Greenhill Humane Society in Eugene

Greenhill Humane Society received 19 German Shepherd dogs in June from Eugene Animal Services in an overcrowding case. Six are still up for adoption: Axel, Dylan, Good Charlotte, Papa, Rush and Shawtz.

Many of the dogs arrived under-socialized, had never been on a leash or received veterinary care. The shelter's canine team has worked with the dogs to build trust, teach them leash skills and basic obedience, and provide play-date interactions with other dogs.

The German Shepherds range from 1 to 7 years old. While some dogs are shy and cautious, they are friendly and curious. They have been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed or neutered.

They need households that can provide extra TLC to help them flourish. It may take some time for them to build up their confidence, but once they get comfortable, they will make a loving companion.

Greenhill Humane Society is open seven days a week, 11 a.m. – 6 p.m. at 88530 Green Hill Rd in Eugene. For more information call (541) 689.1503 or visit www.green-hill.org.
