Story
The choice to re-home Azalea has been hard for us as we love her dearly. One of my kids recently moved out and took her dog, therefore Azalea has no playmates and is home alone a lot while the rest of us are at work. She deserves a place to play, socialize, and have more freedom. She was born April 17, 2019 and has always been great with dogs, cats, and kids. She's strong and should have a gentle lead while walking/hiking. She's been spayed and has zero health issues.

Story
Meet Reba, this gentle giant who in size is second only to her timid nature. Will at times follow you around closer than your shadow, but also enjoys loafing around the house. She is housebroken and crate trained, but when nervous or meeting new people will sometimes pee out of fright, but otherwise potties outside. Is interested in cats, but never aggressive, and is good with kids mostly avoiding them. She can be easily startled and will hurry back to get to her safe space/crate. She is a very calm dog but will need patience due to her size and timid nature.

Hello there, my name is Gage! I came to MVPC from a 3 strikes and you're out family. First strike, they kept me outside in a kennel my whole life where I caught a couple different parasitic infections. Second strike, they taught me nothing. Third strike, they weren't very nice to me. Thank goodness I wound up here! Since I have come to MVPC and a GSD-savvy home, I have flourished into the best version of myself and a great example of my breed. 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!

Hi, my name is Zeppelin! My nickname is "Zippy Zeppelin" because I like to run really fast. My favorite activities include playing tag, exploring outside while hiking, running really fast, chasing balls, chewing on sticks and bones, cuddling and looking cute. You know, the typical GSD stuff. I get along really well with people and dogs, haven't met a cat yet. New places, like stores, can be tricky sometimes, but I really like going to Lowe's! With enough training, I could hold a flashlight, fetch tools and even supervise -I'm pretty smart!

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.
