Story
Bert is a 7 year old German Shepard/ blue heeler mix! He is full of energy but also enjoys his time relaxing. We are looking to rehome him as we recently have had a kid and he has not adjusted well to a baby walking around. We currently have two other larger dogs who he gets along with well but he is sometimes slow getting used to other dogs but we have had no issues with biting in the past! He also should not have a home with younger children as he is afraid of them. He is a very sweet dog when not around children and loves to be outdoors so a house with a fence would be ideal.

Story
🐾 Meet Courtney! 🐾Are you looking for a loyal companion to join your farm family? Look no further, because Courtney is ready to melt your heart and become your forever friend!This beautiful three-year-old Australian Kelpie mix has had quite the journey before landing in our shelter. Courtney was discovered in a barn, bravely caring for her precious puppies. Now that her puppies have all found loving homes, Courtney is eagerly awaiting her turn to find a family to call her own.Courtney is a spirited and energetic girl with a heart as big as the open fields. She has a natural instinct to explore and would thrive in a farm environment where she can stretch her legs and let her curious nature roam. However, her boundless energy comes with a caveat – Courtney is a bit of an escape artist and can jump up to six feet in the air! That's why she's looking for a home with a high fence or the ability to train boundaries and recall where she can safely learn to channel her athleticism into positive activities.While Courtney may be a bit reserved at first, once you earn her trust, you'll discover her sweet and affectionate nature. Building that trust may take some time, so we recommend visits to the shelter to spend time with her and let her get to know you. Once she opens up, you'll be rewarded with a loyal and loving companion who will always be by your side.Courtney is longing for a patient and understanding family who can provide her with the love, guidance, and structure she needs to thrive. If you're ready to open your heart and home to this special girl, come meet Courtney today and see if she's the perfect fit for your farm family!🌟 Adoption Information 🌟Name: CourtneyBreed: Australian Kelpie MixAge: 3 years oldPersonality: Energetic, sweet, and loyalIdeal Home: Farm with a high fence and patient familySpecial Requirements: Multiple visits to the shelter to build trustLet's give Courtney the loving home she deserves!

Story
🐾 Meet Duke! 🐾This adorable 5-year-old Terrier is searching for his forever home! Duke is a stunning black and white dog with an affectionate and playful personality. He’s ready to find a loving family who can give him the time and attention he deserves.About Duke:Age: 5 yearsTemperament: Playful and cuddly, Duke loves to be around people. Duke thrives in an environment where he can play and run freely without being crated most of the day.Good with Dogs and Cats: NoGood with Children: Yes, but due to size older children are best.Housebroken: YesWhy Duke Needs a New Home:Duke was adopted as a puppy from the shelter, but was left with his last owner by a previous partner, and due to work schedules, he spent much of his time crated. He would be happiest in a home where he can be more active and have a dedicated routine for playtime and exercise.Additional Information:Duke is up-to-date on his vaccines, including rabies and distemper, and he is microchipped.He would benefit from a family that can be around more often and love, cuddle and socialize him properly.Ideal Home for Duke:Duke would do best with an active family who has the time to work with him on training (if needed) and can provide a lot of love and exercise. A home WITHOUT other pets is a must due to a lack of socialization around other animals.If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will always be there to greet you with a wagging tail and lots of love, Duke is the perfect match for you!Let’s find Duke a home where he can be happy and loved! ❤️Duke is having a pretty hard time at the shelter being in a cage almost all day. He is a great dog but he needs somewhere where he can run around safely. He LOVES people without a doubt. He could be the perfect companion for a single person are even a family but he would have to be the only dogAn adoption application can be filled out on the DHS website https://www.dekalbhumanesociety.org/adopt.

Story
Hey there, I’m Athena, a terrier mix with a bit of a tough past. To be honest, I didn’t come in as the friendliest dog on the block. I was terrified and pretty defensive—after being tossed out of a car, I think anyone would be! It took weeks of treats and lots of patience for me to even let the "dog person" get close enough to help me out of my cage. But now that I know they mean well, I’m letting my guard down, little by little.I’ll be real with you—I’m still on edge around new people. I might growl or bark if someone gets too close too fast, so I’m looking for a person who really gets dogs like me. Someone who understands that I need time, understanding, and probably a bit of training to feel safe. If you’re experienced with dogs who need a little extra care, I know I could be the right fit for you. No, I’m not perfect, no dog is, but I’ve got so much love to give if you’re willing to give me a chance. With the right person by my side, I believe I can be an amazing, loyal companion.An adoption application can be filled out on the DHS website https://www.dekalbhumanesociety.org/adopt.
