German Shepherd Dog

Story

Marcus is such a sweet, loving, gentle boy. He is only a year or two old. He was found as a stray and was unclaimed at the shelter where we rescued him just before he was going to be euthanized because the shelter was out of room. Someone must have loved Marcus (we call his “Woofie”) because he trusts people and already knows “sit” and “stay”—and “shake hands”! He came to us from a shelter in Texas, and—not too surprisingly (coming from the deep south)—he has tested positive for heartworms. He seems to be healthy, though, and our vet thinks that he must just have just recently been infected, so she is quite certain no permanent harm has been done. Once he finishes his treatment, he will be as good as new. We have been treating him over the summer months, and he will be “good to go” by mid- to late September. Marcus walks well on a leash and is good with other dogs. His foster mom thinks--with just a little training--he would make a wonderful therapy dog, visiting children in hospitals and the elderly in nursing homes. Marcus would enjoy a safely fenced yard (no "invisible" fencing) and an adopter who is home much of the time. His adoption fee is $375 and he has been neutered, microchipped, tested (negative) for intestinal parasites, and he is updated on his distemper and rabies shots. If you feel you would be a good match for Marcus (and vice versa) please e-mail his foster “mom” at: sylvialovesme@gmail.com and tell her about yourself—your daily schedule, your other family members and pets, if you have a safely fenced yard, etc. (Marcus is a very special dog so we are looking for just the right match.) After we receive your inquiry, if it appears that you and Marcus would be a good match for each other, his foster mom will e-mail you an adoption application and once you have filled it out and returned it, a meet-and-greet can be scheduled.

Scooby is a goofy, loving boy who deserves an amazing home. He can be anxious with big noises, new situations. He genuinely wants to be loved and to play, unfortunately as a single full time working mom I cannot offer him the support he needs and deserves. Someone who has the right environment and ability would find a loyal pal who will keep your feet warm and house safe at night and join you on all the hikes. We are moving soon and need to find Scooby a home where he can be happy soon, reach out if interested in giving Scooby a home.

Sasha (PA)

Details

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Sasha is being fostered in PA. Sasha needs to be an only dog. She does not like active dogs Sasha can ONLY be adopted to a home with older children or all adults. Sasha is NOT good with cats. Sasha is spayed. Christmas time is here, soon a new year will dawn, and I’m still patiently waiting for my furever home and that special family to give me lots of love and belly rubs. I enjoy walks and will do OK without a fenced yard if you take me out on walking adventures. If you have a fenced yard I will run and play with you. I just enjoy the company of peeps. I don’t care to be with other dogs, just be by myself with my humans. I am a good girl in the house…unless you leave tasty morsels of food on the counter. Then I may just have to help myself! I know Sit, Down, am learning Wait, but I don’t really want to wait, hee hee. I also do pretty well on a leash. I’m still working on some other things like no jumping up on my peeps. I just want to greet and say Hi and give kisses and hugs to my peeps. BDRA has voted against the use of electrical fencing effective immediately.

RIVER

German Shepherd Dog Mixed Breed (Medium)

Female, Adult

Slinger, WI

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Intake Reason: Returned due to allergiesWeight: 63.4# Known with: ·Cats: Unknown ·Dogs: Best with calm dogs. ·Kids: Did well with teenagers but will need to be supervised with young children. Personality:Greetings, my name is River and I am a beautiful southern belle from Alabama. I was quickly adopted by a wonderful person but came back to WCHS when they discovered that I made them sneeze. I adore people and certainly do not want to be the cause of them feeling miserable so I agreed it made sense to look for a new home. I am a gentle gal who could use a little confidence building. Since learning new skills can boost a girl's self-assuredness, I think it would be lovely to take some classes with you so I am introduced to new things. We could take obedience classes and participate in rally or get involved in canine sports, practice nose-work or just play dog parkour when we are out and about. I already know the cues for ‘sit', ‘down' and ‘paw/shake' and think I could learn many more human words with your patient and positive training techniques. I have had fun joining a playgroup with calm dogs at the shelter; I am not a fan of crazy and rambunctious pups. I sort of fancy myself as the group police-pooch when the other dogs are playing; I figure someone has to referee. The person who I stayed with for a while found that I liked car rides and was comfortable in a crate, especially when it has comfy cozy blankets and comes with long-lasting frozen Kong treat to keep me busy. I had a brief encounter with a feline; I was off-leash, saw the kitty and whined a bit and the cat did not move. That does not make me an expert on felines, but perhaps I have potential to live in harmony with them. I understand the concept of house-training but when I first come to my new home it would be wise to give me plenty of potty breaks until we learn each other's signals and routines. I am a friendly and affectionate gal who is quiet in the house; I am a big fan of snuggle sessions after a fun day of play. At over 60 pounds, I may be a skosh big for your lap but I would be honored to have a place at your side. I am an active lass who will need physical and mental exercise each day to keep me happy and healthy; it is important for me to keep my brain busy and engaged. I also love a rousing game of fetch. I spent time with some teenagers and did well; I have been known to jump up on people so I should be supervised if tiny tykes are around. I am a spectacular pooch with loads of love to give and promise to be a loyal companion forever. I hope you stop by to meet me because I know you will be enamored by my dazzling personality. #2

