I received an A+ But hey, I'm not just a goofball – I've got some serious house manners too! I'm crate-trained, walk like a champ on leash, and I'm all about those car rides. Plus, I adore kiddos – they're like my favorite playmates! 👶 I'm on the lookout for a forever home where I can be a part of the family and go on all sorts of adventures together. Once we bond, I'll be your trusty sidekick – whether we're exploring the great outdoors or just cuddling up on the couch.

If you love a classic German Shepherd, want to be adored, and have a dog that you are matchmaking a buddy for... you are right where you should be. If you have an idea of what type of dog a German Shepherd is, then you will know Oobie. Take all that classic German Shepherd, sprinkle a bunch of charm on it and give it a real good looking face and you have Oobie. In rescue we avoid saying a dog is a purebred anything, because who knows, but I would bet good money on Oobie being all 100% German Shepherd. This boy comes preloaded with what I like to call the Deluxe Package which includes auto-sit on top of sit on command, down on command, he is fully house trained, is a solid dogs dog and is a gentleman to cats. As you would expect with a German Shepherd, he is loyal, protective, and loves real big! But this isn’t your “watch-dog,” sure he will make you feel protected but he also has the important role of fluff-exterminator in fluffy toys, and trying to out-race trucks on the other side of the fence. He knows one day he will win the fight against all the fluff and someday the truck will be too slow. Until then he carries on! Oobie has been fortunate to be in a foster home where he quickly fit right in. He easily integrated into a pack of 8 dogs, found his favorite spot where he sleeps all night with no accidents or disturbances, and showed the resident cats, yes multiple, that he may be big but he is big-friend. The only thing he isn’t too sure about is the lawn mower and edger, but he has agreed to only bark from a distance a couple times then go back to loving and lounging. A dream home for Oobie would include room to roam, he loves the freedom and feels obviously proud of his role as a dog with a home and people to keep company and care for. His current foster is a retired couple and we can all see how much Oobie glows living the home life with someone everyday. A homebody, with a bit of land they want kept an eye on, while being adored deeply by a dog is our idea of Oobie’s ideal match. If you happen to be familiar with German Shepherds and they way they “work,” that would be a double-cherry on top of perfection! Other dogs are not needed but if you have them Oobie will be an easy companion. A little insight into Oobie’s role at the rescue before he was with his foster- Oobie was what we call an Assessment dog. This is basically a gold star in the 3LP world, a dog that is so stable and consistent he is used to gauge an in-coming dogs personality towards other dogs. Inviting if they were friendly, neutral if they were unsure, aloof and avoidant if the dog shows signs of being aggressive. Oobie has helped save hundreds of dogs by being such a stable, non-conflict dog. He carved out a huge space in the heart of everyone at the rescue and if we start awarding dogs with our version of a Medal of Honor, we have discussed naming it an Oobie Service award. If you are looking for an amazing dog to add to your pack and/or a loyal and adoring companion to have by your side- Oobie is perfection! If there are any details we didn’t cover or you have questions about the adoption process, let us know! Oobie is available for Greater Houston meet & greets! We are willing to test Oobie with anything you need us to in order to ensure he is the perfect match for you!

🐾 Hello!! 🐾 I'm Gordo "Puppy" Padilla, a beautiful 2-year-old Brindle Shepherd-Pit mix with a heart full of love. I am a rescue, so exact age and breed cannot be guaranteed! I'm gentle and sweet, and every day I'm getting more and more confident. I'm new to leash training, but I'm a very smart boy eager to learn and making great progress with crate training in my foster home. I get along well with other dogs and would love a sibling to play with 🌟 I’m not always my best self with cats. I really like kids but because of my size I would do best playing with older children (5+) and would make a great family dog! When we’re in the house together, I love snuggles and scritches! I’m a super affectionate guy, and physical touch is my love language. My foster mom has house trained me, and I don’t have any accidents in her house! One of my absolute favourite activities is playing with my ball—I'm a fetch superstar! I simply love the water, whether it's swimming, running through sprinklers, or splashing in puddles—these are my absolute favourites. I'd be over the moon to have a fenced yard of my own to play in. I'm very smart and eager to learn, making me a great candidate for daily routines and training. I love treats, and my foster mom even gives me ice cream sometimes! I'd also love to go to the beach with you, learn to paddleboard, or embark on any adventure together! I can't wait to meet you and become the playful, loving addition to your family! 🐾 If you're looking for a loyal and loving companion who enjoys fetch and water play, Gordo is the perfect match. We are willing to test this dog with anything you need us to in order to ensure she’s the perfect match for you! We can make anything happen! Just let us know.
