We have not temperament tested or evaluated the dogs on this page. Some of these dogs have a very short time to live, due to overcrowding at shelters or the dog falling apart mentally/emotionally. If you are interested in one, please call about these dogs right away, and please mention that you saw info about the dog on the GSRNE website. Thanks!
Note: ALWAYS call first and ask if a shelter dog is still available. Shelters often do not update us when dogs are adopted or euthanized so listings here can be out of date until we find out. Please let the shelter know that you saw the dog on GSRNE’s website.
And if you adopt a dog that you saw here, we’d love to hear from you! These are dogs we wish we could help and it would be wonderful to know how they are doing. Let us know if it’s okay to put your story of adopting the dog here on the site and on our Facebook page as everyone loves a happy ending! Email askgsrne@gsrne.org to share your story with us!
Forrest Needs a Home
Meet Forrest,
We have seen so much growth in Forrest since he has been here. He used to enjoy bowling, with us being the bowling pins! Now instead of smacking down pins, we can enjoy the trails together, with the sunlight making our shadows long. Sometimes we stop for some butt pats, ear rubs and loving looks.
Forrest is a special boy, with a lot of potential for the right handler. He has loyalty to give in spades, soulful eyes and Jolly Ball habit.
Forrest is looking for a home where his main handler is physically and mentally strong. Forrest has only been used to having rules and boundaries for a short time and he has been very successful with them. He and his new family will be happiest if those continue.
Forrest’s ideal home will be an adult-only one where he can shine without having to worry about any other animals interfering with his toys and food; he doesn’t like to share.
Stop by and meet Forrest with any other adults that live in your home. German Shepherd experience is a plus and we would love to introduce him to you!
Forrest is a 5-year-old neutered male at the Kennebec Valley Humane Society in Augusta, Maine. Please inquire about him at customerservice@pethavenlane.org or 207-626-3491.
ROMA NEEDS A HOME
Roma Local is currently in RI and looking for a ‘furever’ home!
Roma is a stunning 4-year-old German Shepherd with a heart as big as her brain. She adores people and thrives on human companionship. After spending two years in boarding, she’s finally getting a chance to shine in foster care, where she’s proving to be incredibly smart and a fast learner.
Roma is looking for an adult-only, pet-free home where she can be the center of attention. With her intelligence and loyalty, she’ll quickly become your best friend and companion. Roma is ready to leave her past behind and find a loving forever home where she can truly belong. Could that be with you?
If you are interested in adopting this dog please complete the adoption application at Rhode Home Rescue to become a pre-approved adopter.
