My story

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

UPDATE 10/29/2024: Samoa has been returned to SSR for not being a good fit for the family. Samoa is a happy dog who loves to play outside and run around. She is extremely treat motivated and loves playing with other dogs when they can meet off leash. She cares about the people she knows and is protective of them. You will know she likes you when she talks to you or curls up on the couch next to you. She is good riding in a car.

Samoa most likely needs slow introductions to other dogs, which is really what all dogs should have when coming into a new situation.

Samoa was surrendered by her owner in Texas 4/10/2020 along with her mom, Gingersnap, and siblings Biscotti and Churro. She is an active puppy and is very food motivated. She is getting along amazingly with a large, full grown foster, but is a little mouthy with a smaller dog. A patient adopter will help in her "inside manners" and continued work on potty training. She will need more work with a leash, lead. She's not a fan yet, but she amazes us on the progress she's made in the short time.

Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.

If you are an approved adopter and are interested in this dog, please let your case worker know. If you are not yet an approved adopter but are interested, please complete an adoption application!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

The first step to adopt one of our dogs is to complete an adoption application. Once you have submitted your application, a volunteer with call your personal and veterinary references. Following references, SSR will send out a volunteer to conduct a home visit and meet any members of your household. We come to your home and further discuss the adoption process.

The adoption application will let us know a little bit about you, your home, your lifestyle and what you are looking for in a companion. Anyone over the age of 18 is welcome to fill out our application to adopt one of our dogs. Your application will either be accepted or denied after the volunteer submits a home visit report.

Shenandoah Shepherd Rescue is an all-volunteer rescue focused primarily on the rescue of German Shepherds. We are based out of the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia, but expand our reach and work to save German Shepherds in heavily populated areas throughout the country. While our rescue is a new organization, our volunteers have been rescuing German Shepherds for many years. Our hope is to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome every German Shepherd in need.
