Notes from Stella's caretakers:

She loves playing fetch — whether it be a small ball or a large rubber bone, she loves to run and chase. She can tend to be rough when releasing her toy so commands like “leave it” and “drop it” are essential when playing with her. So far she’s been good with with kids.

Lola is a female German shepherd dog in the care of My Way Home Dog Rescue.

Lola loves other dogs. Her ideal forever home would be a cat-free environment. Lola is looking for a home without small children. She has mastered her house-training etiquette. She is spayed, and she has had all her shots.

Notes from Lola's caretakers:

Lola came into rescue as part of a bonded pair with Honey the Bassett Hound. She does have some prey drive, so no cats or small animals for her. Lola would do well in a home with another dog if it is a good match. She would also do well in a home without a dog. She seems pretty athletic so a six-foot fence is a must. We think she would love a quiet home without kids because she is that quiet kind of dog.
