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 Shelters often do not update us when dogs are adopted or euthanized so listings here can be out of date until we find out.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

ECHO NEEDS A HOME

Weight: 71 lbs

ECHO… ECho… Echo… echo……

This absolutely beautiful dog loves play so much and would love to romp around in a pile of freshly fallen leaves with you and your family this autumn! Her favorite things are tennis balls, rubber balls, herding balls, stuffed balls, really any type of ball. If it rolls, it’s a 10 outta 10! She is also a huuuuge fan of flopping down into a kiddie pool for a little cool down lap. Playtime is the key to her heart for sure!

Echo is looking for an adoptive home with teens and older due to her energy level and needing a bit more time to warm up to people before she’s ready for a cuddle. Once she knows you’re a good cuddle buddy though, she’ll readily seek out love and affection from you. But be warned, remember when we said she loves a kiddie pool? Wet dog incoming!

While Echo did come from a home with many other dogs, she has shown to be pretty picky about her dog friends here, so for now we believe she’d prefer to be the only dog in the home with the potential for dog friends after she’s had time to decompress from shelter life. We’re not sure how she feels about cats, but our canine team is more than happy to discuss how to do a proper introduction between Echo and any resident felines.

Echo is truly such a fun dog, especially for a person or family who has a soft spot for these higher energy pups. She is highly biddable for training and we feel that she will really blossom once she’s out of a shelter environment. If you want a dog who will reverberate your love and energy back to you, come meet Echo!

The ARLGP is a first-come, first-served shelter with open adoption hours from 11am-4pm every day but Wednesday. If you would like to know more about a particular dog before making the drive out, you can email us at dogs@arlgp.org.
