Story
🚨 Calling all active families! 🚨 Meet Misha, a 3-year-old, 70-pound black German Shepherd who’s as smart as she is stunning. This playful, eager-to-please girl is always up for a game of fetch, a good run in the yard, or some quality time with her favorite people and pup friends. 🏃‍♂️🐾 Misha is a social butterfly—she adores humans, dogs, and even cats! Just a heads-up: she gets very excited to meet new friends and might greet them with some enthusiastic chatter. But once she’s said hello, she’s all about being sweet and submissive. While she doesn’t need another dog in the home, she’d love a furry playmate to match her energy. That said, Misha isn’t all go-go-go—she’s perfectly happy lounging around between adventures. 💊 Important Medical Info: Misha has Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency (EPI) and Atypical Addison’s Disease, meaning she requires daily medication and a strict feeding regimen (no sneaky treats!). Her EPI treatment can be costly, so she needs a family ready to manage her care long-term. 🐕 The perfect home for Misha? ✔️ An active family with a fenced yard ✔️ A commitment to her medical needs ✔️ Bonus points if there’s a playful dog sibling! Misha is ready to bring love, fun, and loyalty into the right home. Could that be you? Watch her in action here! 🎥 https://youtu.be/593gZO2Gyso Age: 2-3 years Weight: 70 lbs. Vetting: Up-to-date on vaccines, spayed and heartworm negative; pleaase note medical care requirements above Temperament: Great with everyone, loves dogs, great with kids; ok with cats Training: House trained but needs bathroom breaks every 4-6 hrs due to her medical conditions. For questions, please email ali.mentana@gmail.com To ensure we're meeting both pet and adopters' needs, we ask potential adopters to complete an Adoption Application (www.bit.ly/DH-Adoption) for caretakers to review. Once your application is approved, we will bring the adoptable pet to your home for a preliminary visit.

Story
Misha is a very smart and playful dog. While she does not require a canine companion, she would do best in a home with another dog that she can play with/direct some of her energy at. She loves everyone she meets (human, dog, cat) but can get very overeager to say hello (read: she gets very vocal) which some other animals can find off-putting; however, once she is able to say hello, she calms down quickly and is very submissive with new friends. She is eager to please and picks up on training very quickly. Misha would do best with an active family with a good fenced yard for playing fetch in. While she is a high-energy dog, she is not go-go-go all the time; she is content to laze around during the day or in between play sessions with her dog or human friends. The most important factor for Misha is finding a home with a family that is able to maintain her treatment regiment for her conditions (Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency and Atypical Addison's; the EPI in particular is expensive to treat.) Misha has Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency, which means she must take a special supplement with her meals and cannot have any food or treats in between meals/without that supplement.

Story
Kona a is a 7-year-old neutered German Shepherd boy who is up to date on all his shots and vet checks and who has been well taken care of.   Kona has lived with his family in a home with a fenced in yard for the past 3 1/2 years.  He is very loyal, loving and gentle with his current owner. He has some initial social anxiety, but is calmed by his people’s reassurance, so his best placement would be with a confident owner with previous German Shepherd familiarity and experience. After being initially introduced, he loves people and just wants to feel safe and seen, leaning in and giving kisses once he knows he is loved. He has lived in a home as the only dog and would prefer to be the only one to get all of your love and affection. He is comfortable with adults and older children but gets a little excitable around dogs in social settings and would need to be cat tested. Kona's previous owner has worked with him constantly to build his confidence and he loves to work for positive praise, yummy treats and belly rubs. He is loyal beyond belief and is extremely smart and able to learn anything that his owner is committed to teaching. The sky is the limit when it comes to training this boy. Kona and is crate trained and housebroken. He loves to explore his yard and enjoys company while he is outside and running around. He loves his people and enjoys snuggling on the couch with them and playing with his toys which he even loves to share with his human. Kona is a very special pup that needs a special family with lots of love and patience to help him feel safe and loved.  He gives 100% of all that love back! Kona is in search of his new home due to an unfortunate split of his current owners.  If you are looking for an awesome German Shepherd with all the quirky qualities that come along with it, Kona is your dream boy! If you show him love, patience and kindness he will reward you with loyalty and companionship that you’ve never felt before. Thank you for opening your hearts and homes to the sweetest GSD you will ever meet. Kona is not an 11th Hour Rescue dog, but we are helping network him so he can find a new home. Please reach out to his owner Donna by email at donnaland21@verizon.net for all questions or if you have interest in Kona. A meet & greet, as well as a home visit and vet references are required for all potential adopters. Kona is currently located in Point Pleasant, NJ.March 17, 2025, 7:18 pm
