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!

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.
