Meet Astrid!
Astrid is thriving at 8 months old, embracing her playful and curious nature. She's highly intelligent and quickly learning essential skills like house manners, leash walking, and basic commands. Astrid adores interacting with her foster sister, a 5-year-old GSD, and respectfully listens to her foster kitty brother's boundaries.
She shows some curiosity to new things but also looks for reassurance.
She would do best with a confident sibling or with someone who can provider her with a lot of exposure to new things and people to help her gain confidence.
With a supportive environment, Astrid is poised to flourish, and her confidence will continue to grow with guidance and socialization.
Astrid will be available for adoption in January.
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.
Meet Gunney-Adoption Pending!
Welcome to Gunney - a very handsome 5 year old boy. He is very even temperament, relaxed, but likes to play. While he's very high energy, he does not have prey drive. Gunney is excellent with other dogs
We do not know his behavior around kids. He is living with a teenager and has done great. Also, his behavior around cats is unknown, we suggest a home without cats.
Gunney is in good health and is neutered. He is a great dog, very friendly, and is eager to learn. He has been trained to sit, stay, lay down.
Meet Roscoe-Adoption Pending!
Roscoe is a young male GSD, about 10 months old. He's very people friendly, and great with kids. He likes dogs of any age or gender and would do best with another dog in the home; he would love to have a friend! He has not been introduced to cats so we suggest a home without cats.
Roscoe is treat motivated and loves chicken nuggets and peanut butter. He's crate trained and goes into his kennel with no problem and does great while he’s in the kennel. He is medium energy but needs regular exercise like walking or play. He walks good on a leash.
Roscoe is very animated which is so cute, he loves to hold hands and give hugs.
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.
