Story
Hi! I’m Porsche. 🐾✨ Yes — like the car. And honestly? The name fits. I’m about a year and a half old, full of energy, and built for movement. I’ve got that classic German Shepherd brain — smart, alert, and ready to go. But I also have a soft side that just wants attention and connection. I recently came back to the shelter after a short stay in a home. Transitions can be a lot for a young shepherd like me. Big changes, new dogs, new environments — it’s overwhelming when everything happens at once. I’m still learning how to slow down and settle when life moves fast. Here’s what I can tell you about the real me: I’m friendly. I’m sweet. I love attention. 💕 I know sit and down, and I come when you call my name. I enjoy car rides 🚗 and I’m happiest when I have something to do — especially if it squeaks! Oh… and toys? They are my thing. 🎾 If there’s a squeaker inside, I will find it. Immediately. I love fetch — although sometimes I’d rather lie down and proudly chew on the ball like I just won a championship. I can get very focused on my toys (I take play seriously!). When I first come out of a kennel, I’ve got some zoomies in me — that young shepherd energy! But once I’m in the yard and have space to move, I settle nicely. Structure helps me. Clear expectations help me. Slow introductions help me. I’m not a “throw me in the backyard and figure it out” kind of dog. I’m a “let’s build this the right way” kind of dog. With proper introductions, supervision, and guidance, I have all the potential in the world to thrive. I would do best with: A confident, experienced dog owner Structured routines Slow, thoughtful introductions to other pets Plenty of enrichment and toy time I’m young. I’m smart. I’m full of potential. And I’m ready for someone who wants to invest in me the right way. If you’re looking for a loyal, energetic companion with a playful heart and a working-dog brain, I might be your girl. Let’s do this properly — together. 💛 — Porsche 🐕

Story
Meet Roxie a 7 year old Pit Mix. Roxie was adopted from the Pound at 1 year old, and was not well cared for. As a result she is especially sensitive and nervous when meeting new people. Her tolerance for loud noises or kids rough play is very low, so she needs a calm environment with not a lot of new people. She loves her daily walks and needs a secured yard. In later years she has become aggressive with other dogs. She will therefore need to be the only dog- no other pets. She only wants to have all the comforts- a soft place to sleep, daily routines; eating, naps and walks with occasional treats. She doesn’t destroy or chew and can stay home all day with no accidents. This is NOT a dog that can go to the dog park. She is loyal to those that love and take care of her. She loves a good cuddle and pets. Really a lovely dog and companion.

Story
Chelsi is a 3 year old pitty mix who is truly the epitome of “good with all kinds.” She loves people, kids and adults alike, and does wonderfully with cats and other dogs. She is a gentle, friendly soul with an easygoing nature and a big heart for everyone she meets. This sweet girl has been available for adoption since the early summer of 2025 in Kansas. She was transferred up to Nebraska to give her a fresh start, but Chelsi is more than ready for her forever family. She’s been waiting patiently, and she deserves a home of her own. Chelsi is house trained and does not need to be kenneled. While she has had a harder time adjusting to being kenneled at her most recent foster home, she has previously kenneled well in past foster situations. With consistency, patience, and time, it’s very likely she could do so again if needed. Chelsi can be a bit spooky in new situations. Loud noises scare her pretty badly, and even after a couple of weeks in a foster home, big or sudden sounds can still startle her. Cars can also be overwhelming for her, and she will need to be lifted into a vehicle. These sensitivities don’t change who she is at her core, they just mean she needs understanding and gentle support as she navigates the world. If you’re looking for a truly friendly, loving family dog, Chelsi is your girl. She bonds easily with people, fits beautifully into a variety of homes, and has been more than ready for her forever family for a long time now. Chelsi is fully vetted, spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, HW negative and up to date on preventatives, and ready to go. If you think Chelsi might be the missing piece in your family, apply to adopt her below. She’s been waiting, and she’s worth it. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdy9NUdRzsagXgNJ7xhCHp5LZnTUYFxN-2jh4HgXKTou9k-tA/viewform
