Story

Kona is a sweet, smart, healthy, and athletic girl. I adopted her in 2016 and at the time, the vet said was 2-3 years old. I was single then and had lots of time time to spend with her. I’m now married with two small children, a full time job (active duty military) and a husband who deploys regularly. I can no longer give Kona the get the exercise or attention she deserves and she is home alone all day which causes her anxiety. It pains me to have to look for a better home for her, but the circumstances of my life aren’t fair to her. I’m hoping to find someone who can love her and give her the attention she deserves.

Story

I am a gentle giant and also a big scaredy cat! I was humanely trapped after months or years (no one knows) surviving on my own sneaking into a wilderness camp finding scraps and running from people. Once caught I was placed in multiple homes (by the shelter), lost by all of them and then returned. No one understood my need to feel safe first and fear of people of any kind. My last placement led me here when no one could catch me. After my third capture I got what I learned TO LOVE. I now welcome treats, affection, human interaction and love my dog friends. I thrive with an outgoing dog. When I attend events or pack walks I immediately make my fur friends my pack and need them close. I transiftion well from one dog friend to another but will need a Solid FOREVER Soulmate owner. It's taken me a long time to gain trust, find my love for people and affection so this change for me needs to be once. When I know you're safe you are MY solid and I will spend all my time wanting to be with you. I LOVE walking on a leash. Despite my enormitiy I am a mouse on the line (unless something scares me). I am ready to retire and become someone's forever. It's important that my new home be prepared to be patient, let me get to know them, love me until I do and keep me safe with no new changes. It's a big ask but certainly someone out there has a dog needing a friend and a permanent plan that does not involve moves or a need to change once I move in. Some things to know about me-noise sensitive (loud noises, squeak toys)-has no idea how large he is and wants to curl in your lap-doesn’t like his feet touched and will avoid it at all cost-loves to share his toys and crate space with his friends-watches other dogs in his run to see how brave he needs to be with new people-food motivated-not overly destructive with his toys (or if he is, he blames it on the other dogs )-walks really well on leash-Prefers to be a “homebody”. Flight Risk: do not leave unattended in a yard, crate training is a must when you are gone, tight grip on the leash is a must on adventures.

Story

I am your dream dog! I am loving and gentle. You will love my sweet and cuddly nature. I am quiet but I will bark if strangers come to the door. I walk very nicely on a leash and I will sit for pets. I love to take long walks but if we only took short walks or If I only got to play in the yard, that would be fine, too. I like to be outside a lot, so I prefer a home with a yard or patio. I am crate-trained and like to sleep in my crate at night, but i really love having access to an outdoor space and would prefer to be outside than trapped in a crate. I spent the first year of my life living in a crate about 22 hours a day. I don't want to be reminded of those times. I am a good boy and deserve a good life. Please give me a chance. I eat a raw diet and would love to adopted by someone who embraces a holistic lifestyle that includes a raw diet but this is not a requirement after the first 3 months. I can be slowly transitioned back to regular dog food once the adoption is final. I have health insurance with no pre-existing conditions so you should never have to worry about vet bills. Besides that, I am perfectly healthy! Adoption requirements: Home ownership with insurance that allows German Shepherd mixes Some outdoor space that I can have access to most of the time I would do best as an only dog or in a family with another dog 20lbs or larger. I cannot be trusted to be alone with cats or other small animals.

Story

Meet beautiful Molly. She was found in the middle of nowhere, in the bones, and with too much fear, she tried to bite us until she could understand that we were not going to hurt her, we just wanted to help her, and she got on her belly, letting me know that she trusted me. She is a really sweet, intelligent, loving dog, she has too much love to give, and she needs to receive even more. She is a very loyal dog, and tends to dance with her front paws when she gets excited. She gets excited when she goes for a walk, she likes to see new places and sometimes she is a little shy at first with strangers but she understands quickly when people don't want to hurt her. On the contrary when she knows that people are a threat to her or to you, she is very protective. She gets along well with very few male dogs, she is dominant and does not usually play with other dogs, but she gets along very well with adults and children, she would be ideal for a family with small children, she knows how to measure her strength, and she is not at all rude with babies.

Story

Meet Rocko, formerly known as Peter from the Mal-y Bunch! Rocko is a sweet, happy, very smart and driven 6 month old Malinois x German Shepherd mix who weighs around 20 lbs. He has been fostered with other dogs, ranging in age from 1.5 years old to 9 years old. Rocko has also been socialized with kids, though we recommend a home with dog-experienced kids since Rocko will need some help understanding how to play with them. This gem of a pup loves to love and bonds quickly with his person or persons, is eager to learn and please, and does great out in social settings. Rocko's also house and crate trained, and is working on his leash manners. He'll make a great hiking or adventure buddy, working dog, or sport dog. Rocko's story - Their mama was surrendered to the shelter the day before she gave birth. The very next day she welcomed 9 beautiful puppies. The shelter is no place for any dog, let alone a mom and her new puppies. Thanks to an amazing foster, we were able to quickly rescue mama + all 10 puppies! All Mutt Luv dogs/puppies come vaccinated, microchipped, s/n, heartworm tested, and with a clean bill of health from our vet.
