Simba—Adopted
Simba is Ready for Adoption, keep sending in applications. We aren't finished reviewing qualified applicants yet — a goofy, lovable 8-month-old German Shepherd who’s ready to start his next adventure.
Simba was surrendered due to his owner’s medical issues, entirely through no fault of his own. At about 70 lbs, he’s a big-hearted puppy with an even bigger desire to be close to his people. If Simba had his way, he’d spend his days happily glued to your side like a giant, furry shadow.
He’s friendly with other dogs, though he can be a bit pushy and enthusiastic—think excited playground kid energy. Calm or quiet dogs may find him a bit overwhelming, but he genuinely means well. He’s also good with dog-savvy kids ages 12+ who understand Shepherd energy and puppy enthusiasm.
Simba is crate trained, though because of his past, he shouldn’t be crated for more than 4 hours at a time. He loves going for walks, playing fetch like it’s his full-time job, and being involved in whatever his humans are doing. He’s young, smart, and eager to learn—everything you want in a shepherd.
Simba’s Perfect Home
He would thrive with a family who can offer:
• An active lifestyle — regular walks, playtime, and exercise
• Commitment to continued training (he’s smart and loves to learn)
• Dog-savvy kids 12+
• A home without small animals
• A confident dog companion who won’t be overwhelmed or a family where he can be the solo star
• Plenty of human time — he loves being near his people
• Limited crate time (no more than 4 hours at a stretch)

Simba is full of love, joy, and goofy puppy charm. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will make you laugh daily and stick by your side through life’s adventures, Simba may be your perfect match..

Weston—Adoption Pending
Weston is a 3-year-old male show-line German Shepherd who is ready to begin a whole new chapter. He has spent most of his life in the show ring, and due to his elderly owner moving into assisted living, Weston is now looking for a loving foster home where he can learn what it means to just be a cherished pet.
This handsome boy is extremely friendly, loves everyone he meets, and—no surprise—walks beautifully on leash thanks to his show background. Weston is eager to experience the world outside the ring: adventures, playtime, exploring, and all the fun he’s missed out on.
Weston would do especially well with a female canine companion, and he will be neutered prior to entering rescue.
If you have room in your home and heart for this sweet, social, adventure-ready boy, please apply to foster.
We do not know if Weston is good with cats he has never been around a cat. He has always been friendly with kids but not raised with them.
Kind request: Please do not comment “I’ll take him” unless you are truly ready to apply. Comments like that can prevent serious applicants from reaching out.
Let’s find Weston the loving home he deserves.
**We have video please DM us if you want us to share it****
Apply at gsgsr.org to either foster or Adopt.
Apollo - Adopted
Welcome Apollo, a big hunky guy,
He likes to play and loves petting.
He loves to chase squirrels and rabbits so he can’t share his home with them. He was raised with a cat but any potential packmates, even cats, need to meet and greet prior to adoption decisions.
In order to get him into our program we had to act quickly as his owner was deploying. He requires some leash training. He is young and still acts like a puppy and so requires someone of strong mind (pack leader) to train him.
We recommend children 14 and up as this guy doesn’t know his own size and is a bit grumbly with his treats.

Ivy—Adopted
Ivy – a beautiful, smaller-sized black Shepherd looking for her forever home!
Ivy will be 2 years old in March and has a wonderful, gentle personality. She is friendly, great with children, and does well with selective dogs, but she will thrive best as the only pet in the home.
She has plenty of energy and would love an active family who enjoys long walks, hiking, playing ball in the yard, agility work and keeping her mind engaged with fun activities. She is up-to-date on vaccinations, spayed, and ready to join her new family.
Ivy is a smart, well-trained dog who understands commands in both German and English. She is treat-motivated, making continued training easy and enjoyable. She does well left alone in the home (uncaged), but she is clever enough to open cabinets or help herself to countertops—so a bit of baby-proofing is recommended!
If you are interested in giving this beautiful girl the loving home she deserves, please visit gsgsr.org and fill out an application.
Please share so we can get her a home before the holidays.

Bane—Adopted
Meet Bane – Your Future Adventure Buddy!
Bane is a stunning 12-month-old long-haired German Shepherd with a big heart and an even bigger personality. He’s a super friendly, goofy boy who will keep you laughing with his silly antics and happy energy.
Bane didn’t get the attention he needed in his previous home, he’s been working on his manners while in his foster home. Bane is housebroken and crate trained, but he’ll benefit from consistent training and structure to help him grow into his best self.
Because he’s still learning how to behave around other dogs, slow introductions are a must, and we recommend a home with children over 10 years old.
Bane is wishing for:
**A securely fenced yard to explore
** Daily long walks or hikes
**A stash of water, toys and balls
**A fun, active, and dog-savvy human ready to continue his training. Training experience is a must for Bane’s adopter or foster. Commitment to training will be a part of Bane’s contract unless a certified trainer takes him into their program.
Bane has all the love in the world to give — he just needs the right person to guide him.
Could that be you?

Sage
Adoptable: SAGE
Sage is a beautiful white Shepherd, with sparkling white teeth to match. She is 11 months old and approximately 60lbs-- she is petite in stature. She prefers the company of female humans, but will warm up to men in time as well. She can be skittish and will require a home that is willing to work with her on confidence building, and that'll understand her needs. She would do best in a GSD-savvy home, preferably those that have owned white shepherds (as many have a different more skittish personality than GSDs of other colouration.) A home that will provide training to work with her and give her time to trust is imperative. Although she does well in doggy daycare and on dog playdates, she prefers to live as a solo dog within the home..so please no other dog siblings for her! No cat exposure. Sage would do best with teenagers or above. She is housebroken, knows basic commands and is fully vaccinated. She has an appointment to be spayed. A fenced in yard is required for Sage.
If you think Sage is a good fit for your family, please submit an adoption application at gsgsr.org. If you have previously applied for any other dog and would like to be considered for Sage, please message us directly with your interest and your "AA00--" number you received on your application confirmation. We are not affiliated with any other rescue so please make sure that you apply directly with GSGSR
