All of the animals posted on our site have been temperament tested. While not all are in the immediate area, once we have processed and approved your application, we will move the dog to our adoptive area for you to meet, greet and hopefully adopt. Sometimes we will have more than one application on a dog. That does not mean it automatically goes to another family but you should be aware of the fact that until you are approved and set up for the meet/greet.. the dog could get adopted by another applicant.

Killian is so young, so full of life, such a beautiful example of a German shepherd! He has no idea that he has any disabilities. While his hearing is somewhat compromised, and his sight is a bit skewed, giving him little depth perception, he loves to play and he has an excellent nose, meaning he can find a piece of kibble on a football field! He was the last born of a large litter in a difficult birth and needed oxygen for his first couple of days. He could easily find his milk, but holding on was a different matter, so he was helped by his mama and foster mama. Everyone worried that he might not make it, but Killian had something we didn't know about. Killian wanted to live! And live he did, to grow into the wonderful puppy that he is now. Smart, and learning new things every day, like being house trained, how to sit on command (hand signals, since he would have trouble hearing verbals), but most of all, he has that legendary shepherd loyalty. He needs a person to adore. It would be perfect for him to have a person who is home a lot, so he can bond to you and be near you, making him feel safe. We are hoping to find him a home with people willing to work with his limitations, a fenced yard, to keep him safe, and some experience with a large dog, because Killian is growing into a big, sturdy boy. Stairs are very difficult for him, as he can't tell where they start and stop. So, few, if any steps would be ideal. Our rescue has gotten him an MRI to identify the extent and placement of his disabilities, so his new family will know as much as possible about what to expect now and in the future. We have also had him evaluated by a professional behaviorist, who fell immediately in love with him. Her evaluation stated that "He needs to go to a home that has had experience with dogs, that is kind and attentive to his needs."
Killian waits now for the right family to come along for him. Handsome, loving, and playful, he is ready to go out into the world and enjoy! If you believe you are the right family for our guy, let us know. Be prepared for the love of your life! He's that kind of dog.
A SPECIAL NOTE TO YOU FROM Killian: 
I love to play ball and I'm really good at bringing it back, too!  I've pretty much caught on to  housebreaking and I do keep my crate clean, both day and night.  I'm a good sleeper, too. No midnight trips to the  yard for me! Oh, and did I mention that I like playing with my fur siblings? When I am not sure what to do next, sometimes I watch them, and then I know! I am really hoping to have a family of my own to love. Could you be that family? I am waiting for you.
