#404 Winston

My family adopted Winston #404 in 2014 and I want to say he is the best dog in the world and is very playful with our new dog. Winston is loving and happy. Thank you for bringing us together.

#455 Crystal

Merry Christmas from Crystal and myself!

It has been over five years now and Crystal is almost twelve years old. Time does go by fast. Chrystal is slowing down and a little lame but we are still moving. She has been a great dog and never leaves my side 24/7.  I hope things are good for all of you.

Thanks for the great you all do with the dogs!

#509 Jackson

“Here is a photo of Jackson, with his housemate Jolene.
Jackson did a cross country RV trip with us last year, and this was at a friend’s home in Oregon.  The friend took this photo of the dogs and submitted it to their local news station and the dogs made the news!”

#419 Tiger

Bladder cancer took this handsome boy….😢 He was one of Jim Miller’s foster dogs.

“I have lived with you and loved you, and now you are gone. Gone where I cannot follow, until I have finished all of my days.”   ~Victoria Hanley

It’s with great sadness that we announce that Tiger, GSRNE #419 has crossed the bridge. This sweet boy fought so very hard these past few months but sadly lost his fight to cancer.  We know he’s in a better place now, free from pain but, our hearts are so heavy tonight for his family who loved him so much and miss their sweet lovable boy…especially his fur sister, Lindsey.  Six years ago Lindsay welcomed Tiger into her home and they became best-friends and were inseparable.

Rest easy handsome boy your GSRNE family loves you. ♥️xoxo

#433 Fitz

“I can no longer see you with my eyes, or touch you with my hands.  But, I will love you in my heart forever”…💙

It is with great sadness that we announce Fitz, GSRNE #433 has crossed the bridge… Life isn’t often fair, and all too often our loved ones are taken too soon and robbed of a long life. When we heard about Fitz we were heartbroken for our good friend, Allison and her husband. They tried so hard, and did all they could for their handsome wonderful boy.  Allison welcomed Fitz into her home in 2015 as a foster and knew immediately she was not going to be able to let him go. She fell in love immediately with the handsome, sweet one-year old.

“Pets are part of our families and bring so much joy and comfort to our lives. Fitz was that and so much more. This goofball came into my life in July 2015 as a foster dog and I immediately fell in love with his personality. He loved swimming and playing ball and I can’t name any food he didn’t like to eat. He was always wagging his tail, such a happy dog, and I don’t think he ever realized he was a 90 pound German Shepherd. Fitzy, Fritz, Big Lug. He was handsome and such a special dog.  —Last fall he was diagnosed with canine Lymphoma….. an aggressive cancer that can’t be cured, only put into remission for 8-12 months with chemotherapy. As dogs tolerate chemo better than humans, we opted to move forward with treatment and it gave Fitz another 10 months of a happy healthy life. Sadly when the lymphoma returned it did so with a vengeance and at the young age of 7 1/2, we made the heartbreaking choice to let Fitz go.  I’m confident that as Fitz crossed the Rainbow Bridge, my father was waiting on the other side and said “Come on big guy, let’s go play ball”.  Love you Fitzy.

Auction Donations, Forms and Tagging Party

Auction Donations

What items are we looking for? German Shepherd items of course! Statues, small rugs, throws, pillows, key chains, jewelry, GSD notepaper, cards, t-shirts and prints — just about anything goes as long as it is first quality and something that can be auctioned.

Dog-related items do very well and don’t need to be German Shepherd specific. We are looking for dog bowls, cookie jars, leashes, collars, dog beds – all kinds of pet products! One-half to two-thirds of the auction items are pet specific and the good news is that if we receive too many of one type of item for the auction, they can be used for other events or even for our foster dogs. But we don’t leave out people! We have seen beautiful vases, jewelry, collectible plates, and baskets of products that anyone can use. Sports memorabilia items are also very popular, as are any kind of electronics. Come and see which items raise the most this year!

PLEASE complete a separate form for each item you donate. It really helps us to have the completed form at hand when we are preparing our Auction Catalog and your tax deductible donation receipt.

There are three ways to donating items to us:

1. You can drop off items at the tagging party (due to Covid attendance is limited).
2. You can deliver them to one of our collection sites located throughout New England. Please email us at auction@gsrne.org for more information.
3. You can mail your items to: GSRNE, PO Box 4063, Westford, MA 01886.  It really helps if you include a brief description of your item or items and the value so that we get it right for the Auction Catalog and for your tax receipt.
