Tank
ADOPTED 12/15/2019!
Good With Kids: Yes
Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Tank was taken to the vet to be euthanized because he helped himself to some livestock. Thankfully the vet would not kill such a young and friendly boy, instead she contacted us. Tank is good with other dogs, but will not do well with livestock, chickens or goats especially. Of course he requires training to teach good K9 manners and to learn to work with his new family. Time is needed by his family to help him settle in, learn the rules and to adjust to a new schedule. Tank has had his stomach tacked, this greatly reduces his chances of bloat. He will require daily exercise, walks, lots of love and attention for the rest of his life. He rides well in the vehicle, he enjoys looking out the window and getting a few head rubs. Please be certain you have what it takes for an energetic GSD and are committed for his lifetime.
Chloe
ADOPTED 12/07/2019!
Good With Kids: Unknown
Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Chloe came to us a surrender as her former owner did not like that she jumped up on her. This of course can be controlled with training and correcting this at the time. She lived in her prior home with other GSD’s and did well. She has not been around children or cats, so we do not know how she does with them. Chloe is a beautiful coated GSD, with the cutest ears. She has been friendly with our volunteers, but unsettled with the changes in her life. She did undergo a 3 week board and train, but her former owner did not attend training with her. Training is just as much about training the owner as it is the dog. You must learn to work together and create a bond.
Chiquita
ADOPTED 12/07/2019!
Good With Kids: Unknown
Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Chiquita was surrendered to a shelter due to her former person moving. She is a friendly young girl, enjoys the company of other dogs, and is attentive to her family. She needs to gain some weight, but otherwise looks good. Training of course is required, not only for Chiquita but also for her family.
Johnny
ADOPTED 12/01/2019!
Good With Kids: No
Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Johnny came to us from a shelter, we have no history for him. Since arriving in our care, he has been a complete gentleman. A little unsure with his new surroundings at first, but has quickly settled in. Johnny is a kind gentle soul and is very gentle with his handler. He enjoys belly rubs, being with his people, staying by his human's side, and will look to his handler for guidance. Johnny is a wonderful boy and anyone would be lucky to have him.
Updates:
Johnny is starting to settle in with our volunteers but is still lacking confidence and trust; however, as he gets to know the people he decides to trust more, he greets them with kisses and tail wags. Because of Johnny's insecurities, he would learn from a home with a confident dog to help show him the way forward. Johnny would also do best with a handler who has prior GSD experience as well to help build his confidence with training and reinforcement. Keep an eye on Johnny's progress and ask to meet him if your home may be a good fit for him.
Liam
ADOPTED 12/01/2019!
Good With Kids: Older kids, over 10
Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Liam, along with his siblings Luc and Lieve lived outside without proper care or an adequate amount of food for growing puppies. Thankfully they were brought to our attention and brought into our care. They were underweight, but with proper nutrition they have gained weight. The pups are a mix of Dutch Shepherd (dad) and Belgian Malinois (mom). Both of these breeds are very high energy dogs that require a lot of exercise of both their bodies and minds, along with obedience training, ongoing socialization and direction. It is imperative that you have the time, everyday, to work with them on their training and can meet their exercise needs. We will only consider adopters that have prior experience with working line dogs. 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.
Bellair
ADOPTED 11/27/2019!
Good With Kids: Older Kids Only
Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Bellair made her way to us from a shelter where she had been surrendered, for reasons unknown. She is new to us, so we are just getting to know her. We know that she prefers the company of male dogs over female dogs. She needs training, consistency and a schedule. Without this she has no idea what her new family expects of her, it is your job to guide and teach her. She is a pretty petite girl, which will make it easier for leash walks.
Updates:We've gotten to know Bellair a bit more since she's been with us. What a pleasure this lady is to work with; it is apparent that she likes to work. She seems to know so many commands but quietly tests out the handler as she works. Once she figures out that you mean business, she handles beautifully. Bellair is clearly food motivated and doesn't require much tension on the leash when a redirect is needed. She corrects quickly and responds nicely when given an activity. She loves balls, and will play fetch, then carry the ball around with her. She has excellent behavior at the vet, she is even good about the thermometer. She is easy to leash up, jumps into the car readily and is a very good car rider. We're also told she's quite cuddly, could you see yourself cuddling with Bellair?
Bellair is enjoying life in her foster home. She has great house manners, is housebroken, and crate trained. She loves, loves, loves squeaky toys, treat-filled kongs and daily walks. She has started group obedience training with her foster mom and is learning that squirrels, rabbits, dogs, and cars don’t need to be chased while walking. Her new family will need to continue training, as Bellair has a high drive and will need a strong leader to help her become a good canine citizen. If Bellair sounds like she coudl be a good fit for your family, ask to meet her - she's a sweet lovable gem.
Bebee
ADOPTED 11/23/2019!
Good With Kids: Yes
Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Bebee was surrendered to us as her former person did not have time for her. Due to the lack of time and commitment Bebee was left to do as she wished. A young dog without training, direction, exercise and guidance can find themselves in unsafe situations. Bebee found herself in one those situations when she was hit by car. Luckily she did not sustain serious injuries. She is now in the safety of rescue starting to learn good manners and being properly cared for. Bebee is somewhat nervous meeting new people, but once she is comfortable with you she is a sweetheart. We were told she lived with another dog and cats, and has spent time with a toddler. As she is new to us, we are still learning more about her.
Tyson
ADOPTED 11/23/2019!
Good With Kids: Unknown
Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Tyson is another product of someone getting a dog then not having time for him. Yes dogs need your time, your devotion, your commitment to them for their lifetime. It needs to be a well thought out, realistic decision before getting a pet. Tyson is now looking for the family who has thought their decision through and will commit to him for his lifetime. Yes he needs training and daily exercise. Yes he will try your patience at times and get into things he shouldn’t, but this is where his family comes in. He needs to be taught good manners and he needs obedience training, which his family needs to provide. Be sure you have the time and patience for years to come.
Riley
ADOPTED 11/23/2019!
Good With Kids: Yes
Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Riley’s prior family gave her up after having her for 6 years as they no longer wanted her. As you can imagine losing her family is upsetting. She just arrived in our care so we are taking the time to get to know her better. Riley is hopeful that her next family will commit to her for her lifetime and not just toss her aside. She is over weight, so a diet and exercise are in order. Her beautiful long coat is matted and dirty but she will be enjoying a spa day.
Diesel
ADOPTED 11/17/2019!
Good With Kids: Unknown
Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
This handsome pup has not had the best start in life. He has lived outdoors on a chain, not taught manners, leash skills or training. Thankfully someone got him out of the situation and surrendered him to us. He is one busy boy, he will jump on you, he will mouth you, he will pull you on the leash. But with training, structure and direction he will learn to be well mannered. He is still just a puppy at 8 months old, so expect high energy, playfulness, chewing things and all of the antics that come with having a young dog. You absolutely need the time to provide him with daily exercise and structure, at this age he is no couch potato.
