Vinny—In process of Adoption
Vinny is a 4-year-old sable German Shepherd, who is unfortunately, looking for a new home.
As typical of the breed, Vinny has lots of energy and would thrive in an environment similar to the one he knows now:
• A farm or rural setting with other animals
• Suitable for a home with teenage children who can play and interact with him
• Dog-friendly (we would place him with a female dog)
• Cat-friendly
This is a commitment-based situation — once you meet Vinny, we will need a decision to adopt or foster immediately.
If you believe you can provide the home Vinny needs, please contact Garden State German Shepherd Rescue and complete an adoption application at gsgsr.org.
If you already have an approved application that fits Vinny’s needs, please email us with your application number or the name on the application.

Ghost—In Process of Adoption
UPDATE: Thank you all for the outpouring of requests, applications and well wishes. Ghost has so many inquiries that it has been difficult to respond to everyone individually. Ghost has several meet and greets lines up. If you are interested in adopting another dog from us, then please submit an application but for now we won't be considering new applications for Ghost. If you submitted an application, we will keep it in our database for future consideration. No need to submit another application. If you are interested in another dog please send us a message with your application number.Ghost – A Sweet, Smart White German Shepherd Looking for His Forever Home
Ghost has a gentle heart and a bright mind. He is very smart, a quick learner, and highly attentive to both his owner and his surroundings. Ghost loves being outside, enjoys playtime, and thrives when he’s engaged and included.
Despite his young age, Ghost already has a great foundation of training. He knows Sit, Off, Leave It, Crate, and Inside, is leash trained, and walks well on leash. He is also housebroken, making his transition into a new home that much easier.
Ghost is a social, affectionate dog who does wonderfully with other dogs and kids. He enjoys meeting people and has a friendly, outgoing personality — truly a sweetheart who just wants to belong.
Sadly, Ghost is looking for a new home due to his family’s circumstances. This decision was made with heavy hearts, and his family entrusted his placement to GSGSR, knowing that his future will be protected and he will go to a committed home.
Important placement notes:
Ghost can be placed with a spayed female dog
No cats, as Ghost has never been exposed to them
Ghost is not neutered yet; GSGSR will work with the adopter to fund the neuter, while the adopting family will be responsible for transportation to and from the GSGSR veterinarian
Wouldn't you like to celebrate his first birthday with Ghost on January 23, 2026 ?
What better way to celebrate than with a forever family?
Ghost is ready to give his loyalty, love, and playful spirit to the right home. If you’re looking for a devoted companion and a dog with incredible potential, Ghost may be the one you’ve been waiting for.
If you already have an approved application that fits Vinny’s needs, please email us with your application number or the name on the application.

Bailey—Foster Found thank you to all our followers.
He is a good boy and still looking for the right home.
He is crate trained and already knows sit, paw, and down. He is working on other commands like place and crate. Bailey walks well on leash but will benefit from continued training. He does well with children; however, we recommend a home with kids 10 years and older to help with training and playtime.
If you’re interested in fostering to adopt Bailey, please visit gsgsr.org and complete the foster application form.
**If you already put in an application and are interested, please email us your AA number or your name on application. **
Help us give Bailey the loving home he deserves
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
