Sweet Hannah who is part of our Forever Friends foster program got a new bed but hasn't quite figured out how to use it yet. She's such a silly girl.

Last weeks training day for Stryker. Another session in Central Park. The smartest dog we've ever worked with, learning self-control and off leash work in a "target-rich" environment of small, medium, large dogs and lots of squirrels. Stryker is a young and handsome Dutch Shepherd. So why hasn't he been adopted yet? We just don't get it.

***CROSSPOST FOR RESCUE RIDGE ***
This is Kona! He is a 7-year-old neutered German Shepherd who is up to date on all his shots and vet checks and has been taken the very best care of. He was adopted as a rescue three and a half years ago and has lived with his family in a home with a fenced in yard. Kona doesn’t care for other pets and is dog reactive. He has some initial social anxiety but is calmed by his people’s reassurance and confidence. After being introduced, he loves people and just wants to feel safe and seen, leaning in and giving kisses once he knows he is loved.

Kona is best in a home with adults or older children, and is crate trained and housebroken. He loves to explore his yard and enjoys company while he is outside and running around. He loves his people and enjoys snuggling on the couch with them and playing with his toys. His previous owner worked with him constantly and he loves to work for positive praise, yummy treats, and belly rubs. He is loyal beyond belief and is extremely smart and able to learn anything that his owner is committed to teaching. The sky is the limit when it comes to training this boy.

Kona is a very special pup that needs a special family with lots of love and patience to help him feel safe and loved. He gives 100% of all that love back! Kona is in search of his new home due to an unfortunate split of his current owners. If you are looking for an awesome German Shepherd with all the quirky qualities that come along with it, Kona is your dream boy! If you show him love, patience and kindness he will reward you with loyalty and companionship that you’ve never felt before. Thank you for opening your hearts and homes to the sweetest GSD you will ever meet.

Submit an adoption application at RescueRidge.com . If your application is a possible match, a Rescue Ridge volunteer will contact you. Be sure to tell them Sedona sent you!

Kylie and Hannah have been inseparable best friends for 11 years, navigating life’s ups and downs together. After losing their owner to cancer, they came to Sedona Shepherd, seeking a loving home for their golden years. In January, they joined the Sedona Forever Friends Foster Program, where they would never be separated and Sedona would take care of all their needs for the rest of their lives..

Just a week into foster care, Kylie faced a health crisis due to diabetes, requiring a costly emergency hospital stay. Thanks to her foster mom, Emily, Kylie received life-saving treatment, but expenses are substantial and continue to rise.

Help Sedona achieve our goal to ensure that Kylie receives the ongoing care & support that will allow her to reclaim her joyful spirit.

At Sedona Shepherd, we carefully consider our requests for financial assistance, reserving it for special cases like Kylie’s, that truly need extra support. Help us continue to help Kylie!

He is just your everyday good looking German Shepherd. That's our boy Jasper. Give him a big toy and he is ready to go for a nice long walk or a lot of back and forth playing fetch. Jasper is an all around friendly dog with people. For the most part he will ignore other dogs and has spent time in a home with other dogs. Jasper is simply looking for a nice landing spot with a nice family. He is crate trained, trustworthy in a house, and loves affection.

Since our founding, Sedona Shepherd has rescued and placed 15 bonded pairs of German Shepherds. Help us make it 16, with Joker and Harley. These two would like nothing better than a nice big yard to roam around and goof off in. Although not from the same litter, Joker and Harley have been together since they were born. At 5 years old, it would be impossible to separate these two. They have lived with children most of their lives and love meeting new people. They are currently part of our referral program and live in Morris County. Let's make it 16 bonded pairs and give these two best buddies the new home they need.

Everyone has that friend who lights up the room when they arrive. Well at Sedona we have that as well with Sasha. This beautiful German Shepherd (with a little bit of Mal to add to the fun) just loves to bring joy and happiness to the party. Sasha loves her toys, especially the soft plush rabbits. She is healthy, active and ready to show off her smarts and athleticism. Sasha is about 5 to 7 years old. She is trust worthy in a home and good with people of all ages. Though she apparently did live with an older shepherd at one point, Sasha would be best as the only dog in the house. Come meet Sasha and whether you bring your running shoes or party shoes, Sasha will be ready.

We might have been a little quiet this past week on social media, but not behind the scenes. To catch everyone up, it's the Six Days of Sedona. Each day featuring an adoptable and lovable Sedona Shepherd dog. Today it's BIG WHITE FLUFFY SHEPHERD day. Featuring Loki (formerly named Floki), this boy was named after Floki Vilgerðarson (good luck calling him back yelling that name out). And Loki has a little bit of that trickster and a lot of that playfulness in him. Loki is 3 years old and has lived with other dogs. Big and strong, he is also incredibly handsome and ready for a new home. Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall, his personality and white coat are always stunning.

Everyone, meet Blue!
This guy is an energetic and playful German Shepherd who's ready to add some fun to your life! At 5 years old, he still has the spirit of a puppy and loves a good game of tug-of-war. Whether he’s chasing after a ball or snuggling up for some belly rubs, Blue is all about bringing joy to those around him.

This friendly guy is a social butterfly who adores kids and gets along well with other dogs—he even ignores cats on his walks! Always up for an adventure, Blue makes the perfect travel companion. If you're looking for a loving, playful friend to brighten your days, then Blue may be the one for you.

Blue is currently in our owner referral program. He is currently located in the Bronx. We would like to help get him adopted directly with his family, but he may end up coming into our foster program. Blue is eligible for our foster to adopt program. This program allows a potential adopter the ability to first foster the dog to make sure it is a good fit. This program also helps us bring owner surrender dogs into our program.
