About Kayah - pending adoption

 

Kayah is a young (about 1 year old) black and tan German Shepherd who gave birth to her 5 puppies on the streets of Quitman County, GA and was brought to the shelter there just hours after all the puppies were born. She was traumatized with a catch pole and was hiding in the corner of her shelter kennel, avoiding contact with anyone.
Once transported to our rescue, she started taking care of her puppies but she is very reserved when it comes to people. Her puppies recently left the nest and she is now in a foster home in Palm Coast, FL, which she shares with multiple other dogs. She was also cat tested at one point and she was very afraid of the cat.
Kayah is very reserved when it comes to people, including her foster mom who has been taking care of her for four months now. Although she seems to enjoy being petted and spoiled, she does not initiate contact or attention and she will hide when a stranger comes around. She seems to gain some confidence from another playful dog in the same house so we are looking for a home with another dog for her, but keep in mind that a dog introduction will have to be done in steps due to Kayah's fears. A perfect home for her would be low key, with no small children and someone who has the time and patience to show her some structure and help her gain some confidence. We do require a secure 6 foot fence for her to ensure that she does not try to get out if spooked by loud noises.
Her adoption fee is $250.

 

About Rex 

 

Rex is a 2 year old, dark sable male (working lines) and he is in a foster home in Edgewater, FL. He was originally purchased in Slovakia by a law enforcement agency but did not make it through training and that's how he ended up on our rescue. He also had some complications after his neuter surgery but is now medically cleared and ready for a forever home.

Rex has a goofy and loving personality and will make a wonderful family pet but he does have a strong prey drive and a high energy level so we are looking for a family who is familiar with working dogs and has the knowledge to continue his obedience training.
He is in a foster home with other large dogs, but he likes to play rough so a meet and greet with another dog is a must. His adoption fee is $250.
