Story
Affectionate, playful, and always up for a new adventure or challenge, Shiloh will bring lots of joy to his new home. I adopted him in April 2022, when he was 5 months old, as a little brother for my first pup, but have found the demands of raising 2 young working/sporting males in the city - and their behaviors together - to be more than I can manage as a single working mom. Shiloh is house trained, neutered, vaxed, and travels well in the car. Food motivated, he’s got great recall, responds to all the basic commands, learns quickly, luvs 2 please. Seeking active, dog-savvy family who love shepherds and are available most days to walk/hike, cuddle, play. Big enclosed yard and older dog/s (especially female) a bonus. Could also do well in quiet home.

Story
Meet Heidy — the gorgeous shepherd girl with a heart of pure gold Heidy is the kind of dog who stops you in your tracks — stunning, soulful, and loyal to her core. She’s a true thinker: a thoughtful girl who takes a moment to observe new situations before easing in. Once she feels settled, her whole personality blooms. She bonds deeply with her people and looks to them for reassurance — and when she trusts you, she’ll choose you again and again. Heidy loves other dogs and thrives with a playful pup at home. She’s gentle, sweet, and happiest exploring the outdoors, going for walks, or making a little “nest” out of her toys on the couch or in her crate (it’s adorable ).   This beautiful girl is the perfect blend of thoughtful and fun — a loyal best friend with an old-soul heart and a soft spot for her people. 1–2 yrs old / 50 lbs Stunning shepherd mix Dog friendly + thrives with another playful pup Deeply bonded to her humans; looks for reassurance Thoughtful & gentle in new situations Crate trained & potty trained Altered, vaccinated & microchipped Fostered locally in MA — apply today to meet your new loyal bestie! *Please note: We're an all-volunteer organization, and incomplete applications cannot be processed.* If you're interested in adopting a GBP rescue PAL, please submit an application through the link below.

Meet Melly! This gorgeous five-year-old adores her toys more than anything else in the world. She’s never met a stuffy she didn’t want to play with! Melly is as sweet as can be and loves spending time with people, but she’d prefer to be the only dog in her home so she can soak up all the attention for herself. Melly has been busy brushing up on her obedience skills in training, and is now ready to meet her forever family!

Story
Sweet Charity Rose is a happy, loving, and energetic lady. Don’t let her age fool you, this girl loves long walks on the beach, riding in the car, and playing in the yard. She is social and enjoys meeting new people with an excited bark. She was tolerant of cats at her original home. She has been socialized around people and dogs of all ages. Charity Rose came to us after her owner died. Her extended family tried several different living arrangements, but ultimately could not find one that gave her the best and most fulfilling life. They knew how much her deceased owner loved her and they wanted Charity Rose to be happy. Therefore, they called us for help. In her foster home, Charity Rose is relearning some basic training and leash manners. She would enjoy a family to spend time with her. She wants your attention and to be your loyal companion. Could that be you? https://gsrne.org/dog-bios/charity-rose

Are you an experienced German Shepherd owner looking for your next loyal, driven companion? Buddy is a young, high-energy GSD from a working dog line, and he’s looking for a home that understands what that really means. This boy isn’t just smart — he thrives on structure, challenge, and purpose. Buddy has a solid foundation in obedience and is quick to learn, eager to work, and always ready to engage. He does great in daycare with other dogs, but he needs a home where he can be more than just a pet — he needs a job, a leader, and an outlet for his energy. Buddy will do best in an active home with someone who knows the breed — someone who understands the mental and physical needs of a working-line shepherd and can continue to guide him as he matures. Whether it’s advanced training, agility, hiking, or daily structured activity, Buddy is ready to go all in with you. This is a special dog for someone looking for more than your average companion — Buddy is a partner in the making. Working-line German Shepherd High energy, active, driven Excellent obedience foundation Good with other dogs in daycare Needs structure, purpose, and daily engagement If you’re ready for a true partnership, Buddy is waiting for you.
