Story
Meet Coal! Weight: 43 lbs This young pup is ready to find his forever home! Coal is your typical teenager who is working on his puppy-like manners, and leash walking. He is very food motivated and eager to learn! Coal in his spare time likes to play with canine friends, playing fetch and chasing sticks and leaves! He can be a little anxious in new places at first but once he settles down, his previous family says he`s the best boy! He does well in his crate when left alone, and is happy to sleep in his crate, or snuggle up in bed! Coal loves people of all ages and has lived with kiddos as young as 9 and we`d like him to meet all his potential kiddo siblings prior to going home! Coal has not lived with dogs, but had routine canine friends he`d play with, and has met a couple friends here and have done wonderful and we believe he`d do great with dogs in home, and we ask that any canine friends tag along for any meet and greets. Coal has lived with feline friends and did well, he was a typical puppy but would respect their boundaries when asked! If you think this guy would be a good fit for your home, please come in and meet him!

She originally came to us as a stray and then was adopted shortly after but recently found her way back to us. Ping is looking for an active home, that is eager to help her with her both with her physical and mental sides. Ping is exceptionally smart, and needs lots of outlets or can get frustrated. She also loves to be outside - Ping is looking for a home with large amounts of area to explore outside and stretch her legs, Ping asks for no apartments please! Ping is looking for a family and doesn`t have a problem with ages of people big or small - but we do want Pings whole new family to come in and meet her! Ping is looking for a home with no felines but may do well with a very confident, well rounded canine friend - so please have any canine friends tag along! Pings team here at GAHS are excited to tell her adopters that thanks to generous donors - Ping has 6 private training lessons with one of our local trainers here for post adoption, so exciting!

Meet Acorn! Weight: 43.1 lbThis goofball came to us locally after being found as a stray, and she quickly won us over here. She`s been wonderful, she is a great companion and LOVES attention. Acorn has been a big fan of wowing us with her tricks - she knows, sit, down and paw and is very eager to learn more and loves her treats. Acorn has made a couple canine friends here, and we`d like her to meet any potential canine siblings prior to going home, she`s asking for a feline free household and we`d like her to meet any kiddo siblings, and feels she`d do best with kiddos 8+! We`re very excited for Acorn to find her home, and be the goofy dog she deserves to be!

Meet Fallon! Weight: 67 lbs This lovely gal is eager to find her forever home. Fallon has a lot of amazing characteristics - she is an amazing walking partner, and is just eager to smell the flowers. She loves spending time outside, and inside and would love to find a middle ground home where the active needs and the attention are all met. Fallon is looking to be only pet in home, but don`t worry she doesn`t mind seeing canine friends on walks or out and about she just would prefer to keep her distance. Fallon would love a home with lots of attention, and is looking for a home with no young kiddos, 14+ please! We`d like Fallon to meet her whole family prior to going home.

Meet Caramel!! Weight: 74 lbs Are looking for a hound to join you in your singalongs? A hiking/outdoor adventure partner? Them Caramel is your gal! Caramel can be a little nervous when meeting new people but she quickly warms up, she likes to get a few sniffs in, and some bays to communicate that with you. She’s a big fan of extra large tennis balls, not the small ones - and yes Caramel knows the difference. Caramel is looking for a home to offer her lots of enrichment outside, with lots of countryside to roam - and would prefer to be outside city limits (Caramel and your neighbors will thank you.) Caramel is looking for a feline free home, but wouldn’t mind some canine companions to romp around with, this gals goofy play style is super funny to watch. She has been around kiddos 12+ and think this is a great age range to keep up with her activity level and size, we ask that the entire family meet Caramel so she feels super confident with everyone before she joins her new home. If you think this gal would be a good addition to your home, please come in and meet her - you won’t regret it!

Story
Meet Gus!! Weight: 111 lbsIs handsome and beefy your type??? Then look no further, Gus fits that description! Gus is seeking for an adult-only home where he can spread his joyous personality all around. Gus is such a happy dog and greets everyone with butt wiggles and smiles. Gus` favorite past time is playing fetch, and going for lots of walks. He`d love a home that would want to help him a little bit on his weight loss journey! Gus is also looking to be the only dog in home, he wouldn`t mind having some meet ups with some canine friends outside of home where they go walking/hiking together and other fun on-leash activities! Gus may do well with a dog-savvy cat, cats that are very confident with large sized dogs. Our team will be happy to discuss slow, proper introductions with Gus and any potential feline residents. If you`re looking for your perfect snuggle bug (just in time for this winter, and all the winters after that) Please consider Gus, and welcoming him into your home. He looks forward to meeting you!
