German Shepherd Dog puppies and dogs in Aurora, Colorado

  Animal Rescue of the Rockies believes every pet should find a wonderful and caring home. To ensure Amber Lynn finds the best possible home, we ask you fill out our adoption application so we can learn more about you and your household. We review each application in the order submitted and will contact you within 48 hours  (please check your spam folder for our emails) .   Amber Lynn | 1-Year-Old Shepherd Mix | Gentle Soul Learning to Trust Amber Lynn is a 1-year-old, 35-pound black-and-brown shepherd mix with a beautiful coat and a soft, sensitive heart. She is a sweet, calm, and friendly young dog who is still learning that the world—and people—can be kind. Amber Lynn is house trained and uses a doggie door, with little to no accidents, though as with any dog, occasional accidents can happen when adjusting to a new environment. She settles well and sleeps soundly through the night - she loves climbing into bed with her foster sister to cuddle and snooze through the night. She does great when left alone for short periods (up to about two hours) with other dogs in the house. Amber Lynn has positive interactions with other dogs of all sizes and especially enjoys playing with them outside. Given her history of living with many dogs, she seems to take comfort in canine companionship and would likely do best in a home with another dog. She has not met cats yet. She does well with older children and has been comfortable around kids ages 10 and up. While she was initially more comfortable with women, she has warmed up nicely to men and now enjoys quiet couch time and gentle affection from her foster family. Leashes are still a work in progress for Amber Lynn and currently feel overwhelming for her, but her foster plans to start gently introducing leash training. She has a medium energy level—happy with short bursts of activity and play, followed by plenty of downtime and naps. She knows basic cues like “come” and “no,” responds well to structure, and is motivated by both food and affection. She loves treats (especially gravy-flavored milk bones) but hasn’t quite discovered a favorite toy yet. Amber Lynn can be shy and a bit nervous, especially with certain types of touch, and may back away at first. However, when given time and space, she shows just how affectionate she can be—resting her head on your lap, snuggling on the couch, and curling up close to her canine companion at bedtime. She has made steady progress since coming into foster care and continues to grow more confident each day. Occasionally, she may chew on things when left alone, though this happens infrequently. Her ideal home would be a patient, calm household with another dog, where she can continue building confidence at her own pace and enjoy a lifetime of gentle love and companionship.   If you and the dog are a good match then we'll connect you with our dog's foster parents to chat more in-depth. If both you and the foster agree that the dog is a good fit then a meet and greet is scheduled. We require applicants' dogs to meet ours to ensure they get along. We'll ask you to read and sign our adoption agreement and pay the adoption fee to complete the adoption when it comes time. Our adoption fees help cover the costs of saving more lives!  A home visit will be scheduled within one week of your new pet going home with you.  The adoption fee for this pet is $375. Our adoption fee covers the following: Spay/neuter Microchip DAPP vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog.  Rabies vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog. Adopters shall be responsible for all vaccinations after adoption. Please fill out an adoption application by clicking  here . Please give us 48 hours to review your application and respond to you. (Remember to check your spam folder for our emails!) We want our pets to go to a lifelong new home, so thank you for your patience during the adoption process! Please email dogs@arrcolorado.org for more information, as we can't accept calls. PLEASE NOTE:  The breed listed is the information we've received from the shelter.  Shelters usually guess at the breed, so there is no guarantee, as we don't DNA test our foster pets.  Here is some interesting info on breed identification:  https://arrcolorado.org/category/puppy-dog-tips/ Our adoption process is: 1. Fill out our Adoption Application online.  We'll contact you within 48 hours to answer any questions you may have about the pet. 2. If the pet looks like a great match, we'll schedule a meet and greet and ask you to fill out our online Adoption Agreement if you'd like to proceed with adopting.  Once you've completed the Adoption Agreement and pay the pet's Adoption Fee, you can arrange to pick up your new furry family member!

