Meet Oso!
Oso is an 8.5-month-old black and tan male GSD who weighs 55 lbs.
Still being a puppy, he is very high energy so he will do best in an active home where he can get daily vigorous exercise, like running, swimming, hiking. He'd do well at dog sports like agility.
Oso gets along with large dogs, but he has a strong prey drive. He needs a home without cats or other small animals. A home with another large dog is a best fit.
Oso loves people and likes to be wherever his people are. However, he can get very excited, and he jumps when meeting people, he responds to correction but will need someone who can continue his training and give him structure.
Oso knows some basic commands – sit, stay, paw, come. He likes to play fetch with tennis balls and he loves playing with his soccer ball. He is great in the car and settles down quickly. Even on a 3 hour drive he was relaxed and quiet. He is strong and can pull on the leash but responds well to correction.
Since he is still very much a puppy, he can be mouthy when playing. A home with older children would be a best fit.
He is crate trained and sleeps in his crate, however he needs to work on going in his crate during the day when his foster family leaves home.
Overall, Oso is a very loving companion who has a lot of potential. With regular exercise, and continued training and structure to help with his manners, he'll be an amazing dog.
Meet Emma!
Emma is 12 years old and is looking for a place to spend her golden years. She has started her slow kill heartworm treatment and is doing OK with it.
She doesn't like loud noises; she prefers a quiet home. Due to this, a home without small children might be a best fit for her.
Emma will need a calm, happy, and confident (in her place within the home) dog to live with. A dog her same age and activity level will work best. She's going to do best in a home with a canine companion. Emma is also indifferent to cats. A home with or without cats would be fine for her.
Welcome Jax - More details to come!
Jax is a 3 year old male white GSD. He is up-to-date on vet care and vaccines. We feel he will do best with an experienced owner. Check back soon for more details!
Meet Jett!
Jett is 4 years old. He's easygoing with a medium energy level, and likes other dogs. He is crate trained and housebroken.
Jett is very affectionate and loves to give hugs. He loves people and would do well in a home with kids.
He's treat motivated and loves snacks like cheese and pizza. He does need some work walking on a leash.
Although he likes other dogs, we are not sure about his behavior with cats.

Updates on New Rescue Dogs
We have several dogs in our foster network. These dogs will not appear on our site until their health problems are resolved. Foster parents are also still learning their personalities. Foster parents determine when a dog is ready for adoption.
