Story
We rescued Phoenix almost a year ago, she was our 3rd puppy, sadly with moving to Georgia we are unable to move with her! She’s extremely playful and fun to be around, gets along with our other two dogs very well. She’s crate trained and loves her cage time - she’ll play and when she’s exhausted she’ll put herself in the cage to recharge. She’s very quiet, I’ve never heard her bark in the year we’ve had her. All around a great doggy just looking for a safe new home!

Ace is a great lovable dog that was given to me just a couple of week ago however , I have had an unexpected illness in my family that is taking up most of my time and will so long term therefore I am not able to give him the attention and care that he needs. Ace needs a good home that can provide him with lots of love and attention.

I love playing with other dogs and running around the yard. I am even good on walks! I am still working on my commands and manners, since I didn’t learn anything in my previous life.

Story
My name is Amory. I was rescued from a breeding operation where I was found neglected, used for profit and then forgotten about. Miami Valley Pit Crew heard about me when one of their shelter partners reached out for help. MVPC swooped in and decided to bring me in until the most perfect home could be found. I am a stunning lady, but don’t let my looks fool you, I love to get down and dirty like any good GSD does. I keep my crate clean and dry, and as long as I’m kept on a schedule, won’t have any accidents in my home. I would love an active family with a big yard to patrol. ADOPTION FEE: $350 (All MVPC dogs are heartworm-tested and on prevention, completely vetted, spayed/neutered, microchipped, crate-trained and house-trained) ADOPTER: Dog experience FENCE: Required (an electric fence is not an acceptable form of containment) DOG FRIENDLY: Yes!

Story
Hello there, my name is Gage! I came to MVPC from a 3 strikes and you're out family. First strike, they kept me outside in a kennel my whole life where I caught a couple different parasitic infections. Second strike, they taught me nothing. Third strike, they weren't very nice to me. Thank goodness I wound up here! I'll be honest with you, I'm a high energy work in progress. Luckily, I'm also a smart guy who wants to please you. I just have a lot to learn, and I got started a little late. I am super sweet and am finding that positive attention is the bee's knees! I am adjusting to being a house dog, and I like it! I'm picking up on my commands, and learning to settle down. Leash manners and being less mouthy are also on my agenda. I don't really like my crate after 3 years in a kennel, but I am doing a little better every day. I do have my potty manners down! Other dogs are pretty awesome, but I need to learn proper play. I don't know much about cats yet. I want to be with you or near you at all times - I absolutely need a family with GSD experience that will understand me and my needs because I don't really understand them myself yet. But I am willing and anxious to find out. If you are looking for a loyal and loving new pal and are willing to help me become the best version of a GSD, I would love to meet you! ADOPTION FEE: $400 (All MVPC dogs are heartworm-tested and on prevention, completely vetted, spayed/neutered, microchipped, crate-trained and house-trained) ADOPTER: Dog experience BIRTHDAY: 8/21/20 FENCE: Required (an electric fence is not an acceptable form of containment) DOG FRIENDLY: Yes!

Story
Hi! My name is Judge and I am a 10 week old German Shepherd puppy. I was surrendered to the shelter with my brother Jacoby by a backyard breeder at only 5 weeks old. I’m getting to be a big boy now and am ready to find my family. I am a typical shepherd puppy and don’t have an off switch. I love to explore and get into things. I have had a great start at socialization and am very brave in new experiences. My favorite past time is digging holes and climbing on things. My new family must understand my needs and what it will take to make me a happy, well adjusted adult. Daily vigorous exercise, and exposure to new things is a must. I weigh 25lbs and will be a big boy. Right now I’m all legs and ears, but that won’t last long. I am still young and working very hard my house training (so I may still have accidents) and manners with cats. ADOPTION FEE: $400 (All MVPC dogs are heartworm-tested and on prevention, completely vetted, spayed/neutered, microchipped, crate-trained and house-trained) I AM READY TO GO HOME!!

Story
I bought Echo roughly 2 years ago from a seller off the AKC's website. She had all of her shots as a puppy and her 1 year shots but has not been back since. Echo is very energetic and passionate about her family. She does excellent playing with my now 8 year old son and has never had an incident. Considering her energetic personality and need to play, she will need someone with land to let her run. The only downside to echo is that she can be aggressive towards strangers. She is a very smart dog (can perform tricks, sit, lay, shake, etc.) and I'm confident with the proper training she could overcome her fear of strangers. Please contact me for more information and know that the rehoming fee is for her sake and is no where near what she's worth or what I paid for her.

Story
Eva and Luna are German Shepherd sisters that were adopted by my family in the early months of 2020. They are from the same litter born around February 9, 2020. Eva (black and tan) is very ball driven she could play ball all day long, but she also knows how to relax and enjoy being lazy. She knows the basic commands sit and lay down and can also speak. We have never had an issue with her around other kids and dogs. Luna (all black) is very driven by her ball and her sister Eva. Although they both get jealous of each other, Luna is more dependent around people and makes her a little more protective of her people. She loves kisses a lot and she loves being the center of attention. Luna is slower at listening than Eva but she still responds to commands quickly. She knows the basic commands of sit and lay down. Both girls are house trained and do great home by themselves. They have never been separated and are not leash trained or crate trained because they listen so well.
