Story
Meet Little Bear! This gorgeous German Shepherd is is growing incredibly fast. She is expected to be a large dog (maybe XL!) but is incredibly loving and loves to play with toys. She does a cute little spin when she is excited. In her foster home Little Bear is eager to learn and is working diligently on her potty training. She would love nothing more than to find a family to call her own. LB loves all people and gets along well with her foster siblings too. She will be a large dog so it is recommended that the adopter have experience with the German Shepherd breed. She will need space to run and play so apartment living isn't for her. Little Bear 's Adoption fee is $450 and includes spay, microchip and current vaccinations. To fill out an adoption application, visit https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/SSP-A-1233 To follow Little Bear on his journey to a loving family on SPOT's Facebook page, visit https://facebook.com/spotsavespets/ and on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/spotsavespets/

Story
How this pet arrived: This pet was brought in by their previous owner on January 16, 2025. Why this pet is the one for you:Sophie is a beautiful and intelligent girl. While she may start off a bit shy, with patience and understanding, Sophie will blossom into a loyal and loving companion. She's looking for a calm and quiet environment where she can take her time to feel secure. This smart pup already knows "sit" and is crate trained, making her a quick learner, especially when treats are involved! Sophie thrives with an active family that includes children aged 6 and older who can match her energy and help her feel at ease. She's selective about her doggy friends, so a meet-and-greet with any potential canine siblings is required. If you're ready to open your heart and home to this amazing girl, Sophie is eager to meet you. Don't forget to bring a leash and collar to take her home! Primary Color: Sable Secondary Color: Black Weight: 57.4 Age: 1yrs 9mths 1wks

Story
How this pet arrived: Avalanche was brought in by a community member on January 23, 2025. Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Avalanche-the canine equivalent of a confetti cannon! This happy-go-lucky pup comes with an unstoppable tail wag, a megawatt grin, and a love for attention that rivals a reality TV star. He's all about pets, praise, and possibly trying to climb into your lap (whether he fits or not). His excitement levels sometimes override his manners-think over-caffeinated intern on their first day-so he's still perfecting the art of not jumping for joy. If you're in need of a four-legged mood booster who thinks every day is the best day ever, Avalanche is your guy. Don't forget to bring a leash and collar-this party pup is ready to roll! Primary Color: Tan Secondary Color: Black Weight: 43 Age: 1yrs 3mths 3wks

Story
Meet Zephyr Meet Zephyr. The 10 month old Belgian Malinois. Zephyr is very shy at first and needs a minute to build trust with his humans with proper introductions. As a Belgian Malinois, he will require exercise and a family who is invested in continuous training. As a breed, they want to work with and please their humans, but need that enrichment on a daily basis. Zephyr is potty trained, but will likely need to adjust to a new environment. He is great with other dogs and is very playful, so he can definitely be in a home with another dog that matches his energy.
