Welcome Freya!
Freya is four years old and over the puppy stage. 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.
She’s housebroken and doesn’t dawdle outside when it’s time to potty. She knows basic commands (sit, stay, kennel, go lay down) and the names of rooms within the home so you can tell her to go lay down. She walks well on a leash and stays close to whomever is walking her. She communicates well when she wants something-she will stare at the fridge and specific shelves for items like cheese or the new squeaker balls!
· She will retrieve a ball but doesn’t always release it and will run after the ball and get to it almost no matter what so be mindful about where you throw it.
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. She would do best in a home without small children.
Meet Emma-Ready for Adoption!
Emma is 10 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..
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.
