Story
Meet Scott! 🐾 Scott is an adult German Shepherd with a very sweet heart and a very smart mind. He knows basic commands like sit and enjoys learning and engaging with his people. Scott loves going on walks, playing games, and will happily invite you to join in on the fun. When playtime is over, he’s just as happy soaking up affection, especially pets and belly rubs. With his loyal nature and playful spirit, Scott would make a wonderful companion for someone looking for both an active and affectionate best friend. Scott is a mix of two working-breed dogs, which means he will likely need ongoing training and consistent mental stimulation throughout his life. He did begin basic obedience training through our prison program; however, his strong dislike of golf carts caused his training to end earlier than planned. Scott will thrive with a confident, experienced handler who understands the needs of working breeds—both mentally and physically—and can provide the structure, engagement, and guidance he requires to succeed. The shelter is open Tuesday through Friday from 3:30 PM to 6:30 PM, and on Saturday and Sunday from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM. A meet-and-greet is required for all shelter dogs if you already have a dog. Thank you for considering the adoption of a shelter animal in need!

Story
I have not met a more social pup than Sahara! This girl is all about having a good time with her humans and doggies :D She greets you with a jump or a hug. If you lower your face to hers, she thinks nothing of lathering your face with kisses. She also loves to randomly hug you. She is adoringly affectionate! Sahara is the same with dogs. She loves all dogs. She gets into crazy plays with them. She has been known to shape shift through openings in fences or gates to play with the neighborhood dogs :/ She has a love for exploration. She must be a Sagittarius 😊She has a mostly reliable recall so that’s a huge relief! On walks, she pulls initially because she is so excited to be out and about, but she does calm down minutes into the walk. She loves her walks. This girl is a natural explorer. She is a curious girl. Sahara is indifferent to toys. She prefers to be engaging with her humans and doggie friends. She gets excited when you get excited even though she has no idea what the excitement is about. She hops around like a crazy girl because you are happy about something :/ Sahara takes treats nicely. She sits and waits for them. Sahara does well in a crate. She keeps a clean crate. Sahara is about 2.5 years old, 60lb GSD mix. She is looking for a semi-active family with a playful resident dog(s) that she can be besties with. Older children who like to engage with her will make her very happy. Sahara is an ideal family pup.

DODGER

German Shepherd Dog Collie

Male, Young
Amherst, OH
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Dodger. He was saved from an overcrowded shelter where he was at risk of euthanasia. He is now fully vetted, neutered and all vaccines. Dodger did test positive for Ehrlichia before he came to us and was put on a regime of doxycycline. He should need no further treatment and has no symptoms. He loves to play with other dogs and would benefit from another dog in the household. Not yet sure on cats. He is a friendly guy but young children may nut he a good fit due to his exuberance .  I do prefer a fenced yard for Dodger so he can play and burn off energy. His foster dad has been working on commands with him and Dodger is a quick learner and doing great. His adoption fee is $200. If interested in Dodger, please email hartmanshounds@gmail.com.March 10, 2026, 2:10 pm