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Intake Reason: Surrendered due to owner's healthWeight: 73# Known with: ·Cats: Unknown ·Dogs: Does well in WCHS playgroups ·Kids: Exposed to newborn thru teenager--did wellPersonality: Playful, active, likes to play fetchHello, my name is Ozone, I am 81 pounds of spectacular and I find myself in a circumstance where I need a new home. I lived with a person my whole life but unfortunately their health took a turn for the worse and they could no longer take care of me so I came to WCHS. Since I am an optimistic lad, I am making the best of my situation and spending my time romping in playgroups, taking wonderful walks with volunteers and keeping my brain busy with enrichment. I am a strong boy who is a bit strong-willed; some have even called me stubborn. In my defense sometimes I lock onto a fabulous smell and feel I must insist upon pulling towards it. I suppose one of the things I should work on is being a little more polite when on a leash; I tend to pull towards things of interest. I have a wanderlust spirit and must confess that if I am off-leash I have been known to run off in search of adventure. I do thoroughly enjoy going on walks because I have a great nose and there are so many wonderful odors to explore. I like to run and have sort of a digital method of walking; zero or one. I stop to soak in a smell, then run off to the next scent where I stop again and then repeat the process. In my previous home I lived with children from newborn to teenagers; I have lots of energy so running with kids was a good way to burn some energy. I used to play with some neighborhood dogs which also kept me active and was able to get exercise running around in my fenced yard playing fetch. In my previous home I was comfortable in a crate. It was my own private little den with comfy cozy blankets and fun toys where I could relax when I was alone in the house or snooze at bedtime. I am a smart boy and already know the cues for ‘sit', ‘down' and ‘shake/paw'; with your patient and positive training I am sure I could learn many more human words. I understand the concept of house-training and would ask to go outside by whining and pacing. When I get to my new home it would be wise to give me plenty of opportunities for potty breaks until we learn each other's signals and routines. I am a firm believer in daily exercise, both physical and mental, and would love to play brain teaser games or using a foraging mat at mealtime. I am friendly and affectionate; I would love to have long snuggle sessions in the evenings after a day filled with fun. I am a cheerful pup who is sure to bring sunshine and laughter to your home; I know we can have a magnificent life together. I hope you come by to make my acquaintance because I think it will be love at first sight.#2

ANJA

German Shepherd Dog Mixed Breed (Medium)

Slinger, WI

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Intake Reason: transferred from MADACCWeight: 45#Known with: ·Cats: introduced to 2 in foster; chased but not aggressive with ·Dogs: loves other dogs; lived with 1 & 2 yr old shepherd and terrier for approximately one week; WCHS recommends Anja goes home with another dog ·Kids: unknownHi, my name is Anja; that name has German and Russian roots and means ‘grace'. I am a shy, sensitive and charming girl with a certain simple elegance so I think my name is very fitting. I came to WCHS from MADACC (Milwaukee Area Domestic Animal Control Commission) where I was a stray. I have not had too many opportunities for socialization so lots of things make me nervous and are even kind of scary. When I am in an uncomfortable situation or I am afraid of something my first instinct is to run away from it; perhaps that is how I ended up as a lost dog. Anyway, the reason I mention that is because I will be depending on you to keep me safe and out of trouble; since I am a flight-risk it might be prudent for me to always wear a Martingale collar. And it goes without saying that I should not be off-leash unless I am in a secure area; at least until I have a great recall and develop some confidence. I am still a youngster so there are many things I need to learn, discover and explore. I am hoping for a family who has experience with my breed and has the time and desire to help me safely navigate the world and allow me to experience new things each day. Learning new skills and conquering new situations can do wonders to boost a pup's self-assuredness. I will need you to encourage me to take on new challenges but let me go at my own pace with lots of praise; the key is to stay calm and go slow. I crave affection and melt when someone gives me tender scratches under my chin; I may just roll over to ask for a full-blown belly-rub. Although I am cautious, I am curious about the world around me and like to explore with my nose; I will walk with you if you coax me. I think tasty treats are very nice but must confess sometimes I am too anxious to think about eating; cuddles and praise are always welcome. I have participated in a playgroup at the shelter and it took me a little while to warm up so I could relax and enjoy myself; I do best with calm dogs. I do happen to be the owner of a spectacular schnoz so maybe we can put that to good use. Using a foraging mat at mealtime could help keep my brain busy and scent games would be a fun to learn. I have incredible bright eyes and a magnificently long tail. I think I need to grow into my tail a bit because it drags on the ground when I walk; I am going to be a stunning and tall young lady. Since I am just a pup I will need practice with house-training. It would be lovely to take some obedience classes with you; those would not only be a great way for us to build a bond but they would be fabulous socialization opportunities for me. I know with your positive techniques, patience and love I will blossom into a stupendous dog who trusts you and promises to be loyal forever. I know I can bring joy and happiness into your life and would really like to meet you. Stop by and ask for the enchanting and graceful Anja.#2
