Story
   Soft, gentle, eager to please and affectionate, Volunteers at Molly’s Place use these words to describe my temperament. I’m Star, a 2 ½ year old Shepherd Mix gal weighing approx. 50# who wants to “Light up your Life” with love! The word “Star” means “Sprinkle or Adorn with or as if with Stars”. I’m a VERY CALM, Cool and a “Well Balances Behaved” girl that is initially shy with new people, but I do warm up and want to be loved on. Due to this shyness, I do need a 4 ft fenced to allow me time to adjust. Once connected, I’ll gaze at you with my soft dark eyes highlighted by a shiny black coat and tan accents. You will then be “MY STAR” and hope for the life I pray for! Good with ALL AGES of 2 leggeds folks, due to my initial skittishness, younger folks must be mature in manors, as quick actions make me afraid, NOT NASTY. Although already leash and crate savvy, I am very smart, but have not had an opportunity to learn basic house manors. With my Shepherd intelligence and your coaching this will come quick. Other “Shining” attributes are my love of toys, playful manors with other dogs and possibly cats. Yes, I am a “SOFT SOUL” with a BIG Heart who demonstrate tenderness and sensitivity.    Please meet me in this or any Galaxy. Just fallow the glimmer of hope I present, you will see the “Twinkle in my Eyes” and the Brightness of my Soul. “I’m Star” a girl who deserves a home filled with love, affection to allow my radiance to shine bright. Then you will thank “YOUR LUCKY STARS I’m YOURS”! To submit an adoption application, visit mollysplacerescue.org. Fill the form out completely, print, scan and email back to mollysplace@verizon.net.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Rosie (previously Lucy) and her siblings were found in a bin along a country road in Alabama with their tails tied.  Mostly likely, the owner was trying to dock them from home :(  Unfortunately, we do believe that they have permanent damage to their tails, however, it does not bother them! They joined our rescue on February 11th and are now in search of their new forever homes!Rosie has now been with us for 4 months and we are still searching for the right home for her!  She is now 50 lbs and is going to be a large dog, but not huge.  There is a lot of german shepherd in her, but she may have some other breeds in her.What we have learned about Rosie is that she prefers a quieter household.  We had adopted her out, but the family had a business and entertained a lot and it just had Rosie very antsy and unsettled.  It was not the right fit and she was returned. She is timid when you meet her, but she does warm up and becomes a very loving and loyal pet!  She is crate trained and is only crated when no one is home.  At night time, she sleeps with her foster mom.  Rosie is also house trained and will go to the door when he has to go out.  She walks well on a leash and  rides okay in a car (she drools).  We have also found out that she LOVES the water!!Rosie's foster family has a older daughter and she is used to being around children.  She loves to lounge on the couch with her best furry friend, Daisy.  Her foster mom said she is not snuggly with her humans, but enjoys laying with the dogs.  Rosie definitely needs a home with another dog or more and ones that are her size or bigger as she loves to play!   Rosie is spayed, up to date on distemper/parvo and rabies vaccinations, microchipped, dewormed and current on flea/tick/heartworm prevention.  The adoption fee is $450.If you are interested in Rosie, please submit an application on our website at https://worthytails.rescuegroups.org.  For any questions, please send an email to jessie.wilson@comcast.net.Thank you for your interest in a rescue pup!PA Dog License #4709 (Cumberland County)Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.August 17, 2024, 12:50 pm

Story
We are looking for a savvy German Shepherd dog owner to provide a loving and caring home for Maverick. Maverick is a sweet and loving animal who enjoys being outside and receiving attention from his owner and family. Maverick was surrendered by an owner who no longer had the desire or time for a dog in her life. Maverick is currently in a boarding kennel and socializes well with other dogs. He is a very quiet German Shepherd, though after a few days with us he has entertained us with yodeling when other dogs are being played with. He is a smart and loyal friend who does a good job of staying calm in various situations. ​We hope to find him an owner who is active and wants a companion who has excellent behaviors and advanced obedience, though a little rusty at this time. Someone please give this boy the love he deserves and he will serve you for life.

Story
Leon is a 3 years old, September. I rescued him at 6 months old. He has separation anxiety and whines quite a lot if left unattended. Very vocal when it comes to wanting attention or on guard to protect household. We are expecting in October and will be unable to give him the dedication he deserves. With a household of 2 small children, baby on the way and 2 parents working full time. We have our hands full. We find ourselves not being able to give him the attention he needs. Looking for an experienced adopter who specializes in rescues and/or special needs required. Someone willing to dedicate time. Leon tries to be the alpha in the household. Stern love and physical affection, rough play dog. He is very sweet and loving but requires a lot of physical attention and physical activity. Adoption fee up for discussion, just looking for someone to not give up on him and provide happy healthy home.

