My story

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

Candy and her pups were taken in by GHGSDR during Valentines’ Day and now she's ready for her forever home. She is on the smaller side but has lots of love to give you! She does take a little time to warm up to strangers and other dogs but once she's comfortable, she is super friendly. She likes to follow you around and see what you’re doing. Loud sounds do scare her a little so please speak kindly.

Candy is a two year old German Shepherd. She knows basic commands like sit, stay, wait. We’re working on her chomping - asking her to grab treats “gently” from our hands so we can keep all our fingers. She does pull on the leash a little at the beginning of our walks but does relax as we go. She is crate trained, she goes in easily. She loves to just stick next to you. She likes to curl up underneath our desks while we work. She likes playing with toys, especially squeaky toys. We also sometimes get cats in and around our home and she is curious but doesn’t really react and gives them their space.

Candy is ready for her second chance, so won’t you give her a chance?

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.
