Hi, my name is Munich and I would love to meet you. I have been at the shelter since Dec 12, 2022. I can be a bit of an introverted pup. I like having my own space at times and prefer quiet time with my person or people compared to big social gatherings. I have a lot of love to give, you just have to give me a little bit of time to show it all to you!

Story
Daisy is a 2.5 year old shepherd mix. Daisy has been with us for over one year. In that time, she has been spayed, house trained and learned to walk on a leash with a Gentle Leader. Daisy is also very food motivated, so she has learned the following commands: sit, stay, shake, heel, down, place. She also loves belly rubs and will lay down on her back to when we say, "belly rub." Daisy does well with women and takes time to warm up to men. We have an older child who Daisy is very attached to, however, she does not do well with the energy level and antics of our 5 year old. She has learned that her crate is a safe place. She can spend time there during the day and sleeps in her crate at night. She has made a few dog friends, usually alphas. Introductions need to be done carefully. Daisy is fence reactive. She needs daily exercise and loves her toys- especially playing tug. Daisy needs someone who is experienced with intelligent, strong-willed dogs and will continue her training.

Story
I’m sadly having to rehome my dog, Lenny. He’s a German shepherd husky mix, we think he’s 5 or 6; I rescued him 2 years ago. He’s dealing with some pretty severe anxiety, I’ve been working with a trainer and his vet but I’m not experienced enough to meet his needs. He has also become more aggressive with my two others dogs and they have to spend a lot of time separated which isn’t an ideal situation. I have a bed, toys, treats, food, and medication that can go with him. I love this dog so much and rehoming him really hurts but he needs more than I can give. He’s really a great dog, he loves his humans and his siblings. He’s UTD on vaccines, neutered, & chipped. He’d do well with an experienced dog owner with a big yard as he struggles severely on the leash. Due to this new aggressive behavior he may do well as the only dog in the home, but he usually does well with his siblings.

Story
APPLICATION LINK: https://shaynesrescue.com/adoption-application/ We must have an application to move forward. (Shayne's Rescue is an affiliate with PetCentralSATX). GUSTO is the conversation-maker...His mother was a Shepherd mix...but who knows who Daddy was? Gusto is what we call a "low rider". Compared to his siblings, he has short legs...almost like a Basset but not with those big knuckles. Then, he has the most beautiful brindle legs!!! He's a real sweetie. He came from a litter of 7 and was the only low rider. He is currently about 23#s. DOB is 12/6/22. We expect him to be medium-sized dogs...50-60#s...but short! He is extremely playful and happy. You couldn't ask for a better puppy. He will be great for families or especially with children. Watch our YouTube video of the litter: Gusto is in the video mostly on the right side...look for his brindle legs. https://youtu.be/QeAy7WIRj3Q This dog is CURRENTLY IN TEXAS and available for pre-adoption. Adoptions include neuter/spay, vaccinations (DHPP, Bordetella, Rabies), microchip, health certificate, transport with our professional dog transporter, and 6 mos of heart worm prevention. If you have any questions or would like an e-mail from us as to how all of this works, text me (Terry); identify the dog's name and give me your email address... 210-394-6060. You can also go to our Facebook page... https://www.facebook.com/Pet-Central-SATX-866684826744181/ and LIKE us to help us out. After we review your application, we will contact you, and you'll have the opportunity to find out more from the rescue. If you experience any issues filling out the application you can contact us directly at petcentralsatx@gmail.com. This is ONLY if you have problems applying. If you have not applied, you will not receive a response so please only email if you have any issues applying. Adoption Fees The adoption fee includes transportation to WA/OR. All pups and dogs are fully vetted, spayed/neutered, microchipped, dewormed, have a negative heart worm test for all dogs over 6 months at time of transport, have a health certificate, and have all age-appropriate vaccinations. Some dogs/pups have additional medical, including but not limited to FHO, ACL, hernias, dental, and other vetting. All medical records will be provided to the adopter at the time they pick up their dog. This is a post on behalf of Pet Central SATX Rescue, headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, where there are over 350,000 homeless pets. We have hundreds of puppies/dogs available so there really is no need to apply anywhere else. Also, one application is good even if you are interested in several different dogs...one application no matter which one you choose. Thank you for choosing to adopt a rescue pup/dog. We firmly believe there is NO breed other than "rescue" for all species. Thank you for being part of the village it takes to save these precious lives.

Story
This girl is from Mexico and has been in a shelter. She has been looking for her person for a long time and there is not reason she has not found one. She just gets overloooked. We have her now in foster in Puyallup so she can finally get her own family. She is great with other dogs and loves people. She will need some leash training but with some positive reinforcement she will learn quickly. She will thrive with the love and caring of having her own person. You will have a new BFF for life.

Story
This sweet 3 year old shepherd boy was abandoned by his "family" in Roswell New Mexico. They left the home and left him and his brother behind. His brother was rescued by a shelter and poor Croc was all alone in a vacant house. This boy loves people and dogs and is a happy guy. He needs someone to show him what family truely means.    Dog Name: Croc Good with dogs? Yes! He may benefit from being the only large male in the house but he hasn’t shown any aggression. Just being normal dog dominant over our male dog who is the same height but much lighter.    Good with kids? So good! He’s living with a 7 month old baby and 4 yr old toddler. Neither of their shenanigans have phased him. The baby has cried. The toddler has worn crazy slippers, played with hot wheels, and ran around in the yard. Croc takes treats so gently from the toddler. He’s also patient while the toddler scoops his food and put it down.   Good with cats? Don’t know. He doesn’t seem to care about the bunnies and squirrels in our yard though Has experience on a leash? Yes, good on a leash Crate trained? Yes, since he’s been with us. He learned in a couple of days Where does the dog stay when it is home alone? Crate, although he’s not home alone often since I work from home Where does the dog sleep? HIs favorite spot is the couch. He would definitely love to share the bed with his humans. His goes into his open crate too. What does the dog eat? Kirkland brand kibble - currently the Aging Dog blend as we finish the bag What does the dog's ideal home look like? He is so smart so a home that will continue his training. The person doesn’t have to be experienced in training, Croc is super easy to train, but needs to be dedicated to it. He seems to already know to come when called, lay down, and go potty. He gives us a blank stare for “sit” though lol. He would be fine with or without another dog but wants to be close to his humans.  ##1683004##
