Story
Gator has been part of our family since 2021, after first spending time in foster care before we adopted him. He is a loving, high-energy dog who thrives on attention, activity, and time with his people. Gator absolutely loves his ball, toys, and being with his family. He has a big personality and would do best in a home where he can get plenty of exercise, engagement, and one-on-one attention. This has been a very difficult decision for us, but due to personal circumstances, including the time and expense required to meet his needs, we feel Gator would be happiest in a home that can dedicate more time and energy to him. We are hoping to find Gator a loving family or individual who understands high-energy dogs and can give him the active, attentive home he deserves.

Story
Mariner is a 6-month-old Belgian Malinois who’s as smart as they come, but with a calmer, more easygoing temperament. She’s eager to learn, loves to please, and thrives on positive reinforcement and routine. Unlike the high-octane Malinois you often hear about, Mariner has a moderate drive — she enjoys activity, playtime, and mental challenges, but also knows how to relax and settle down when it’s time. She would be a perfect fit for a family experienced with working breeds or one that understands the Malinois’ need for structure, consistency, and engagement. With regular training and a “job” to do, whether that’s obedience work, hiking buddy, or canine sports, Mariner will shine. If you’re looking for a smart, loving, and steady Malinois to grow with your family, Mariner might just be your perfect match! She will be around 50 pounds as an adult and is crate trained. All our dogs/pups are spayed/neutered and microchipped prior to adoption. They have been dewormed and are current on vaccinations. Our adoption fee includes 30 days of complimentary medical insurance for your new pet. Breed and size is frequently a guess and can not be guaranteed. Our dogs are fostered on a private residence, we do not have a free standing shelter. They live on a farm where they run and play with other dogs, cats, horses, and barnyard fowl. Initial contact with us must be made through e-mail. E-mail ARFofMercer@gmail.com directly for an adoption application or with any questionsg. Once your adoption application is approved, you will be invited to meet our dogs/puppies.

These pups are in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania too!

German Shepherd Dog

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Good with kids, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Max is a wonderful, well-rounded boy who is ready to find a loving home where he can thrive. After spending four years with his previous family, he’s now looking for a fresh start due to changes in their living situation—and he’s bringing so much love, personality, and training with him! Max is an easygoing companion who walks nicely on leash, enjoying time to stop and sniff along the way. He’s gentle when taking treats, loves staying close to his people, and already knows an impressive list of commands including sit, down, stay, wait, place, heel, drop it, and leave it. His intelligence and eagerness to engage make him a joy to work with and a great candidate for continued training and bonding. This playful boy absolutely loves toys—especially tennis balls! He’s happiest when playing fetch, chewing on a favorite toy, or exploring the outdoors. Max also enjoys enrichment like puzzle toys and Kongs, keeping both his body and mind active. While he may be a little shy when first meeting new people, Max warms up quickly and shows his affectionate, wiggly side—he even loves belly rubs once he feels comfortable. He has lived with adults and young children and has shown he can be a gentle and loving companion in the home. Max is crate trained and used to a home environment, and while he may need a little support with house training, he’s already familiar with routines like using puppy pads. With consistency and patience, he’s sure to settle in beautifully. If you’re looking for a smart, playful, and loyal companion who will keep you active and make you smile every day, Max might just be your perfect match. He’s ready to be someone’s best friend—could it be you?

I got him from the womens animal center. He is 4 years old. He is a big dog that needs a big yard and space for him to run. He needs alot of attention. He is a very loving and playful dog. He gets very excited when he sees people he loves. I would love for him to have a great home with a loving family that would take him in as one of their own.
