Story
Ben is very sweet, but very aggressive with strangers. He's been through trying at Kastons. He warmed up to both trainers for the weeks he was there. On the follow up visit, he nipped at one of them he had previously been fine with. I'm facing some health issues and I don't have anyone I can leave him with during treatments. I'm getting older and he's too much for me when I don't feel well.

Story
This is Chester, 3-year old purebred German Shepherd male. He is neutered and up to date with all shots. Highly trainable with zero health related issues; his hips were x-rayed at a very young age and showed no sign of dysplasia. Chester is quirky and weird. He is often sensitive and shy but has no problems being out in public/social settings with a handler that he trusts and respects. He does not like everyone and he often feels triggered around new people and new settings. On the other side of his introvert character is an intelligent, athletic, and resolutely persistent dog. He enjoys just about everything from playing fetch to exploring hiking trails with the people he loves. Chester needs an experienced handler and/or handlers who can provide upward of 3 hours everyday to care for him and stimulate him mentally/physically. This is a dog for someone who is capable of providing and enforcing rules, routines, and structure consistently on a daily basis.

Story
Jo came to us from another shelter. It is always sad when an older dog comes to us, because they have to adjust to living in a kennel situation and it is terribly confusing for them. Even though she is older she has a lot of energy, and is extremely strong. We have found she walks much better on a gentle leader than a traditional leash. She needs someone with German Shepherd breed experience and allow her time to open up to you and show you her sweet nature. She is new to us, so there are things still unknown as far as her likes and dislikes, she has not been around children yet and would do best in a home without other dogs. She is currently healing from a skin infection, so her haircut is a bit different, but will grow back and she will be even more beautiful than before. DOB 10-8-14 93 poundsI'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.

Story
Beautiful Bella! She is one gorgeous German Shepherd. Bella is intelligent, friendly, athletic, but true to her breed, can be protective. She would benefit from having a new owner that has breed experience and will continue to work on her obedience training. Bella needs to have a secure fenced yard, older children, and no chickens or small animals please. Her personality is sweet and she loves attention. We have not introduced her to other dogs yet.
