Story
One of the very first things I noticed about Stormy Belle is how beautiful she is. I mean she has one of the most majestic looking black coats with a fluffy gray undercoat I've ever seen and has the prettiest golden brown eyes that you get lost in every time. Not only is striking beautiful but Stormy Belle is the definition of a soul dog. you know, the type of dog that comes into your life that feels less like a pet a more like a piece of your heart walking around on four legs. If you know, then you know exactly what were are talking about and if you don't, then sign that dotted line and bring Stormy home! She is a special one, there is no doubt about that and she certainly knows how to make you feel special. Watch her video and you'll fall in love just like we did: https://youtu.be/MMyGq2yAKlE?si=CfX52e9xmqGiPWFD Stormy Belle is a believed to be a Shepherd mix approximately 5.5 years old and around 64lbs. She is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it's always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age. Stormy can be a little shy at first when meeting new people and but trust me when I say it does not take long for her to turn into your little shadow and lover girl. One of the ways to her heart is through a tennis ball, treats, or belly rubs (when she's ready). The second you give her a tennis ball, it's game over and her heart has been captured. You'll see her instantly turn into a puppy, catching balls in the air like she's airbud and she just instantly lights up. Once she's comfortable she is such a goofy and silly girl. She will let you give her belly rubs for days. Stormy would do best in a home with a fenced backyard in the suburbs rather than in the city with all the hustle and bustle. She loves to entertain herself inside and outside, but outside is her fave. Her initial shyness can also be seen when she is in new places she has never been before, but she warms up quickly. The thing about Stormy though is that she wants to explore, she wants to do all these things, she just takes things a little more cautiously and let me tell you, she is loving learning about it all! You can see it in her eyes and the way her nose starts to do those cute twitch like movements, just soaking it all in. Like a kid learning a new skill with their teacher or coach, full of enthusiasm and curiosity, with their listening ears turned on. That's the best way to describe Stormy, haha. Stormy is also dog friendly and has done well with all of the dogs we have introduced her to, she takes her time warming up to them. She has been around dogs her size and even dogs so small they can fit into your purse. She is a gentle lady around them all, especially the little guys. There is something about the little ones that she seems to relate to the most and feels most comfortable with in a home. Yes, Stormy is great around dogs her size and even around big block headed rambunctious fellas, we've just seen her be the most comfortable around the little guys. Stormy isn't very playful with other dogs either, she is more of the roamer type and just likes to hangout and enjoy the fresh air and company, or play with her toys. If you don't have other dogs, that's fine too! She doesn't need the company of another dog to help her feel comfortable or to satisfy her energy needs. She also would love the extra attention. She nose nudges you when she wants pets or if she isn't done getting them, she has no shame (I don't blame her)! Stormy loves treats and loves to learn to new things. When you have those two things combined with how smart Stormy is, you find yourself working with a gal that is easy to train! She already knows how to sit, the down position, seems to understand the "touch" command, and already has a pretty good recall already. She walks well on a leash and is crate trained and potty trained. From what we have seen so far, Stormy also has great house manners and never really gets into things she shouldn't be, except for the trash occasionally (old habits die hard, amirite?), but she responds to correction immediately. She would actually be a great companion if you're someone who works from home because she is quiet and she isn't the type that is going to be constantly bugging you for attention. Not to say that she doesn't love attention because she does, she just isn't a needy gal in those regards. Stormy is a gentle gal who has spent plenty of time around younger children, even as young as 4 years old, and does great with them. She is respectful around young children and loves when they give her treats or play ball with her! She the best at catching balls in the air as we all know. She also allowed a 7 year old to lead her around a party of people in a front yard on a leash like a pro! She is just that gentle and go with the flow. While she’s good-natured and tolerant of the occasional squeal or quick movements from younger children, we believe she would prefer the company of older kids. Older children, around 10 and up are more in tune with her boundaries, they understand when she needs space and can respect her need for a little calm time. Her preference for older children also reflects her love for a calmer, more laidback home environment. We are willing to test Stormy Belle with anything you need to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

