Meet Walter ❤️
Walter is the kind of dog who has figured out what really matters in life: a cozy bed, a favorite person, and plenty of time to stop and sniff every interesting scent along the way.

This handsome senior still has a youthful sparkle and enjoys playtime, but he's also perfectly content spending his days keeping you company while you read, cook, garden, or binge-watch your favorite shows. If you're looking for a loyal shadow who just wants to be near you, Walter may be your guy.

Because of some age-related hip issues, Walter would love a home where he doesn't have to tackle lots of stairs. What he lacks in mobility, he more than makes up for in sweetness, gratitude, and charm.

After being found as a stray, Walter is ready to leave uncertainty behind and settle into a home where he can enjoy the comfort, stability, and love he deserves.

Snuggle Bug Expert!

Meet Max, a young shepherd mix (about 1–2 years old) with a heart that’s way too big for his body. This boy is all about love-cuddles, hugs, climbing into your lap, and soaking up every ounce of affection you’ve got.

Why he’s amazing:
• Sweet, social, and bonds quickly
• Dog‑friendly (tested with male & female)
• Crate trained
• Super smart! He already knows sit, down, and come
• Can relax for hours but also has plenty of energy for walks & play

Needs:
• Fenced yard
• Experienced dog owner
• Continued training

His foster family says he’s loving, goofy, people‑oriented, and an absolute gem. If you’ve got room in your heart, and your lap, Max is ready!

Meet Honey!

Honey is a sweet, gentle, 1 year old German Shepherd girl with a soft heart and a playful side just waiting to shine. This lovely girl thrives in a calm, structured home where she can settle in at her own pace. She’s naturally quiet and sensitive, and she will do best with a patient family who understands that building trust takes a little time. The reward is watching Honey’s personality bloom into the loving, happy dog she truly is.

One thing Honey absolutely loves is other dogs! She needs a playful medium or large canine companion in her forever home to help continue building her confidence and show her how fun life can be. Honey enjoys running, chasing, and playing with her dog friends and often follows their lead. She is housebroken and crate trained and has wonderful house manners. She would enjoy a home with a securely fenced yard (minimum 5-foot fence required) where she can safely stretch her legs and play.

With patience, consistency, and another confident dog by her side, Honey continues to gain confidence every day. She is truly a delightful dog who forms deep bonds with the people she loves. If you’re looking for a gentle companion and have a quieter home where Honey can feel secure, she may be the perfect addition to your family.

Sometimes we just have to stop questioning the world and do the right thing. In this case, that's finding this boy a home where he will be cherished and spoiled. Despite not getting a great start (to stay the least), "Nero" is a joyful, 2 year old, long-haired German Shepherd who is available through our friends at Blue Moon Shepherd Rescue.

BMSR has a separate adoption process which you can reach via the link in Nero's bio. Link to bio in comment section.
