Story
Nina is an active 2yo 45lb border collie/german shepherd mix. She has a lot of personality and can be a total derp (tongue hanging out sideways and everything)! She's housebroken and crate trained, and walks amazing on the leash! She loves other dogs and is good with indoor cats. She is pretty high energy and enjoys going on hikes and playing with her canine siblings. She MUST go to a home where there is a resident confident adult medium-large dog (she worships the male german shepherd in her foster home but is best friends with a female Doberman the same age.. she's fine with small dogs but she's a bit too rambunctious for them). She has also discovered the comforts of the couch and loves to lay along the top and get petted while you watch movies. Because she can still be skittish with people though, she should NOT go to a home with children or apartment living (no exceptions!). She would do best in a gentle, quiet adult only home with another dog and a house with fenced yard. She has gained a lot of skills and confidence while in her foster home, but she is ready for the next chapter in her life with a new family that will continue to help her grow. Here is Nina’s story video: https://youtu.be/KxWGwurZVWk King is Nina’s companion/emotional support dog. He’s a 7-8yo purebred 75lb German Shepherd. Nina WORSHIPS him and is his shadow, follows him everywhere, and they even crate together. King is a mellow boy who prefers lounging in the house or on the couch. He would do best in a cat-free home.  They are not for first time dog owner, but when together they’re pretty easy. All they need is a couch and a yard.  Adoption fee for the two together will be $550. Nina can also be adopted by herself without King, however, we are requiring she go to a home that has another resident dog, and that she goes with a pal pup (either King or another known friend) for the first week during the transition phase, so that she doesn’t panic in a new home.

Story
Sadie is a loyal ~2yo spayed 55 pound active small German Shepherd. She loves lots of affection, long walks and playing with her toys. She is a moderate energy dog, playful and active but also settles down nicely indoors by your feet. She is housetrained and sleeps in a crate.  She will need an active home that will keep her mentally and physically busy. She will chase cats that run. She needs proper intro to new dogs.   She is undersocialized and also needs continued training and structure. She needs continued socializing with other dogs and people (reactive in public). She would do best in a home with German Shepherd experience, as she can be insecure and also defensive/protective. She would do best with a single woman, or will need experienced handlers in a multi ADULT home (NO CHILDREN) who will be willing to commit to working on her socialization. NO APARTMENTS!

Story
Foster, Adopt or Foster to adopt handsome Rocky!   Rocky’s beautiful eyes tell a history of abuse and neglect, but still hold a hope and love that will melt your heart. Although Rocky is initially shy, he greets trusted friends with a tail wag and asks for neck scratches. Just give him time to settle in, and Rocky will devote himself to you!   Rocky is a mellow fellow. He likes to always be near his trusted person, but doesn’t pester for attention. If he is given access to a yard, Rocky will move between indoor naps and outdoor activity on his own. He has been patient with up to four other dogs on our “pack walks” - even when the leash got tangled! Rocky loves to learn and is great in the car and on leash, and dog- and cat-friendly. Daily walks, yard time, and your presence will make him perfectly happy.    Rocky is 5+ years old, neutered, vaccinated, and healthy. He will be a wonderful companion in a calm, dog-savvy home. Because Rocky is happiest in a calm environment, we recommend a home without children. Rocky’s family needs to provide him with mental and physical enrichment and activities, help him build his confidence, and train him using force-free, positive, reward-based methods.    Please open your heart and home to Rocky! We will consider a foster, adopt, or foster-to-adopt arrangement.  http://www.tinyurl.com/AdoptMeNow September 22, 2024, 12:05 am

Story
[Located in Seattle] Honey is a beautiful 5 year young GSD who had a ruff start to life. You could see it in her body, her eyes, her skin + fur, and her poorly neglected ears + teeth We don't know where she was before the shelter or how she ended up in the shelter but she looks like another beautiful dog who was overbred + then dumped by the only family she knew when they couldn't use her anymore. Thankfully, we were able to pull Honey from the shelter with only 15 minutes left before her final notice expired.  As soon as we got Honey out of the shelter and into her foster home, she became a different dog - calm, trusting, + luving. Honey continues to come out of her shell with her doting foster. She enjoys going for walks, has a healthy appetite, is house-trained, and the sweetest luv bug who adores humans!  Honey is being fostered with 3 other dogs (raining in size from small to large) and does great with them - no resource or food guarding, can eat out of the same bowl as the other dogs, and shares her space and bones. She can live with other dogs with slow and proper introductions, and time to adjust to her new home and fur siblings. Honey also lives with a cat and has shown little interest in the cat. We recommend her going to a home without kids or with older, calm, and dog-experienced kids because we don't know if she had any experience with kids before we rescued her and hasn't had any exposure to them with her foster. If you're ready to fall in LUV with your new beautiful, sweet as Honey best furiend,  fill out an app to meet Honey today!

