Meet Sadie, the Ultimate Fetch Champion! 🐾!

Are you ready to welcome a bundle of joy and energy into your home? Sadie a sweet 9-month-old sable German Shepherd foster, is looking for her forever home! Minimum requirements: balls, space, fun, and love! 

This playful pup is a tennis ball aficionado and can spend hours chasing after them. Her intelligence shines through in her quick learning and love for interactive games.

Sadie gets along great with other dogs, though she's not overly social, especially when playing fetch is involved. Her entire focus is on the ball and nothing can get in her way. She prefers to keep her circle small but is always friendly and respectful. She gets a lot of compliments in the dog park, oh yes she is a pretty girl! While she might be a bit shy around new people, her gentle nature and loving heart will win you over in no time. With a little patience and lots of love, Sadie will become your most loyal friend. If she is not chasing balls, she loves a good chest rub and a cuddle. 

An athlete at heart, Sadie thrives in an active environment. While she does well in a crate, she’s got FOMO if she’s not close to you, and she’s always ready to play! She would love a home where she can run, play, and explore to her heart's content.  Sadie has  not  lived with  children, and behavior  around  cats  is  unknown. Her boundless energy and enthusiasm make her the perfect match for an active household who can keep up with her playful spirit.

 Sadie is incredibly smart, a fast learner, and a great listener. She always goes the extra mile to please her humans and is eager to learn new tricks and commands. Her ideal home would be one where she can continue to grow and learn, surrounded by love and activity. Wherever she goes next, they will be lucky to have such a wonderful companion. 

Meet Jack!

Two year old Jack is very sweet, with a gentle demeanor, who loves bones and stuffed toys. He's not a fan of table food, but does love meat! Jack does well on a leash and is  good in his crate. He's  been around  kids age 6 and up and  does  fine.

Jack is dog friendly and loves to play. His  behavior  with  cats  is  unknown.

He rides well in the car and alerts when someone is at your home or driveway. Jack loves chasing bumblebees too! His energy is medium, he knows when it’s time to play and when it’s time to relax. Jack  needs a  home  where he  can  get regular moderate exercise.  

Jack is neutered and ready for his forever home!

Meet Joey-Adoption Pending!

Handsome boy Joey is six-plus months old. He  is a tripod but  gets around  fine.  He is getting stronger but seems to prefer short walks and short games of fetch so far.  

He's incredibly social and loves meeting people and other dogs. He is in the puppy mouthy phase so older kids  would be the best fit.

He may do well in a house with another medium/large dog who matches his activity level would be the best fit. Joey is not a fan of cats.  

Meet Ruger - Adoption Pending!

  • Born August 7th

  • About 10 lbs.

  • Received basic vaccines and dewormer

  • Very young so good with cats and dogs, if properly introduced

  • May be mixed with another breed but do look mostly GSD

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.
