• “Hi, I’m Nya! I’m a sweet and playful girl who LOVES to run, sniff, and chase my soccer ball. I’m very good when I have space to roam, but I can’t be around other dogs. I’m happy to soak up the sunshine and spend time with my favorite people. Thanks for helping make my outings fun and safe!“

  — Morgan M.

• “I am a bratty bossy female gsd I am very protective of my loved ones so I can be reactive to dogs when they open their mouths first. I’m really a sweet girl but there’s this Minnie Regina George bully inside me that likes to come out sometimes. I do best with my pack bc they all know their place with me.“

  — Faith S.

• “Nya is a 2.5 year old German shepherd who loves to play. She is very active and loves to annoy her older dog brother by nipping at his legs. Since he’s a lot older, she doesn’t get to play with him like she wants. She loves to spend her time outside. Her favorite toy is a metal drinking bowl because it makes a lot of nose when it’s thrown. Nya had a very quirky personality and I’d definitely one of a kind.“

  — Richard K.

• “I think playing toys is the best thing ever! I want to play toys 24/7. Next up chasing, food, and family all tied for 2nd place! I'm a smart puppy and trained in nursing homes at 8-11 weeks then had to stay home and safe in my puppy fear stage so in a new place I get scared of bangs and sudden movements. Don't worry I'm a fast learner so people/places/things aren't unfamiliar for long! I give cuddles when I'm tired :) I'm trying to stay busy because my big sister just went to heaven and I'm a little lonely.“

  — Jen Y.

• “Hi, I’m Nya! All of my siblings, parents and grandparents for 9 generations are working police dogs, sport dogs, or service dogs. I was supposed to be a working dog but I don’t have a job. I spent the first 6 months of my life training with the Springfield police K9s but then stopped when my mom split up with the guy who had that connection. We joined a different K9 training group where we practiced obedience and agility for a couple years until my mom slipped and hurt her back and she had to have several surgeries. We are doing great now but we don’t have enough space to run and play and learn new skills.“
