Story
Hi, I'm Roxi – aka Roxanne, Rox, Sweet Baby Girl. Well - I’m not exactly a baby – I’m about 9 years young, but I am incredibly sweet, loving, gentle, and affectionate. To meet me is to love me! I get along great with other dogs, big and small, but can’t say I’m a big fan of cats (or at least the one I’ve met). I’m crate trained, sleep great through the night, I’m learning to walk well on my leash, already know some basic commands, loves riding in the car, and generally just cuddling with my people on the couch. I came into the shelter as a stray and in fairly rough shape with some skin issues, in desperate need of a dental, a mammary mass, and a double ear infection. I am also heartworm positive. But don’t worry, all of this is totally treatable!!! In fact, I’ve already had my spay, dental, and mass removed. My skin is improving, and I started the process of undergoing HW treatment. It’s amazing what a little TLC can do to transform a life. The best part – besides how much better I already feel and look - is you don’t even have to wait for me to finish my treatment before you can bring me home! I am part of HAR’s "foster-to-adopt" program, which means I can be with my forever family ASAP as a “foster”, while HAR covers the cost of all my medical procedures. And then the adoption becomes official once my treatments are complete! It’s a win-win! Roxi would love to start out 2025 in her forever home! So, please give this senior girl a chance. She is so deserving of finally having a loving home. I promise you won’t regret it. Please go to www.hopeanimals.org to apply!

Story
Chase is 3yo German shepherd mix. He is playful and full of energy. Gets along with other dogs but can sometimes irritate them with his playful energy. Unable to keep him as we have started to keep him outside more since my son has started to walk. Due to this he has been escaping and we are worried he may end up getting into some trouble.

Story
Meet Agatha, a vibrant German Shepherd who is 100% alive and full of life. Her enthusiasm for outdoor activities is unmatched, making her the perfect companion for an active family with kids aged 8 and above.Agatha thrives in the company of other dogs, especially those weighing 25 pounds and up. Whether cruising along paved trails in her scooter chair or frolicking in the backyard with her canine pals, Agatha is in her element. Outdoors, she expresses herself vocally, yet indoors, she transforms into an incredibly quiet and well-behaved companion. At least a year old now, Agatha has mastered the art of a peaceful night's sleep in her dedicated room.Her adaptability is evident as she navigates ramps effortlessly, and a few stairs pose no challenge. Agatha eagerly welcomes belly rubs and craves attention, making her a delightful addition to any family. Puzzle toys keep her engaged, and she excels at outdoor bathroom breaks. For any accidents indoors, cloth pads prove to be an effective solution.Agatha's love extends to rides in the vehicle, where she handles the experience with ease. With her joyful spirit and adaptable nature, Agatha is more than a pet; she's a pure joy to have as part of the family. ##1747122##

Story
Breed & Age: German Shepherd Mix, 1 year old Personality: Sweet, Silly & Goofy Likes & Dislikes: Likes - Playing, chew toys, cuddling. Hasn’t found anything to dislike yet!   Say “what’s up” to Willie Jack! This adorable pup is a bundle of joy who’s as sweet as he is silly! Willie Jack is always ready for some fun, whether it’s chasing toys, running around the yard, or curling up for a cozy nap once all the fun is done. Willie Jack is a lovable pup who knows his basic commands, is house and crate-trained, and is the perfect buddy to take on car rides for exciting adventures. He’s been living in a foster home with other dogs and is a big fan of his doggy buddies. He’d do well in a home with other dogs but could also be a solo co-pilot for all of your adventures. Though he’s still perfecting his leash skills, his eagerness to please makes him a quick learner, and he is VERY food-motivated (which makes training a breeze). Willie Jack is on the lookout for a family who’s ready to keep up with his playful spirit, let him be a part of all the fun and outings, spend lots of time with him, and help him continue his training so he can be the best boy. If you’re ready for a loyal, fun-loving furry friend who’ll make every day an adventure, Willie Jack is waiting to be your new best buddy!  ##1832974##

Story
Meet Fiona, a beautiful 5-year-old German Shepherd who is ready to find her forever home. Fiona was surrendered to Second Chance due to the family having allergies, but her temperament and loving nature make her a wonderful companion.Fiona has lived with young children and a 7-month-old Golden Retriever, so she is comfortable in a family setting. True to her breed, she is alert, protective, and will let you know if she sees something new, making her an excellent watchdog. However, she’s not all business—she is also incredibly sweet, affectionate, and loves attention.This smart girl is housebroken, crate-trained, and well-mannered. She knows basic commands like "sit" and "down" and is always eager to learn more. Fiona does pull a bit on the leash and would benefit from some training to walk more politely, but she’s a quick learner and will thrive with some consistency.Fiona would love a home with a fenced-in yard where she can run and play to her heart’s content. She is not suited for apartment living, as she enjoys having space to stretch her legs and keep an eye on everything around her.If you're looking for a loyal, loving, and active companion, Fiona could be the perfect fit for you. She’s ready to become a beloved member of your family!***Please Note: All the available dogs listed on our website are getting spoiled in private foster homes. If someone has caught your eye and you wish to arrange a meet and greet, we do need you to fill out the adoption application. When your adoption application is received our screening team will verify the information given. Once your application has been confirmed and approved, we will be send it over to the foster parent for review to determine if your home is a good match for the dog. In the event one lucky dog receives multiple applications, please know we do not select based on a first come basis. We try our best to select the best-fit for our animals and families. ***

Get ready to be dazzled by Dallas!!! Dallas is an adult, 62-pound shepherd mix with a little more weight to gain before he is feeling his best.

Dallas is ready to be such a loyal friend to a fur-ever human of his own! He wants you to know that he has so many winning qualities: he does well on a leash, he stays right by his human’s side, and he already knows several commands! (Dallas promises he could learn even more tricks from a gentle human with plenty of snacks!). Dallas is a majestic, sweetheart who whose warmth could turn any house into a home. Send in your adoption request today to meet this Dal-iciously cute fellow for yourself!
