Story
*Courtesy Post for German Shepherd Rescue, Inc. Please contact them at www.gsrescue1.org for more information since she is not in our rescue.* Approximately 8 months old, Valentina is a Shepherd mix picked up as a stray in Chicago by CACC. She is a peanut at 38lbs! While she definitely should still have formal training, she is relatively easy to walk on leash and has great manners meeting dogs and people passing by. When on a schedule and supervised, she’s doing a good job working towards potty training and crate training, and can go overnight without a potty break. Vale learned “sit” in 5 minutes and will work for food! Little Valentina loves stuffed and chew toys and is very playful - by herself and with other dogs. She is currently being fostered with two adult shepherds (lovely dog manners), cats (relatively neutral) and older children (fun!) Vale is definitely still learning about the world and barks at strangers in the house or if she gets nervous. A little anxious in the car, but realizing little by little it comes with fun adventures, treats and quality time with people. Big time need to chew on things and needs some work with her puppy mouthing as she doesn’t have much bite inhibition, but she’s a sweet soul with a lot of energy and a lot of love to give! If interested in Valentina, apply at www.gsrescue1.org.

Story
Meet Henrietta, a charming German Shepherd who is eagerly awaiting her forever home. Henrietta found her way to us from a partner rescue, and we're determined to help her find the loving family she deserves. Though initially shy in the shelter environment, Henrietta's gentle nature shines through. She's a sweetheart who gets along well with other dogs, making her an ideal companion for households with furry friends already in the mix. Despite her initial reservations, Henrietta is longing for someone to give her a chance to thrive. With a calm disposition, Henrietta is the perfect balance of relaxed and playful. She enjoys engaging in activities like playtime and leisurely walks, but she's equally content snuggled up on the couch, soaking in the warmth of companionship. If you're a German Shepherd enthusiast seeking a loyal and affectionate companion, Henrietta might just be the perfect match for you. Don't let her shy demeanor deter you-this sweet girl is ready to blossom in a loving home. Take the first step towards welcoming Henrietta into your life by submitting an adoption application today! Here is what her foster has to say! " Calling all German Shepard lovers. If you are looking for the perfect German Shepard look no further. Henrietta, which we call Hazel, is a sweet very shy calm dog. And yes, I said a calm German Shepard. My husband and I were originally drawn to her because she reminded me so much of my German Shepard Bridgette, that I foster failed from Border Tails. We instantly knew we wanted to help her and foster her. When we first got her she was very shy and skittish. It actually took 3 weeks of her being here before she would let us pet her. We have fostered her for about two months now and she has made such progress. Her personality has completely come out. She loves to play with my other dogs. She loves to chew on our wooden chew toys. She loves to shred the soft plush toys. She is a good eater and loves all her fruits and veggies we give her. She is fully potty trained and we are currently working on sit with her. She is not crate trained because she doesn't like being in the crate. She loves being in the center of commotion and is absolutely wonderful with my 4 and 5 year old children. She only barks if the dog next door is outside or there are dogs barking on the tv otherwise she is very calm. She is very bonded to her biological sister, who we are fostering as well.
