My story

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

Sex: Male

Breed: German Shepherd

Estimated Date of Birth : 09/08/2017

A family of three was very loyal indeed. We’d expect nothing less from a German Shepherd. Gideon, Gracie and Griffen are the steadfast protectors you never knew you needed. Devoted until the end that’s what we love most about this breed. They have the resilience to overcome and the steadfast presence to persevere. They are strong, proud and absolutely beautiful. To know a shepherd is to love everything they were bred to be and these three are wonderful examples of why German Shepherds are so beloved. This family has shown incredible heart and amazing forgiveness for the life of neglect they once led.

Abandoned by their humans when those humans were evicted. They were literally left to fend for themselves in a fenced in backyard with no access to food or water in the middle of summer. They were thin, flea infested and had a myriad of skin issues. Their previous family had provided them with minimal care and they held so little value they were left behind like trash. They could have died in that backyard but we are so thankful Good Samaritans exist. The kindness of one human is what kept these dogs alive. Food and water was provided daily for weeks and that human started networking these dogs to find them the help they needed most…rescue. That’s where we stepped in. We had the space, the resources and the time to get these dogs healthy enough for adoption.

This family has shown their appreciation for their rescue with endless devotion to each of their rescuers. They are incredibly sweet and so thankful for everything they’ve been given. Gideon, the father, is a mature gentleman who wears his previous hard life on his exterior. He walks nicely on leash and is gentle, affectionate and just a bit timid in new situations. Gracie, the mom, loves to explore and smell all the things. She’s a total sweetheart and a lover of all kinds of attention. Griffen, the puppy, is a highly trainable dude. He’s learning how to be a puppy and working on basic manners and leash skills. All three get along beautifully but don’t have to be adopted together. They will thrive in separate adoptive homes and are just so thankful to have their 2nd Chance.
