  Rex is a stunning 2-year-old German Shepherd with a loyal heart and an eager spirit. At 78 lbs, he’s the perfect size for adventure—and snuggles! This handsome boy is looking for a loving, active home where he can be part of the family and enjoy plenty of time with his people.

Story
Meet Sage! Sage is an absolutely beautiful German Shepherd pup, born at the end of May. He’s full of energy, curiosity, and puppy charm! Like most shepherds, Sage is both smart and active—he’ll thrive in a home that can give him plenty of exercise, playtime, and opportunities to learn. Because he’s still young and growing, we think Sage would do best with a family that has older kids who can keep up with his playful spirit and help with his training. Shepherds are quick learners, and Sage will blossom with consistent guidance, positive reinforcement, and lots of love. If you’re looking for a loyal, energetic companion to join you on adventures and cuddle up with afterward, Sage may be the perfect match. Could Sage be the newest member of your family?   If you are interested in adopting/meeting this pup , please complete our online adoption application that you can find here: https://www.starfishanimalrescue.com/adopt/dog-adoption-application  .

Meet Barrett, a handsome 5-year-old German Shepherd weighing in at 82 lbs. This loyal boy is fully housebroken and ready to find his forever family.

Story
Looking to rehome my 3 yr old black german shepard. She is spayed and update to date on her shots. She is amazing with kids and loves cats. With other dogs she is the alpha and will get aggressive towards them especially with food. I would suggest her being the only dog. With her being a shepard, she needs a lot of exercise and to keep busy. My husband and I work alot and unfortunately unable to give her the attention she needs. I would love to see her go to a home that will give her all the love and affection she needs.
