Story
Gershwin is a 7-year-old neutered male German Shepherd, pure bred, looking for the right home. He is a sweet, sesitive dog who bonds deeply to his people and thrives in a structured, predictable environment. He is currently in training at B.A.R.K Institute, where we are working on building his confidence and improving impulse control. Why is Gershwin available for adoption? He has had two incidents where unfamiliar people entered his space, home unexpectedly and due to his anxiety his reaction was two minor bite incidents-in these scenarios,neither required medical treatment,but they are considered a bite history nonetheless. He is currently on medication to support his anxiety and his owners opted not to discontinue medication before sending him to training. Ideal Home: *Experienced dog owner (German Shepherd experience preferred) *Calm,structured household *someone confortable with management (crate/place,controlled introductions) *Adult0only home or older, dog-savvy children Gershwin is a loyal, thoughtful dog who will do best with someone who understands his nature and is willing to provide clear leadership and structure. If you are interested in learning more or think you may be a good fit, please reach out. We are committed to finding him the right home.

We generally do not have much background info on them and cannot guarantee they are housebroken.  They are all up to date on vaccines, spayed/neutered and microchipped  Meet Phoenix  We think this cool girl is a mix of Australian Cattle Dog and Doberman Pinscher - which basically means brains, beauty, and boundless energy all wrapped up in one sleek 37-lb package. At just 11 months old, Phoenix is the perfect medium size and still very much a fun-loving pup. She LOVES her people. Like…your-new-shadow, biggest-fan, ride-or-die energy.  She’s smart, eager to please, and would absolutely thrive with someone active who wants a true companion for walks, hikes, adventures, and maybe even some fun training goals. Phoenix is looking for: • A fenced yard for zoomies and playtime • A commitment to obedience classes (she’s ready to learn and shine!) • An active home that will channel her energy into becoming the best canine citizen she can be If you’re searching for an energetic, loyal BFF who will keep life interesting and full of love, Phoenix is your girl.
