Saki is a smart and attentive German Shepherd Dog/Chow Chow mix who has been our constant companion since she was a puppy. It has been harder lately to give her the attention she needs as our family is expecting twins soon, so we are looking for a new home where she can truly thrive. Saki is:• House trained• Smart and incredibly observant• Good with cats• Best in a home without children• Best as the only dog in the householdShe is a great dog who enjoys long walks, hikes, and lounging in the grass while squirrel watching. Saki would excel in an environment where she can be the center of attention.💰 Rehoming fee: $0

Story
Smart, Curious, and Ready for Adventure! Born on 7/23/26, Tucker is a Husky/German Shepherd mix puppy with black fur, a white blaze and muzzle, and cute white paws. Tucker and his eight siblings of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants litter came to us from Adams County Pet Rescue (ACPR).  We expect Tucker will be a large dog when fully grown, and he is already winning hearts with his sweet face and perpetually wagging tail. Tucker just might be the smartest pup in the litter. A medium-to-high energy pup, he is curious and quite fearless (the lawn mower might be the only thing that gives him pause). Tucker was the first in his litter to tackle the stairs and the first to discover a way out of the yard. His curiosity and boldness make him fun to watch as he explores his way into situations (his foster shares that watching his puppy brain work can be hysterical). When he isn’t testing boundaries, Tucker adores playing tug with the other dogs, fetching, and chewing on his toys. A social boy, he loves humans of all ages and is eager to meet new people. Once he has made your acquaintance, he is off on a new adventure. You are welcome to join in, and the company of other dogs is always a plus. Tucker loves a playmate, and another dog in the home would be excellent company for him. But this little guy isn’t all go, go, go. Tucker also appreciates a good nap and snuggles. Those smarts serve Tucker well in his training, too. He is practically potty trained and sleeps through the night. He’s learning his basic obedience commands, and Tucker has picked up walking on a leash as well. Tucker would love doing classes with his family and getting to show off his native intelligence. To learn more about Tucker, fill out an application, and our team will be in touch! Puppies this young cannot be left alone more than a few hours at a time. Please only apply if you can be home with your puppy or can make arrangements for the puppy’s care. Ready to adopt? Now what? Please take 3-4 minutes and complete our application form at: www.lilaccitypupproject.org. Our adoption team will spring into action! You will have a phone call conversation with a dedicated adoption counselor, and the adoption team will contact your vet(s), if applicable. Once you have been matched with a dog, a meet and greet will be set up and take place at the foster family's home. After the meet and greet, there will be a home inspection and in-home trial prior to adoption finalization. Lilac City Pup Project is entirely volunteer and foster run, with no kennel facility. Only approved adoption applicants will be able to meet our dogs outside of adoption events. Adoption Donations: $350 for Puppies up to 9 months $300 for Adults 9 months or older *includes spay/neuter, all core vaccinations, and microchip. Your adoption fee may be tax deductible as Lilac City Pup Project is a federal 501c3 organization. Not sure you want to adopt, foster first and adopt later! LCPP is always in need of fosters. There is an overwhelming number of dogs who need our help and the more fosters we have, the more dogs we can save. LCPP covers expenses, including food. Fosters provide love and a soft place to crash. At Lilac City Pup Project we strive to better the lives of vulnerable dogs through rescue, foster, and adoption services; educate dog owners and empower them to build successful human/canine relationships; and support the local community by partnering with shelters facing overcrowding and limited resources. LCPP is organized exclusively for public, charitable, and/or educational purposes under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Story
The best boy! Born on 7/23/26, Kostos is a Husky/German Shepherd mix puppy with black fur, white chest markings, and bluish eyes. Kostos and his eight siblings of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants litter came to us from Adams County Pet Rescue (ACPR).  We expect Kostos will be a large dog when fully grown, and he is already winning hearts with his goofy antics. Large, clumsy, and extremely sweet, Kostos is all gentle giant. He loves everyone, from kids to adults to other dogs. Kostos is so happy to see you; he pins his ears back and wiggles his entire body in greeting. He adores kisses and being carried around with his legs swinging freely. Kostos is just the best boy. Snuggles and chew toys make him so happy.  A low to medium energy, super chill pup, Kostos can join in his siblings’ antics or hang out on the sidelines and watch all the commotion going on around him. Kostos just takes it in and is not fazed by it at all. This happy go lucky pup would be content being the center of your world or sharing it with another dog. If he has loving people in his life, he is good to go! While a mellow fellow, Kostos is also a smart pup eager to learn. He enjoys a regular schedule in his foster home, and he is practically potty trained. He sleeps through the night, is learning his basic obedience commands, and progressing well in his leash training. Did we mention he is the best boy? If you are looking to add some cuddly, laid-back energy to your home, Kostos might be the pup for you. To learn more about Kostos, complete an application form and our team will be in touch.

