We currently have a number of dogs that we have been asked to list because the might be at least part Hovawart. If you are willing to consider a dog that isn't a confirmed Hovawart, look them over and contact the person or organization that has the dog. If you do adopt one of these dogs, please let us know so we can take them off our list. Thank you.
If you are interested in being notified of Hovawarts that come into the adoption program, please fill out the Interest in Adopting form.
Cady
Cady is an 8 month old neutered female currently living in a foster home awaiting adoption. She is a very calm but playful girl. She bonds quickly to her person. She is house trained, leash trained, good around other dogs and children. This is the third dog of this type we rescued from the Lancaster shelter--most likely from the same litter but oddly surrendered about one month apart. One has been adopted and we kept the other!

Mitsy is a black and tan, four year old neutered female. Her family says she is a known Hovawart without papers. Here is her story as submitted to us.
My son decided to bring a dog home..he paid for it and then...we have no choice but to let Mitsy go!!!! She is good with all animals and children and grown-ups...this is a sacrifice and a hard ache for us!!!! She adopts to outdoors or indoors!!!! This is hard on us..it is like a child to us!!!! We already rescued a cat that the owner died..and another cat that was being mistreated and another cat that our daughter brought home..without permissionand already had a jack russell...that we have had for 7 years...in fact Mitsy came to us through that same son that just brought another dog home that he paid for..had brought Mitsy home to us....we have already been told we have too many animals...so we had to decide!!! Mitsy loves to be herself and that is "guarding her home"...you will not meet up with a better dog than all around good dog..."Mitsy"...

Bear

Bear is an 8 year old, neutered male. Though his ears clearly demonstrate he is not a Hovawart, he has been welcomed into our rescue program. Here is Bear's story as told by his current family:
Our history is – our daughter and her then husband adopted him from Kern County Animal Shelter in 2003. They divorced in 2006 and left him at the ranch we had in Ramona near San Diego. Bear lived there for over three years and roamed the property playing with an occasional visiting dog and at one point lived peacefully with our seven ranch cats.
We’ve resided in San Diego and Tehachapi for many years. In 2008 Bear moved to our place in Tehachapi where he has lived since. When we leave he stays there and relatives care for him. “Bear” is very healthy and is an obedient dog. In the past we have raised German Shepherds and his obedience and handling is as good as any we’ve had over the years. Due to our move to a town home in San Diego we are forced to give him up – hopefully to a good home or rural property.
Bear is healthy, obedient and a great property dog who protects his property but is not a chronic barker. Is outdoor and indoor dog, house broken. He has lived with two adults and a Yorkie for past year and a half. Has not been around children and in previous ranch residence lived well with one German Shepherd and seven cats.
For more information or to be considered for Bear's permanent home please contact
