Welcome Freya!
Freya is four years old but a puppy at heart. Like many GSDs, she wants to follow you everywhere and be as close as possible to you. She is medium energy drive and would do well in an outdoorsy active home. She loves squeaky tennis balls and nearly every treat or chew she’s given. She's up-to-date on vet care, spayed and is housebroken.
Freya is learning manners - she will put her front paws on the counters and she will jump up on people but responds to correction quickly. Her new home will need to continue her training. She learns quickly and responds to praise.
Freya could do well with another dog her same age, size, and activity level. She could also do well as the only dog in the home. However, Freya has prey drive and does not like cats or small dogs.
Freya would do best in a home without small children.
Meet Emma-Ready for Adoption!
Emma is 12 years old and is looking for a place to spend her golden years.
She doesn't like loud noises; she prefers a quiet home. Due to this, a home without small children might be a best fit for her.
Emma will need a calm, happy, and confident (in her place within the home) dog to live with. A dog her same age and activity level will work best. She's going to do best in a home with a canine companion. Emma is also indifferent to cats. A home with or without cats would be fine for her.
Welcome Derek - Coming soon!
Derick is a 10-month-old GSD who is getting settled with his foster. Unfortunately he is not feeling well right now. Check back for updates.
Welcome Callee - Coming soon!
Callee is approximately 3 years old. She is currently undergoing heartworm treatment and not ready for adoption.
Check back for an update on Callee - and to find out when she will be ready for adoption.
Welcome Jax!
Jax is a 3 year old male white GSD who is looking for his forever home. He's completed a training program to give him structure and confidence and will need a home that knows the breed and is committed to continuing his training. He's neutered and current on vet care.
Jax was dog selective while in rescue and may do best as the only dog in the home. We suggest a meet/greet with any other dogs in the home. Jax does not like cats. We do not know about his behavior around small kids, he has not lived with them..
Meet Jett-Adoption Pending!
Jett is 4 years old. He's easygoing with a medium energy level, and likes other dogs. He is crate trained and housebroken.
Jett is very affectionate and loves to give hugs. He loves people and would do well in a home with kids.
He's treat motivated and loves snacks like cheese and pizza. He does need some work walking on a leash.
Although he likes other dogs, we are not sure about his behavior with cats.
Every German Shepherd deserves a home.
Each year, 2.7 million cats and dogs are euthanized in the United States - and German Shepherds are no exception. By choosing to adopt a dog, you act as an agent of change. To learn more, click this link to view our Adoption Policies.
Updates on New Rescue Dogs
We have several dogs in our foster network. These dogs will not appear on our site until their health problems are resolved. Foster parents are also still learning their personalities. Foster parents determine when a dog is ready for adoption.
