Description

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.

Updates:
Nikia is settling in great to her foster home.  Her foster parents report that Nikia is a delighful dog. She loves to ride in the car and just look out the window. She walks beautifully on a leash with minimal correction ("back") to keep her from walking out front and pulling. Nikia doesn't lunge or bark at people, other dogs, or anything else - just perks her ears up and shows interest but stays quietly by handler's side. Nikia is calm around small children - she perks perked up her ears and sits nicely to watch.  Nikia loves tennis balls and tends to hoard them, so attention to taking those away when not supervised is necessary.  Nikia likes bully sticks too.  Nikia will only play with a toy if it is specifically given to her for play.  Nikia stays off the furniture unless given permission.  Nikia follows her humans around the house.  If Nikia sounds like a good fit for your family, ask to meet her today. , Nikia's playful nature is coming out now that she is getting more secure in her environment. She loves to ride in the car and go for walks and loves to play. She knows some basic obedience commands and is quite food motivated. Crate trained. Goes right into the crate to eat and when she wants some down time. She waits patiently by the front door and pants or softly whines when she needs to go out to relieve herself. She comes when called when she is off leash. She is very social and friendly but never jumps up on people. When she is really excited she does these little leaps in the air but not onto anyone or anything, just leaps a little bit in her own space. She is very teachable. Has already learned "back" when I want her to get behind me so I can go out the door first.

Chases person loves him very much but sadly was not able to care for him.   Wanting him to find the best possible home she surrendered him to our care.  He is very much a puppy and will chew on things he shouldn't,  he is full of puppy energy and antics and needs to learn good canine manners.  Training is of course necessary and required, it will not only teach Chase good manners, but also helps build bond with his new family.  Puppies are a lot of work and take time and patience.  Please be sure you are able to commit to Chase and his needs for his lifetime.

Arko

Ideal/Potential Size:

Housebroken: Yes

Obedience Trained: Partially

Living with: Foster

History: Owner Surrender

Good with Kids: Yes

Good with Cats: Unknown

Description

Arko was surrendered as his person has a disability that kept  her from providing him with proper exercise.  He is a high energy boy who loves to play fetch and requires daily exercise to  keep his energy in check.  He is a friendly boy that enjoys spending time with his family and he is good with other dogs.  He has had some training, but will require further training with his new family.  When he gets overly excited he can become mouthy, not applying pressure or biting, but for this reason we feel it's best he not be in a home with a younger children.

Description

Ozzie's former person took ill and was no longer able to care for  him.  He was brought to the VA area by a family member and is now in our care looking for his forever family.  Ozzie is a very big boy at 94 lbs  He has undergone formal training but will require further training with his new family.  He has not lived with dogs before but did well meeting another German Shepherd during our evaluation.  Ozzie does have the tendency to herd (nip at) children, for this reason we feel it is best that he not be placed in a home with young children.  A boy of this size can be intimating to small children and he could also accidentally knock them down.  For the most past Ozzie's former person exercised Ozzie on daily 2 mile walks and lots of games of fetch.  Daily exercise is key to  keep energy in check, so please be sure you have the time to commit to his exercise needs, training and of course a lifetime of love and care.
