Sadly Daina's family turned her into a shelter as she was experiencing digestive issues and weight loss.  Such a friendly, loving and sweet girl, she did not deserve to be abandoned especially in her time of need.   Now that Daina is with us she is receiving the care she needs and deserves.  She has been seen by our vet and is undergoing testing to determine why she is so emaciated.  She is receiving high quality nutrition and supplements and extra meals.  Daina deserves to know the love of a real family, one that will care for her no matter what.  Please consider Daina when looking for  your next BFF.

Samson came to us as an owner surrender.  Unfortunately his former family have their hands very full with medical needs, this left Samson home alone for too long.  He was very much loved and well cared for.  He is now looking for a new family, one that will love and care for him as much as his last family has.  Samson is a stunning, all white male GSD.  In his previous home he lived with young children and another male GSD.  Samson is a very smart boy, he can open doors using his mouth to turn the knobs, he can open a gate latch and knows how to get out of a wire crate.   He does need some basic obedience training, not only will this help him learn good manners, but it will also help to create a bond with his new family.  He enjoys spending as much as time as possible with his family.

Solomon came to us as an owner surrender.  Unfortunately his former family have their hands very full with medical needs, this left Solomon home alone for too long.  He was very much loved and well cared for.  He is now looking for a new family, one that will love and care for him as much as his last family has.  Solomon is a stunning, large, all black male with the shiniest coat.  In his previous home he lived with young children and another male GSD.  He does need some basic obedience training, not only will this help him learn good manners, but it will also help to create a bond with his new family.

Sapphire made her way to us from a shelter where she had been surrendered by her former owners.  They had told the shelter that she was good with children, dogs and cats.  She is in a foster living with young children and another GSD and getting along well.  We have not had her around cats.  She is a young, energetic girl that has had no training or guidance.  She's very trainable, she pays attention to her handler and is responsive to both food and praise.   A good training program, guidance from her family and exercise to burn off some that puppy energy are in order for beautiful Sapphire.

Kadian came to us a surrender, as her former person was not in the position to care for or keep her.  At 14 weeks old she has a whole lot to learn.  It is never too soon to start basic obedience training, as socialization with other dogs and people is very important, along with learning good puppy manners.  Puppies will chew things, have accidents, get into things and have lots of energy, so please be sure you have the time and patience it takes to raise a puppy.  Adopting a puppy is a commitment for their lifetime.

Merlin was surrendered as he kept escaping the yard with a 4 foot fence, suggested ways of keeping him contained were not implemented.  He had been with his family for 5 years and deserved more than to be given away.  As Merlin is new to us we are just getting to know him.  He lived with another dog in his prior home.  Right now he is confused and somewhat anxious with the changes in his life.  He does require training to help him with good canine manners and to learn what is expected of him.  Training is a great way to start the bonding process with a new family. 

Nikia was found as a stray and ended up in a shelter.  She is a beautiful, well behaved older girl, past the antics of a younger dog.  She would be happy hanging with her family, going for strolls and being loved.

Ralph came to rescue when he was a 6 month old puppy, all cuddly and cute.  Of course being a puppy lots of people were interested in adopting him.  His family adopted in 2016 and sadly returned him as  he is no longer the cute puppy they adopted.  Yes, we see this far too much, people getting puppies but once they are grown adults the puppy cuteness has worn off and they are surrendering the dogs through no fault of the dog.  While Ralph is no longer a puppy, he is a still a very handsome and loving young boy.  Ralph lived in a home with a toddler and did well.  He has had no obedience training, so his leash walking skills need improvement.  He enjoys being near people receiving attention.  He's a sweet boy that just needs some structure and training to make him the perfect little love-bug!    Ralph is looking for a family who will commit to him for his lifetime.

