HANDSOME GERMAN SHEPHERD REMY 🐾

At 4 years old and 90 pounds, Remy is easygoing canine companionship when he's in a home. Completely housebroken, mannered, and eager to please, this stunning boy is a true 90-lb cuddle bug!

However, kennel life is tough, and Remy is starting to feel down. The shelter environment has brought out a more rambunctious, spunky side—he’s got pent-up energy and frustration, meaning he doesn't greet well right at first when cooped up. He desperately needs a spot to call his own with folks who can provide structure, stimulation, and a break from the noise.

German Shepherd, 4 years old, 90 lbs
Housebroken & eager to please
Dog Friendly? Yes
(No Cats).
Remy was set to enter a foster home recently, but the spot heartbreakingly fell through at the last minute due to a resident feline. If you have a cat-free home and you can give Remy the break from shelter life he so desperately needs. He will need structure and regular attention.

💬 Interested in fostering or adopting Remy? Send us a message or fill out an application today to help this sweet boy decompress!.

IF YOU'VE GOT SPACE TO ROAM AND PATIENCE TO SPARE, CHECK OUT THESE TWO NEEDY PUPS!

BONDED PAIR JAMES AND BONNIE NEED A PLACE TO ROAM! 🐾
If you follow our page regularly, you might remember that Hope from Off Leash K9 Training recently volunteered her time to evaluate some of our longer-term dogs to help them find their forever homes. One of the duos she spent time with was James and Bonnie.

Their story is heartbreaking: James and Bonnie came from a hoarding situation in Kentucky. When their owner passed away, his wife simply opened the gate and left them to fend for themselves. They managed to survive as strays for nine months and were two of the last to be safely captured.

We knew they carried past trauma and anxiety, and that they leaned heavily on each other for comfort. After her evaluation, Hope confirmed what we suspected: they are a strictly bonded pair, and separating them would be devastating.

🏡 WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR:
We need a special adopter with a farm or a large fenced-in yard who is willing to give these sweet souls the space and time they deserve.

Breed: Border Collie / Australian Shepherd mixes

Age: 4 years old

Weight: James is ~37 lbs; Bonnie is ~27 lbs

Personality: They are fearful around strangers and look to one another for comfort and confidence in any unfamiliar situation.

With patience, understanding, and room to run, these two can finally leave kennel life behind and thrive.

❤️ Please share this post to help James and Bonnie find the safe haven they’ve been waiting for!

COWBOY NEEDS OUR HELP WITH A NEW SPIN ON THE CANINE COMEBACK PROGRAM, TRAINING-AND-FOSTER

HE HAS A FANTASTIC FOSTER MOM WHO IS COMMITTED TO TAKING HIM TO LESSONS, REINFORCING WHAT HE'S LEARNING AT HOME AND WILLING TO PUT IN THE TIME AND EFFORT TO GET THIS GREAT BOY THE PERFECT HOME HE DESERVES

The Canine Comeback Project: Training-and-Foster
Finding loving homes for dogs who have been in rescue the longest often requires extra care, patience, and tailored training. That is why we are so excited to introduce a new branch of our Canine Comeback Project! By teaming up once again with Off Leash K9 Training, we have developed a hybrid training-and-foster pathway:

Dedicated Foster Commitment: A committed foster caregiver takes the dog into their home and attends professional training sessions twice a week for 8 weeks.
Daily Reinforcement: Between professional sessions, the foster reinforces the training daily in a real home setting.
Cost-Effective Impact: At a fraction of the cost of a full Board & Train, this option allows us to stretch donation dollars further and help more long-stay rescue dogs who need extra guidance.
Many of our longest-stay dogs simply don’t fit into the typical "cookie-cutter" expectations of a standard household right away. With this dedicated, hands-on support, we can bridge that gap and set these deserving dogs up for long-term success with future adopters.
Say hello to Cowboy, a gorgeous 2-year and 8-month-old Australian Shepherd with eyes that will melt your heart!Cowboy is bright, loving, and a total "ladies' man." However, living in the real world means encountering things outside his comfort zone—like passing cars, darting squirrels, and new people (especially men). Since he can’t live in a world surrounded only by women forever, we’re setting him up for long-term success through our new Hybrid Foster & Training Pathway!How Cowboy’s Journey Works:

🐾 Dedicated Foster Care: Cowboy is moving into a dedicated foster home with a loving foster mom who is fully committed to his growth.
🎓 Professional Guidance: Together with Off Leash K9 Training, Cowboy and his foster mom will attend professional training lessons twice a week for 8 weeks.
🏡 Real-World Practice: Every day between lessons, his foster mom will reinforce his training in a real home setting to help him learn that cars, squirrels, and new guys aren't so scary after all!
By combining dedicated home care with professional lesson-based training, we’re giving Cowboy the exact tools he needs to build confidence and become a well-rounded companion. But we need your help! Please help by donating anything you can to help Cowboy find a new home after spending 1.5 years of his life in a kennel!

OH ASTEROID!

Guess who's back from foster for being a bit too rambunctious and needy? (It's not a bad thing, but when your foster mom works from home and you're a very needy boy who howls and cries anytime you're out of her sight, it can be a bit much). Asteroid has been around other dogs all his life and had a hard time adjusting to being alone. So, another energetic dog and an active family is just what this wild child needs!
Asteroid is 1 year old, 27lbs, UTD on vaccinations, neutered, and microchipped.
