Story
At just 11 months old, Harris, a stunning German Shepherd puppy, has already faced challenges most of us can hardly imagine. Found as a stray and on the brink of an untimely end in the euthanasia room, Harris's fate took a miraculous turn when he was saved at the last possible moment. This act of kindness has given him a second chance at life, one he so richly deserves. Harris's journey from the streets to the safety of the shelter has been nothing short of extraordinary. Despite his unsettling start, his spirit remains unbroken. When you approach his kennel, you're greeted by a wagging tail, squinty eyes, and low ears—a testament to his gentle and hopeful nature. He may be a bit hesitant at first, as he follows treats and leads with a bit of uncertainty, but his willingness to trust and love again shines through his cautious demeanor. Once out of his kennel and given a moment to adjust, Harris shows his true colors. He's a puppy who craves affection and interaction, albeit on his terms as he warms up to new surroundings and people. The shelter staff has made sure he receives extra enrichment, helping him to build confidence and prepare for a life outside the shelter walls. Adopting Harris means welcoming a companion who has seen the darker side of life but remains optimistic about the future. He'll need patience, love, and understanding as he adjusts to his new home, but the rewards will be immeasurable. With time, Harris will transform from a cautious puppy into a loyal and loving member of your family, grateful for the second chance you've given him. If you're ready to be the hero in Harris's story and give him the loving forever home he deserves, please contact us to learn more about the adoption process. Together, we can give Harris the life he was meant to live, full of love, safety, and endless tail wags. We strongly believe in crate training your new arrival and keep the crate up so your pupper has their safe place, of course, their safe place should be full of dog beds, pillows and blankies. Pet insurance is required prior to pick up, please make sure you calculate this into your monthly expenses we recommend Trupanion Why Trupanion? 1) Coverage for all new injuries and illnesses 2) They pay directly to the hospital or facility 3) Unlimited payout for the lifetime of your pet. Please send a copy of your policy to deb@pawsfromafar.org Paws From Afar believes that all dogs should have adventures as often as possible, they need a change of scenery, smellery, new paths to explore or oceans to swim in.  Harris is up-to-date on all vaccines and will be altered when he arrives to you his adoption fee is $500. If the pup is still listed, then they are still available.

Story
My name is Bella Mia and as you can see, I am a beautiful golden girl that smiles and welcomes everyone I meet with an open heart of friendship.  I am a German Shepherd/Great Pyrenees mix that is obviously going to be large and just bigger to love.  They say I was born around February 11, 2023 and for sure I am still very much a puppy even though I weigh 76 pounds.  They whisper behind my back and say that “she is a very smart girl” and that makes me want to be even smarter.  I try to keep my sweet personality showing out there 24/7 even though I am competing for attention from my other large and in charge siblings.  I am learning things but my foster family is busy and they are just maintaining good care for me and my large siblings.  I have energy to burn and I need a fenced yard to run in and someone that will focus on teaching me.  I need a loving and training oriented family who loves to bring a dog from A to Z status.  I survived a very tough start in life and am one of 12 siblings.  Only six of us survived.  I like fun, lots of activity and the hustle and bustle of family.  I need a fenced yard that is 6 ft. tall and it would be best to have me with children who are over 8 years of age because of my large exuberant size.  I am a well-rounded girl that will make your home much more Fun and loving.  If you are interested in making me a part of your life, please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com PLEASE NOTE:   Our dogs and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region.  Request an application and learn more about Critter Cavalry at https://www.crittercavalry.com/adoption.August 19, 2024, 2:03 pm

Story
Active Axel is a handsome golden male German Shepherd/ Great Pyrenees mix who was born on February 11th, 2023 and is still a puppy in every way. He is one of six siblings that survived from a litter of 12. Our guy Axel weighs approximately 90 lbs, and is very GSD smart loving to be next to his humans.  This huge puppy is full of energy and he will fit perfectly in a home where there is a lot of activity, a fenced yard and people who love the BIG DOGS! He really likes walking, hiking, and just a ton of fun with activity. He also loves water and treats the water trough as his own personal spa. We recommend a home with a fence that is a minimum of 5 feet tall.   We do not suggest he go to a home with small children, or farm animals simply because he has no experience with them.  He hangs with his siblings and does well playing with them and also just enjoying their company.  He does need to eat separately for dinner as he protects his food from the other dogs due to early starvation. Handsome Axel is fully vetted, neutered and microchipped and he is kennel and crate trained for quiet time.  This boy needs some time and attention from a caring and dog savvy owner.  He would love to cuddle with you and be your adored companion.  He has such potential…..such love and such a need to grow and evolve into a fine companion in life.  Please email us at ccrtennessee@gmail.com if you are interested in this big baby!  PLEASE NOTE:  Our dogs are transported from Tennessee to meeting places in the states where we have posted.  Further information about us is given on our Adopt-A-Pet site.  The adoption fees vary and will be provided as well as noted on the application you receive.  Contact us at 615-661-5333 or ccrnewengland@gmail.comAugust 19, 2024, 2:03 pm
