Story
Meet Ping!Weight: 60 lbs This fantastic pup is ready to land into her forever home! Ping is a very hyper active, estimated to be around a year old girl! 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! If you think you have the space for our sweet Ping Pong, please come in and meet her!

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 animal 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 would also prefer a feline free home. 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!

Story
Meet Duke!Weight: 87 lbs Large and in charge Mr. Duke is ready to find his match, Duke made his way to us due to no fault of his own and is such a good boy! Duke is looking for an active household, one that wants a canine friend to tag along on all the outside adventures. Duke can be a little nervous at first but quickly warms up and is very food motivated. Duke knows sit, paw and down and walks great on leash. A home outside of city limits and in a more quiet rural-like area would be best for Mr. Duke! Duke has lived with other dogs before and did well and we`d want him to meet all canine siblings prior to going home, he`s also lived with felines (1-2) before and chickens (that were couped up) and did fine. Duke would be best fit with teenagers and in a lower foot traffic household, our staff will be happy to discuss introductions with Duke and feline/canine friends in home, to help set everyone up for success! Duke looks forward to meeting you!

Story
Meet Gomez! Weight: 85 lbs This boy is eager to find his forever home, Gomez is a smart guy. He will gladly show off all his tricks in exchange for a tennis ball or treats. Gomez would be an excellent addition to a family looking for a companion to take on lots of walks, and be outside with. He walks great on leash, and loves lots of attention and will play fetch for hours.Gomez is looking to be the only animal in home, although - if you have friends or family with dogs doing on leash activities like hiking, walking/running would be fun, Gomez just isn`t interested in all that off leash wrestling and engagement. We`d like Gomez to meet his whole family prior to going home, including any kiddos who live in home or are frequent flyers - due to his size and energy we believe he`d be best paired with kiddos who are 10+.If you think this handsome gentleman would be a good fit, please come in and meet him!
