Story
Niko is a 4 yo german shepherd. His birthday is 2/2/18 so he's almost 5. I got him right before Covid so he was not socialized as much as he should've been and has some social anxiety when other humans come to his home or are around his humans. He is extremely protective of what's his and will give ample warning to those who are a threat by barking and pushing them back with his nose. He has to be medicated when he goes to the vet to calm him. With the right training and time this can be corrected. He's extremely intelligent and willing to learn new things. He's a working dog by nature. He loves walks, playing catch with his tennis ball, squeaky toys and lots of attention. He won't leave your side or run away. He's house trained and food driven. I lost my husband to suicide a year ago and due to financial reasons I cannot keep him. I am heartbroken and desperate to find him a loving home asap.

Story
Before calling about this dog, please read our adoption requirements at: https://gsrne.org/requirements-for-adopting-from-gsrne/ Hi!  My name is Muks. Could YOU be my Forever Family!!! I would love to come be with YOU forever. I am young and active and love to do lots of fun things with my person. Whether it’s chasing balls in the backyard, playing outside with the kids, hiking or going for walks, or going to training and learning all about how to be the best dog I can be! I love belly rubs and if you scratch my tail, I’ll even do my special little happy dance for you! I’ve become quite the young man since I’ve been with my foster dad and I’m well-behaved in the home – no counter surfing, no jumping on furniture, and I give people their space when they have work to do.  Yay, me!  And since I’m not quite two years old I have plenty of energy and would love it if you’d take me for training, or maybe explore doing scent-work, agility, or other fun stuff too.  I’ve been told I’m much more confident, respectful, and friendly with dogs now than I was initially. I think I would love to live with another dog because I would love to have a playmate who could help me build more confidence. I wouldn’t mind living with the right female dog, a good-natured pal I could play with and continue to learn from. When the day is done, I just want to roll over for those belly rubs.  I can’t wait to meet you and give you all my loving!!!

Story
Are you an active person seeking a likeminded companion for life’s adventures? Well then Tank just may be your guy. Tank is a gorgeous, athletic 2 year old male who’s always on the go. You know those hilarious Facebook/Insta Reels or TikToks your friends send you about the dogs carrying the log 6x the size of their body? This would most definitely be Tank! He loves everything play, he is not a couch potato and will keep you on your toes. We suspect he is likely a working line GSD so he has great drive. He wants to please and needs mental stimulation. We believe he has potential for SAR work or other sporting events. He’d make a great hiking partner. Tank is affectionate and loves to be with his people. He did have a female GSD housemate so, with proper introductions, he could live with another similarly sized female tolerant of his energy. Like all GSDs of his caliber, training and routine are a must. If you make the commitment to Tank, you will have one amazing sidekick. Apply today.

Story
https://gsrne.org/dog-bios/stella-2/ I am a young GSD who would love to come live with you and be loved by you and your family. Would you like to be my forever home? I am a very happy and healthy girl who has learned how to be a good dog and how to love and trust my people. I am a very sweet girl and love to be with the grandkids in my foster home. I love to be with other dogs too and adore running and playing with them. I live with a GSD male that I enjoy playing with a lot. They tell me that my right front leg is a bit deformed and splits in two partway up. However, I have no problems running with it and don’t even notice it’s different. The rescue folks say I have no health issues or concerns and took me for x-rays and a consultation to see if anything should be done for my leg. They found that nothing needs to be done and I move and run very well. They don’t want to fix something that isn’t broken (as they say) for simply cosmetic reasons. However, they say if anything arises with my leg later in life, GSRNE will support my adopters with the needed treatment. I will be a wonderful companion to my forever family and will always be your loving and attentive German Shepherd Dog. Please give me a chance – I’m really a wonderful girl who would love to be yours. Please consider adopting me……..come and meet me and you will see I am great !!! (Everyone tells me so)

Story
In late May, we received a call from an ACO who picked up a young stray female. This girl gave the police officers quite the chase and when they finally caught her no owner came forward. Her active, playful personality captured the heart of the ACO and he could see that she needed to gain weight but admired her coat of rich black with accents of tan. He was really invested and wanted to help this sweet dog, so, when we agreed to help, we asked him to pick a name for this pretty girl. He chose Freya, a name of Old Norse origin that shares its namesake with the mythical Freyja the goddess of love and beauty. We thought this was the perfect name for this beautiful dog. Freya is approximately a little over a year old. With no foster home available she stayed at the shelter for a brief period and was then moved to a board/train facility. We’ve had her with a trainer for the past month who has really helped her with some basic obedience and manners. Freya reacts well to other dogs and wants to play when given the chance. If the other dog is unsure and barks, she will chime in with her own barking. She would be happy living in a family with another dog or could also be an only dog, soaking up all the attention. If you're looking for an intelligent, inquisitive puppy and enjoy going for walks and doing activities with your dog, please ask us about Freya. We know the right GSD savvy home is out there to give this sweet beautiful girl the finishing touches on her training to let her shine like the mythical Freyja she was named after.

Story
Tatum is a gorgeous, shy German Shepherd Dog who had a rough start to life. Tatum is hoping to find an adoptive home who has experience with dogs, and understands their body language. He is wonderfully sweet and curious once he makes friends with new people. Tatum has a great nose and loves long, sniffy walks, and exploring. Tatum is affectionate and happy with people he trusts, and walks fairly well on a leash. He will bark at new people who move quickly towards him, and likes to make friends by just hanging out and going for walks without being the center of attention. Tatum is very gently curious about other dogs, and may be able to live with another dog who can approach him calmly. At this time he is looking for an adult home, and may take a few meets before he is ready to go home with an adopter. This great boy will make a wonderful friend for an adopter who is willing to go slow, and build his confidence. If you are are interested in meeting Tatum, please head to our website at worcesterarl.org and fill out the Dog Adoption Inquiry to request a meet with Tatum. All adoptions are by appointment, thank you!

Story
Sammy is super sweet! This boy enjoys long quiet walks, and has grown to adore the staff who cares for him. When meeting new people you will definitely see Sammy's shy side. Sammy is a gentle pup who doesn't like to be rushed into making friends. He prefers to take his time and let you show him that you can be patient with him. Sammy make take more than one visit at the shelter to get comfortable with new folks, but once he does, you will have yourself a best friend. Due to Sammy's shyness, we will be looking for a home without children, and a home without lots of people in and out. Sammy may enjoy living with other dogs, but they would have to meet first. If you are viewing this dog's profile on Adopt-a-Pet and are interested in adopting, please head to our official website at www.worcesterarl.org to fill out a Dog Adoption Inquiry Form, which will be located under the dog's profile. That is the first step! All adoptions are by appointment, thank you!
