Foster location: Appleton Application & Website: https://www.ourpackanimalrescue.com/adoption.html Bio: See this face? This is the smile of an 7yr old boy, who has waited &#226&#157&#151&#239&#184&#1432 YEARS&#226&#157&#151&#239&#184&#143 for a new beginning. Back in Texas, and group took Major in with the false promises to help him. But, when he tested positive for Heartworms, they left him behind with a partner of ours. Through the course of those 2 years the group made excuse after excuse as to why they couldn't get Major. When in reality, they just couldn't be bothered with a sweet boy who needed some medical care. Thankfully, Our partner doesn't suck, and made sure Major recieved the treatments he needed. So, now that he is a happy, healthy, and Heartworm free boy. Major is ready for his new beginning! When his foster lady heard the story, there was zero hesitation in having him join us here. He is an incredibly sweet boy, who really loves to be outdoors and play with his toys. Major has been great with other dogs and friendly with everyone he meets. Due to the environment Major spent so much time, he does mark a bit while adjusting and is currently wearing belly bands. Our Pack Animal Rescue, Inc. Is an all foster based 501c3 rescue.

Foster location: Appleton Application & Website: https://www.ourpackanimalrescue.com/adoption.html Bio: Meet Mila – A Brilliant German Shepherd in Need of the Right Home! Mila is a stunning, 3.5-year-old female German Shepherd with incredible potential—but she requires an experienced, breed-savvy owner who understands the needs of a strong-minded working dog. This isn’t your basic family grade Shepherd; Mila is driven, intelligent, and needs structure, training, and leadership to thrive. She is fiercely loyal, eager to work, and thrives with a purpose. However, due to her intense prey drive, Mila must be the only animal in the home—no other dogs, cats, or farm animals. She needs an active home that will continue her training, provide mental stimulation, and set clear boundaries. If you’re used to lazy Shepherds, Mila is not the dog for you. This girl requires an owner with firm handling skills, patience, and a commitment to ongoing training. In the right environment, Mila will be an exceptional companion—loyal, protective, and highly trainable. If you have experience with high-drive Shepherds and are looking for a dedicated, one-of-a-kind partner, Mila might just be the perfect match. Breed experience is mandatory.
