Enzo 🐾 English Shepherd mix, he is about 9 months old and weighs 48#. He was trapped running around the country with a few friends, who have yet to be caught. Enzo is a great dog! He takes a minute to warm up to new people, but once he does, he is a lover and a spunk! He loves to spend his days on the couch or laying in his bed. He is great with other calm dogs around his size or smaller, he’s a bit scared of bigger more high energy dogs, but when introduced slowly he will make friends.  He is potty trained with a strict schedule, and doesn’t potty in his kennel at all. Enzo would do best in a home with a fenced in yard so he can run around and play ( he loves the zoomies). We have been working on leash training, he’s come a long way! He will also come when called, or whistled for. He has done great with the 2 year old baby in the family. Ignores cats when he is around them. Enzo is a very laid back easy going boy, and will make the right lucky family VERY happy!! You must live within an hour of Elkhart or Plymouth to adopt Enzo.

Meet Gerty. She’s looking for a forever home! Gerty came to us in December 2021. She has been in our care the longest and we are finally listing her for adoption after many months of her foster parents working with her. If you remember, Gerty came to us from Marshall county shelter after being humanely trapped. She was living with 18 other dogs in a hoarding house and her living conditions were horrendous! I am attached a video. She has a story to tell and came to us a feral dog. True feral. You don’t see it very often but her lack of socialization is what has taken so long to get her ready. When we first got her you couldn’t touch her. She handles being touched now to put her leash and harness on her and the occasional pets. She also boops your legs from behind to get your attention. While she doesn’t seek out attention all the time she is learning to want that. Gerty is just over a year old and about 40 lbs. Gerty is definitely a dogs dog. For that reason she needs a home with another dog. Or several. She is very dog savvy. She loves to play and is still a puppy. Gerty also requires a secure fenced in yard. She’s housebroken and crate trained. Her foster parents also say she acts cat like. We hope to continue Gertys classes and socialization to help her become a well rounded dog. This is a special dog with special needs seeking special placement. She’s an easy keeper and we hope that someone out there is willing to love her! She is so funny and totally silly and would make a great addition to any family!   show less

PLEASE READ HER BIO BEFORE APPLYING. LINK IS AT THE BOTTOM. Gypsy was found as a stray earlier this year. When she was caught, we could tell that she had puppies recently. After searching for 24 hours she led us to a remote piece of property and down into a fox hole where 7 puppies were located. They were about 4 weeks old and little chunky butts. Gypsy cleaned, fed and took care of them down in a small hole that provided no daylight. Very impressive! All of her puppies have since been adopted out and we have continued to work with Gypsy and help her become a well rounded dog. She likes most dogs and is super playful. She prefers to be a couch potato and seems to love her crate where you can find her passing time sleeping or chewing on her bone. She does great with kids who are respectful of her space.  Gypsy still needs help with socialization of new people and we hope that her new owners will continue those classes with her. Gypsy loves to go for car rides and play with toys. Gypsy has been spayed, microchipped, vaccined, HW negative and on prevention and she comes with a GPS tracking collar. If you are interested and live within an hour of Elkhart please submit an application. Www.trackingintheshadows.com show less