Story
Zara is a 4-year-old German Shepard rescue that was left behind a dumpster as a puppy. We got her a few years ago. She is a sweet dog and is very playful. She needs an owner who can allow her to be very active. We now have 2 children, and after our second child was born our schedule has gotten so busy she has become stressed out as we have a small house and it is simply not her domain anymore. We have debated rehoming her for over a year and are sad to see her go, but know she will be a lot happier in a home where she can get the attention she needs. She is very good with children and plays well with other dogs as well!

Story
PLEASE NOTE! Unless stated otherwise, our dogs and puppies are located in Arkansas, and transported to the north/northeast once adopted. We do occasionally have dogs/puppies placed in foster homes in the north/northeast. In the cases where the pet is somewhere other than Arkansas, it will be noted beside the name of the pet.&#226&#128&#188&#239&#184&#143Kuma graduates from Paws in Prison in just a few weeks. We’d really love for him to have an adopter ready and waiting&#226&#128&#188&#239&#184&#143 &#226&#173&#144&#239&#184&#143Great with kids (even toddlers) and other dogs!&#226&#173&#144&#239&#184&#143 &#226&#173&#144&#239&#184&#143From Arkansas Paws in Prison Foundation- “Hush. Don’t say it. Not one word. That’s not why we’re ear. I mean, here. We want to concentrate on how cute, sweet and genuine Kuma is. All this adorableness, and he’s not even an earling yet. I mean, yearling. Kuma is about 7-8 months old. He weighs 30 pounds and is a mix of who the heck knows. Maybe some shepherd or lab or Hubble telescope. Just about anything is possible. We love this sweet guy and his extra large, over the top, might be a Guinness world record sized…heart. You thought we were gonna say ears, didn’t you? Nope. We’re not saying a word. Except that Kuma is magnificent!” &#226&#173&#144&#239&#184&#143This little guy is just wonderful! He is housetrained, leash trained, good with other dogs, good with kids (even toddlers!), and loves everyone he meets! &#226&#173&#144&#239&#184&#143He is fully vetted (neutered, UTD on age appropriate vaccines, microchipped, and started on flea/tick and heartworm prevention). Located in Arkansas, but transport is available. Adopter must be able to pick up or arrange for someone to pick up for them at one of the following times/locations.Harrisburg, PA 2am FridaysPort Jervis, NJ 5am FridaysSouthington, CT 8am FridaysEast Hartford, CT 11am Fridays To apply, please fill out the adoption app: https://form.jotform.com/212690945239059 email apps.aasr@gmail.com with any questions. &#226&#173&#144&#239&#184&#143If you aren’t familiar with Paws in Prison, it’s an amazing program where dogs are paired with inmates. These inmates have gone through training themselves, to learn how to properly train the dogs. Once enrolled, the dog lives at the prison with the inmates for 8 weeks. During that time, they are trained in basic obedience. They learn skills like house training, basic commands, leash walking, manners, etc. The inmates and the dogs all meet with the trainer once a week in a common area, where all the dogs are together, and each week they show the trainer what they have learned, and get assigned new tasks for the following week. Each inmate keeps a journal on their dog. The journal is passed along to the adopter one the dog is adopted. The journal tells all about the dog, what they have learned, what they still need to work on, likes/dislikes, etc. At the end of the 8 weeks, the dog goes thru the Canine Good Citizen test.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Our typical adoption fee for puppies younger than 6 months old is $400, and for older puppies and adults, the usual fee is $350. This includes microchip, spay/neuter,  up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, dewormings, flea/tick treatment, and heartworm test (if over 6 months old) as well as heartworm treatment if they test positive. There is a transport fee of $150 per dog, depending on the transporter. We use Pack Leaders Rescue Dog Transport most often, but also use Hearts Transport as well on occasion.

Story
This sweet girl, her mom and 6 siblings got surrendered at a local kill shelter and she was just hours away from being euthanized. A lady with a kind heart rescued her and now she is safe with Funny Farm. She is such a sweet loving girl and at about 4 months old already weighs 25 pounds so we are thinking she will be large. She will be ready to travel to her forever home about Aug 17th if everything goes as planned. If you are searching for a puppy who will grow to be large, look no further. Please visit funnyfarmpets.org where you can read all about our TN based rescue and how the adoption and transport process works. If you are interested in adopting you will need to submit the application at https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FFRR/Dog Her adoption fee will be $399 and if she has to be transported from TN, the transport fee is an additional $200 She will be fully vetted :)
