Timber

Timber update 3-28-2025:

Timber is such a good mom to her pups! She is almost done with her duties so we are beginning to look for her forever family.

  • 2 years old

  • Super people friendly and good with children!

  • She loves to play fetch and is toy obsessed, but will destroy the stuffies!

  • Be prepared with Bark Box super chewer or Kong toys!

  • She tested well with another female GSD at the shelter though we haven't tested her further yet.

  • No cats or small animals

Her perfect home would be someone who is home a lot with a big fenced in yard for fetch! 

She is such a beautiful girl and really deserves a wonderful home. Could it be you?

We love this girl dearly and want nothing but the best for her! We are looking for a foster to adopt home pending her spay at the end of April. Her days of puppy producing are over and it's time for her to be LOVED by her very own person or family! Please SHARE our girl! Adoptions are so slow right now and we cannot take in anymore Shepherds until Timber and Xavier have homes!

Timber is a beautiful, dark sable girl who was surrendered to a shelter pregnant. She was very sweet and friendly with us and tested well with other dogs at the shelter.

Timber's puppies were born on March 1,2025, 3 healthy little boys and 3 healthy little girls! What a special litter - born on the day 5 planets aligned in the evening sky! When this gorgeous mama is done raising her pups in about 8 weeks, we will be looking for a home for her as well as her babies. We are so excited and feel so blessed to assist Timber and her pups on this journey!

Their names are Cherry, Koa, Bonsai, Cypress, Peach, and Mango.

Shelby (in foster to adopt home, not currently available)

Thank you all for the name suggestions, meet Shelby! About 5 minutes after we met her she broke out into the cutest zoomies! This 3 1/2 month old little girl is very active and friendly. Like most puppies, she will take work and patience!

Please remember, pups cannot be left alone for more than 4 hours. We prefer someone be home most of the time. We do require her new family to sign up for obedience classes with a certified trainer. We want our puppies to have the best start in life and training classes are a great way to socialize and bond with your puppy! Our vet is in Jacksonville, Florida so Shelby must stay in the Jacksonville area. Shelby is available on a foster to adopt basis until her spay is completed.

If interested, submit an application on our website.

Update:

What a big day for little Shelby! We took her to our local pet store and she was such a good girl! She didn't even try to take anything! Shelby loves meeting people, children and other dogs! She's a confident girl who is not scared of loud noises or the automatic doors !

  • 3 1/2 months old

  • NOT completely house trained

  • Learning the leash

  • Loves people, kids and other dogs!

  • Very playful and energetic!

  • Still working on crate training

Puppies are a lot of work because they require patience and commitment to be the best they can be! Shelby is available on a foster to adopt basis pending spay and will need to stay in the Jacksonville area for vetting. Please visit our website to submit an application.
