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 Shelters often do not update us when dogs are adopted or euthanized so listings here can be out of date until we find out.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!
BARRON NEEDS A HOME
Meet Barron!
This handsome gentleman adores his people. Treats are the way to his heart and once you are his person, he is as dedicated and loyal as they come. He LOVES toys and can often be seen bringing his favorite red ball!
Barron is a typical german shepherd, weary of strangers and protective of his humans. Due to his size and looks, he can be quite intimidating until you get through his tough guy exterior. We think that his special person may have been hurt by a man so he can become reactive when a man gets near the woman he feels he’s protecting.
If you think you can be Barron’s safe person to learn that not all people are bad, give us a call at (802) 483.6700 to set up a time to come meet Barron!
Barron is located at the Rutland County Humane Society.
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.
