Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Two Very Special GSD–Malinois Puppies RUBY and MARSHALL Born on October 19, 2025, these two beautiful German Shepherd–Malinois mix puppies came to us as part of an accidental litter. What they lack in a planned beginning, they more than make up for in personality and promise. Both pups are happy, social, and eager to engage with the world. They are at that wonderful age where curiosity meets enthusiasm, and they’re ready to start learning what it means to be part of a family. These puppies will grow into intelligent, active, and devoted companions. Like all Shepherd-type dogs, they will need consistent training, structure, and daily mental and physical enrichment to help them mature into confident, well-mannered adults. In return, they’ll offer loyalty, affection, and a deep bond with their people. Adopting one of these pups is a 10–12 year commitment—to training, veterinary care, exercise, and patience as they grow. For the right family, that commitment will be repaid many times over with love, partnership, and a truly grateful canine family member. If you’re ready to invest the time and heart it takes to raise a Shepherd-Malinois puppy, one of these sweet souls may be waiting just for you. applying to adopt one of our puppies, please remember : Up to the age of 8 months old, puppies cannot be left alone for a standard 8-9 work day.      Arrangements will have to be in place for 4 hour intervals until the pups are at least 8 months old. Having someone with them every 4 hours until they are older greatly facilitates the housebreaking process as well as assists with the general  socialization  of your pup ! If you are not yet approved to adopt from All Shepherd Rescue, please fill out our online application at www.allshepherdrescue.com. Our adoption fee is $350.00 Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 17, 2026, 12:19 am

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Sargie is a dear family dog who urgently needs to find a new home since his current family members have health issues and can no longer care for him. He is a smart, lovable 9 1/2 year old who is happy to sit with his family, run around the yard and play with his toys.  He wants to be your one-and-only in a quiet, yet active home.  He enjoys walks (wears a training collar so that he doesn't pull) and loves car rides. Sargie will thrive in a home with a family or person who have the love and time to spend with a quintessential shepherd; exercising, playing, training and enjoying all of life's joyful moments.  He is a devoted and loyal companion dog. Sargie comes with a paid lifetime training program with K9Koncepts so you can start sharing and bonding right away.

Story
With a heavy heart, I’m looking for a wonderful home for Smokey, my purebred black German Shepherd. He’ll be 7 years old in December and weighs about 130–140 lbs. Smokey has been a loyal, gentle, and faithful companion, and it saddens me deeply to have to part with him. Due to ongoing medical issues, I can no longer give him the care and attention he deserves. Smokey is looking for a loving home where he will be cherished as much as he has been with me. If you have experience with large dogs and can provide him with the love, time, and space he needs, please reach out. Finding the right family for Smokey is my top priority — he deserves the best

Story
Hi, my name is peanut! Although I am four years old, I have the energy of a 100 pound puppy. I am a German Shepherd and I live at home with another dog, two kids. I previously lived with up to three cats at one point and did very well. I think it’s because of my big size that other dogs sometimes dont like me. But whenever I go to the dog park, I play really well with all the dogs. I know all the commands. I just choose to follow them… well sometimes. I’m extra good with E-collar training though and have had extensive training in the past. I just need someone who is experienced with GSD and can be consistent with training to really help me shine!
