Details

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,

Story

Montana was born in April of 2021. He was born from a litter of 7 healthy stronge American bullies. Although I believe Montana was the runt he’s had a Neapolitan complex. He thinks he is bigger than he actually is. Montana hasn’t gotten much social interaction so he is iffy about meeting new people which is my fault not able to give him those social Interaction and not being able to be with him as much but once he gets to know you he is a good boy. I’d appreciate if you give Montana the chance to steal your heart and give him the best loving home.

Story

URGENT UPDATE FOR KOSHO Kosho is so close to finding his forever home—but first, he needs a little extra care. He’s currently dealing with dry skin, and we’re looking for a dedicated foster who can help him through treatment and work alongside our vet to get him feeling his best. By opening your home to Kosho, you’ll play a huge role in helping him become adoption-ready and giving him the fresh start he deserves. If you’re able to help, please visit gsgsr.org and fill out a foster application. Together, we can get Kosho one step closer to his new family. 🚨 Urgent: Kosho Needs a Forever Home 🚨 Kosho’s life changed overnight. Once living happily in a home with his fur sister, he now finds himself at a farm, staying in a barn and keeping company with chickens. While he’s making the best of it, he truly deserves a loving home again. Kosho is a 5-year-old big boy with an incredibly sweet nature. He’s friendly, calm, and very laid-back—the kind of dog who just wants to be near his people. Because of his size, he’d do best in a home with children over 12, and he may be able to live with the right female dog. 💙 He’s ready to leave the barn behind and become part of a family again. You can read his full story and find the adoption application on our website: gsgsr.org If you already have an application on file and are interested in Kosho, please email the rescue and include the name on your application or your application number. Please share to help Kosho find the home he deserves. 🐾

Story

Hi, I’m Forrest! 🐾 I hope you enjoy my little photo shoot! My friend Nadia @ Woofhouse Studio loves showing me off and helping me find my forever home. I’m growing into a handsome boy and getting stronger every day! I love being around people of all ages, and I get along great with other dogs and even cats. I absolutely adore my foster families, but I’m ready to find my forever family - one that will continue helping me grow stronger so I won’t have to rely on my wheelchair all the time. My foster families have done an amazing job socializing me. I can go just about anywhere! I especially love trips to the park, walks at the mall when the weather isn’t great, and meeting new people and pups. While I wait for my forever home, it would really help if someone could split fostering time with my current foster families. If that’s you, please fill out a foster application at gsgsr.org. And if you think I might be your perfect match, please fill out an adoption application at gsgsr.org. I can’t wait to meet you!

Story

🚨 URGENT: FOSTER OR ADOPTER NEEDED FOR ROSIE 🚨 Rosie is a 3-year-old girl who needs a special kind of home—one with patience, understanding, and confidence. She hasn’t been properly socialized, which means the world can feel overwhelming to her. She recently completed a board-and-train program to help her gain exposure to new people and dogs. While she can tolerate dogs at a distance, she’s not comfortable when they get too close. With people, Rosie just needs a some time and some patience, and she will start to warm up and show her gentle side. Right now, she’s in a temporary foster home, but we're eager to find her forever home so she can finally settle in and feel at home for good. Rosie will need to continue training with her new owners once she's adopted, and GSGSR will remain involved to help. Rosie needs:�• A confident, patient owner�• A calm, structured environment no other pets or children �• Someone willing to help her build trust and confidence at her own pace She’s may not be a “plug-and-play” dog—but for the right person, she will be incredibly rewarding. If you think you could be Rosie’s person (foster or adopt), please apply today at: gsgsr.org Let’s find Rosie the safe, loving home she deserves. 🐾
