Story
Meet Juneberry — lovingly called Junebee — a playful, intelligent German Shepherd mix who is finishing professional training and ready to find her forever home. Junebee has a big personality and a joyful, goofy spirit. She loves to run, play, learn new things, and be part of whatever her people are doing. She’s the kind of dog who will happily try to climb into your lap for affection — even though she doesn’t quite realize she’s a 67-pound shepherd mix. Junebee is currently enrolled in a structured professional training program where she has been working on obedience, leash skills, impulse control, and confidence. She has made wonderful progress and is showing just how smart and capable she is. She already knows many commands including: • Sit• Down• Stand• Heel• Place• Crate• Wait• Leave It• Come / Recall She has also started learning fun tricks like: • Spin • Reverse • Sit Pretty  Shake / High Five Rollover Under Fetch Out Leave It       Her trainer describes her as very intelligent, eager to work, and full of potential. Junebee truly enjoys learning and thrives when she has structure, consistency, and a clear leader. With continued guidance, she will be an incredible companion for an active home. Her adopter will receive guidance on continuing the training she has already learned. Junebee loves to play with other dogs and would do great with a canine friend who enjoys her playful energy. Because she can get excited and sometimes forget how big she is, she would do best with older children. She does not do well with cats, as she enjoys chasing them. Junebee is housebroken, affectionate, and loves spending time outdoors. A secure fenced yard is recommended so she has space to run and burn off some of her shepherd energy. She is currently finishing her training and will be ready to go home on March 20, 2026, but applications are being accepted now. The right home for Junebee will be one that enjoys an active, intelligent dog who loves to learn, play, and be part of the family.

Story
Camo is a handsome, mature German Shepherd searching for an experienced Shepherd owner to give him the loving, forever home he deserves. Strong, active, and incredibly intelligent, Camo thrives when he has both mental and physical outlets to keep him engaged.He would do best as the only pet in the home, where he can soak up all the attention and affection he loves. Camo truly enjoys being around people and forms strong bonds with his humans. Because of his size and strength, a home without young children is recommended.A securely fenced yard is a must for this energetic boy, along with a big heart ready to welcome a loyal and devoted companion. If you're looking for a smart, loving dog who will be your one-and-only best friend, Camo could be the perfect match.DOB 4/1/18 Pounds 81I'm waiting for a home to call my own. email webmaster@petrefuge.com to learn more about me or fill out an application at https://www.petrefuge.com/adoptPet Refuge was formed in 1978 to help with cats and dogs in need of homes.
