Story
18 month old Angelo lost his home due to divorce and landed in a shelter.  The shelter staff contacted GSROC as he had quickly become a shelter favorite. Angelo spent a few days at the home of one of our volunteers.   He is a happy guy who got along well with the other dogs in her home.  Angelo is always ready to play and have fun.  After all – he still has lots of puppy playfulness inside. This boy sometimes takes his role of protector a bit too seriously.  He needs an experience owner who will provide him with the structure and limits he craves.   For that reason, we recommend him for a quieter, adult home . Please go to our website and complete an adoption application at: /https://www.gsroc.org/application/  An adoption counselor will contact you to go over your application and assist you in determining which dog may be best for your particular situation.

Story
Lucille is a small, energetic girl whose human became could no longer care for Lucille and her brother, Dante. Lucille can be a little shy with new people, but she bonds quickly and will be loyal forever. Lucille is active and loves to play fetch. She will throw the ball/toy back to you to engage you! On her walks, Lucille is interested in everything she sees and smells. She could use a bit of leash training to contain her excitement. She loves her brother Dante, and they play well together, but she was never socialized with other dogs, so a home as an only dog, or with her brother are ideal for her. Lucille is a powerhouse looking for a safe, experienced shepherd-savvy home.

Dalton

German Shepherd Dog

Male, 1 yr 11 mos
Newport Beach, CA
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Dalton is a spitfire! He is a busy, bouncy, nosy puppy who thinks that he is the center of the universe. Soon after arriving at GSROC, Dalton bounced his way into a fractured leg, so he had to wear a splint for several weeks. He found that most unflattering and annoying and he had a lot to say about it. Dalton is out of his splint now and learning boundaries. His ideal home will be familiar with a bossy puppy. He loves to play with other dogs. Dalton is fearful of strangers at first, but quickly warms up once he knows that he is safe. We recommend a home with older children as he doesn’t care for bikes, skateboards or roller skates. Dalton is a diamond in the rough that just needs a little polish. Someone patient, gentle and with GSD experience is all it will take to get him on the path to success.

Story
Buddy Boy was found with no collar, tag or chip. Good Samaritans tried and tried to find his original family, but no one ever stepped forward. Buddy is a rough and tumble kinda guy, approximately 6 years old according to our vet. Buddy is currently on canned puppy food and some supplements to balance out his gut health and help him feel better. Buddy needs a patient and gentle, but experienced hand. He bonds quickly and loves nothing more than to be around his person. He is house trained and excellent inside, very mellow, but he is a powerhouse on walks. Buddy has a very loyal and protective disposition. He is independent and smart and attentive. However, he can be protective of his resources as he gets to know new people. Buddy hasn’t received much socialization around other animals in his life and has decided he likes being an only dog and having all of the attention. Buddy is ready to please his person but needs some patient coaching on just what that means. Buddy Boy would thrive in a quiet, adult home where he can be your loyal companion.

Click Here to Sponsor Me!  Adoption APPLICATION: Muttsinneed.org/adoption-application   ** Application must be completed prior to a meet & greet.                                   Our Adoption Process:Muttsinneed.org/adoption-process  Hi! My name is Honey and I definitely live up to my name. My foster mom says she calls me Honey because I am super sweet. I'm a little shy at first, but as soon as I know I can trust you, I just want your love & to love you. Psst... this can easily be accomplished by brushing me!! (Hint, hint!!)     I am a female, Belgian Malinois mix and around 3 yrs young. I play well with other dogs of all sizes, I'm ok with cats & children. Sometimes I do like chasing squirrels though because they sit there and laugh at me.    I was abandoned by my owner when they moved and left Blue & I behind. I was forced to live outside with Blue in the front yard of my old house. The new residents wouldn't let us come inside and fed us their scraps if they had any. Then, one day, Blue and I were out front playing and some scary person just snatched me up and took me to this stinky, scary place that had a bunch of other dogs there. I didn't like that place. After being there a few weeks I was scheduled to be put down, but thankfully an independent Rescuer, who originally saw me on the street and was trying to help me saw my picture along with my buddy Blue, and found a rescue to come save me. I arrived at my foster mom’s house and I was so happy to see my buddy Blue there too!! He's my best friend, my rock, my solid, my everything. I'm a very well behaved girl! I love to play hide and seek with Blue. I'm submissive and avoid confrontation. I still need some help with basic commands, but in time, I will get there. I am a people pleaser and wouldn't want to disappoint you!   To meet me submit an application at:https://www.muttsinneed.org/adoption-application.html  March 30, 2025, 11:35 pm
