Story

PUPPY POWER! Meet Trooper, the sweetest little adventurer you'll ever meet! This 4-month-old black German Shepherd mix is Raven’s pup and has inherited her loving and gentle personality. Just like his mama, Trooper is a sweetheart who gets along with everyone—kids, dogs, people, and even livestock. He’s already showing signs of being the perfect family companion. Trooper is off to a great start in life. He walks confidently on a leash and already knows how to sit, stay, and lie down. He’s also potty trained, which is a huge bonus for a pup his age. But don’t let his smarts fool you—this cuddly boy loves nothing more than to climb into your lap, snuggle up, and fall fast asleep. With his puppy energy, Trooper will thrive in an active home where he can keep busy and out of mischief (because let’s face it, he’s still a puppy who might otherwise go on some chewing missions!). He’s had all his shots, is full of life, and ready to bring love, joy, and some adorable antics to his forever family. If you’re looking for a loyal, friendly, and playful addition to your family, Trooper is your guy! Will you be the lucky one to welcome this little star into your heart and home? ##2234318##

PUPPY SUPERHERO! Say hello to Muddy, a 4-month-old black German Shepherd mix with a heart as big as his mama, Raven! This adorable boy has all the makings of a perfect companion—he’s gentle, friendly, and full of that irresistible puppy charm. Muddy has already mastered the basics: he walks on a leash, knows how to sit, stay, and lie down, and he’s fully potty trained. His favorite place to be? Right in your lap, where he’ll happily snooze after a day of fun and play. With his boundless puppy energy, Muddy loves to stay active, whether it’s romping around with kids, playing with other dogs, or exploring outdoors. Keep him engaged, and you’ll have a happy, well-behaved pup who thrives. Muddy gets along wonderfully with everyone—kids, dogs, livestock, and people alike. He’s already had his shots and is ready to bring his sweet and playful nature into a loving home. Like any curious puppy, he’ll need plenty of attention and activities to keep him from turning into a master chewer (though he’s way too cute to stay mad at for long!). If you’re ready to welcome a loyal, snuggly, and energetic pup into your life, Muddy is waiting to meet you. Could he be the missing piece to your family? ##2234324##

Meet Raven, the epitome of a perfect family dog! This stunning 1.5-year-old black German Shepherd is a true gem with her silky coat, leggy frame, and heart-melting personality. At 60 pounds, Raven has just the right mix of elegance and charm. Raven is the ultimate sweetheart who gets along with everyone and everything—livestock, cats, people, and especially kids. Her gentle, loving nature makes her a favorite among little ones, and she thrives in a home filled with laughter and activity. With no prey drive and a medium energy level, she’s the perfect balance of playfulness and calm. This smart girl knows all her commands, walks beautifully on a leash, and absolutely adores playing ball. Her treat and food motivation make her a dream to train, and her adorable ear movements when she’s listening will melt your heart every time you talk to her. Raven has had all her vaccinations, and her silky coat isn’t just for show—it’s a reflection of the healthy, happy dog she is. Whether you’re looking for a playful companion or a snuggle buddy, Raven is ready to be your loyal best friend. If you’re searching for a dog who loves affection, fits seamlessly into any family, and brings joy wherever she goes, Raven is your girl! Will you give her the loving home she deserves? ##2234310##

Story

We are looking to rehome our sweet 5 month old puppy. She is a shepherd and terrier mix. Unfortunately despite training, our cats haven’t been able to adjust to the her and the living situation isn’t fair to her or the cats. I’ve also had an unexpected career change and don’t have the amount of time to give her that she deserves for training and socialization. She is excellent with children and other dogs. She is crate trained, potty trained, up to date on shots, spayed, and knows some basic commands. I have never heard her bark at another dog or stranger as well. She ideally needs to be in a home with no cats but another dog as she’s been lonely without another dog to play with. She does bark and try to corner cats. She will come with her crate, toys, bowls, leash and harness. She will need a home that can give her enough attention, training and play time. I really just want someone to be able to love her and give her the attention she deserves as she is a really sweet dog.
