*URGENT HELP NEEDED* LOCATION OF DOGS: Dallas, GA NAME: Tiller AGE: 7 WEIGHT: 84lbs BREED OR MIX: German Shepherd NEUTERED: yes NAME: Layla AGE: 6 WEIGHT: 70lbs BREED OR MIX: German Shepherd (wire haired) SPAYED: yes BOTH: VACCINATED: rabies vaccine and heart worm test most recent August 2023 GOOD WITH KIDS: Yes ( slow introduction ) current human siblings age 2 and 9. Tiller is a jumper, Layla is a kiss giver. GOOD WITH OTHER DOGS: not socialized with other dogs besides one another. Layla is skittish, and can appear aggressive but I have never witnessed her attack or bite another dog. GOOD WITH CATS: no is the safe answer, I have not experienced anything, but would assume any small pets would need to be worked with on introduction. They both have retrieved small “visitors” they find in our yard. ARE YOU OPEN TO A RESCUE TAKING YOUR DOG: Yes, this is THE most ideal scenario ( we would prefer they stay together at all cost 🤞🏻) They show signs of separation anxiety even when

Story
I found indi a shelter about 3 years ago. She developed type one diabetes about a year into having her and its been inexpensive to manage. Her insulin costs less than 25 dollars and she has no problems receiving her shots daily. She is extremely sweet and chill. She doesn’t bark or jump at guests. She does great around cats and kids. I need to rehome her due to my partner having health issues come up recently.

Bear is an amazing dog he's very unique and funny but he isn't great with small children he's a bit reactive but he's great with dogs he has lots of energy i dont really have time to help run it out and he gets anxiety when left alone for a long period and will chew your comforter.

Story
Finn loves to play and is happiest when is doing that or greeting you back home. He is good with kids preteen and older. Favorite pastime is naps and looking out the window. He is crate and house trained, and a good night sleeper as well. Ideally, a fenced yard or somewhere with space to run would be good for him, or even someone who loves the outdoors to take him along for runs, walks or hikes. Very sweet dog who loves to love! ❤️ Large crate and toys will come with him.

Story
Personality - She is quiet and cuddly, mostly a couch potato, but she's also athletic and loves fetch, command training, and walks. Care - She sits for teeth brushing, trimming nails, and cleaning ears. She is healthy and a good weight for her breed/size. History - She grew up on a farm, so loud noises, buses, trash truck, make her nervous. She is working on confidence. She was once a mom dog and is spayed and up to date on all vaccinations. She is a wonderful, smart, and happy dog. Toddlers/young children give her some anxiety, so it's best she has a young child-free home. *Adoption Fee will be a confirmed Mostly Mutts or ATL Lab Rescue Donation*