Story
Sheba is rescue from ShepHeroes. We got her when she was 3 months. She was supposed to be a dog for my mom because she has a big backyard and goes walking often. We lost our shepherd of 12 years and wanted my mom to have another dog. My mom got hurt and has been unable to walk her. My step dad also had back surgery and can not care for her. I took her in until we find her a good home. My mom and step dad are also looking to move overseas soon and so are we. I will care for her until we find a good home. Sheba is very friendly, but can be skittish at first. She is good around kids but still has puppy tendencies. She knows how to sit, shake, down and stay. She is very driven by treats. She does not have a high prey drive and loves going on walks and car rides. She also loves scratches under her arms. Sheba will be two in August of 2025. I think sheba will do great with a family that is active and has a backyard for her to release her energy or someone who can at least walk her daily

Story
Hi, I am Meeko, and I just might be the perfect match for you.  I am a loyal, 8 year old, 62 pound pup looking for my forever home.  Here is what my foster says about me!  Meeko bonds easily to one person and craves closeness to that person.  She loves attention and affection, but when it comes to food, look out, given a choice between food and her person, food comes first so be mindful of food left out!  Her activities include at least two easy daily walks, car rides where she can put her nose out the window to do sniffing, settling in with family, napping, watching TV and just relaxing.  While outside, she will chase small animals, and other dogs, if given the opportunity.  Lastly she so wants to be with her person that she has a hard time being left alone and likes it best when her family is settled and she can relax.   Meeko would benefit from having an experienced adopter who is able to spend time with her and provide her with the leadership she sometimes needs.  In summation, Meeko is looking for a moderate to active home, and is a precious dog who is sure to bring her new family lots of warmth and love.  ##1915683##

Story
Kaia is a sweet, nine-year-old German Shepherd with a mellow, easy-going temperament and a heart full of love. She’s the ideal companion for a quiet home where she can relax and enjoy her peaceful surroundings. Though she loves having her people around, she’s comfortable napping alone when left at home. When she catches the scent of treats, though, she’s happy to get up and join the fun! Kaia does well in the car and enjoys peeking out the window, especially when there are new sights and smells to explore.Kaia is incredibly gentle and friendly, winning over hearts with her calm, affectionate nature. Kaia walks well on a leash and doesn’t pull, especially when it’s just her and her handler. While she may get excited and pull toward other dogs to say hello, she responds well to redirection and is learning commands like "look at me" to stay focused. When meeting other dogs, Kaia may get a bit excited, but with a calm and structured introduction, she’s comfortable around them after a day or two. She’d likely do best with a dog sibling who’s polite and has good manners, as Kaia mostly enjoys napping when other dogs are around and appreciates a calm, respectful companion.She thrives with gentle activities like sniffing, exploring, and using her favorite snuffle mat to forage for treats, which is her favorite way to “play.” Kaia is crate-trained and well-behaved at home, and she doesn’t mind a good bath or grooming session. If you’re looking for a loyal, gentle soul to welcome into your life, Kaia could be the perfect fit. ##2137810##

Story
Hi everyone, this is Rusty. I found him as a stray. He is micro chipped, but not registered. I have already posted on every social media platforms/posted flyers. I have had him already for two weeks. Unfortunately I believe someone abandoned him . I would love to keep him, but I already have four dogs myself. I want to say he's about six months to a year. He is super friendly, super loving and energetic and smart. He loves to be around people and other dogs. He is even good with kids. So if you have other dogs or any kids he would love that because he does love to play. Rusty does know some command’s but he is still a puppy. He’s still in the learning process but he is very motivated and smart. Rusty is definitely an indoor dog. He loves to be with his family. I would love for a family to meet him and see how amazing he is. Rusty definitely deserves a loving family and a place to call home.
