My story

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

*Located in Madison, Wisconsin*
Meet Princess Karoline! Mom was a GSD & dad was a Malinois/Dutchie mix. All the puppies in this litter are high drive and high energy. They will need experienced homes that will give them a job to do. They will need owners that have the time and resources to commit to training and exercising them. She will be a VERY, VERY busy girl with a lot of energy. She is a loyal "shadow dog" looking for a patient leader to help her shine. Unlike her more independent siblings, Karoline thrives on companionship and will happily follow you from room to room to ensure she doesn’t miss a moment of the action.
Karoline is a sensitive soul who wears her heart on her sleeve. While she has a great natural drive, she can be a bit unsure in new situations and needs a "soft" touch to help build her bravery. When she feels overwhelmed or frustrated, she tends to shut down, so she is looking for an encouraging owner who uses positive reinforcement to turn her "I can't" into "I can!"
Princess Karoline’s Ideal Match:
• A Confident Mentor: She needs a patient owner experienced in confidence-building to help her navigate her occasional anxieties.
• The Only "Queen" (Potentially): Karoline has a dominant play style. She may do best as an only dog or in a home with a submissive male; a home with another female dog is likely not the best fit.
• An Active Household: She is vocal and "over the top" with her energy, making her a fun companion for families with older children who can handle her enthusiastic personality.
• Consistent Routine: She is already making great strides with potty training and thrives on a steady schedule.
If you are looking for a devoted partner who will be your biggest fan, Princess Karoline is ready to blossom in a home that offers her the security and love she craves.

More about this rescue

Founded in 2005, we are a volunteer home-based rescue group run by dedicated volunteers. Our dogs live in volunteer homes as family members with the same love, care and attention they would receive in an adoptive home.

We provide training, socialization, vet care and evaluation for all of the dogs in our care. All of our dogs are vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed or neutered prior to adoption.

GSDRI is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization licensed by the state of Iowa.
