Story
Loki is a very energetic, very smart, very attached 1 year old purebred German Shepherd puppy. Unfortunately, Loki doesn't get along with our other dog and it is causing a stressful living environment for both dogs. He would thrive in an only dog household and with someone who is experienced with working breeds. He loves going for walks, playing fetch, and especially loves using his nose to find hidden treats. He did do a 3-week bootcamp so he is fairly good on commands/recall but would benefit from continued training. And even though he is a high energy dog, when it's time to settle down there's nothing better than him resting his head on your arm at peace.

Story
Zoey is a one year old black lab/german shepherd mix. She is extremely loving to family and friends and relatives who visit her home. She loves our other dog and allows our kids all over her! She is very sweet around those she knows and anyone entering our home but can be territorial and protective around strangers (delivery drivers, etc). She has one bite incident. We are looking for a loving, affectionate home for Zoey that is not as busy as ours. We have 3 teenagers and our home is very hectic with people and cars in and out. Because of her protective nature, we feel like a quieter home with less bustle and chaos would be a better fit for her temperament. She has been through a 2 week out of home training and she takes commands very well. She has been crate trained and enjoys her crate very much. She is still young and benefits from a yard where she can run or taken on walks.

Story
Before calling about this dog, please read our adoption requirements at: https://gsrne.org/requirements-for-adopting-from-gsrne/ Hi!  My name is Muks. Could YOU be my Forever Family!!! I would love to come be with YOU forever. I am young and active and love to do lots of fun things with my person. Whether it’s chasing balls in the backyard, playing outside with the kids, hiking or going for walks, or going to training and learning all about how to be the best dog I can be! I love belly rubs and if you scratch my tail, I’ll even do my special little happy dance for you! I’ve become quite the young man since I’ve been with my foster dad and I’m well-behaved in the home – no counter surfing, no jumping on furniture, and I give people their space when they have work to do.  Yay, me!  And since I’m not quite two years old I have plenty of energy and would love it if you’d take me for training, or maybe explore doing scent-work, agility, or other fun stuff too.  I’ve been told I’m much more confident, respectful, and friendly with dogs now than I was initially. I think I would love to live with another dog because I would love to have a playmate who could help me build more confidence. I wouldn’t mind living with the right female dog, a good-natured pal I could play with and continue to learn from. When the day is done, I just want to roll over for those belly rubs.  I can’t wait to meet you and give you all my loving!!!

Story
Are you an active person seeking a likeminded companion for life’s adventures? Well then Tank just may be your guy. Tank is a gorgeous, athletic 2 year old male who’s always on the go. You know those hilarious Facebook/Insta Reels or TikToks your friends send you about the dogs carrying the log 6x the size of their body? This would most definitely be Tank! He loves everything play, he is not a couch potato and will keep you on your toes. We suspect he is likely a working line GSD so he has great drive. He wants to please and needs mental stimulation. We believe he has potential for SAR work or other sporting events. He’d make a great hiking partner. Tank is affectionate and loves to be with his people. He did have a female GSD housemate so, with proper introductions, he could live with another similarly sized female tolerant of his energy. Like all GSDs of his caliber, training and routine are a must. If you make the commitment to Tank, you will have one amazing sidekick. Apply today.
