My story

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

Apollo is a very handsome, 2 year old boy that came to us from the streets of Montgomery county where he was found wandering as a stray. How he ended up there is anyone’s guess but he’s living a much better life now with his foster and is ready for his forever home. Apollo is a happy-go-lucky boy that gets along with everyone and everything he meets. He’s done very well with both small and large dogs in his foster home (he even gets along with the resident elder shih tzu who usually doesn’t get along with anyone haha). Apollo is what you’d call a “Velcro dog.” He likes to be by your side and involved in everything - he even enjoys helping with housework! Apollo is coming out of his shell more and more each day - he’s a goofy guy that loves to play but also loves to snuggle and get scratches. Despite being a former street dog, Apollo seems to be housetrained. He does well hanging out in his crate when his foster mom is gone, walks well on a leash and is just an all around great dog. He’s learning a few manners in his foster home and picking up on things very quickly. All Apollo is really missing is a family of his own. Could that be you? Reach out to set up a meeting with Apollo, he’d love to see you!

Adoption application

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.
