IN AREA SHELTERS
GSRNE sometimes gets asked to help a German Shepherd, that we can’t bring into our rescue. It could be that GSRNE is full and has no foster homes available or we have not been able to see the dog yet to evaluate it. So, we try to help the shelters and the dogs by telling people, like you, about them. If a dog is at a shelter and you want more information about it, please call the appropriate shelter that’s provided.

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 Shelters often do not update us when dogs are adopted or euthanized so listings here can be out of date until we find out.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!

GRETA NEEDS A HOME

Greta is a senior dog who still has many good years left to share with the right family. She came to us as a stray who had been left on the roadside. We believe she may have been used for breeding multiple times before she was abandoned. She was overweight, heartworm and lyme positive. She is now a healthy weight and has been treated for both lyme and heartworm, and has been spayed and updated on all of her vaccines. She has an unbelievably sweet temperament with people and loves belly rubs. She loves soft toys and has been coming out of her shell more and more as she has been with us.
 
Thank you,
Tiffany

JOE NEEDS A HOME

Joe is one handsome man! This big boy is still a puppy at heart, regardless of how big he is. It also doesn’t stop him from being a lap dog and giving you all the puppy kisses.

This young man loves to go on walks and hikes, sniffing all along the way. He never gets tired of exploring! When he’s not exploring, Joe loves romping around the fenced in pen with his favorite toys. It’s even better when his friends are there to throw him a tennis ball!

Joe also wants you to know how smart he is! This boy is super food motivated and learns so quickly. He can pick up a new trick just like that (as long as he has the proper motivation).

Here are some qualities that Joe is looking for in his next home:
– An owner with German Shepard experience and resource guarding experience
– Only adults in the household please!
– Someone who is ready to keep this boy busy and keep training him. He loves to use his brain!

If you think this handsome Shepard could be for you, please start the process today!

CHANCE NEEDS A HOME

Meet Chance!
He is located at Pope Memorial Frontier Animal Shelter in Orleans, Vermont.
He is a fully vetted, 8-month-old shepherd. Chance came to us when his previous owner was no longer able to care for him. Chance has done very well with other dogs, and loves to play with them. We have seen Chance interact with cats, and from what we have observed, we think a cat-free home would be the best fit for him. Chance is an active shepherd pup, and he would greatly benefit from consistency and training. He is food motivated and eager to learn. He did not receive much training prior to being in our care. We think he would be a great companion for someone who enjoys going out for runs and hikes! Chance hasn’t had the opportunity to socialize a great deal with children, but due to his size and age, he would likely do best in a home with teens.
If you are interested in adopting, the first step would be to send us an adoption application. For more information, please reach out by phone or email. Phone: 802-754-2228 Email:animals@fasv.comcastbiz.net

CILLA NEEDS A HOME

Meet Cilla!
She is located at Pope Memorial Frontier Animal Shelter in Orleans, Vermont.
She is a fully vetted, 11-year-old white shepherd. Cilla came to us when her previous owners were no longer able to care for her. She came in with another shepherd who we suspect is her daughter. The two of them do well together but have been reactive with other canines around. We haven’t seen them interact with cats but would expect a similar reaction and for them not to co-exist. We have not seen Cilla interact with children, but we believe she would do well with older kids, and teens. She is very docile and gentle. We think she would be a great companion for someone who enjoys going out for leisurely walks! She is friendly with everyone she meets here at the shelter, and never says no to treats!
If you are interested in adopting, the first step would be to send us an adoption application. For more information, please reach out by phone or email. Phone: 802-754-2228 Email:animals@fasv.comcastbiz.net
