My story

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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Opie is a very dear, intelligent, affectionate and special dog who is in a foster home and looking for his forever family.  He was dumped outside their home in Sept 2024 and they have been taking care of him and getting him ready for the next phase in his life.

He will thrive with an experienced family that is home a lot and has lots of time to give him love, exercise, play and training to show him he is safe.   A fully fenced in yard with another young, friendly dog would be ideal.  

He adores his two young boys (6 and 8 years old).   He plays fetch and he loves to play soccer with the boys as a defender. Most of all he just loves to be with you and will lay at your feet. He is treat motivated and quick to learn.

He loves other dogs, he is currently being slowly introduced to the resident 10 year old female rescue, but they do walks together.  He is submissive to her when she gives hints he is too much.

Opie has been working with a trainer.  He knows basic commands SIT, STAY, MAT, DOWN and PAW and goes to the door and barks to go out to potty.  Watch his youtube video that shows how smart he is

He can be reactive to new people and cars and needs a family or person who is willing to continue his training and show him that people are not scary or mean or will abandon him.

Opie is such a wonderful pup, and he deserves the best. His foster family is willing to do several meet and greets and can even coordinate communication between the previous trainer. They are willing to stay involved and will watch Opie when his forever family goes on vacations/out of town.   

Opie will be a devoted and adoring pup to the lucky family who gives him his forever home.

More about this rescue

We are a group of German Shepherd lovers who help homeless German Shepherds and Shepherd mixes that are in dire straits and need rescue.

We rescue dogs from kill shelters or other situations where the dogs' life is in danger. We fully vet our dogs and our wonderful fosters care for our dogs until their "forever home" is found!

We are a dating service for dogs, helping potential adopters find the perfect match for their families. We will work with you tirelessly until we find the perfect fit for your family!

We make a lifetime commitment to every dog and every adopter and we are there to answer questions and help with the transition to your home.

Why do we do it? We LOVE dogs, especially German Shepherds and Shepherd mixes and it breaks our hearts that so many adoptable GSD's never make it out of shelters.

We are an all volunteer group and are always looking for new volunteers to help us in our mission to save dogs!

FOSTERS, we need YOU!!!!

We need fosters to provide a safe haven while a dog is waiting for his/her forever home! If you think you cannot foster because you couldn't let your foster dog leave, talk to us!! While many of us have adopted one or more of our fosters ( we call it Failing Fostering 101 !!!) we can tell you how wonderful it is to see your foster become a beloved addition to a new family.............and opens up a space to save another dog on death row!

If you have any questions at all about fostering please give us a shout and we are happy to answer all questions.

If you cannot foster, we always need volunteers to help host events, do fundraising and PR .

And , of course, we always need donations to pay the vets who keep our dogs healthy and the trainers who help us with doggie manners!

Donations are always welcome and very much appreciated!
