Story

Phoenix is insanely playful and energetic. She would do really good in a home with no kids, and people who are okay with either putting her away with company, or don’t have too much traffic in and out of the house. She is not a fan of people, and it’s been since she was a puppy. She knows sit, down, come, and place. She has done lots of training to help with reactivity towards dogs and people on walks, and has made huge strides. She will need someone who is capable of reinforcing training.

Hunter Henry

German Shepherd Dog Hound (Unknown Type)

Male, 3 mos

Norfolk, VA

Size

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

Details

Story

Hunter Henry is an adorable 3-month-old German Shepherd mix with bright eyes, big paws, and a big personality. He’s smart, curious, and full of puppy energy. Because he’s so young and eager to learn, training should begin as soon as he comes home. Shepherd mixes pick up habits quickly, so consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement will be essential to help him grow into a well-mannered adult. Hunter Henry would benefit best in a house with an easily accessible yard. Breed experience is strongly recommended, as German Shepherd mixes require confident, knowledgeable handling and ongoing structure. Hunter Henry is currently a nippy boy, which is normal at this age, but adopters will need to work on redirecting that behavior with appropriate chew toys and by teaching bite inhibition. He will also need early guidance around food guarding to build positive associations and prevent the behavior from escalating. As an intelligent, active puppy, he’ll need plenty of enrichment and mental stimulation. Puzzle toys, training sessions, sniffing games, and interactive play will help keep him engaged. Without enough structure and stimulation, puppies can become bored quickly, so keeping both his mind and body busy will be key to his success.

Montana

German Shepherd Dog

Male, 3 yrs 2 mos

Newport News, VA

Size

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

Details

Story

Meet Montana, a 3-year-old Shepherd mix who is discovering how fun it is to spend a day out with his person. Montana recently enjoyed a full outing that included a park adventure, a trip through Bass Pro Shops, and even a Chick-fil-A stop, and he handled it all like a gentleman.Montana is house-trained and has excellent potty manners. He reliably waits until he is outside to potty, even in busy environments where other dogs have marked indoors. During car rides he settles nicely in the back seat, calmly watching the world go by, and remains relaxed throughout the trip.He can become excited and may jump up, so may do best with a family prepared to help him continue learning polite greetings. Some of his earlier life was spent with little structure, so he is still learning household manners, but he responds well to calm guidance, treats, and consistency and is already beginning to settle more quickly when redirected.Montana is gentle when taking treats, comfortable around loud city noises such as trucks and sirens, and shows polite curiosity rather than reactivity when he sees wildlife like squirrels. He is a little shy when meeting new people at first, yet warms up and happily accepts gentle pets once he feels comfortable. He rides quietly in the car, does not try to climb into the front seat, and enjoys simply observing everything around him.At the park, Montana showed particular interest in the water and may become a wonderful companion for beach days or lakeside walks as he gains confidence. While he is still figuring out toys and chews, what he truly enjoys most is being near his person and sharing new experiences together.Montana would thrive with a patient family willing to continue his training, provide structure, and help him keep building confidence. In return, he offers calm companionship, gentle manners, and a loyal heart ready to bond with his forever home.
