Story
Emma was born and adopted in 2016. She is a pure bread German Shepard from a legitimate line; she was certified upon birth. The initial adopters had trouble adapting their dogs to Emma's presence when she was a puppy, and as a result had to put her up for adoption. She was quickly adopted into a home where she was the only dog. Due to her poor experiences with other dogs at an early age, Emma is very defensive around other dogs. She was house trained and gets along very well with adults and children. She absolutely loves to play frisbee, go for walks and cuddle. Her current family is active duty military and is growing. The attention that Emma deserves and needs cannot be given to her at this time due to the owner's pregnancy and pregnancy complications, work schedules and another tiny human to take care of. We just want what's best for her because she really is just the sweetest girl. She has a lot of personality and really would make an excellent and cuddly addition to any home.

Story
SUSIE (A541625 is a 2yr old female German Shepherd that came in as a stray on 01/07/2025. Susie is a playful German Shepherd who is listed as 2-years-old. She was easy to leash up and get outside. She went potty right away and several times. Once outside, she loved the snow! She has a nice coat on her and a good weight which is nice to see. Susie loved to come up close and give kisses, demanding pets. She was a little anxious and unsure of. The shelter is a scary place! She didn’t show too much interest in toys at the time. She would benefit from someone who will allow her to decompress and can provide her with exercise and a happy home. If you’re looking for a loving working dog, come meet Susie.

Story
CLARK (A554734)Meet Clark, a patient and gentle one-year-old German Shepherd mix. Despite being new to the shelter and understandably a bit anxious, Clark was easy to leash up and handle for his walk. He’s curious about his surroundings, particularly intrigued by other dogs through the glass, and he took care of his business multiple times when we were outside. While Clark is still adjusting to his new environment and didn’t show much interest in people just yet, his calm demeanor and gentle nature suggest he’ll gain some confidence with time and patience. Clark is looking for a compassionate home where he can feel safe and loved. Could you be the one to help him settle in and thrive?
