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.
