Nora

German Shepherd Dog Rhodesian Ridgeback

Female, Adult
Attalla, AL
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Meet Nora! Nora is a stunning 4-year-old, 60 lb Rhodesian Ridgeback/German Shepherd mix with a loyal heart and a love for her people. She’s the kind of dog who wants to be right by your side — your shadow, your adventure buddy, your best friend. This smart girl is housebroken, crate trained, and fully obedience trained. She walks beautifully on a leash and loves being part of whatever her humans are doing. Nora’s story started off rough — she and her siblings were found abandoned in a box on the side of the road as tiny puppies. Thanks to a wonderful rescue mom, they all grew up healthy and strong and found homes. Nora’s first home wasn’t the perfect fit, but she’s ready for her true forever family now. Nora would do best as either an only dog or with a stable male companion, as she doesn’t get along well with other females. She also needs caution and supervision around cats. She is spayed, fully vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, and heartworm negative. Her adoption fee is $250. If you’re looking for a loving, loyal companion with great manners and a big heart, Nora is ready to be your girl!October 9, 2025, 10:16 pm

German Shepherd Dog Golden Retriever

Female, Adult

Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Meet Skye! Skye is a 3-year-old German Shepherd/Golden Retriever mix with a heart as big as her smile! When she was first picked up by animal control, she weighed only 43 lbs — but with love and care, she’s now a healthy 55 lbs and ready to find her forever home. This beautiful girl has a soft, medium-length coat and a gentle spirit. Though she’s still learning to trust and find her confidence, Skye absolutely thrives on praise and affection. She adores kids, enjoys spending time with cats, and is an all-around sweetheart once she feels safe. Skye isn’t a fan of female dogs, so she’d do best as your only pup or with a calm male companion. She did lose part of her right ear and now sports a docked tail after an old scuffle, but don’t worry — it hasn’t slowed her down one bit! Skye has been spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, and tested heartworm negative. Her adoption fee is $250. If you’re ready to give this resilient, loving girl the forever home she deserves, come meet Skye today — she’s waiting to steal your heart! October 21, 2025, 11:09 pm

Verity

German Shepherd Dog Australian Cattle Dog

Female, Young
Attalla, AL
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Verity is a 4-year-old, 65-lb German Shepherd/Cattle Dog mix (best guess!) with brains, energy, and a heart full of love. She’s a very quick learner and thrives on activity, making her a wonderful match for an active family who can keep her mind and body busy. This smart little lady is crate trained, completely housebroken, and quickly picking up leash manners and basic obedience. She loves people, gets along well with kids and dogs, but does have a high prey drive—so she will need caution and supervision around cats. Verity has been spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, and tested negative for heartworms. Her adoption fee is $250. To apply to adopt, visit roseacresrescue.org.September 20, 2025, 2:10 pm