This dog is a courtesy listing and not one of our dogs. Please contact the email listed in this post. For more information, please contact Tyler at lisadoane@gmail.com or text (720) 938-9309 Hazel Mae: 15½-Month-Old German Shepherd Hazel Mae is a young sable German Shepherd, approximately 15½ months old and around 90 pounds. She is an adolescent working-breed dog with high energy, strong curiosity, and a genuine desire to engage with her people. Hazel is intelligent, observant, and eager to learn, and she does best with structure, routine, and consistent guidance. Background & Health Hazel was born on September 30, 2024, at her original home and raised alongside her littermate sister. She had early exposure to other dogs and livestock. On November 25, 2025, both dogs were surrendered to Boulder Humane Society due to family financial hardship. Hazel was spayed and brought up to date on vaccinations while at the shelter. After adoption, we continued her veterinary care through Longs Peak Animal Hospital. During her initial adjustment period, she received short-term behavioral medication to help manage stress related to multiple transitions. As she settled into a calm, structured environment, she transitioned fully off daily medication and now regulates well with routine, enrichment, and predictability. Hazel is spayed, microchipped, and fully up to date on vaccinations. All veterinary and shelter documentation will transfer with her. Foster Placement Context Hazel’s foster home has prior experience with German Shepherds and other long-haired breeds. Unfortunately, despite best efforts, Hazel cannot remain long term due to significant allergy-related health issues caused by her shedding and dander. This decision is based solely on medical necessity and not on Hazel’s behavior or temperament. She is deeply loved, and her foster family is fully committed to helping her transition into the right next placement. Personality & Temperament Hazel is affectionate, people-oriented, and highly attuned to human energy. She is not aggressive toward people. She can be enthusiastic during greetings and is still developing impulse control, which continues to improve with consistent boundaries and repetition. Calm, neutral introductions help her settle more quickly. Hazel is a classic Shepherd “leaner” who enjoys close physical contact and loves belly rubs. She frequently seeks affection and will gently offer a paw for attention. At times, she may communicate needs through jumping, light mouthing, or air snapping. This behavior reflects her herding-style communication rather than aggression. In many cases, jumping indicates she needs to go outside to use the bathroom or is attempting to communicate a specific need. This remains a work in progress and continues to improve with consistency, clear cues, and routine. Hazel is highly curious and environmentally aware. She likes to know what her people are doing and will investigate new activity. This curiosity makes her engaging and enjoyable to work with, but it also means she benefits from clear structure, supervision, and guidance. Life in the Home & Yard Hazel is generally respectful indoors and not destructive. She does not chew furniture. However, if left unattended or unsupervised and she becomes bored, she may get into minor mischief. Supervision and engagement are important for her success at this stage. She may occasionally pick up shoes or socks and relocate them without damage. Hazel enjoys plush toys and appropriate chewing items, which help her self-regulate, particularly in the evenings. She is crate trained but does not currently require a crate in our home and does fine without it. Baby gates are in place to keep her from roaming the house during this stage. In the yard, Hazel does best with supervision. When bored, she may investigate items within reach and has a tendency to eat stool if not watched. She often prefers having her person nearby during bathroom breaks. Hazel has a prey drive and may chase squirrels or birds but does not appear to be a fence runner, or a big barker. She barks more to alert or try to initiate play. Calm outdoor time focused on sniffing and exploration helps her stay regulated. Hazel enjoys snow and would benefit from a home with space to move, explore, and engage her senses. Training & Energy Needs Hazel is intelligent, treat motivated (she loves Blue Bits), and eager to learn. She understands basic cues including sit, stay, down, come, leave it, and place. She responds well to clear markers such as “yes” followed by a treat reward, particularly for sitting and down, making eye contact, and offering calm behaviors. Hazel has high energy consistent with a large adolescent working dog. Mornings are her most energetic time. She benefits from a balanced routine that includes physical movement, training, mental enrichment, and intentional downtime. Structured routines that incorporate activity followed by calming exercises, such as treated downs or chewing sessions, help her settle and succeed. She enjoys flirt pole play, chase, and fetch, though fetch is kept structured to avoid overstimulation. She excels at enrichment activities such as sniff-and-find games that combine movement with thinking. Leash Walking & Other Animals Leash walking is a work in progress. Hazel may pull on shorter leashes but checks in well on longer (extendable) ones. She can be reactive to reactive dogs and would benefit from a knowledgeable handler experienced in reading dog body language and managing introductions. She has not been introduced to other dogs while in our care. Hazel’s reaction to cats is currently unknown. One brief exposure during a stressful transition resulted in barking at a closed sliding glass door. A cat-free home or one prepared for slow, controlled introductions would be a better fit. Ideal Home Hazel would thrive in an experienced German Shepherd or working-breed home that understands adolescent development, high energy, and the importance of structure and consistency. She needs regular mental and physical engagement, clear expectations, and supervision appropriate for her age and size. Her exposure to children is unknown; a home with older children or one committed to slow, thoughtful introductions would be most appropriate. Hazel is a work in progress in the best sense of the phrase. She is a young, intelligent dog with significant potential who is still learning how to regulate her energy and communicate her needs. With the right guidance, consistency, and patience, she has all the qualities needed to become an exceptional companion. January 27, 2026, 10:19 am

