Mom is about 1.5-2 years old
She was a stray/dumped dog that had puppies while in my care

She is fine with my little poodle but barked at a friend's cats. She likes children but would do best in a quieter home.

Pups are 8weeks old.

"Desperately seeking a loving home for our boy Archie. He is 2 years old, vaccines up to date, still intact. Born in Jan/2024.
We live in a mini home park and a few months ago, there was an unfortunate incident which we are now being forced to remove Archie from the property. He was let outside to greet a family friend, and one of our gates was open. When he got outside, he saw a little dog walking by with its owner. He ran out to greet the dog. Attempted to sniff dogs butt (as dogs do) the little dog nipped at Archie and Archie nipped back. Archie was unscathed, but little pup suffered a small puncture wound. Archie being the bigger boy (and the breed that he is) is being painted as the bad guy.
Archie is a big loving boy. But he does need training. He gets excited seeing other doggies but he has not been properly socialized. He shows food aggression when eating from his bowl or eating a treat if you get too close to his head. But he will eat out of your hand and he is a bit of a diva and oftentimes needs you to sit next to him when eating his breakfast or supper. LOVES bum scratches and leg scratches. He is treat and toy motivated. He is crate trained. He loves people of any size but he is not a gentle giant, more of a clumsy oaf so we always kept him on a leash when if was going to be around kids. We had cats when he was younger and he wanted to play with them but they didn't like him so they stayed clear.
He knows clear commands as sit, down, paw. We have never owned a German shepherd before and he likely needs someone that is familiar with the breed so he is properly trained to be even a better boy than he already is. But mostly we just want someone to love him as much as we do."

The home he is in now she has an older dog and they play great . And has 2 cats abd a kitten. She has a five year old daughter that he loves and she has kids in every now and then . No issues.

Very timid I believe that came with his upbringing off where we got him. But also my daughter lives alone so not much socializing or getting out.
She has to move and she has her other dog . The landlord will only take one dog.

RIVER, is looking for a home. Hes a 10 month old Dutch Sheppard. He prefers females with a soft touch. He needs consistency and some obedience but is very smart and loving. He requires a home that understands working dogs and has experience with training.
He gets along well with our female malinois and is respectful of the cat.
He walks on a leash but can pull, not ripping your arm out just needs some practice.
I will be very picky about where he goes. Vetting appointment will be booked for next week. He is only 10 months so is not neutered yet.
Please pm me if interested.
There is no adoption fee to the right home.

URGENT REHOMING SITUATION ‼️ please share
NOVA SCOTIA
Must be German shepherd experienced
(Courtesy Posting) )

KODA is a 5 neutered male German Shepherd. He is a puppy at heart he is very playful, loves tug-of-war, gutting his stuffies and chasing a squeaky tennis ball. After playing he wants to crash and have all the cuddles, he’ll be vocal and let you know when he’s ready for the pets to stop. He loves all people, he greats every person like his new best friend. He can be very energetic and not realize his own size trying to tackle someone to say hi at the door. We have worked on him staying on all 4 paws but he sometimes gets ahead of himself.

He has unfortunately been attacked multiple times on our walks by unleashed dogs causing to him to have fear aggression towards other animals and people while on walks.

We have been working with koda on leash training and he has been progressing well.

Koda loves to play and be outside but also knows how to be lazy with his people.

Koda is up to date on his shots newly neutered and we have done some work in training him with commands. He really is so smart, sweet and has an eagerness to learn

Koda would work best with a family with no small children as he still learning his own size , though he is very friendly with children in the home.
Koda has a high prey drive and will chase after cats though we have worked on desensitizing him with scents and sound.

Prior to koda being attacked on walks he was very friendly and playful towards other dogs and we believe with slow introductions and training he may be able to homes with other dogs.

Update: Adopted!

🚨 IMMEDIATE FOSTER NEEDED: RIVER 🚨

We are on a time crunch and need an amazing person to foster River, a 3.5-year-old female German Shepherd (60 lbs), ASAP! River is affectionate, loyal, and intelligent, and she loves spending time with her people. She is great with children (may jump when excited), has lived with other dogs, cats and livestock, and would thrive in a calm, structured home with patient guidance.

River is housetrained, crate trained, and knows basic commands like sit, stay, down, come, and heel. She responds best to positive reinforcement, daily exercise, mental enrichment, and ongoing structure to help her flourish.

This smart, devoted girl would do best in a quieter home with slow, controlled introductions to new people and pets. With the right foster family, River will have the support she needs to reach her full potential and prepare for her forever home.

💖 If you think you can help, please reach out today so we can give this beautiful girl the chance to start her next chapter in life. Submit a foster application at shaidanimalshelter.com and email [email protected] with any questions.

📢 Please share this post to help River find her foster family!