Story
Jasper is a happy, energetic 2-year-old mix of Husky, German Shepherd, Bull Terrier & Australian Cattle Dog. He’s been with us since 2 months old and is loved very much. He is neutered, microchipped, healthy, fully vaccinated, and receives regular vet care. At 6 months, Jasper completed a 2-week board-and-train program through Off Leash Canine using an e-collar. He is very intelligent, well-trained, and has excellent recall, especially with his training collar. Jasper generally does well with people and other dogs, but he has strong protective instincts. New people entering his home or personal space can trigger growling or nipping. He also tends to dominate his sister and won’t allow her access to toys, bones, or treats. I run a home daycare, so the constant coming and going has become stressful for Jasper and creates an unpredictable safety concern. We believe he would thrive in a calm, structured home with an experienced owner who understands energetic, protective breeds.

Story
Meet Vegas — A Second Chance Worth Betting On. Vegas is underweight, skittish, and incredibly submissive - but he has a loyal heart of gold. We can't say whether he's ever been mistreated, but his mannerisms make us wonder if he's spent some time surviving on his own. Despite his fears, Vegas has a wonderfully playful side. He enjoys roughhousing with other dogs and has done well with the canine companions he's encountered during his journey to rescue. He's also a pretty enthusiastic tail-wagger! Vegas wants affection. You can see it. But sometimes he seems genuinely conflicted about whether he should approach or retreat. He'll start toward you, second-guess himself, and then decide that the possibility of getting some love is worth being brave. It's both endearing and a little heartbreaking. After only FOUR DAYS in foster care, he’s cowering less, seeking affection more, and slowly discovering that he doesn't have to spend every moment anticipating something unpleasant. Vegas is also showing signs that being left behind is something he finds particularly difficult. He is non-destructive when left alone - no shredded furniture, no demolished belongings, no household renovations conducted without permission. However, he does vocalize his sadness at being left behind. Today, I left him home with my husband, thinking that having company might make things easier. Vegas had other opinions. He complained. He howled a couple of times. And when I returned, he had a few things to say about my unacceptable absence. My husband is understandably disappointed to discover that he's apparently the spare human. In all seriousness, Vegas is developing an attachment to me, likely because I'm the person spending the most time helping him feel comfortable. He hasn't been here long enough for us to know whether his distress when separated will improve as he settles in, but it's something his future family should understand and be willing to work on. He'll need people who are patient about building his confidence, who can help him gradually learn that departures aren't permanent, and who won't punish him for being frightened or vocal. What does Vegas need? A full belly. A soft bed. A patient heart. And a lifetime of never having to wonder whether he's wanted. After all, this boy has already gambled on trusting us. I'd say he's earned a winning hand. ❤️

Story
We adopted Buddy about 6 weeks ago from a local rescue center. We were attracted to him by his physical characteristics and friendliness and age (8 months). We had just lost our 9 year old Border Collie to cancer and Buddy was to be his replacement. He is super friendly, very athletic and active. He needs some running room and exercise and an enclosed yard or area. He will not do well in small spaces or full time house dog. He needs controlled introduction to meeting other pets. His DNA is 36% German Shepherd, 21% Australian Cattle Dog, 16% American Staffordshire Terrier, 14% Siberian Husky and 12% Newfoundland. His sleeping cage, beds and toys go with him. Has complete medical records and is up to date on all shots. Regretfully he does not do well with the Dachshounds in our extended family. We reserve the right to approve a prospective adopter in consideration of his welfare and a suitable new home.

Meet Muffin, a 4-year-old German Shepherd mix with a bright spirit and an even bigger heart! Surrendered by her previous owner, she's now searching for a loving home where she can thrive. Muffin loves the outdoors and is always up for an adventure. Due to a medical condition that makes her eyes sensitive to sunlight, she wears protective goggles outside—but they never slow her down. If you're looking for a fun, resilient companion for walks and outdoor adventures, Muffin is ready to be your new best friend.

Story
Mesquite is a 2-year-old German Shepherd mix with a big heart, a goofy personality, and plenty of potential. This handsome boy loves attention, treats, and being right by your side—he may even follow you to the bathroom! Mesquite came to CAC through Animal Control, so his past is a mystery. His friends are still unsure how he does with cats, small children, and small animals. He is smart and treat-motivated, and would thrive with someone willing to continue his training and help build his confidence. Mesquite has participated in playgroups but can be pushy and overly excited with female dogs. He also has some barrier issues that will need to be tested, managed, and worked on with positive training. Slow introductions and consistent guidance will help him learn to be the best gentleman he can be. If you're looking for a loyal, goofy adventure buddy who will happily become your biggest fan, Mesquite may be your guy! ❤️
