Ruston is a 4 year old German Sheppard. We had him since he was an 8 week old puppy. We love him so much, unfortunately our schedule has just become too busy. We have a two year old running around here, and we just dont have the time to go on hikes with him anymore. He does great with children, cats and other dogs. He has basic house trained knowledge. Were looking for someone with a nice backyard for him to roam freely or someone that can be active with him. He loves to please and has a heart of a puppy. If you would like to meet him, please let us know! -Adan Martinez

Hi my name is Serenity. I am looking for my happily furever after.  I was rescued and then abandoned at a boarding facility with 40 other dogs.  This rescue stepped in to help me and 11 of my friends and now we have a second chance. I have friends where I live and would love a home with a doggie friend. I am not fond of cats. I am eager to please and follow commands and love learning new tasks.   My caregivers take me on long walks as I am quite adventurous. The word "favorite" is used alot to describe me. It might be because I give the best kisses. I am very affectionate and love getting rubs and praise.  I am looking forward to meeting my furever people. ##2042780##