Boyka was surrendered to us as his former person was very busy with his graduate studies.  He knew that Boyka needed more time and attention then he could give him.  Boyka is very well behaved for a 7 month old puppy, he is housebroken and crate trained.  He will whine and bark when first going into his crate but will settle.  He absolutely loves the company of other dogs, both males and females, he wants to be near them all of the time.  He is currently in a foster home with another GSD and Boxer, both are seniors and he does so well with them.  He does have a lot of puppy energy, he enjoys going for walks, playing and running in the yard and a good game of keep away is a lot of fun.  He does not have perfect leash manners, but they aren't bad for a dog of his age.  He is a sponge and soaking up everything his foster mom is teaching him.  He has met children of varying ages and did well, but he does not take treats gently and his energy level may be too much for little ones.   Boyka is very ready for a good training program and a new forever family.

Luna came to us from a shelter so we have no history on her.  We do know that it looks as though she has had multiple litters. Well her mom days are now over.  It is her time to shine as a family pet.  She is as sweet as can be with everyone she meets, a well behaved girl.

Dax is a very handsome and big boy.  He came to us from a shelter so we have no history for him.  He is very friendly with people and enjoys spending time with them.  He has done well with other dogs, although he will react to other dogs that bark at him.  He would probably do best with a submissive dog, but one that enjoys playtime.   He has a more laid back personality, such a wonderful boy.

Maren was surrendered to us as her elderly caregivers were moving and could not keep her.  She has not had any training or guidance, nor has she been exposed to the world around her.  She will need a family who will commit to training to help her build her confidence and of course to learn good canine manners.  It is important that Maren has ongoing socialization and is introduced to the sounds, sights and smells of the world.  It is her families job to guide her, work with her daily, provide lots of playtime, exercise, love and care.

Bentley is a handsome Shepherd mix.  He is a fun dog that enjoys running around and playing.  He does have some training, but will require more training with his new family.  Training helps both the dog and humans learn more about each other, work better together and creates a bond. 

Midnight cannot be any cuter and is absolutely a great little girl, happy go lucky and loves to give puppy kisses.  Midnight has a lot to learn about going a good canine citizen and will require training.  Please remember that puppies are a lot of work and require a lot of attention from their family - puppies are a ten to twelve year commitment.  Puppies are full of energy and can be mischievous – they will whine, have accidents, get into things, and chew on inappropriate things.  With time, patience, guidance and training, Midnight will become even more of an amazing girl than she already is.  Please inquire if Midnight sounds like a good match for your family.

Fritz found himself in a shelter for reasons unknown.  He is now safely in our care waiting patiently to find his forever family.  He is a calmer boy with a friendly disposition.  He does have some good manners but will require formal obedience training so that he can be the best he can be.  Training is so very important, not just for the dog but also for their families.

Kimba was surrendered to us as her previous family stated she had too much energy and shed too much.  She lived in her previous home with smaller dogs and did well.  She has not been around children or cats so we do not know if she is good with them.  She is a friendly girl and oh so beautiful.  She will need a family that is willing to exercise and play with her, this will help her burn some energy.  Of course training is necessary.

Sadly Sadie recently lost her human dad as he unexpectedly passed away and her human mom is disabled and hospitalized.  As you can imagine Sadie is quite confused as to why she is not with her family, in a strange place with people she does know.  We are giving her time to settle in and adjust to her new surroundings.  She has been skittish with us but once she is comfortable with our volunteers she comes out of her shell and enjoys romping around.  Sadie would do best in a home that is not very busy as she is somewhat of a flight risk as she continues to look for her family.  With time and patience she will overcome this and become bonded to her new family.  
 

Gypsy cannot be any cuter and is absolutely a great little girl, happy go lucky and loves to give puppy kisses.  Gypsy has a lot to learn about going a good canine citizen and will require training.  Please remember that puppies are a lot of work and require a lot of attention from their family - puppies are a ten to twelve year commitment.  Puppies are full of energy and can be mischievous – they will whine, have accidents, get into things, and chew on inappropriate things.  With time, patience, guidance and training, Gypsy will become even more of an amazing girl than she already is.  Please inquire if Gypsy sounds like a good match for your family.

Keily was surrendered to the shelter as her family had too many dogs in their home.  Keily is only 6 months old and has a lot to learn in order to be the best canine she can be.  She has a lot of energy which is typical of dog her age.  She needs someone to commit to taking her to training so that she can learn good canine manners.  A family that is active, will spend time taking her for walks, playtime and of course commit to her for her lifetime.
