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.

FOSTER TO ADOPT ONLY- needs to be neuteredMeet German! German is a one-year-old German Shepherd Dog who is ready to find his forever home. As a young shepherd, he is smart, active, and full of potential. He’s very typical of the breed — intelligent, energetic, and happiest when he has structure, guidance, and a job to do. Because of this, German would do best in a home with prior breed experience that understands the needs of working dogs.German is not yet neutered, so he is currently available as a foster-to-adopt candidate. This means he can go home with an approved adopter on a foster contract and officially be adopted once his neuter is complete. It’s a wonderful opportunity to start bonding with him right away while we finalize his veterinary care.During his foster period, German will go home with food, a leash, and a collar to help set everyone up for success.If you’re experienced, active, and looking for a loyal companion with tons of potential, German would love to meet you. Come see him and learn more about whether he might be the perfect fit for your family!

Story
Meet Angel 🐾 Angel is a 13-year-old female German Shepherd with a gentle soul and a heart full of love. She found herself in need of a new home when her owner became homeless, a change that was no fault of her own. Despite this upheaval, Angel remains sweet, resilient, and eager to share her quiet companionship with someone special. Angel has lived with other dogs her entire life and continues to thrive in her foster home alongside dogs of various sizes. She is respectful, calm, and well-mannered with her canine companions, making her a wonderful fit for a home with other friendly dogs or as a peaceful only dog. In her golden years, Angel is looking for a soft place to land—a home where she can enjoy leisurely walks, cozy naps, and the comfort of a loving family. She may be a senior, but her loyalty and affection are timeless. If you’re searching for a devoted companion who will quietly stand by your side, Angel may be the perfect match. Give Angel the chance to spend her golden years surrounded by love—she has so much of it left to give.

Story
Hi there! My name is FeFe, and I’m a 6-year-old German Shepherd looking for my forever home! I’m 82 pounds of black and tan floof. I know I’m a big girl, but my foster mom says there’s just more of me to love! I’m spayed, heartworm negative, and fully vaccinated, so I’m healthy and ready to go home with you! I’m a goofy and loving dog who is always up for a good time. I love to play fetch and chew on bones, and I’m always eager to learn new tricks. My foster parents recently took me dock diving. I did so well that the instructor told them to enter competitions with me! I’m very smart and energetic, so I’m looking for someone who can keep up with me! It would be best if you have experience with shepherds or other herding breeds like me. I’m house and crate trained, and my foster mom has been working with me on my leash manners. I get nervous around people and animals that I don’t know, so I’m looking for a home where I can be the only pet. I’m nice to kids but because I’m so big (and sometimes a little clumsy), I’d do best in a home with teenagers instead of small children. If you’re looking for a loyal and loving companion, I’m your girl! I’m being fostered in Portsmouth, VA and adopters will need to meet me in person prior to adoption. Complete an application to learn more about me! *Must be 21 or older to apply.
