My story

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

*I am located in Georgia but can be transported*

Name: Schulz

Breed: German Shepherd

Sex/Age/Weight: Male/estimated 2 years old/62lbs at the moment, but I am severely underweight

Vetting: Up-to-date on all vaccines, neutered, microchipped, and receiving treatment for heartworms.

House trained/Crate Trained: In progress.

Dogs/Cats/Children: Has not been observed around dogs, cats, or children, but can be tested upon request.

Energy Level: High-I am a super-active dog who needs a high-energy owner.

Before FAR/My History: I was found 8/7/2024 running on the road in a rural area next to some cotton fields. I was very skinny, flea-bitten, and thirsty, but I love to ride in a car so I hopped right in when a human pulled up. The vet says I need to gain some weight, but overall I am very healthy. I am in treatment for heartworms right now, but as soon as I am done with that I will be ready to play. No microchip or owner was found, and someone suggested I was dumped because I wasn’t a mean, protective German Shepherd aka a failure. I am a sweet boy and would love to be part of someone’s family.

Training Status/Commands I know: So far I know sit.

Working on: Everything. I am trying to learn a lot while I treat my heartworms, but some exercises will have to wait until after treatment. I have so much energy, but I am working on channeling it into being a good dog.

Things I like: Food! I was 25 lbs underweight when I was found, so I really enjoy any food/treats I am given. I am always ready to run and explore in search of food. Maybe after I gain weight I will be interested in other things, but right now I just want to find the food. I am an active breed and need stimulation. I love games where I get to find things like hidden treats. If you like to go-go-go, I am the perfect dog for you!

Things I don’t like: I haven’t been out and about enough for my humans to know what I don’t like. Right now, I don’t like waiting on my dinner, but I will sit for it like a good boy.

Things that make my humans happy: My excitement for everything and my attitude. The humans don’t know where I came from or what I experienced but I am sweet nonetheless and am very happy in my new life.

Ideal Family/Home: Right now I am still a mystery. I haven’t gotten to play with other dogs or people other than my humans, but soon I will start interacting with the other fosters and going places with my human to see who my perfect family could be.

If you are interested in giving Schulz a forever home, please visit the link below to fill out an application! http://fureverafterrescue.org/adoption-application.html It is best to submit an application through a computer. We have experienced some problems when applications have been submitted using a mobile device. *When you submit the application, you are not obligated to adopt however it does reserve for you the opportunity to adopt that particular animal. We review them on a first come first served basis. If your application is approved, we will contact you and allow you the opportunity to adopt. If you choose not to adopt, we will contact the next approved applicant. If you have any questions or difficulties, please contact us and we will be glad to help!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our adoption process starts with the potential adopter filling out an adoption application. In the application, you can specify a particular dog in which you are interested, or let us know what type of pet in which you are looking, so we can find the perfect animal to fit your family and your needs. Once the application is received, a board member will review the application, and make contact with the potential adopter within 48 hours. This initial contact may include further questions/more information, or may include scheduling a meet and greet for you to meet the animal in which you are interested! Once the application is approved or the meet and greet goes well, then the adoption can be finalized. To finalize the adoption, an adoption agreement must be completed, the adoption fee paid (we accept cash, paypal, or credit/debit card), and then the potential adopter can take their new family member home with them or schedule pick up of their furry family member! The adoption fee varies based on the dog or puppy you are interested in. Some of the adoption fees have been listed on the individual dog's description but if you do not see one then please reach out and we would be happy to talk to you about it! If you are interested in any of our animals, please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have!!

Go meet their pets

We hold adoption events some Saturdays at various locations around middle GA from 11 am-3 pm. Check our Facebook page for updates on Events! We are also able to arrange meet and greets for local adopters!

More about this rescue

Furever After Rescue, a 501(c)(3) organization, is a no-kill, foster-based rescue devoted to finding homes for animals needing a loving home. Most of our animals come from local, high-kill shelters with some occasionally coming from bad situations and owner surrender. Our animals are immediately placed in foster homes where they learn love and are taught how to live in a home environment. All of our animals are up-to-date on their age-appropriate vetting needs and are tested for personality traits as best as possible. We have many wonderful pets looking for forever homes!
