Meet Aldo Have you been dreaming of finding the perfect companion to add to your family? He is sweet, silly, cuddly, loving, smart, and handsome -- quite the catch! Meet Aldo, the 4 year old love bug looking to find his forever home.
His loves include swimming, being out with his family, scent/nose work, dozing on the couch, and being by your side. He is truly an active participant in the family and the more he can be included in, the happier he is. Everyone who meets Aldo falls in love with his happy-go-lucky and goofy personality. He has such a zest for life and would best fit a home who wants their dog to join them in all the fun experiences the world has to offer. Aldo enjoys obedience and trick training, sitting outside a cafe, dock diving, riding in the car, waiting for something yummy to fall at dinner, and making friends with the people in his neighborhood.
Aldo would thrive in a home with a pool or access to a lake or beach, familiarity with the gentle yet consistent hand GSDs need, and a yard where he can sunbathe.
He gets along well with other dogs, is great on- and off leash (or long line), has had lots of training, has a healthy respect for cats, and he’s crate trained. Aldo is always ready to go on an adventure and he is looking to begin the next chapter of his life with a family who is able to fulfill that for him.
Aldo does have hip dysplasia however he doesn’t seem affected by it and his love for swimming is excellent to keep up his strength. He is protected by pet insurance that would go along with him so anything related to dysplasia is covered. Also accustomed to massage and hydrotherapy. He has no health issues otherwise, no food or environmental allergies, and no behavioral issues. His fears include the vacuum, fire alarm, and trash bags but does anyone like those?
You will admire his confidence and love for new experiences, his demeanor makes him a perfect companion for families, and you’ll be giving Aldo a chance to flourish in an environment he thoroughly enjoys. Aldo is eager to impress, making living with him a fun and rewarding experience for both of you. You will be lucky to have this stellar dog in your home and he will be lucky to find his right fit!

Meet ShaySay hello to our newest rescue, Shay!
Shay is a beautiful 16-month-old Shepherd mix bursting with energy and love. Sadly, her owner’s career change means he can no longer give her the long walks, jogs, playtime, and companionship she deserves. Now she’s looking for a forever home that can match her active lifestyle and big heart.
🏡 Shay’s Wishlist for Her New Home:
• A secure yard where she can run and play (she even loves jumping on a trampoline!)
• Long walks or jogging partners
• Lots of quality time hanging out with her humans
• A home where she can be the only pet
• Teenage children who can play and keep up with her energy
Shay is crate trained and does well, but she should still be crated when unsupervised since she’s very much still in her puppy stage. She will also benefit from continued leash work and training to help her become the best companion she can be.
If you feel you have an active home where Shay can thrive, please visit gsgsr.org to learn more and apply.
Let’s help Shay find the loving, energetic home she deserves! 💛If you already have an approved application that fits Chase’s needs, please email us with your application number or the name on the application.

Meet Chase – Our Newest Program Pup 🐾 Please join us in welcoming Chase to our program. Through no fault of his own, his loving family had to make the incredibly difficult decision to rehome him. They care deeply about him and want nothing more than to see him thrive in a wonderful new home. Chase is 4 years old and has been living in an active household with teenage children, where he has proven himself to be a very good boy. He’s well-adjusted to family life and would love to find a similar home if possible.
Chase was professionally trained and boarded for an extended period, he knows all basic commands and has great recall for off leash situations.
As you can see from his video, Chase is not reactive toward other dogs. While he may be able to live with another dog, we would ensure it’s the right match to set everyone up for success.
Chase never lived with cats, so he prefers a home with no cats.
Chase is ready for his next chapter — one filled with love, activity, and companionship. If you believe you can give Chase the home he needs and deserves, please visit gsgsr.org and complete an adoption application. Let’s help this sweet boy find his forever family.
If you already have an approved application that fits Chase’s needs, please email us with your application number or the name on the application.

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
