Story
This is full bred GSD (AKC papers can be provided) I adopted from the shelter at 4 months when I had a job that she could come to daily. Switched jobs and now she’s home all day and bored. My son is in competitive travel sports every weekend and she can’t come with us. She has been through 6 weeks of obedience training and listens well. She is just bored and is needs a home with more available owners. She is not a guard dog..strictly family dog. Not an aggressive bone in her body. Not reactive to small animals or kids. Shes a sweet girl. She was born September 30th 2023. So she’s just over 1 year.

Story
I came across Tyson while I was walking my two dogs.I took Tyson to the vet to see if he was chipped and he was so they took my info. I week later the owner contacted me and said she did not want the dog anymore. Tyson is 10 years old and is up to date on his vaccines. He loves to cuddle and follow you around. I wish I could keep him but I have my elderly mom that does not see very well and keeps tripping on him. He has lots of energy like a puppy but he also knows when I'm tired he lays next to me in bed.
