My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

SANDY ~2.5 years old. Good with older, considerate kids. Not good with dogs and cats. Requires fenced yard.

GSRA adopts to residents of VA, NC, and SC only.

Hello,
My name is Sandy and I am about 2 1/2-3 years old and weight 62 lbs. I was found as a stray so I don't have any information on my previous life. I believe I was raised right because I know my basic manners, sit, down and shake. I am house and crate trained, enjoy hanging out in my crate. I do stay out of my crate when my foster family isn't home.

I need daily walks and I am great on leash and non reactive to other dogs. I am more focused on reading my "doggie newspaper" with my nose to the ground. I see other dogs and squirrels but just look and continue my walk.

I do love shoes but don't worry I am not destructive, I did chew on some laces but with the help of my foster mom I learned not to chew on them anymore. I just like to bring them to my crate or outside with me. I also like to steel an occasional sock when one of the boys drops them on the floor.

Stuffed animals are wonderful and they come outside with me to hang out in the backyard. I take good care of them and all limbs are in tact. My favorite activity beside walking is playing "doggie soccer" with a basketball, I love to chase after it and block it. I do zoomies in the backyard and love to hang out in the backyard when my foster family is home.

I love car rides but do get car sick if I don't have any Dramamine 2+ hours in advance. I did great at the vet and the groomers when I went for a bath and nail trim.

I have a very sweet temperament but I do bark at things from inside the fence but its rare for me to bark in the house or at the doorbell. Going to Lowes is a fun outing and the employees give me treats.

I love kids and get excited when the two teenage boys I live with come home. Other kids from age 4 and up come to the fence and pet me. Some come inside and I love to hang out with them too.

I usually sleep on a dog bed upstairs but lately I sleep on the been bag in the bonus room because I can look out the doors and see what's going on.

I am a good eater and I take my treats gently. I don't dumpster dive so the trash can is safe when no one is home.

My ideal forever home would have kid/kids, fenced in backyard, active family that loves walks, playing outside with me and belly rubs.

Adoption application

Before you fill out the application:
1). We do not adopt to individuals living outside of North Carolina, South Carolina, or Virginia.
2). If the only dog you are interested in has a (CL) after their name, this is a courtesy listing and we do not handle the adoptions of courtesy listings, please contact the person directly.

More about this rescue

Thank you for considering adopting a GSRA dog. We love that you are exploring rescuing a GSD. We firmly believe that the adoption of a dog is not one to be taken lightly. Because of this belief, our adoption process is what some would described as lengthy and can be emotional. If you are looking to take a dog home "tomorrow", unfortunately our organization is not for you.
