Hello there, my name is Gage! I came to MVPC from a 3 strikes and you're out family.

I am super sweet and Iove getting attention from my people! I am a smart fella and I just want to please you. I know my commands but can be stubborn and talkative, as any GSD owner knows. Other dogs are pretty awesome but I don't know much about cats. I want to be with you or near you at all times - I absolutely need a family with GSD experience that will understand me and my needs. If you are looking for a loyal and loving new pal and are willing to help me become the best version of a GSD, I would love to meet you!

Story

Hi, I'm Trevor and I found myself in an overcrowded shelter. I don't understand why I kept being overlooked. I did have some wonky back legs - probably from being in a too small crate and not getting enough exercise from my previous home. But once I got to MVPC things began to turn around - I got a crate that fit me and am getting all kinds of exercise playing with my foster siblings. AND GUESS WHAT?!?! My back legs now have muscle and are just fine. I can even outrun some of my playmates! I haven't let my past hold me down, I don't know what a bad day is - all my days are fun and happy - that's me - fun and always happy! I am loving, sweet and pretty darn smart too! I love to be around and with my people and LOVE playing with my foster siblings. I have alot of energy and would really like a playmate at my forever home. I'm excellent with my crate manners and am house trained. I love toys and treats and did I mention I LOVE running and playing with my foster siblings? I would love to have a pack and family of my own.

Story

Hello everyone! My name is Brock, and it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance. As you can see, I'm a GSD through and through. Smart, loyal, and I love to be busy. Unlike a lot of my brethren, I am also a big lover and relish any chance to snuggle with my peoples. I came to MVPC from the shelter, but being there wasn't my fault. My previous family lost their home, and there was nowhere else for me to go. I missed my family, and hated the shelter, but luckily for me the Crew found me. I have proven to them that I was worth it. I am smart and love to learn. I am really good at my basic commands. I am housebroken, and good in my crate, but I don't like being there. I can be vocal there at times. I would much rather be out with you. Walks, hikes, playing in the yard, going on adventures in the car, sign me up. I also really like playing with my doggie pals. When we're all done, I'm ready for some snuggles. And some belly rubs! I would love to find a new family who has GSD experience and is willing to help me continue to grow into the awesome dog I want to be. If that's you, please let my pals at MVPC know. They will be happy to help us get together. ADOPTION FEE: $400 (All MVPC dogs are heartworm-tested and on prevention, completely vetted, spayed/neutered, microchipped, crate-trained and house-trained) ADOPTER: Breed experience BIRTHDAY: 10/30/2022 FENCE: Required (an electric fence is not an acceptable form of containment) DOG FRIENDLY: Yes DOGS IN HOME: Required CATS: Unknown CHILDREN: Yes, 8 and over I AM READY TO GO HOME - If you are approved to be my new family, a hold fee of $100 is required and will be applied to the full adoption fee of $400 when MVPC comes to visit your house with me! ***WE DO NOT HOLD DOGS.

Felicity is around 1-2 years old and was rescued as a stray along with her 9 puppies, all of whom have now found their forever homes. We're now focused on finding this sweet mama a loving family! Felicity enjoys playing with her toys and going on long walks. She's intelligent and eager to please, making her a wonderful companion. She travels well in the car and loves indulging in a nice bath and spa day. While she has had positive interactions in small playgroups with other dogs, we believe she would thrive best as the only pet in a household, as she prefers not to share her toys. Felicity is patiently waiting for a forever home with someone experienced in caring for German Shepherds. This affectionate and clever girl is looking for a family that will continue her training and provide plenty of playtime!

Bright Eyes

German Shepherd Dog

Germantown, OH

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Whoever said “eyes are the windows into the soul”, was talking about Bright eyes (called “Tucker” by his foster mom). One look into his eyes and you can see the overwhelming love this little guy has to give. Bright eyes is approximately 10 months old and approximately 35lbs. We think he is a German Shepherd Mix. If you are looking for a snuggle buddy to keep you warm in the cold winter months, look no further. Bright eyes would love nothing more than to sit in or ON your lap. He does not understand personal space, the closer, the better. He loves his people. He has a very calm demeanor and just wants to be close to his family. Although a relatively calm little guy he is still a puppy, so he loves to play. His favorite game is tug-of-war. Outside, Bright eyes LOVES to play fetch! He loves to prance and hop around the yard in happiness. He is working on his soccer skills. He is very smart and is picking up on commands extremely quickly. He knows Sit and Touch (gently touches your hand in greeting with his nose). He is working on Down, Shake, Watch, Drop it and Leave It. He is great on the leash—no pulling or tugging. He has had a few public outings and did great meeting new people! He’s happy to be included and smell all the smells. He would be great for an active person who loves to go on walks, but would also be just as happy staying inside, snuggling by a fire. If you’re looking for a sweet, little love bug to join your family, Bright Eyes is your guy. He will happily join you in all of your life’s adventures; whether it’s hiking a mountain or binging Netflix— Bright Eyes will be in your lap or by your side as your happiest companion. He will love and cherish every moment with you, until your eyes, shine just as bright &#226&#156&#168 All of our dogs are spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, microchipped and if over 6 months of age, heartworm tested and on heartworm preventative in their foster home. We require an approved application to meet any of our dogs. We do not have a shelter location and will not arrange a meeting without an approved application. We strive to make sure the bios provided for our dogs are complete and accurate; we do understand that mistakes happen, however, so if you absolutely cannot find the answer to your question in the dog's bio, you can contact us for more information. We require a home visit for each dog we adopt out, so we adopt within a 2 hour radius of Dayton, OH. If you are outside of this radius, we encourage you to contact your local rescue or shelter.
