Story

Update from foster :” Queenie is a big love bug: loves attention and pets. She is great in a crate and making good progress walking nicely on a leash. She is very content to hang out in the yard, taking in the spring smells. She’s slower to warm up to other people but with proper introductions will be just as warm with them. She loves playing with other dogs and wants to say hi to all of them! ” Introducing Queenie, the majestic 2-year-old German Shepherd from Okanogan County, whose super fluffy coat and warm heart are sure to capture yours. Queenie has come a long way from her past, having lived with both kids and other dogs, where she's shown she can be an excellent family member. About Queenie: Breed: German Shepherd Age: 2 years Gender: Female (Spayed) Appearance: Super Fluffy Personality: Queenie is great with people; her friendly nature makes her a joy to be around. However, she's been through a significant adjustment period, which has impacted her confidence. She would thrive in a patient home where she can rebuild her self-assurance at her own pace. Socialization: With Dogs: She has a history of living harmoniously with other dogs. With Kids: Queenie has experience with children and interacts well with them. With People: Very sociable, though she might initially be cautious due to her past. Special Considerations: Separation Anxiety: Queenie experiences some anxiety when left alone, indicating she would do best in a home where someone is frequently present or where her alone time can be gradually increased. Confidence Building: She'll need an understanding and patient family to help her regain her confidence, with positive reinforcement training and lots of love. Ideal Home: Queenie is looking for a home that can provide: Companionship: A family that's around often, helping her manage her separation anxiety. Patience: Understanding that her adjustment might take time, with gentle guidance to help her thrive. Space: A yard where she can roam and play would be ideal, keeping her engaged and happy. Why Queenie? With her fluffy fur and loving heart, Queenie is not just looking for a home; she's looking for a place where she can once again feel like royalty. She promises loyalty, love, and the companionship of a true shepherd, provided she's given the time and environment to flourish. Interested in welcoming Queenie into your life?

Story

Ruston is a 4 year old German Sheppard. We had him since he was an 8 week old puppy. We love him so much, unfortunately our schedule has just become too busy. We have a two year old running around here, and we just dont have the time to go on hikes with him anymore. He does great with children, cats and other dogs. He has basic house trained knowledge. Were looking for someone with a nice backyard for him to roam freely or someone that can be active with him. He loves to please and has a heart of a puppy. If you would like to meet him, please let us know! -Adan Martinez
