Story
Meet Millie!- 6 months- Black GSD Millie is available in our Puppy Adoption program due to her young age. We saved her from euthanasia at a overcapacity shelter where she was completely shut down sharing an outside kennel with 7 dogs. She was afraid of everything at first but with lots of love and attention in her foster home she has really blossomed. She loves to play with other dogs, is on the submissive side in play, and enjoys cuddling with you every chance she gets! Watch out for her gentle paw if you stop belly rubs she will let you know to keep going! :) Suprisingly as a puppy she tends to go to bed early on her own and sometimes will put herself in her kennel and go to sleep. She does well in her kennel and does give you good indications when she needs to go to the bathroom. She is still learning how a leash works and how much fun walks can be, and with time we know she will gain her confidence with all the new smells and sounds she encounters on her adventures! Millie is such a bright and cheery girl that is so excited to find her forever family and furry companion(s) to call home! Approval Requirements for GSRTX puppies: -Not left alone for long periods of time -Another large breed playful dog for socialization -Preferably a yard to play so no apartments please Interested in adding Millie to your family? Start the process by filling out an application at www.gsrtx.org/adoption-application for approval.

Mars is incredibly smart and lovable. He is very trainable and has a strong desire to please. Mars would need some time to work with him so can be properly house-trained. He tends to jump when excited, but is very gentle when calm. Beware of lots of kisses! He tends to be very persistent in his affection. Mars rarely barks and is great with other dogs and people. Mars loves to cuddle and is very social. He prefers to be near people and other dogs. He doesn't know a stranger!
