MILO
Milo is a three year old German Shepherd.
He is neutered, microchipped and will receive his first set of vaccinations prior to going to his new home. He enjoys working hard and aims to please his handlers. He is incredibly smart and picks up training very quick. He enjoys treats but his biggest motivator is his ball.
While on walks Milo likes to pick out the biggest stick he can find! He will show it off to everyone he meets. Milo will need lots of training to become a good boy on leash walks and a very strong person to handle him.
Milo really enjoys his pets especially on his chest and belly!
His handlers are currently working with Milo and teaching him the basics. He will require an owner that will be devoted to continuing it.
Milo is very powerful and will need someone who can handle a dog of his size and is very familiar with his breed. This is a working line German Shepherd and he has dog reactivity so the person adopting will also have to be willing to work with. Preference will be given to anyone who can give Milo a job or prove they have the skills necessary to take on such a powerful boy.

Gemma
A Sweet Soul Looking for a Safe Haven
Say hello to Gemma, a 2.5-year-old spayed female Siberian husky cross with a tender heart and a deep need for a calm, loving home.
Gemma has anxiety around most new situations and unfamiliar people. Busy environments, can make her nervous. But with time, patience, and consistency, she begins to relax and truly shows her gentle, affectionate nature. Once she feels safe and connected, she becomes loyal and loving —a true companion.
Due to her anxiety, Gemma isn’t suited to a home with small children or other animals at this time. She may be able to live with other pets in the future, but that will require slow introductions, structure, and proper training.
She would thrive in a quiet calm, low-stress home with people who enjoy exercise and are experienced adopters who can go slow and support her journey. A fenced yard and a predictable routine would go a long way in helping her feel secure.
Needs a quiet, adult-only home (no small children) and best as the only pet for now.
Anxious in new situations but warms up beautifully with time. She is loyal, sweet, and worth the patience. She is eager to please!
Gemma is a special girl looking for a special person. If you believe in second chances and understand that healing takes time, Gemma will reward you with her whole heart.
