My story

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

*Located in Madison, Wisconsin*
Meet Gloria! 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.
Gloria is a spirited and independent soul looking for a partner who speaks her language. While her siblings are busy social butterfly-ing, Gloria is the observant one—a "thinker" who values her personal space and isn't afraid to march to the beat of her own drum.
In her foster home, Gloria has shown a sophisticated, calmer side and does well living with older children. She is perfectly content spending time on her own, making her an excellent match for a household that appreciates a dog who isn't "velcroed" to your side.
Gloria’s Ideal Match:
• Experienced Handler: She is a high-drive, "intense" girl who needs a leader familiar with working breeds or high-energy dogs.
• A Job to Do: With her high drive and vocal enthusiasm for games like tug, she would thrive in a "working home" environment (think agility, scent work, or advanced obedience).
• The "Collector" Lifestyle: Gloria is a toy enthusiast (and a bit of a hoarder!), so she’ll need a home that can manage her possessiveness with structure and positive reinforcement.
• Emotional Intelligence: She is a sensitive, emotional girl who doesn’t like feeling held back. She needs a patient owner who can help her navigate her frustration tolerance with confidence.
Gloria isn't just a pet; she’s a project and a partner. If you are looking for a dog with serious potential and a strong personality, Gloria is ready to work for you.

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.