Story
The first thing you'll notice about Shasha Honey is her smile. The second thing you'll notice is that she fully expects belly rubs to follow. This girl has perfected the art of dramatically flopping over and presenting her belly as if she's been waiting all day for you to admire her. Between her goofy personality, her love of people, and her ability to make friends wherever she goes, Shasha has a way of making every day a little brighter. She's the type of dog who can spend the afternoon wrestling with her dog friends, hop in the car for an adventure, and then happily curl up beside you for a nap when the day is done. Watch her video and prepare to fall for that adorable smile: https://youtu.be/gmLZ29luitk?si=W98zFOF6X3GFyfLv Shasha Honey is approximately 4 years old, weighs around 50 lbs, and we believe she may be a German Shepherd mix. With rescue it's always a mystery, and we can never guarantee breed or age. One of our favorite things about Shasha is just how versatile she is. She can be playful, goofy, adventurous, cuddly, and relaxed all in the same day. Her foster describes her as calm but quirky, and honestly, that's the perfect description. She has a wonderful balance of energy where she's always up for fun but also knows how to settle down and relax when it's time. Shasha is currently fostered with several other dogs and has done wonderfully with all of them. She especially loves playing with her younger Rottweiler mix foster sibling. The two spend their days wrestling, rolling around in the grass, chasing each other through the yard, and taking turns pouncing on one another in the most entertaining way possible. She's also lived successfully with older dogs who aren't interested in constant play and has shown that she can adjust her energy to match the dog she's spending time with. We think she would absolutely love a playful canine companion in her forever home. Shasha has also met a cat. While she initially showed some curiosity and wanted to investigate, her foster didn't feel it came from a bad place. She appeared more interested than anything else, and with proper introductions and management, she may do well in a home with feline friends. She has also been around a 6-year-old child and absolutely adores him. The two spend tons of time together, and Shasha has proven herself to be gentle, affectionate, and incredibly loving. Her foster specifically noted what a cuddle bug she is with their son, and it's easy to see why she would make such a wonderful family dog. If you're looking for a dog that can be both a best friend and a family companion, Shasha checks a lot of boxes. When it comes to training, Shasha is both crate trained and potty trained. She sleeps quietly in her crate at night, spends time crated during normal work hours, and even eats her meals in her crate. In fact, her foster believes her crate may actually be a comfort space for her because she seems to genuinely enjoy having it available. She's also learned how to sit and wait patiently for food and continues to impress her foster with how eager she is to learn. Shasha is a big fan of car rides and is always excited to see where the road leads. She enjoys looking out the window, happily rides along, and seems perfectly content accompanying her people on adventures. Whether it's a trip to the park, a scenic drive, or running errands around town, Shasha is ready to be your co-pilot. Her energy level is another thing we love about her. She can spend hours playing and zooming around with her dog friends, but she's just as happy to plop down for a long nap afterward. She doesn't need constant entertainment and isn't bouncing off the walls. Instead, she has that wonderful middle-ground personality that makes her adaptable to so many different lifestyles. As for her ideal home, we think Shasha would thrive in a home with a yard where she can stretch her legs, play with a dog friend, enjoy some zoomies, and soak up the sunshine. She truly seems like the type of dog who can fit into almost any loving home. Her foster summed it up perfectly when they said, "Shasha is a light. She would fit in absolutely anywhere." If you're looking for a dog with a giant smile, a goofy personality, a soft heart, and a never-ending supply of belly rub requests, Shasha might just be your perfect match. We are willing to test Shasha Honey with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

