Bella

German Shepherd Dog Mutt

Female, Adult
Tumwater, WA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Bella is a beautiful, intelligent, loving 4yo German Shepherd mix. She’s great on leash, whether walking loosely by your side or in a heel. She enjoyed basic training class, mastering commands like sit, down, and stay. Bella is eager to please, very smart, and picks up new commands quickly. She thrives with structure and would make a fantastic companion for someone who enjoys training & spending quality time with their dog. Bella would do best as an only pet or with very slow and supervised introductions to other animals. While she currently lives with two other dogs, she gets along well with only one and has shown aggression toward the other with one attack requiring stitches. Due to this, she’s best suited for a home where she doesn’t need to share her space with other pets or where the adopter has experience with carefully managing dog introductions. Bella is loving and loyal. If you’re looking for a smart trainable companion who loves going on walks, Bella might be for you!

German Shepherd Dog

Female, Young
Olympia, WA
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Star is a smart, loyal German Shepherd-type dog with an alert, expressive face and calm presence. She is attentive to her people, observant of her surroundings, and has the classic shepherd traits of loyalty and protectiveness. She does well when she has structure and a consistent routine and bonds closely with those she trusts. Star enjoys spending time outdoors in a securely fenced yard and is comfortable getting her exercise through free movement and exploration rather than structured walks. She is content with supervised outdoor time, relaxing indoors with her family, and following a predictable daily routine. Star does well both crated or free in the home, depending on what works best for the household, and settles easily when it's time to rest. Star is a reserved, gentle dog who enjoys being indoors with her family and is comfortable in a busy household.

German Shepherd Dog

Male, Adult

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Cerbie is a stunning 4-year-old German Shepherd mix who is at his absolute best when he has a job to do and fresh air to breathe. Cerbie is looking for a savvy owner who understands the loyal, focused nature of a GSD. His Best Life: Cerbie is a "specialist" who thrives in the great outdoors. He is happiest on a farm, acreage, or a home with a large, secure yard where he can roam. While he finds indoor life a bit overwhelming, he is incredibly laid-back with his trusted people once he’s had his exercise. For Cerbie, "Ball is Life"—he is highly toy-motivated and prefers a game of fetch over the chaos of a dog park. The Perfect Match: Cerbie is looking for an adult-only, cat-free home where he can be the center of your world. Because he forms such deep bonds, he prefers a companion who is home most of the time to help build his confidence. If you have the space and the experience to lead a smart, athletic, and devoted dog, Cerbie is ready for his next adventure.

Story
For experienced owners only. She is incredibly strong and smart. She has shown aggression towards other animals. She is high energy and needs proper training and a vet appointment. She loves to cuddle. I have never seen her around children. She was dropped off at our house by a retired army man that had to go to ptsd treatment and eventually surrendered her. She needs adopted soon. I do not have the health or strength to train and excersize her. She needs a loving owner who wants to work with an athletic dog. Thank you.
