German Shepherd Dog Husky

Female, Young
Faribault, MN
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Pretty mellow dog, not spayed but up to date on shots as of 3/23/2024. Has been around young kids (2-7yo) and a cat. Loves the outdoors (walks, playing in water, and rope/chewy toys). Two different colored eyes. Born 11/30/2023. A bit of a jumpy girl, but understands not to jump on kiddos. When encountering other animals (such as other dogs or cats) on walks, she mostly will ignore them or look at you for direction. Crate/kennel trained, sleeps in there at night. Does have a bit of separation anxiety (chewer) but thrives with her pack. Definitely could use some training in manners and leash manners, but does know commands such as sit lay down shake leave it and kennel. Very laid back for a husky mix, and really not vocal much. Looking for a home that can give her structure or a job to do, preferably with another large breed dog but not a requirement with an experienced owner. Rehoming due to landlord dog breed policy change.

Story
Scout is a very lovable German shepherd pup. He enjoys being outside, belly rubs, and lots of treats. He requires a lot of attention as he has separation anxiety. He would love someone to be home with him for the majority of the day to give him endless belly rubs. He will need to be fed in his kennel as he has slight food aggression. He would also do best in a home with older kids who don’t drop food on the ground, as he will immediately run over to get it as he is a “vacuum.” He loves being called “Scout pout” and loves when you ask him “would you like a Bewwy Wub” Scout is working on kennel training and will give you those big puppy dog eyes and try to hide on you when you need to put him to bed. He is also working on being friendly with other dogs. Most importantly scout has a big heart. It is easy to become his best friend. If you are looking for a lovable forever friend please get to know Scout. This pet is microchipped, spayed/neutered & up to date on vaccinations. The adoption fee is $500.

Story
Here's Lucy!! ....and she's got some 'splaining to do! She'd like you to know that she's beautiful, smart, funny and all of that, but she plays catch like an major leaguer - and she will play until you are exhausted :) She came in as a stray on New Year's Day. She is a Senior gal, but don't tell her that - she just wants to have fun!! Lucy would love to join your family and seems to do fine with kids. She doesn't seem to care much for cats, so a home without kitties is probably best as far as Lucy is concerned! She keeps a fairly clean kennel here at the shelter, so should just need a bit of training in her new home to get used to the new set up and she'll be ready to get out in the yard and play ball!! All pets adopted from the Humane Society of Freeborn County will be spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, testing and will be microchipped. All of this is included in their adoption fee. Fill out an application to adopt at freeborncountyhs.org When transitioning your new pet home please allow for at least 4-6 weeks for your pet to adjust to their new home. They will need this time to decompress, and adjust to a new routine and environment. During that time we will provide check ins and counseling to ensure a successful transition. Please review all basic adoption requirements listed on our website before applying. We take finding the right homes for the animals in our care very seriously. They deserve nothing but the best! Please allow 2-7 days for applications to be processed. If an animal is listed in foster care, these pets are not at our facility, but are in foster care homes. They are still available for adoption, and meet and greets are done with pre-approved applicants only. If you have any questions feel free to send us an email at freeborncohumanesociety@gmail.com, send us a message on Facebook, or call or text 507-377-8501.

Story
Rebel is a very handsome German Shepherd boy who came in as a stray and was never claimed. Born in October 2023, Rebel has plenty of energy and loves to run and play. We aren't sure how Rebel will feel about other dogs or cats, so that should be approached with caution. Rebel loves attention and has been on several day trips out into the community with great results. He seems to love almost everyone he meets. All pets adopted from the Humane Society of Freeborn County will be spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, testing and will be microchipped.

Gunner

German Shepherd Dog Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium)

Male, 9 yrs 7 mos
Austin, MN
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs special attention, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Gunner is a great dog who isn't quite used to having little kids in his house. We recommend older children for him to be successful in a new home. Gunner is playful and loving. He gets along with other dogs but doesn't care for the cats much. Gunner is a bit of a parrot because he loves to lay on the back of whatever you're sitting on! He loves to be brushed and petted. :) You have to meet him to appreciate his quirky personality. Gunner has a bit of anxiety and would benefit from only having 1 other animal in the home or no other animals in the home. We feel he would also benefit from someone being home a majority of the time. He really is a good boy who just needs a chance to love someone. Gunner is microchipped and crate trained. He does howl once in a while in the night. :) Come meet him!

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Not good with kids, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Warren is a younger guy (1 to 2 years old) who was found as a stray on a rural property. He was held for the legal stray hold and no owner was ever found, so he came to us on 11/11/2024. He looks mostly like a German shepherd mix, but there could be other breeds in there like cattle dog and husky. He has been vet checked, neutered, and microchipped, and his fee is $150. Warren is a larger, strong boy who will require some good, consistent training and good exercise. He seems pretty well mannered and loves to be with people. He needs an experienced owner who can set clear, firm boundaries with him. We're not sure how he would do with other dogs as he can be possessive of toys and food. Cats? Most likely a no. No kids for him as he does need some training and still demonstrates some puppy behavior (mouthing and jumping). He'll definitely require some regular brushing to keep his coat fabulous! A fenced yard would be perfect for Warren until he perfects his leash skills. NOTE:  Adoptions are done via private appointment once an application has been completed and approved. Applications must be submitted at our website, mchs.resuegroups.org. Keep an eye on your emails if you apply. We are located at 101 22nd St. SE in Austin, right next to the airport. It's exit 180B off of I-90, right off of 218 South. We do require that potential adopters be at least 21 years old and that any resident dogs be up to date on vaccinations, heartworm testing/preventatives, and spayed or neutered.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 14, 2024, 11:56 am
