BEAR #392756, Breed: German Shepherd  male 1 yr 6 mths 67 lbs
 
*Gets Along with Dogs 
 
Hi, I'm Bear! 🐻 I am a young, handsome German Shepherd with a heart of gold, a razor-sharp mind, and a massive desire to learn! 🧠 True to my breed, I am incredibly smart and live to have a job to do. 💼 I am a total sweetheart with people and absolutely love my human friends. 🥰 I am looking for a handler who loves training as much as I do, because I thrive when we work together as a team! 📈 Because I'm still young and learning how to navigate the world, I do have a few quirks that need a patient guide. 🧭 I struggle with barrier reactivity, which just means I get frustrated or anxious when I see things through fences, windows, or on a leash. 🐕 I can also be a bit choosy about my canine classmates, so I would love to be your one-and-only dog or match with a very specific, balanced pup. 🐾 If you are an experienced dog owner looking for a loyal, brilliant partner to train and bond with, I'm ready to be your boy! 🎒
 

 

"HARPER" playful, energetic LABRADOODLE *good on leash* "MCAS"

 POOR dog can't catch a break...Harper has been rehomed - short stays-too many times, and she is understandably nervous  about strangers handling her too much - and now she is scared of the Vet and Groomers (which is why she was most recently returned)  She needs someone who can work with her on this (note, she is the type of Poodle mix that requires clipping.)

*ok kids 12 and up
 
 Meet Harper (formerly known as Chloe), a joyful 4-year-old Labradoodle who is the ultimate "loyal sidekick" and adventure buddy! 🐾 This smart girl is professionally trained in commands like sit, heel, and stay, making her a dream companion for camping, paddleboarding, and river hikes. 🚣‍♂️ While she's a social butterfly, she is truly dreaming of a home with a big, fenced yard where she can finally have the space she deserves to run and play. 🏡 Harper is a total sweetheart who greets you with "hugs" at the door when she is comfortable with you, though she does require a breed-savvy owner to manage her grooming needs every 6-8 weeks routinely. 🐩 If you have a heart full of love and a yard for her to zoom in, Harper will be the most devoted, cuddly best friend you've ever had! ✨

Hi, I'm Roxy! 🐾 My tail is currently wagging at maximum speed just thinking about meeting you! 💨I am a gorgeous adult Pitbull with a heart of pure gold and a smile that lights up the room. 🥰 If you are looking for a total sweetheart who loves everyone she meets, I am your girl! My tail never stops thumping against the floor when my humans are around, and I am always ready to shower you with kisses and lean in for all the full-body cuddles. 🛌While I have endless love for my human friends, I do have a couple of preferences when it comes to the animal kingdom. 🚫 I definitely do not do well with cats, so a feline-free home is an absolute must for me. 🐈❌ I can also be a bit picky when choosing my dog friends, so I would love to be your solo queen or meet any potential dog siblings first to see if our vibes match. 🐕 If you have a cat-free castle and a couch big enough for two, I'm ready to move in! 🏰