  Animal Rescue of the Rockies believes every pet should find a wonderful and caring home. To ensure Adrian #1 finds the best possible home, we ask you fill out our adoption application so we can learn more about you and your household. We review each application in the order submitted and will contact you within 48 hours  (please check your spam folder for our emails) .   Adrian | 7-month-old German Shepherd Mix | A curious, energetic explorer Adrian is a sweet, intelligent, and high-energy puppy with a big personality and an infectious zest for life. At just six months old, he’s still learning the ropes, but his curiosity and eagerness to engage with the world make him a joy to be around. He’s almost fully housetrained, knows that going outside means potty time, and is learning to signal by standing at the door or whining. He does well being crated for several hours at a time and typically settles after a short period of initial whining, making good progress for a pup his age. Adrian absolutely loves toys, chew bones, fetch, food enrichment puzzles, and exploring the outdoors. Walks are one of his favorite activities, though he is currently working through some leash reactivity to people, dogs, and wheeled objects. He can also get jumpy and excited, both inside the house and on walks, but he responds extremely well to positive reinforcement and is already learning commands like “leave it,” “down,” and “stop.” With consistency and continued training, he has all the tools to mature into a well-mannered companion. Affectionate and playful, Adrian enjoys cuddling once his exercise needs are met and often shows his love by resting his head on you, offering a paw, or rolling over for belly rubs. He does well with other dogs, particularly larger, calm, submissive females, and would thrive in an active home with plenty of space and someone who enjoys hiking, running, or other outdoor adventures. Adrian is best suited for an adopter who understands puppy energy, is committed to ongoing training, and can provide the structure, patience, and activity he needs to truly flourish.   If you and the dog are a good match then we'll connect you with our dog's foster parents to chat more in-depth. If both you and the foster agree that the dog is a good fit then a meet and greet is scheduled. We require applicants' dogs to meet ours to ensure they get along.

