My story

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

Hi there! My name is Spencer, and I'm a handsome, adventurous German Shepherd pup with a zest for life and a heart full of hope. My journey hasn’t been the easiest, but I’ve bounced back like the brave boy I am! I had shoulder surgery to fix a break, and now that I’m all healed, you can catch me zooming around the yard, pouncing on my toys, and chasing my foster sister like the playful pup I was meant to be.



I’m a smart cookie who’s always ready for fun and learning. I know commands like “sit” and “enough,” and I’m working hard on “stay.” I’m also super treat-motivated, so teaching me new tricks will be a breeze! I’ve got great house manners coming along and will let you know when I need a potty break. I do get a little excited on walks (there’s just so much to see!), but I’m getting the hang of it and calming down quickly.



When I’m not playing or exploring the great outdoors, I love to snuggle up on the couch with my humans. I’m what you’d call a “velcro dog”—I just want to be wherever you are. I’ll happily follow you around the house, wagging my tail and giving you my best puppy smile. Oh, and speaking of tails, sometimes I chase mine—it’s a great way to burn off extra energy and make you laugh!



I get along well with big dogs, love kids (just watch out for my enthusiasm!), and I’m crate trained. I sleep in my crate at night and am learning to be trustworthy out of it, though you might want to keep me crated when you’re away since I’m still a curious pup who likes to chew.



I’m on the lookout for my forever family—someone who will love me as much as I’ll love them. If you’re ready for a loyal, energetic, and slightly goofy best friend, I think we’d be a perfect match! Let’s make it official—what do you say?

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

GHGSDR holds Meet and Greets @ several Petco stores in the Houston area each month, usually from 1pm to 4pm. Check our homepage for locations and dates.

On our homepage we list the names of the dogs that are expected to be at the event - check 1 or 2 days before the event.

We hope that you will come on out and meet some of our wonderful GSDs. Meet our volunteers and learn more about why GSDs are a wonderful breed!
See you there!

More about this rescue

GHGSDR volunteers are dedicated to saving as many German Shepherds in the Greater Houston Metro area as humanly possible - based on current resources of available foster homes, the rate at which we can find suitably matched adoptive homes, and of course, financial resources for veterinary care.

GHGSDR Shepherds mostly come from animal shelters where they are awaiting euthanasia. All of these Shepherd Dogs need loving, forever homes and families to call their own. We have several GSDs available for adoption and we regularly take in more Shepherds under our wings and into our Rescue Program, increasing the numbers of dogs available for adoption. Whenever we can, we also work with other dog rescue groups in Texas and nationwide to help ensure the safety and security of these wonderful animals.
