Story
Macy is a stunning 6 ish year old German Shepherd x Cattle Dog mix. Macy was part of a litter born to a semi-feral Shepherd in rural Kentucky. Macy has spent her entire life bouncing around foster homes after being trapped as a 5 month old pup - although her siblings and mother were adopted years ago Macy has continued to linger in rescue.    Macy is extremely affectionate with people she knows but despite being a house-dog her entire live Macy is still very skittish and shy with new people. Macy has great house manners and is very routine oriented but prefers her routine to include more hiking and less cuddling. Unless it is belly rubs in which case she will always accept those. Macy has slowly expanded her social circle over the years with various foster homes and volunteer outings and does tolerate the trappings of domestic dog live pretty well. However, she is not the sort of dog that declares love at first meeting and she still makes new people work for her trust. She is well worth the work as she is just an amazingly smart and sweet girl. Macy does not do well with children under 10 ish years of age - she finds them very in need of herding.    Macy does phenomenal with other dogs and is very dog social. She loves to romp and run in the yard with other dogs and is a very appropriate communicator with the younger dogs. Macy takes a lot of her social cues from other dogs and does best when she has a steady, confident dog to follow. Macy has lived with cats at various times and does well with both indoor and outdoor cats. She does sometimes try to herd a new to her cat but is easily redirected and respects the boundaries once they are set.   Macy is a sweet soul that is looking for a loving home that will appreciate her quirky, slightly-feral ways and give her the stability she needs to adjust and trust a new home. If you have a place in your heart and home for Macy please email Tierhavenrescue@gmail.com for an adoption application or visit Tierhaven.rescuegroups.org for more information. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 5, 2024, 8:53 pm

Louisville, KY
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Zoey is a beautiful young sable German Shepherd female estimated around 5-6 years of age. Zoey was a stray and we unfortunately do not know her history but Zoey is happily looking forward to having a family of her own.    Zoey is a playful and rambunctious girl. Her favorite activities include playing in muddy ponds, getting all the love, and inappropriately barking at unknown dogs and people. Zoey is learning how to navigate the world and make new human friends. While Zoey can be a very friendly and social girl she is at a critical point in her life known as the 'fear period' and can struggle with reactivity when meeting new people. It is extremely important that Zoey have a confident, experienced, handler that can compassionately guide her through the safe socialization she needs in order to learn how to navigate the world kindly. Zoey is very much a puppy and while eager to please she is still figuring out what is expected of her and how to rise to those expectations. Zoey has been great meeting volunteers with the guidance of her foster home and with those she knows is a very loving, playful girl. She has enjoyed going on hikes around private property and exploring ponds and mud puddles. Zoey is an active and athletic girl who is going to require ongoing exercise and structure to ensure her growth into a well rounded adult Shepherd. Zoey would be a great running companion, hiking buddy, and would likely excel in a number of dog sports. Zoey is NOT suitable for a home with children at this time.    Zoey is still figuring out other dogs and how to interact in a polite manner. Zoey can be very vocal when she meets new dogs and was defensive with other dogs when she arrived at her foster home. She has since settled in and is able to enjoy playgroups with other young Shepherds as well as group hikes. Zoey is slowly figuring out that she can play appropriately and doing a great job. Zoey will require ongoing structured socialization and guidance to maintain her progress as she is at an age of development where her socialization both in and out of the house is vital. Zoey is NOT friendly with cats or small dogs as she has shown a very high prey drive with both.    Zoey is a young, eager to please, and outgoing Shepherd who is searching for an active, loving, and adventurous home to give her the guidance and love she needs to grow into an even more wonderful companion. If you're the home for Zoey please email Tierhavenrescue@gmail.com for an adoption application or visit tierhaven.rescuegroups.org for FAQsVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 5, 2024, 8:53 pm

Layla

German Shepherd Dog

Female, Adult
Louisville, KY
Size
(when grown) -
Details
Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Layla is a stunning female German Shepherd who is estimated around 5 years of age. Layla was a stray therefore we do not know her history or background prior to arrival at the shelter.     Layla is a fun girl who doesn't seem to understand the purpose of humans outside of meal times. She is aloof and generally seems to not understand why the other dogs would bother with human attention - after all humans are only good for their opposable thumbs. Layla defaults to ignoring people unless solicited for attention in which case she is happy to entertain her adoring fans. Layla has a diva energy about her and definitely thinks she runs the shows sometimes. Layla does not typically seek attention or playtime and prefers to chill out and do her own thing.  Layla has had very limited interactions with children at this time but has done well with the few she has met.        Layla is fostering with other dogs and enjoys being the bossy supervisor of anything they do. She tends to ignore the dogs 98% of the time but in the instance that she catches them playing or being too energetic she is quick to be the fun police. Her version of fun is being the fun police it seems and most dogs do not appreciate her reprimands. She gets along well with the more laid back dogs and those that tolerate her controlling nature. She would likely prefer being an only dog or with older, laid back, dogs. Layla is not good with cats or small dogs.        Layla is a beautiful girl who is looking for a patient home that will guide her in becoming a loved family member.

Details
Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Merv is a handsome young male German Shepherd estimated around 2.5 years old. Merv was a stray so we do not know his history or background prior to arrival at the shelter.    Merv is a social, outgoing boy who happily brings joy and entertainment wherever he goes. He is a beautiful and energetic boy but not always the smartest cookie in the bunch. Merv is people-centric and is an eager to please guy who thrives on guidance from his humans. He has a big heart and is looking to someone to be his 'person'. Merv is an active dog and would be a phenomenal hiking or jogging companion. While he isn't constantly on the go, he isn't a couch potato either. Merv has only been around kids 10 + years of age but he has done well with them.    Merv prefers to be the main character in this storyline and isn't looking to share his home with other dogs. Merv has been able to acclimate to living with other dogs in his foster home but still struggles with reactivity and requires diligent supervision of his interactions with the other dogs. He has greatly improved his leash manners and is doing better at ignoring dogs in public as well.  Merv is NOT friendly towards cats or small dogs.    Merv is a beautiful, sweet young guy who is looking for some much needed guidance and love to help him thrive as a good canine citizen.

Story
Gia is a female German Shepherd around 5 years of age. Gia was kept as a backyard dog and struggles with barrier reactivity. She was surrendered to the shelter after getting out of her yard and nipping a jogger.   Gia is a very sweet, loyal girl who is learning how to expand her social circle. Gia adores those she knows and has been an outgoing, friendly girl with all of the volunteers she has met. Gia thinks she is a lap dog and loves to get attention - especially butt scratches. Gia is generally a well mannered girl but does struggle with barrier reactivity around her crate and fences. She can be a pretty vocal, wild girl in this situations but calms down quickly once out or redirected. Gia has not been around children to our knowledge.   Gia does great with the other dogs in her foster home. She is appropriate and friendly with the other dogs although she isn't very playful. She isn't one to romp or roughhouse that we've seen but she does a great job navigating the other dogs in the yard. Gia has NOT been cat tested.   Gia is a big, loving girl who is looking for an experienced home that can help her continue to grow her social circle and improve on her FOMO when crated.
