My story

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

Winona AKA "Winnie" is a 6-year-old spayed female GSD. She is a rescue from Texas that SSR saved from a high kill shelter at the 11th hour before she was euthanized. She is UTD on her vaccinations. Winnie is HW+ and began treatment on 1/9. To continue to treat the HW, she will need a monthly topical treatment of Multi Advantage for the next 12 months, which the rescue will provide.

Winnie is a light, agile and athletic dog with medium energy. She is housebroken, knows basic obedience and is crate trained. She is quiet when in her crate. Winnie loves playing ball but is respectful and drops the ball when asked. She is more ball driven than food motivated for training.

Winnie could be a "once in a lifetime" type of dog in the right home. She has a high desire to please, is extremely smart, trainable and is desperately looking to bond with her forever person. She is feeling lost without her "person".

Winnie has the natural protection instinct of a GSD. She prefers women and can be reactive around new men so would need slow introductions. In these instances, she has demonstrated good impulse control when corrected appropriately.

Winnie is not suitable for a home with small dogs or cats due to her prey drive.

Winnie is currently in a temporary foster home in Freeland, Maryland. If she is placed in Maryland or Pennsylvania, I am happy to consult and help with her.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

The first step to adopt one of our dogs is to complete an adoption application. Once you have submitted your application, a volunteer with call your personal and veterinary references. Following references, SSR will send out a volunteer to conduct a home visit and meet any members of your household. We come to your home and further discuss the adoption process.

The adoption application will let us know a little bit about you, your home, your lifestyle and what you are looking for in a companion. Anyone over the age of 18 is welcome to fill out our application to adopt one of our dogs. Your application will either be accepted or denied after the volunteer submits a home visit report.

Shenandoah Shepherd Rescue is an all-volunteer rescue focused primarily on the rescue of German Shepherds. We are based out of the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia, but expand our reach and work to save German Shepherds in heavily populated areas throughout the country. While our rescue is a new organization, our volunteers have been rescuing German Shepherds for many years. Our hope is to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome every German Shepherd in need.
