Meet Jade… a tennis ball enthusiast, kiddie pool connoisseur, professional sunbather, and fiercely loyal best friend all wrapped up in one beautiful German Shepherd!

Jade is 6 years old and spent nearly her entire life with one family before they surrendered her due to rental restrictions. After recently finding what we hoped would be her happily ever after, Jade unfortunately experienced a setback when she bit in her adoptive home and was returned to H.A.L.O. She’s now a member of our Misfit Program, which is designed to help dogs with more complex needs find the right match. Potential adopters must receive pre-approval before meeting her.

This girl absolutely loves the outdoors! Throw a ball, fill up a kiddie pool, and you’ve planned her perfect day. She’s also housebroken and kennel trained, so she’s happy to settle in indoors, too.

Jade takes protecting her home and personal space seriously. She’s uncomfortable with things like lawnmowers and unfamiliar workers entering her space, and she requires a muzzle for veterinary visits. She’ll need an experienced, breed-savvy, adult-only home that understands her triggers, respects her boundaries, and is committed to building trust while preventing situations that make her feel the need to defend herself. Her future family will need to be her advocate, not put her in situations she’s uncomfortable navigating.

Jade may need a little extra understanding, but she’s still the same tennis-ball-chasing, sunshine-loving girl we’ve always known. We’re hoping the right person will see her potential and give her the safe, structured home she needs to succeed. ❤️

Requirements: Martingale Collar; No Children; Misfit Program Pre-Approval Required
