Story
His name is Rio and he is 4 years old. We took him in because my brother in law was moving out of state. We have another large dog that he gets along well with. We are looking for someone who has the time for him. He is “go, go, go” constantly and my wife and I do it have the time. Our house and yard are small and we just don’t have the room for two large dogs. We both work full time and an hour away. He needs attention and lots of running room. Basically two large dogs are too much for us. Rio is a sweetheart and is good with anyone and any dog. He is healthy and about 75 lbs.

Story
Meet Henry, the charming pooch with a heart of gold and a few quirks that make him all the more lovable! Henry is a dashing fellow who's looking for a forever home where he can be the center of attention. What's his quirk you may ask? He is a real sweetheart but particular about one thing: having hands in his food bowl. But fear not! You can pet him while he eats or even hand-feed him without a single growl. How can this be managed? Well, we have Henry follow the commands 'sit' and 'stay' until we give him the command to go eat. Henry respects our boundaries just as we respect his! The second little quirk? This handsome lad is a bit of a dominant dog, especially around other alpha types. But put a leash on him, and he's ready for an adventure! Henry adores his walks and car rides, always eager to explore the world by your side. When he's not on the go, Henry's all about that cuddle life. Belly rubs are his weakness, and he'll happily trade them for kisses any day. Plus, he's as playful as they come and quick to learn new tricks, making him the perfect companion for someone with a zest for life. If you're looking for a loyal friend who's equal parts affectionate and adventurous, Henry's your guy. Come meet him today and discover the joy of having this charming canine by your side!

Story
Maverick is an amazing and loving purebred German shepherd from Texas. He is 5 years old and is always in a great mood. He is so much fun to play with and always full of energy! He still thinks he’s a lap dog, and when he gets know you will love you with all of his heart. He is fully house trained, leash trained (still pulls a little bit), and e-collar trained (not shock collar). He has been around other dogs all of his life and children the last 3 years. He’s a great protector of the house and will make sure you know if someone is approaching. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you are interested in meeting this special boy

Story
Hi! My name is Cadence. I am a 4-year-old German/Anatolian Shepherd mix with big brown eyes and a heart of gold.I’m house and crate trained. I know sit and shake.  I adapt to just about any environment with a little bit of time.  Loud noises do not bother me.I love car rides and get so excited when we get to where we’re going, I try to climb into the front seat. I love tennis balls, squeakers, tug ropes, really any toy if you will play with me.  I love to be brushed. I love my chin and chest scratched. I love treats. I love praise.  You’ve probably figured out by now that I’m a lovebug.  My foster mom says I pick things up really fast, but I don’t always mind my manners.  I really enjoy walks but haven’t figured out why I need to be tethered to a human.  I pull in every direction at first because there’s so much to see and smell, and by the way, I am strong.  The foster humans are being patient and working with me but it’s going to take time to break my old habits.There’s a 5’ fence at my foster home and that keeps me safe, but I might be able to jump a shorter fence. Baby gates in the house are no match for me.  I’m right at home in a dog park.  My previous human couldn’t provide the care I needed so my ears got infected and are a little sensitive and scarred.   The veterinarian said we’ll have to keep a close watch for infections forever.  I’m close to 70 pounds.  I’m up to date on all my vaccinations.  I get along with everyone I meet, but I was a little bossy with my foster sister when we first met.  I barely notice the cat.  I like to rough house when playing and sometimes forget that I’m a little clumsy and bigger than everyone else.  I’m working on the basics of leash training and not jumping up when I’m excited with my foster family and am showing progress but still need some work.  My breed is known to be independent, intelligent, loving and loyal and I am all of that.Apply online or email russellrescuetn@gmail.com if already approved 4 yr old spayed German shepherd. 62#, adopted from animal control, vet told owner that she needed to treat her ears, owner said she would have to come back on payday… never saw her again. Cadence was later taken back to AC for euthanasia. Tech at AC couldn’t do it because cadence is so sweet… so they sent her to our clinic and dr evaluated her ears. She has suffered chronic untreated ear infections for who knows how long.. ear canals are cauliflowers and cadence will have to have ear exams abt every 6-8 weeks. We packed them w a two week treatment last week. Her ears are very sensitive, and she had to be sedated to treat them. She is a precious girl and doing well with her foster just after one day!Available dogs are met by pre-approved adopters ONLY after a match is made.The application is the first step.