  Animal Rescue of the Rockies believes every pet should find a wonderful and caring home. To ensure Sally #4 finds the best possible home, we ask you fill out our adoption application so we can learn more about you and your household. We review each application in the order submitted and will contact you within 48 hours  (please check your spam folder for our emails) .   Sally #4 | 7 years | German Shepherd mix with a soft side Sally is a 7-year-old German Shepherd mix weighing about 65 pounds with beautiful brown-and-black coloring and a heart that truly loves her people. She is affectionate, sweet, and enjoys being close to her humans—belly rubs are a favorite, and she is always happy to curl up for cuddles once she feels comfortable. While she can be a bit shy and nervous at first, she warms up with patience and consistency and shows a loyal, protective side to those she trusts. Sally is fully house trained and uses a doggie door with little to no accidents; however, as with many dogs, occasional accidents could happen while she adjusts to a new environment. She is comfortable being left alone for 6–8 hours with other dogs in the house and will settle after some initial barking at outside noises, which is easily redirected with commands. Crate training is going great—she goes in willingly, sleeps through the night, and often chooses her kennel for daytime naps. She knows several basic commands, including come, sit, stay, no, and wait, and responds well to structure and clear boundaries. On leash, Sally can find walks stressful and may bark or react when she sees other dogs, people, or wheeled objects, though she is easily redirected and has no issues with large vehicles like trucks or motorcycles. She enjoys walks overall, as well as car rides, toys, chewing bones, and playing with her stuffies. Around other dogs, she does best with dogs her own size and has successfully bonded with a same-size dog in her foster home. She can be protective around food and toys, offering warning growls if another dog gets too close, so thoughtful management and continued training are important. Sally has not yet been tested with cats or children. She has no preference for men or women and truly loves people. Her energy level falls between medium and high—she enjoys daily activity and playtime but is also able to relax and settle when it is time to unwind. Her ideal home is a patient, active family with strong leadership who will give her time to build trust and confidence. Sally would thrive in a stable, loving home committed to helping her feel safe and secure for the long term.     If you and the dog are a good match then we'll connect you with our dog's foster parents to chat more in-depth.

Meet Miss Mable! This sweet tripod shepherd mix is looking for a home who will love her forever! Mable is a family friendly pup who loves treats, toys, pets and exploration time. Could Mable be the perfect fit for you? Come find out today!

Hansel and Gretel are two gentle, slightly shy dogs who seem like they walked right out of a storybook. At first, they treat softly, sticking close to each other as they explore the big, unfamiliar "forest" of new people and places. But with patience and kindness, their bravery grows, and their sweet, loyal hearts shine through. Like the classic tale, they're searching for a safe, loving home where they can leave their worries behind and begin a happier chapter. Hansel and Gretel are ready for their fairytale ending.  If you're interested in adopting me, fill out an adoption application online at www.polkcountyhumanesociety.org/adopt where you will also find a link to reserve me for an appointment. Some pets are in foster homes or may already have an appointment scheduled, so the appointment is important to make sure I will be available to meet you when you come. Polk County Humane Society is located in Bolivar, Missouri, but also makes transports to the Denver, CO, Des Moines, IA and St. Louis areas twice monthly. For potential adopters in those areas, we can do a virtual visit using FaceTime or another app. Just request an appointment using the same link, but note that you want the visit to be virtual. We will call you at the time of the visit once it is confirmed. For long distance transports to Colorado and Iowa, there is an additional $100 fee to cover the cost of the transport ($65) and a health certificate from a veterinarian ($35). For transports to St. Louis, the additional fee is $50 to help cover gas. Going that last mile home for our sweet pets! All of our pets are neutered or spayed, have vaccinations appropriate for their age, treated with flea/tick/heartworm prevention, dewormed and dogs are also microchipped. #adoptdontshop ##2594089##

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hi, my name is Willie and I'm a handsome, highly intelligent GSD/Husky mix. My DNA test says 80% German Shepherd.   For the last year, I've been living with a wonderful older couple, but I have too much energy for them, and they had a hard time meeting my needs. I lived with an older dog too but he passed away. I have been weaned off my  anxiety meds now that I'm in a foster home, and my exercise needs are being met.  I'd prefer a home without small children. I have been known to correct them with my mouth. Not a bite, just a hold.  When my foster parents let me outdoors, I'll patrol the property to make sure our turf is safe and secure. My foster parents have noticed that I'm uncomfortable around men who wear hats and sunglasses. I do have an independent nature, but I like to keep watch as to where my humans are. Besides playing fetch, I enjoy other outdoor adventures. I would love to find a home with a GSD/Husky-experienced adopter who will provide me with lots of exercise and mental stimulation. Adventure seekers, please take note! If you are interested, please go to adoptagsd.org and submit an online application. My adoption fee is $350.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.September 23, 2025, 9:34 am

