Meet Ellie!

Ellie is a 5-year-old German Shepherd Dog with a heart as big as her voice! This sweet and loving girl is eager to please and thrives on human companionship. She’s the kind of dog who will look at you like you’re her whole world – because to her, you are.

Ellie is crate-trained and is currently working hard on learning her manners. She needs a patient, consistent home to help her continue growing into her best self. She’s smart, sensitive, and responds beautifully to positive reinforcement - and treats!

Ellie has no problem expressing her excitement or opinions! While she’s not high-energy, she does enjoy some playful moments and would love a home where she can be both active and relaxed. She shines brightest with people who understand the breed and can provide gentle guidance, structure, and lots of affection. 

Ellie  gets along  with other dogs. Since she has not lived with cats we  do  not  know how  she'd  do,  so a home without cats is best. Ellie  has  not lived with small children. 

If you’re looking for a loyal companion with tons of potential and a heart full of love, Ellie might just be your perfect match.

Ready to meet your new best friend? Come say hello to Ellie – she’s waiting to meet you!  

Meet Emma!

Emma is 12  years  old  and  is  looking  for a place to  spend  her  golden  years. She has started her slow kill heartworm treatment and is doing OK with it.  

 She is still settling into  her  foster  home. 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. 

Blitz - Adoption Pending!

Handsome Blitz is such a good boy! He’s crate trained, loves people, walks great on a leash, does well in public and on car rides, and knows basic commands.

His favorite activities include walks, playing in the pool and playing fetch.

Right now we know he’s good  with dogs and seems OK with older children. He has not been around cats yet.

All around he’s a great dog!  

Aria - Adoption Pending!

Aria is new to GSDRGA! She’s 11 months old, good  with  dogs and  active. More information to come - but believe older  kids 12+ or  adults  only  home is  best. Her behavior  with  cats  not  known. 

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.
