Macy

German Shepherd Dog Cattle Dog

Female, Adult

Louisville, KY

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Macy is a stunning 6 ish year old German Shepherd x Cattle Dog mix. Macy was part of a litter born to a semi-feral Shepherd in rural Kentucky. Macy has spent her entire life bouncing around foster homes after being trapped as a 5 month old pup - although her siblings and mother were adopted years ago Macy has continued to linger in rescue. Macy is extremely affectionate with people she knows but despite being a house-dog her entire live Macy is still very skittish and shy with new people. Macy has great house manners and is very routine oriented but prefers her routine to include more hiking and less cuddling. Unless it is belly rubs in which case she will always accept those. Macy has slowly expanded her social circle over the years with various foster homes and volunteer outings and does tolerate the trappings of domestic dog live pretty well. However, she is not the sort of dog that declares love at first meeting and she still makes new people work for her trust. She is well worth the work as she is just an amazingly smart and sweet girl. Macy does not do well with children under 10 ish years of age - she finds them very in need of herding. Macy does phenomenal with other dogs and is very dog social. She loves to romp and run in the yard with other dogs and is a very appropriate communicator with the younger dogs. Macy takes a lot of her social cues from other dogs and does best when she has a steady, confident dog to follow. Macy has lived with cats at various times and does well with both indoor and outdoor cats. She does sometimes try to herd a new to her cat but is easily redirected and respects the boundaries once they are set. Macy is a sweet soul that is looking for a loving home that will appreciate her quirky, slightly-feral ways and give her the stability she needs to adjust and trust a new home. If you have a place in your heart and home for Macy please email Tierhavenrescue@gmail.com for an adoption application or visit Tierhaven.rescuegroups.org for more information.

Zoey

German Shepherd Dog

Female, Young

Louisville, KY

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Zoey is a beautiful young sable German Shepherd female estimated around 3 years of age. Zoey was a stray and we unfortunately do not know her history but Zoey is happily looking forward to having a family of her own. Zoey is a playful and rambunctious young girl. Her favorite activities include playing in muddy ponds, getting all the love, and inappropriately barking at unknown dogs and people. Zoey is learning how to navigate the world and make new human friends. While Zoey can be a very friendly and social girl she is at a critical point in her life known as the 'fear period' and can struggle with reactivity when meeting new people. It is extremely important that Zoey have a confident, experienced, handler that can compassionately guide her through the safe socialization she needs in order to learn how to navigate the world kindly. Zoey is very much a puppy and while eager to please she is still figuring out what is expected of her and how to rise to those expectations. Zoey has been great meeting volunteers with the guidance of her foster home and with those she knows is a very loving, playful girl. She has enjoyed going on hikes around private property and exploring ponds and mud puddles. Zoey is an active and athletic girl who is going to require ongoing exercise and structure to ensure her growth into a well rounded adult Shepherd. Zoey would be a great running companion, hiking buddy, and would likely excel in a number of dog sports. Zoey is NOT suitable for a home with children at this time. Zoey is still figuring out other dogs and how to interact in a polite manner. Zoey can be very vocal when she meets new dogs and was defensive with other dogs when she arrived at her foster home. She has since settled in and is able to enjoy playgroups with other young Shepherds as well as group hikes. Zoey is slowly figuring out that she can play appropriately and doing a great job. Zoey will require ongoing structured socialization and guidance to maintain her progress as she is at an age of development where her socialization both in and out of the house is vital. Zoey is NOT friendly with cats or small dogs as she has shown a very high prey drive with both. Zoey is a young, eager to please, and outgoing Shepherd who is searching for an active, loving, and adventurous home to give her the guidance and love she needs to grow into an even more wonderful companion. If you're the home for Zoey please email Tierhavenrescue@gmail.com for an adoption application or visit tierhaven.rescuegroups.org for FAQsVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 25, 2024, 12:15 am