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. AdoptaGSD.org   Please consider that some of these dogs have been abandoned or ignored by their previous owners, having little interaction with someone who cares about them. When adopted, they will need time to adjust to the changes in their life. Update: I have spent some time in a Board and Train program and the trainer reported that I arrived as an insecure, untrained dog who really didn't know even basic commands, and I was easily distracted or became over-stimulated. My insecurities led to excessive barking and nipping. The trainer worked with me using a calm, confident style while setting very clear boundaries, so I learned the difference between right and wrong. He recommends that I be adopted as an only dog, because when I'm around other dogs, I can get over-stimulated, which can spill over to other negative behaviors. I would love to find a home with a single person or couple who have a fairly quiet household (no kids). My adopter will need to continue with my training and set clear boundaries for me. The trainer will also provide a complimentary training session to help with the transition and discounted rates for additional training sessions. I would love to find my new person so I can show him or her how affectionate, loyal and devoted I can be!   Hi, I'm Gunner, a handsome 2 1/2 yr old boy who was surrendered to FRGSR by my former owner due to his failing health. My owner was sad to have to surrender me, but rather than abandoning me at a shelter where I may not have made it out, he asked FRGSR if they could help to find me a new home, and thankfully, they said yes. Losing my owner and my home has left me wondering what happened and I'm feeling a little unsure of things. I'm currently living in a foster home, and my foster mom has noted that I'm definitely a boy who needs an owner with GSD experience. I'm particular about my canine friends, because I like some, but not others. I'm crate trained and house trained.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.

When adopted, they will need time to adjust to the changes in their life. Update: For the last several months, I've been living with a foster who's also a dog trainer and I've made amazing progress!  I have done well around other dogs, both large and small, with proper introductions.  I LOVE to play fetch! I've also done well with the resident kitties. I've been non-reactive to people and other dogs while on walks. Nothing brings me more joy than pleasing my humans. My commands are spot-on, and I know sit/stay, down/stay, come, heel and place. I've had lots of fun accompanying my foster parents on hiking, camping and road trips. I'm a boy who thrives with structure, routine and proper exercise. I need a patient, experienced adopter who know breeds like me and lives in a house rather than a multi-unit complex. Is that you? Hi, my name is Gustaf, and I'm a 4 year old male GSD  who was adopted out in 2022 when I was a cute puppy then returned because I was given too much freedom which led to problems. I ended up chasing bicycles and I grabbed the mailman's calf while delivering mail one day.  I'm guarded when I first meet new people, but I do warm up over time with slow introductions, and once you're in my inner circle, I'm very affectionate and loving. The rescue is hoping to find a home without young children as they can open doors accidentally.

Hey there, I’m  Laki —a  2 year old mix  who was transferred to FRGSR after my former owner gave me away and then I ended up at a shelter.  I'm beautiful, fun-loving, and just starting a new chapter in life! I may not have those classic pointy shepherd ears (I prefer the laid-back look), but trust me, my personality is pure gold.   I’ve recently competed a  board and train program  to help me build confidence and become the best version of myself. I’m a total people-lover and thrive with structure and guidance. When it comes to other dogs, I’m definitely  selective —a girl knows what she wants!   Here’s a little about me:   &#226&#156&#133 Obsessed with affection – If you’ve got hands, they better be petting me. &#226&#156&#133 Always ready for adventure – running, playing, and soaking up the good life. &#226&#156&#133 Confident queen in training – building trust and learning at my pace. &#226&#156&#133 cats - not an issue    Stay tuned for updates as I learn and grow!

Bonnie is cautious with strangers at first, but give her a minute and she’ll be right by your side (literally… she will be your shadow, so watch your step ). She does great in a crate, gets along with dogs of all sizes. When she gets really excited? Cue the zoomies Fair warning: Bonnie is a professional kisser and is still learning puppy manners like not jumping or being mouthy—because yes, she is very much a puppy. Her soft eyes will absolutely stare into your soul, and while she’s curious about new things, she’s polite enough to walk away if she’s unsure. Overall, she’s a sweet, gentle, learning-as-she-goes kind of girl—and we’re loving every minute getting to know her. Whelped approximately Sept 1 2025.
