ID #A2078191
8 month old Male German Shepherd Mix, Black / White
Intake weight: ~27.4 lbs
Intake date: 6/03/2026
Status: Rescue Only

BEHAVIOR SUMMARY
This is a fearful puppy. He displays defensive behaviors but once leashed, he can move through environments. Outside, he shows freezing behavior and minimal exploration, often sitting against walls or staying still due to fear.
Despite this, he is able to walk with guidance and does not escalate once distance is maintained. Behavior is consistent with an under-socialized puppy who has had very limited positive human exposure.

๐ He is still a babyโjust 8 months oldโand already living in fear instead of learning trust. Underneath the defensive behavior is a young dog who never got the chance to feel safe in the world. He needs rescue, patience, and time away from the stress that is overwhelming him right now.

Looking for a young, petite high energy gal? Meet Ruby. This girl is pretty high energy and always on the move.

She is a petite 29 pounds. ๏ฟผReading through her shelter notes you can see she is very wiggly and friendly. She isnโt the type of dog you can stick in a kennel all day.

Previous owner reported having Ruby for about a month and stated she was aggressive toward dogs, people, and the owner. Owner reported Ruby bit a citizen but did not break skin, became aggressive when moving, chewed through kennel barriers, and had escaped previously.
๐ ๐ฆ๐ต๐ฒ๐น๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ก๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐:
5/21/2026: Ruby was semi-tense in kennel with a low tail and whale eyes but allowed leashing. Walked calmly on a loose leash to and from the runs without issues.
5/23/2026: At the front of the kennel with a neutral body, Ruby eagerly allowed leashing. In the runs she displayed zoomies, playful bows, and a loose wiggly body. Returned to kennel on a loose leash and appeared interested in play and attention.
5/24/2026: Approached handlers with a wiggly body and walked on a loose leash. Enjoyed running with other dogs in the runs.
5/25/2026: Very wiggly and friendly. Responded well to baby talk and petting.
5/26/2026: Constantly vocalizing and jumping at the front of the kennel with a wiggly body. Walked on a semi-tight leash, greeted neighboring dogs, and returned to kennel without issues.
5/27/2026: Placed in outdoor run as a move-adopt candidate. Displayed a wiggly body and wagging tail but paced and vocalized. Walked on a tight leash while occasionally picking from trail treats. Continued vocalizing and jumping on kennel doors and walls once returned indoors.
5/28/2026: Constant vocalization while in kennel. Approached with a very wiggly body and accepted leashing, though she ignored treats. Continued pacing, jumping on doors and walls, and pulling kennel coverings through the door.
5/29/2026: Neutral body with soft mouth and erect tail. Pulled kennel coverings through the kennel door and required a barrier. Walked on a loose leash but became vocal while both indoors and outdoors.
5/31/2026 & 6/1/2026: Greeted handlers with a fast wagging tail and aroused demeanor. Allowed leashing and walked on a tight leash to and from the potty yard. Inside her kennel she could be heard alarm barking when someone entered.
6/2/2026: Jumped on the kennel door with a wiggly body while greeting handlers. Allowed leashing and walked tightly to and from the potty yard. Inside kennel she continued alarm barking.

CHUCK #A2077106 โข CHARLIE #A2077104 โข CHARLOTTE #A2077105
11-Week-Old Staffordshire Mix Puppies โข
Intake date: 5/27/2026
Status: Rescue only
โธป
Medical Notes:
These three young siblings arrived together as part of a family of stray dogs roaming the area with their mother and father. All have received age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming, flea prevention, and basic medical care. Chuck tested negative for parvo, and Charlie was noted to possibly have bilateral cryptorchidism. Otherwise, the puppies appear physically healthy but are extremely undersocialized and struggling in the shelter environment.
โธป
Behavior Summary:
Chuck, Charlie, and Charlotte are frightened babies who have likely had very little positive human interaction. Staff describe them as skittish, trying to hide behind or underneath one another when approached. When handled, they flinch, avoid eye contact, tuck their tails tightly, and become tense.
These puppies are leaning on each other for comfort and are clearly overwhelmed by the noise, handling, and stress of shelter life. They need experienced rescue placement where they can safely decompress, learn to trust people, and receive the socialization every puppy deserves.

๐ Chuck, Charlie, and Charlotte are just 11 weeks old. These scared puppies have known survival, not security, and their fear is growing in the shelter. With patient rescue support, they can learn that people are safe and grow into confident, loving companions. Please help save these siblings and give them the chance to experience the childhood every puppy deserves.

๐Medical Notes:
All puppies in this litter have received initial shelter intake care including vaccinations (DA2PP, Bordetella, Rabies), deworming, and flea prevention. They are medically stable at this time with no reported illness. These puppies are young, under-socialized, and likely from an uncontained breeding situation based on intake notes describing multiple dogs on-site and a mother repeatedly reproducing.
โธป
๐พBehavior Notes:
This litter of puppies is extremely fearful and highly stressed in the shelter environment. On intake and during handling, they were observed huddling tightly together, growling, huffing, and alarm barking when approached. While scared, they are still handleableโstaff were able to pick them up individually and move them safely, and some showed brief softening such as tail wagging or accepting gentle touch when calm.

โข Handling requires patience due to fear and uncertainty

Status: Foster or Rescue only
โธป
๐Medical Notes:
Tater has experienced multiple health challenges since intake, including lethargy, poor appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, and thick green nasal discharge consistent with suspected canine infectious respiratory disease (CIRD).

ID #A2075362
Male โข Black Labrador Retriever Mix โข 10 months old, DOB 7/17/2025
Intake Date: 5/17/2026
โธป
Medical Notes:
* Approximately 53 lbs
* Heartworm negative
* Vaccinated (DA2PP, Rabies, Bordetella)
* Dewormed
* No major medical concerns noted at this time
* Intact male
โธป
Behavior Summary:
Milo consistently greets staff with a wiggly body, wagging tail, soft facial expressions, and an open mouth. He enjoys interaction and enrichment and often settles better when given something appropriate to keep him occupied. Staff note that he can relax on his blanket with a soft face after activity.
As a young, high-energy puppy, Milo is having a difficult time in the kennel environment. He pulls hard on leash, jumps up excitedly, paws at kennel doors, and destroys bedding or loose items when bored or frustrated. Despite this, his behavior reads as immature puppy energy and kennel stress rather than aggression. He remains social, responsive to attention, and eager for stimulation and activity.

What a sweet, sweet boy Charlie is despite everything heโs gone through. He has such confidence about himself. When I approached him in his kennel, he came right up. He was so easily leashed. He walked wonderfully on his leash. He is definitely treat motivated. Everyone he walked by he wanted to greet. He walked by a few dogs with no reaction at all. Itโs so sad that heโs only 10 months old and has been through all that he has. In his notes they say that they believe that his eye injury is on purpose. I didnโt see an eye injury however I did see a little bit of drainage from the one eye but not excessive. It was just slight drainage. He does have quite a bit of issues with his skin though. He wasnโt itching or anything and it didnโt seem to bother him at all heโs such a cutie patootie and I know heโll be even cuter once his hair grows back. Heโs so young and I hope he gets to experience what it is to be loved and cared for.
