Martha walks well on a leash but will pursue after a squirrel or anything that moves given the chance. Martha does have some anxiety, one is with men, but she is warming up to my husband and met a male friend the other day and did well. Martha doesn’t like to be taken by surprise by being touched when she is not awake, so we have been calling her to wake up before touching her.

This adorable boy is Jasper and he is one of our HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS dogs! If you adopt Jasper before January 1, the adoption fee will be half-price! Jasper is one-year-old and with his scruffy muzzle, we expect has some terrier in him. Jasper weighs about 40 lb and is a very happy, friendly, playful pup. He loves attention and enjoys being active outside. Jasper knows how to sit when given a hand signal and is food/treat motivated and can learn easily. When interacting with him, Jasper is very wiggly, sweet and gives kisses. Jasper would make an amazing family dog and would do great with children of all ages. He would love to have an energetic dog friend to play with. We don't know what Jasper thinks of cats, but we can "cat-test" him if needed.

German Shepherd Dog
Zorro is our longest resident at DAWS and has been here for four years. During that time, this 70 lb. six-year-old shepherd mix has been working very hard on training and we believe his time has come to find his furever home! Back in 2019, when Zorro first arrived to DAWS after being saved from a high kill shelter in Kentucky, he began developing some behavioral challenges, making it difficult to find him the right home. Through extensive training, Zorro has proved himself to be a pup that can develop solid friendships with humans, and even befriend select dogs. Zorro has been trained using treats and he eagerly sits, lies down and gives a paw on command. He’s done very well with car rides. He has enjoyed many hikes, walks, and play-time with his volunteer team. Time and time again, he has shown what a good boy he is, he just needs to find that special person! With a dog like Zorro, he will need a very specific adopter... Zorro Owner Requirements: • Experienced dog owner • Adult-only home with no kids or future children • Must be the only pet in the home • Has to have an understanding of positive reinforcement training • House with a fenced yard of at least 6 ft. • Willing to slowly introduce Zorro to people close to the family and educate them on Zorro’s do’s & don'ts • Come and meet Zorro multiple times If you think you can be the hero that Zorro needs, please complete our online application. Here is the link to the app: https://daws.org/daws-forms/ Zorro’s adoption fee is discounted for veterans that are members of the organization Pets for Patriots. The discounted fee for him is $100.
