Story
Meet Maverick 🐾 Maverick is a fun-loving, energetic pup looking for his next adventure and forever home. He’s wonderful with kids and has been around other dogs, making him a great fit for an active family. This guy absolutely lives for the outdoors—especially in the winter! Maverick loves the snow and will happily spend hours catching snowballs. He listens well, stays close when outside, and enjoys being part of whatever you’re doing. Maverick does have a lot of energy, so he’ll thrive in a home that can give him plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention. Whether it’s hikes, backyard games, or snowy fun, he’s ready to be your sidekick. We are heartbroken to rehome him, but we are moving and unfortunately cannot take him with us. Our priority is finding him a loving, active home where he can continue to thrive. If you think Maverick could be the perfect fit for your family, please reach out ❤️

Story
Tilly is mesmerizing with her icy blue eyes. This beautiful girl is 2 years old and 50 pounds. She is very smart. She would be great learning one of the many dog sports. She will make someone a great companion and she consistently "checks in" with her foster mom to see if anything is expected of her.  Tilly would thrive with an adopter who is "hands on". She is 1/3 border collie but also has small amounts of siberian husky/saint bernard/boxer/labrador retriever per her DNA results. A quiet home without small children would be ideal for her. Tilly is dog selective and it is unknown how she is with cats. She is crate and potty trained. Tilly is spayed, microchipped, current on vaccines and flea/tick/heartworm prevention. Her adoption fee is only $300.00. Please apply at gfrpets.org/apply/adoptdog/ ##1880121##

Story
Meet Marilyn 💕 Marilyn is a young, Border Collie mix with a beautiful black and white coat and an even more beautiful heart. After the passing of her beloved owner, Marilyn found herself in need of a fresh start. She’s currently being fostered and is ready to find a forever home filled with love and patience. Marilyn can be a little shy at first, but give her some time and you’ll discover just how incredibly sweet and affectionate she truly is. Once she warms up, she’s all heart — gentle, loving, and eager to bond with her people. She gets along well with other dogs and cats, and she handled her vet visit with patience and affection. Because she can be timid initially, she would do best with a calm, understanding adopter who will let her adjust at her own pace. Kids are unknown at this time. She may need continued support with house training. Marilyn was born in November 2024, is spayed, and ready to start her next chapter. If you have a soft spot for shy, sensitive souls who blossom with love, Marilyn might just be your perfect match. Could you be the one to give Marilyn the safe, loving home she deserves? 🐾