Sushi Soft Life

German Shepherd Dog

Story
Sushi is here to help makes a quiet life, the good life. Let's paint the picture of the average day with Sushi- A little neighborhood walk, breakfast at home, some leisurely wandering while you go about your day, and then, without warning, her signature flop. Front end down, head committed, whole body following in one wonderfully unnecessary collapse onto the floor. It is dramatic, hilarious, and completely Sushi. At three and a half years old, she is a beautifully mild-mannered shepherd with a loving nature and a wonderfully uncomplicated approach to life. She doesn't need a packed social calendar or miles of adventure to feel fulfilled. Give Sushi a comfortable home, people to love, a few little outings here and there, and a place to perform her signature flop, and she will bring all the makings of one perfectly content dog. Go watch Sushi on YouTube, featuring her signature flop Sushi does not simply lie down. She starts at the front and commits to a full-body, head-first flop that somehow travels through the rest of her like a domino. It is completely unnecessary, strangely theatrical, and one of our favorite things about her. https://youtu.be/2pZVKjGDuEk With people, Sushi is loving, gentle and kind. She tends to move through new experiences slowly and steadily rather than rushing headfirst into everything. Give her a little time to take in a new place and she settles beautifully. With people though, it's easy connections from the start- leaning in for affection and rubbing against people for more. She isn't timid by nature so much as wonderfully soft and unhurried. That easy temperament carries over beautifully to other dogs. Sushi meets new dogs of all shapes, sizes and personalities with wonderful social manners. She shares space and treats comfortably, reads other dogs well and can slip into a group without creating friction. Sushi isn't looking to run the show. She's happy to mingle, sniff hello, wander around and simply exist comfortably alongside everyone else. Her current dog style is much more companion than playmate. She showes some curiosity when other dogs are running and playing, but she isn't desperate to jump into the action. A friendly, playful and socially appropriate dog could encourage her silly side to emerge, while another mellow dog could make an equally lovely roommate. She is the kind of dog who can enjoy canine company but doesn't need another dog to entertain her. Sushi also did well meeting our house cat. We would pair her with a calm, dog-savvy cat who is comfortable sharing a home with dogs. At home, we think Sushi's greatest talent may simply be being easy to have around. She doesn't need someone planning hikes, daycare, brewery patios and weekend adventures just to keep her satisfied. Short daily walks, time at home with her people, sniffing around the yard and the occasional neighborhood outing sound much more her speed. She can absolutely come along and enjoy life with you, but she doesn't need to be included in every single plan to be happy. For someone who wants the companionship of a shepherd without feeling responsible for maintaining a shepherd-sized social calendar, Sushi would be a lovely fit. Her foster uses a crate, and Sushi walks into it easily. She has basic leash skills and responds well to handler direction. She currently has a comfortable middle-of-the-road energy level, with plenty of room for some extra pep and playfulness to emerge as she gains weight and settles fully into home life. appropriately secured. Sushi isn't asking for a complicated life. Her dream is beautifully simple- a home that feels good, loving people, maybe a canine friend or a respectful kitty roommate, neighborhood strolls, and the freedom to settle into the rhythm of everyday life. She is loving without being demanding, social without being pushy, and steady in a way that makes imagining her as part of your home feel remarkably easy. Apply to adopt Sushi and give this gentle girl a soft place to land.

Story
Looking for a handsome, adventurous partner to share in all of life’s big exploits? Meet Bruno! This striking, tricolor German Shepherd mix puppy is an absolute ray of sunshine wrapped in a beautiful plush coat. Bruno is a naturally happy, sweet, and deeply loving boy who approaches every single day with a wagging tail and an eager heart. Don't let his young age fool you—Bruno is already proving to be remarkably level-headed and uniquely well-suited for life on a farm or homestead! While most puppies might be overwhelmed by the sights and sounds of rural life, Bruno takes it all in stride. He has already been safely exposed to and is entirely comfortable around horses, goats, and other dogs. Whether he’s watching the daily chores or trotting along the fence line, his brave and curious spirit shines through. He is a natural outdoor companion who thrives when he has a perimeter to explore and a family to watch over. When the barn chores are done for the day, Bruno’s exceptionally sweet nature takes center stage. He absolutely adores people, including the very littlest humans! He is incredibly gentle and loving with children, making him the ultimate choice for an active family dog. If you are looking for a grounded, joyful, and versatile pup who is just as ready to hang out with horses as he is to curl up at your feet for evening cuddles, Bruno is ready to hitch a ride to his forever home!
