Apollo
ADOPTED 04/02/2018!
Good With Kids: Unknown
Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Apollo was surrendered to a shelter as his family had never had a German Shepherd before and didn't realize how much time, training and the commitment it takes. Apollo has not been well socialized with people or other dogs, he has not had training or guidance. He is a big boy for his age but still very much a puppy. He jumps up on people, he pulls hard on the leash and he barks at other dogs. With a good training program, guidance from his new family, exercise and ongoing socialization he will be a wonderful family member. Apollo needs a strong commitment from his new family, you must have the time and patience for him.
Ahsoka
ADOPTED 04/01/2018!
Good With Kids: Older kids, over 16
Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
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.
Updates:Ahsoka, formerly known as Maren, unfortunately has been returned as she was too protective of her home. She did not like when visitors came to the home. This can be managed by putting her away in a secure room and/or crate when people come to the home. She will also benefit greatly from a strong leader who will provide appropriate correction and training. She would do best in a home that does not have frequent visitors and with a family that is willing to put her away when visitors do come. She desperately needs someone who will commit to her to help her learn good manners through a good training program.
Ahsoka is doing beautifully in her foster home. She loves her foster dad, who takes her on bike rides/runs, and she's in love with the resident dogs, especially the male. Ahsoka stays focused on her handler and looks to them for guidance, so as long as the handler is in charge, Ahsoka is a happy and well behaved girl. She doesn't much like things that startle her, but corrects quickly and easily from reacting. Ahsoka will still need to be managed properly to ensure success for her and everyone else involved, which is why Ahsoka will only meet those who have prior experience with the breed. Ahsoka has come a long way - she is a happy and confident girl now and is waiting patiently for that special family to pick her. Is that you?
Malakai
ADOPTED 03/31/2018!
Good With Kids: Yes

Malakai came to us as an owner surrender. He was much loved by his previous family which included young children and a female GSD. Malakai can be stand offish when he comes to meeting new people, but give him the chance to sniff you and feel comfortable and he will quickly become your best friend. He has leash manners which results in him pulling quite hard when walking. Our volunteers are working with him but his will need to also be addressed by his new family. Training is so very important, it will help Malakai learn what is expected of him, it will help with socialization along with build a bond with his new family. Ask to meet this handsome boy to see if he is a good fit for your family.
Bently
ADOPTED 03/30/2018!
Good With Kids: Yes, older kids

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.
Chip
ADOPTED 03/29/2018!
Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Meet Chip! Chip is an older gentleman who found himself on hard times after his former family fell ill and could no longer provide for him. He was surrendered to a local shelter. Luckily, for all involved, we were able to provide a caring home in his hour of need. He is now resting comfortably in the home of a very loving and compassionate care giver. Because of his advanced age, Chip is very arthritic, a little unstable on his feet and requires joint medication. A home with no steps is a must and limited non-slip floors are preferred. Currently, we are trying to take a little excess weight off of him. However, even with limited mobility, he manages to get around. Chip loves going for car rides and bonds very quickly to his favorite people. He is very charming and wants nothing more than to be loved and spend quiet time with his favorite people.
