Story
This is Gouda a littermate of Blue also listed. I am a year old as of Dec 23 2024. Due to bringing him and his brother home together there is littermate syndrome to deal with. The bad boy signs we've noticed are he demand squeaks for anything he wants, stubbornness when together with his brother, not listening when overstimulated and will munch plants and trees. The good boy traits are loves to snack and very food motivated, very sweet and will get ready along side of you, loves his makeup done and helping with laundry by putting his head in the dryer machine. He is a quick learner and eager to please when not being egged on by his brother. He has gone through professional training and won the heart of his trainer and graduated with flying colors. He loves to adventure but prefers a lickable or chewable snack. Does great off leash and will come with a tracker collar. We need a home for them asap due to living conditions getting tight.

Story
This is Blue. He is a year old as of Dec. 23rd 2024 and is litter mates with Gouda. Brought home together so both have littermate syndrome. The bad boy signs we have noticed are loves to jump for snacks, stubbornness when together with his brother, not listening when overstimulated and will munch plants and trees. The good boy signs his mom loves, he is super sweet guy. Would absolutely be the best cuddler just needs someone to tire him out first. He will bark when you meet him but he's just loud and the second you offer pets he will absolutely melt. He absolutely loves to run and adventure and being off leash but recall needs a little work. He won't roam far and will have a tracker collar included. He has training that was done professionally and a trainer that adored him and graduated with high marks and super eager to learn. Looking for a loving home with someone who has time to train out some bad behavior and littermate syndrome as soon as possible as.

Story
Here is Declan! He has been in our care for over three years, being pulled from a kill shelter on his last day by a WARF volunteer. On arrival at our sanctuary, we discovered that Declan's left eye was completely ruptured and had to be removed due to either bullet or blunt force trauma. We also discovered that he was likely a former guard dog that had been badly trained, resulting in misplaced aggression towards people and animals. Declan started out with only one friend in the world and was aggressive towards everyone, but he is now confident enough to be able to be introduced to new people by his trusted handlers in a slow, controlled environment. In the three years that Declan has been with WARF, he has made slow but steady progress, and we now feel that he is ready to find his special person. He would be an ideal dog for a single woman, as his protective nature really comes through once he has bonded with someone. He would prefer an indoor-outdoor environment, as he likes to roam the perimeter, making sure everything is safe, but needs to be securely contained as he is a big, strong boy and can't be in an environment where he could encounter a person or animal he does not know. Declan has learned to walk nicely alongside other dogs but does not want to share his life, or his people, with other animals. If you are interested in learning more about this incredibly resilient dog, please call/text 775-338-6631. An adoption process for Declan would require a calm but confident person who is willing to commit to multiple get-acquainted visits and a home check, as we want to be sure that he never has to go through abandonment and trauma again.February 2, 2025, 3:22 pm

Story
Winston is a senior White German Shepherd mix who was saved from death row at the last minute after being found abandoned and emaciated along a creek bed in Sacramento. He has had severe ear infections in both ears, likely for years, which went untreated and one eardrum has ruptured, which is being treated medically and will require surgery. Winston will not be available until after his surgery which is at the end of February. Winston thrives on the company of other dogs. He is great in the car, gets along with cats and dogs of all sizes, walks nicely on a leash, and is just a gentle giant in spite of what was probably a lifetime of neglect. He weighs about 85 pounds currently but should probably be closer to around 100 pounds, he eats well and has already gained some weight back. If you are interested in meeting Winston, please fill out an application at www.tahoewarf.org and text 775-338-6631 or 775-846-3773.February 17, 2025, 6:11 pm
