About dogs named North

• “North is opinionated, energetic and sweet. He enjoys other dogs, but hasn’t learned the best manners from his previous encounters. He has some training, but still thinks about whether or not to listen with each command.“

  — Amy F.

• “Hi I’m North! I was just adopted from a rescue that saved me from euthanasia at the shelter. I’m about 3 years old, medium energy. I love to explore and play fetch. I’m great with dogs but I’m timid around people.“

  — Jordan W.

• “I’m not dog or human friendly, and I’m super active and love chasing squirrels, birds, and toys!“

  — Ella H.

• “North is a 60 pound black love who loves puzzle games, runs, and anything involving peanut butter! He is a super friendly pooch, loves people, and loves other dogs. If he gets too excited, he sometimes tries to jump up on people to say hello and give licks--which we are training him not to do!“

  — Giancarlo A.

• “I love to train and I love to play but when ever I see another dog I feel defensive. I haven’t had the best interaction with other pets having dogs and cats attack me as a pup. I’m also a bit shy with humans but give me some time and space I love to be around them! Toss me a ball to gain my trust even faster !“

  — Anndy E.

• “North is a silly, nervous girl who loves to run but does not have a fence at home.“

  — Jennifer M.

• “Ah, I’m an adventurous German Shepherd and I love when my momma brings me with her on all her adventures! I’m a long hair dark sable GS…so many times momma gets asked if I’m a wolf or a mixed breed. Nope, I’m the biggest baby but tough exterior GS. We go hiking in the Shenandoah and anywhere she can find that’s fun, we explore new places together so anytime momma says “Are you ready to adventure?” I know that means a car ride to somewhere fun!!“

  — Christine B.

• “North is a German Shepherd/Pit mix. He is neutered, 3 years old, loves to run, play with balls and catch. He weighs about 60 pounds but gets along with small dogs and big dogs. He's looking for a new friend since his best friend moved to Texas.“

  — Angela B.

• “I am a 4 year old pit mix that was adopted from Franklin County Dog Shelter! I am extremely energetic and love to chase balls. I make friends with every dog I meet.“
