfolds, revealing a companion who simply wants to belong. Goose has also met a cat and was polite, respectful, and appropriately cautious during his introduction, suggesting he could do well living with a feline friend after slow, thoughtful introductions. If you've been searching for a dog who doesn't need to steal the spotlight but somehow makes every day feel steadier, calmer, and just a little more complete, Goose might be exactly who you've been missing. He's the kind of dog who reminds you that the very best companions aren't always the loudest or the boldest. Sometimes they're simply the ones quietly walking beside you, happy to be part of your pack. If you're interested in adopting Goose, please fill out an application on our website. One of our adoption coordinators will happily answer any questions and help determine whether Goose is the perfect fit for your family. Ready to make the first move?

Story
Walker is a truly special boy who embodies all the best qualities of man's best friend. With a heart as big as his playful spirit, he is affectionate, brave, curious, friendly, funny, smart, and always up for a good time. Walker loves toys and will happily play with any toy you put in front of him. He is a quick learner and always eager to explore and discover new things. Walker is the epitome of a loyal companion and will bring endless love, laughter, and joy to his forever family. This sweet boy was found laying on the side of the road with most of his fur missing and was absolutely COVERED in flea and fire ant bits. He was so very pitiful, and was just lying there waiting for someone to notice him. Walker is that special pup that loves to be with his humans but he can also entertain himself. He is an excellent sleeper and prefers his bed to be on the rug beside your bed. He stays in a foster home where he gets along well with dogs of all sizes as well as cats. This is an Out Of Town listing, we transport near the city on this listing. Adoption fee is $450 which includes transport. _______________________________ Considering adoption? Start by filling out our online application (copy and paste the following link) https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/DIX/dog Once submitted, well review it and reach out to approved applicants by phone or email. A Petfinder Inquiry is not the same as an application - COMPLETED APPLICATIONS TAKE PRECEDENCE OVER INQUIRIES. If you are interested in adopting, the FIRST step is to complete an application. If your application was successfully submitted you will get a generated confirmation email. DO NOT SUBMIT AN APPLICATION IF YOU ARE NOT CURRENTLY READY TO ADOPT. Our animals are currently residing in a foster home in South Mississippi where major animal overpopulation means less homes. We only transport them once adopted, in most instances, we can be available for a video call once an application has been approved. We list them on Petfinder in the locations where we travel. WE PERSONALLY TRANSPORT OUR OWN adopted animals to meet their new families. We transport every 2-3 weeks. We facilitate adoptions through our own internal transport to ensure the quality of care. We travel to VA, MD, PA, NJ, CT, VT, and NY. Our dogs travel in comfort with 24/7 care. We have been facilitating long distance adoptions since 2019. ***Breed input is required for each platform but is not guaranteed to be accurate. We do not DNA test. We rescue animals from different situations. We discuss breed assignments with our vets to label them as accurately as possible. *** We are currently unable to adopt pets to ME and RI residents

Story
Peaches is a 9-month-old German Shepherd with a story that has come full circle. She was born in our care, adopted into a home at 8 weeks old, and has now found her way back to us through no fault of her own.Like many young Shepherds, Peaches is smart, active, and eager to explore the world around her. She loves people, enjoys playing with toys, and is happiest when she has an outlet for her energy and curiosity. She has done well around other dogs and may enjoy having a canine companion in her new home.One of Peaches` favorite activities is going for walks, especially on a long lead where she can take her time sniffing and exploring. While she is friendly and affectionate, she can be a little shy when faced with new places and unfamiliar situations. Continued socialization and positive experiences will help her build confidence and become the best version of herself.Peaches is looking for a family that understands the needs of a young German Shepherd and is ready to help her continue learning, growing, and thriving. In return, she`ll offer loyalty, companionship, and plenty of fun along the way.