Crystal Symphony

English Shepherd German Shepherd Dog

Female, Adult

Louisville, KY

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Crystal Symphony is a beautiful female estimated around 5-6 years of age. She was found as a stray and has an unknown background. Her conformation and personality speak to a possible English Shepherd pedigree but that is a question we will never really know the answer to. Crystal is a great girl who is a volunteer favorite for her loyal nature and fun personality. Crystal draws a tight circle around her heart and takes a bit to warm up to the idea of new friends but once you're in it is for life. Crystal loves her people and you couldn't ask for a more attentive, eager to please dog. Crystal is best described as 'gamey' which is to say she sees nearly everything as a fun game and is always looking for something to get into. Crystal can easily jump a 4 ft fence and happily does so to switch play groups at her foster home. She is an athletic and energetic girl who will need either leash walked or a solid fence to ensure her safety. Crystal is not comfortable around children and would prefer a home without kids. Crystal is around other dogs in her foster home and does very well. She has a bossy personality and likes to try to round up the other dogs but they tolerate her well. She has a few that she enjoys roughhousing with and overall seems to have a good understanding of dog social manners. Crystal is well mannered and quiet when meeting new dogs while out on walks. Crystal has met some GSD puppies around 10 lbs and thought they were strange little playmates but ultimately did great with them. Crystal is NOT cat friendly. Crystal is an active and adventurous Shepherd who is looking for a family that will help her learn to trust the world and show her all the fun sides of life. If you're the home for Crystal Symphony please email Tierhavenrescue@gmail.com for an adoption application or visit our website, Tierhaven.rescuegroups.org to view our adoption process and fee.

Layla

German Shepherd Dog

Female, Adult

Louisville, KY

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Layla is a stunning female German Shepherd who is estimated around 5 years of age. Layla was a stray therefore we do not know her history or background prior to arrival at the shelter. Layla is a fun girl who doesn't seem to understand the purpose of humans outside of meal times. She is aloof and generally seems to not understand why the other dogs would bother with human attention - after all humans are only good for their opposable thumbs. Layla defaults to ignoring people unless solicited for attention in which case she is happy to entertain her adoring fans. Layla has a diva energy about her and definitely thinks she runs the shows sometimes. Layla does not typically seek attention or playtime and prefers to chill out and do her own thing. Layla has had very limited interactions with children at this time but has done well with the few she has met. Layla is fostering with other dogs and enjoys being the bossy supervisor of anything they do. She tends to ignore the dogs 98% of the time but in the instance that she catches them playing or being too energetic she is quick to be the fun police. Her version of fun is being the fun police it seems and most dogs do not appreciate her reprimands. She gets along well with the more laid back dogs and those that tolerate her controlling nature. She would likely prefer being an only dog or with older, laid back, dogs. Layla is not good with cats or small dogs. Layla is a beautiful girl who is looking for a patient home that will guide her in becoming a loved family member. If you're the home for Layla please email Tierhavenrescue@gmail.com or visit Tierhaven.rescuegroups.org for FAQsVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 25, 2024, 12:15 am

German Shepherd Dog

Louisville, KY

Size

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

Details

Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Thumper is a handsome male German Shepherd estimated around 5 years of age. He was a stray so we do not know his history prior to arrival at the shelter. Thumper is an absolute sweetheart and is extremely friendly with new people. He is a well mannered guy and is very appropriate asking for affection. He loves to have his chest scratched which is how he got his name - he will thump his back leg during chest scratches. Thumper enjoys going on walks and seems to have an okay understanding of leash manners. He is also house trained and great in his crate. Overall, he seems to have experience as a house dog and enjoys being part of things. He has not been around children at this time but would likely do okay with them. Thumper gets a bit excited with the other dogs but is overall appropriate. He is a large boy so he can be a bit intimidating and he wants to go straight to playing which not every dog appreciates. He has been able to make some friends in his foster home to play with though and is happy for that. He has not been around small dogs or cats at this time. Thumper does have Heartworm and has begun slow kill treatment (Doxycycline and Ivermectin) for this. We are happy to discuss heartworm, treatment options, and ongoing care needs with you. Thumper is an awesome dude that is looking for a loving home to call his own.
