Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.My name is Duke and I’m definitely royalty! The elderly gentleman who adopted me as an 8-week old puppy had to undergo emergency surgery and lost his leg to diabetes, leaving himunable to properly care for me. I was only 10 months old at the time. I am now a 14-month oldstrapping young pup who has known only love and playtime my whole life. I have boundlessenergy and am up for whatever game you have in mind.. tug, fetch, long walks, you name it! Ineed a securely fenced yard as I know no boundaries (having been raised on 25 acres and loveto chase the wildlife, i.e., critters, deer, nothing is off limits)! Although I have shared my homewith cats as a puppy, my foster mom thinks I play a little too rough to be trusted with smalleranimals now that I’m grown up. I have not been introduced (other than thru my kennel;) to myForster Mom’s dog as he is a special needs dog with delicate hips. Although I display “normal”fencing behavior in my kennel, it appears that I may be ok with another dog my size or largergiven slow, proper introduction. However, I will also do well as as only dog with an owner thatcan spend daily, quality time with me.I have a high energy personality and CANNOT be crated. I am strong and have destroyed alarge crate from the inside out. I do well in a large welded wire kennel, (minimum size 6 x 8 x4), which I’m comfortable indoors at night in. My Foster Mom keeps me safe during the day ina 10 x 8 x 6 kennel which I cannot topple and am safe in when she is away. As my prior homeoffered me limited opportunity to meet new people, I am wary of strangers and need slow,proper introductions. Once I know you, you are my friend! I bond easily with my “person” andwill guard that person and my home. An experienced owner is preferred. I am NOT a couchpotato - and given the opportunity, I will probably eat your couch!If you’re looking for a constant companion to start every day will a smile, woof and wag - I’myour guy!14 Month old German Shepherd85 lbsNeuteredMicrochippedHouse trainedHigh-energyPlayfulNeeds securely fenced yard and experienced owner.

Cats typically don't do well at events, so they only attend with a pre-approved meet and greet appointment. If you are interested in a particular pet, we suggest you email: mmarpaws@gmail.com to see if that pet will be there. Applications are approved on the basis of the best and most appropriate home for the animal, not on a first come, first served basis. On site adoption available to pre-approved applicants only.
