Story
Ace is an outgoing dog who enjoys pats, play, fetch, and food. He is excited to spend time outside, is still working on his leash walking, and can't wait to find his new bestie to share life with.OTHER PETS: Ace is excited to meet other dogs and pulls toward them, inviting them to play. Unfortunately, Ace doesn't listen to feedback from other dogs which can create conflicts with dogs who are not interested in his style of play - which is rough & rowdy! Ace would do well with a dog that enjoys similar rough play, but would also do well as the sole object of human affection in the house. [Case-By-Case / Only Pet (Must Meet First)] OWNER EXPERIENCE: Someone experienced with GSDs who utilize medical wearables would be Ace's perfect fit; a good fit would be someone who had GSD experience as Ace's activity level, curiosity & tendency to find trouble (GSD characteristics) are more challenging than learning to use and maintain his medical equipment. [Very Experienced] KIDS: Ace is playful and friendly, but is uncomfortable with a lot of handling, grabs for toys with his mouth, and is still working on leash walking without pulling. He will play fetch and place toys into people's hands but may accidently grab someone's hand while trying to grab a toy. Ace's best fit would be with older teens and adults, and minor humans should meet Ace before adoption. [15+ (Must Meet First)]ACTIVITY LEVEL: Ace is out of his puppy stage but still has a good amount of energy - he is always excited and pulling to go out, and relaxes after getting some exercise. Multiple daily walks, play sessions, (supervised if outside) and lots of mental enrichment would be a good fit for Ace. He enjoys fetch and would love to have a fenced yard to romp around in. [Good Walking Buddy / Olympic Athlete]VETERINARY CARE: Ace has had a long road to recovery since spraining his foot; multiple surgeries and the crate rest that comes with them is not fun, but he is now ready to move forward and will need a good relationship with a vet to ensure that he stays in prime condition to play for as long as possible. Ace has been fitted for a custom orthopetic brace that he will need to wear the vast majority of the time for the remainder of his life. The brace will not interfere with his level of activity; it will stabilize his joint and ensure he will be able to play, run, and go on long walks for as long as he desires to. [Above Average]GROOMING: Regular brushing will keep Ace's coat shiny & clean. [Routine Brushing] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Positive reinforcement training will help Ace bond with his new owner as well as ensuring he learns cues and skills. Ace is a smart boy who has already had some unwanted behaviors reinforced and will need support from his owner as he learns appropriate ways of channeling his excitement.

Story
Cotton is a 16-week-old pup who made the journey from Alabama with his siblings to find a home of his own. His southern foster did a great job getting him started—he's been socialized with kids and other animals and has begun learning to use pee pads. But like any puppy, he's still a work in progress! His new family should be ready for all the usual puppy responsibilities, including house training, basic manners, and puppy classes to help him grow into the best dog he can be. If you're up for the fun (and the challenge) of raising a pup, Cotton just might be the one for you! If you're ready to adopt now and want to learn more about, meet, or adopt this pet, you can start the process in one of two ways: Come on in during open adoption hours Tuesday - Saturday 12:30-3:00! For in-shelter pets (not in foster care) coming in ASAP is the fastest way to adopt. **the below two methods are slower than visiting us** Call us (413-781-4000 x 1) or email us (springfield@dakinhumane.org) for more information about a pet.

Story
To adopt please fill out an adoption application. Summer is a beautiful 2yo female white German Shepherd Dog who was rescued as a stray in Memphis.  Friendly, well socialized, never meets a stranger!  (be sure to watch her video!). Good with kids although recommended for older kids just due to her size and enthusiasm!  Fine with other dogs.  Not recommended for cats because she likes to chase them.  Playful with moderate activity level outside and settles down quickly in the house. Good house manners. Housebroken but not crated because she doesn’t need to be. Obeys basic commands.  Loves to be with her people.  When she first came to us, Summer had heartworms, but she was treated without complications and cured and is now ready for adoption. Healthy and fully vetted, current on shots, spayed, weighs about 80 pounds. AWESOME young GSD will make a great companion (and jogging partner) for an active family who loves the breed. Here’s a note from her foster mom.  This is Summer. I found her running in traffic in July. She was nothing but ribs and hip bones when I found her, clearly she’d been on the streets alone for a while. I couldn’t leave her there. I took Summer to the vet, she had heartworms but she was treated and cured. She’s dog friendly but a little too active for my 2 senior dogs who just want to sleep all day! But she is dog friendly.   Last month we were harassed by 2 stray dogs during our walk but Summer never fought back or showed any aggression and we were able to just hurry away. She’s very friendly with people, even strangers.  And good with kids. She’s somewhat obedience trained and knows some verbal/hand commands.  She has mild separation anxiety and doesn’t like being left alone and doesn’t like it when people yell.  Summer’s ideal Adopter should have experience with GSD's, be patient and willing to work with her separation anxiety, be able to spend a lot of time at home and enjoy an active lifestyle. Summer is a wonderful young dog and anybody who loves shepherds would be very happy with her.
