Story
Ranger is a sweet and goofy 10-year-old shepherd mix who will steal your heart with his big smile and love for walks. He’s happiest when exploring the outdoors or spending time with his favorite humans. Ranger prefers to be the only dog in the home—he doesn’t do well with other dogs—so he’s looking for a space where he can shine solo. He has no known history with cats, and we think he would do well with calm, older children who respect his space. This brave boy came to us with severe skin and ear infections, and he had lost much of his fur. Thanks to lots of care, his coat is growing back beautifully! Ranger is currently foster-to-adopt because he still needs medications and vet visits, but he’s making amazing progress and deserves a loving forever home. If you’re ready to give a resilient, affectionate pup the second chance he deserves, Ranger is waiting for you!

Story
Sasha is a beautiful 5-year-old German Shepherd with a calm, stoic personality. She loves to watch the world go by and will happily engage with people once she knows you. Sweet and loyal, Sasha has already raised puppies and was very protective of them—but she will be spayed before adoption, so that won’t be an issue moving forward. Sasha needs to be the only dog in the home. She may do okay with dog-savvy cats and is comfortable around older children who respect her space. This girl is looking for an experienced shepherd-savvy home—someone who understands the breed and can give her the structure and love she deserves. If you’re ready for a devoted companion who will quietly keep watch over your world, Sasha is waiting for you!

Story
Lilly is a stunning 10-month-old German Shepherd with a big personality and an even bigger need for the right home. At this age, she’s at a challenging stage and desperately needs consistent training and structure to help her thrive. Lilly can be distrusting of strangers, but once she knows you, she’s incredibly sweet and loves to engage. She does okay with other dogs but can be reactive, so slow, careful introductions are a must. She may do fine with dog-savvy cats, but no children for this girl. Lilly must go to an experienced shepherd home—someone who understands the breed and is committed to giving her the guidance and confidence she needs. With the right person, Lilly will blossom into an amazing companion.

Tennessee

German Shepherd Dog Belgian Malinois

Male, Young
White River Junction, VT
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Tennessee is the embodiment of your ideal furry companion. A striking blend of Belgian Malinois and German Shepherd, he's just 2 years old and bursting with energy. Tennessee thrives in a dynamic environment, making him the perfect fit for an active household. Despite his boundless energy, he possesses a gentle nature and remarkable intelligence. If you're seeking a trainable partner, Tennessee is your perfect match. Beyond his exuberance, he knows how to appreciate moments of stillness and enjoys cuddling up with his favorite humans. His luscious black sable fur requires regular brushing to maintain its health and stunning appearance. Tennessee is well-versed in basic commands, walks gracefully on a leash, and has excellent recall and boundaries. While he's tolerant of other dogs, his lack of exposure during his formative years means he's still learning proper pack manners. He's not one to bark unnecessarily, reserving his vocalizations for when something seems amiss. Tennessee is kennel trained, although he's not shy about expressing his dissatisfaction with confinement. Nevertheless, he can be trusted to behave responsibly when left alone at home. Plus, he's up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped, neutered, and fully housebroken, making him the paw-fect addition to your family.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 13, 2025, 8:06 pm

Story
Jax; Meet Jax, a gentle hearted soul with a whole lot of love to give! This handsome boy may start off a little shy in new environments or around unfamiliar faces, but once he warms up, he's incredibly affectionate and loyal. Jax thrives on human connection- he'll nudge you for pets and proudly parade his favorite toys just to show off his playful side. Jax is a smart pup who already knows several cues like "sit", "kennel", and " come around". He will walk behind you and sit sweetly between your legs. He enjoys learning and responds well to gentle, consistent guidance. When it comes to mealtime, Jax is a slow and sensitive eater. He prefers the calm and comfort of his kennel during meals and does best when given his space, as he can become anxious if other dogs approach his bowl. Jax can be selective with other dogs, he may do well with a calm and respectful canine companion after a proper introduction. if you're looking for a loving thoughtful companion who will reward your patience with endless affection, consider giving Jax the forever home he deserves. He'll be your best buddy, your quiet comfort, and your biggest stuffed animal fan. Jax is ready to find his person- could that be you? Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.June 1, 2025, 3:28 pm

Zeus

German Shepherd Dog

Male, Adult
Crown Point, NY
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Welcome to Zeus! Sadly Zeus has seizures, and note that he is NOT neutered. It would be up to the new owner to do so if they wish, but there is a small chance that could increase his rate of seizures. Using CBD oil and phenobarbital has brought his seizures from 4-5 times a month, to less than once a month. We just started him on Potassium Bromide to assist in getting rid of seizures. I will give all current meds he’s on that I have available to whoever adopts Him! He’s fantastic with other dogs, cats he’s unsure of. We have 2 cats, and he’s never been aggressive towards them, but is scared of them. He LOVES people, BUT does not know his body very well, likely due to some small brain damage from a huge Seizure he had in September, so you will have to be very careful with little kids, and elderly. He loves to run, so plenty of running space is needed for him!! We’re doing everything in our power to not put him down, as he is a very happy, good dog. Thanks for reading!!
