German Shepherd Dog puppies and dogs in Fall River, Massachusetts

Meet Calliope!Are you looking for a sweet, chill, older lady to share your space with? Calliope is your gal. She's the kind of older lady that carries candy in her purse and gives you money every time she sees you, not the kind that yells at cashiers and waitstaff...just FYI.Calliope just turned seven years old and she's about 46lbs. Records from her previous owner have her listed as a German Shepherd mix - mixed with what, we don't know, but she's got an award-winning smile and perfect white socks on her front feet.Calliope is a timid girl at first but it's understandable - if a dog isn't used a shelter setting, it can be overwhelming. It doesn't take much for her to warm up though and once she does, she's a love that has no problem rubbing all of her itchy spots all over you...and she has a lot of those. We're working on getting her allergies under control and they seem to be seasonal/environmental rather than based on diet/food.Again, Calliope is just a chill, mature lady looking for a snugglebuddy. She likes her walks and likes investigating all of the different smells. She does well with other dogs but prefers to sort of do her own things. She previously lived with cats and did well with them too...again, just sort of did her own thing. We would prefer kids 12+ just because we don't know if she's ever been around smaller kids.She hasn't shown much interest in toys while she's been here but that could change once she gets more comfy with her surroundings and all the new people...or she could just be a cute, decorative couch potato that rubs her face on you for scratchies.To apply, visit foreverpaws.com and click adopt to download our application.

Gally (Galaxy) is a playful, energetic, and snuggly 5 year old shepherd mix. She is 86 lbs, up to date on all shots and is spayed. She loves walks on & off leash, swimming, playing fetch, and cuddling on the couch. In a perfect world, she would spend her days outside playing and her nights curled up next to her owner getting tons of pets. She responds well to commands such as sit, stay, lay down, go, in, up, and down. Gally gets along well with most other dogs, particularly males. She is standoffish to new people at first, but as soon as you play or throw a ball, she is instantly your best friend.Gally is timid of loud, sudden noise and will often seek to run and hide when hearing things such as fireworks. She will growl at new people, but has never had a single instance of aggression toward anyone.We would not be trying to rehome our beloved dog, but have 2 small kids at home and simply cannot give Gally the life she deserves. She is perfect pup for someone looking for companionship.

As a Rescue do not euthanize dogs but dogs that are listed as URGENT are still waiting to be saved from animal control and they do euthanise. We can only save them when space is available or have an adopter. Dory is a 5-6 month German shepherd Weight 33lbs she has a special little face as her eyes are not level, she was born that way, it’s not a result of any injuries she’s perfectly fine apart from that. She has an extremely high prey drive so she needs the kind of adopter that is familiar with the breed and raise her properly. She appears to be a full blood shepherd.

Adoption Donation   $ 299 Located:  in RI  (Transportation costs included to the Northeast , plz ask for more details ) Age: approx @3 years old  Weight: 50lbs     Layne is a beautiful 3ish-year-old, 50 lb golden girl. Layne came to us pretty timid and scared of the world but has since gained a lot of confidence. Layne lives with other dogs, kids and a baby. She is great around kids.  She is a sweetheart; she does still get timid when in new homes and away from the people she knows and trust. Layne is pretty quiet. She is the only dog in the house who does not bark at the mailman .  Layne does best being able to run free and watch the birds fly by so a fenced yard is preferred. She does chase after the bunnies in the yard so I would say no cats but she hasn't been cat tested.  She does prefer women over men but lives perfectly  fine with my husband (She will give him a bark every once in a while). She absolutely  loves mellow  dogs. Poor girl is stuck in a house with 3 obnoxious male dogs.  She loves playing fetch, going on walks and treat time. She loves romping around the yard with her four-legged foster brothers. She does well with senior dogs as well.  If you have lots of love and patience to give a former shelter/Kentucky street dog, a fenced yard, and another friendly pup, please reach out to set up a meet and greet with this sweet girl.    If you are interested in adopting me, please fill out an application on our website  www.fohari.org  and email my foster parent for more information:    reginasfosterdogs@gmail.com Please verify the location and readiness of this dog with us.  Because we save lives from various locations through out the United States, some dogs may not be in New England yet, nor ready for immediate adoption.   Our adoption application can be found here: https://fohari.org/application/  Our Adoption Process:   Go to our website and select the animal you are interested in. ALL animals are in foster homes as we do NOT have a  shelter where you can visit. Some animals are in foster care in New England, and some are located in other states. If the initials following the animals name are a state, then that is the state where the animal is located. If initials are not a state, then those are the initials of the foster home outside of New England and you will not be able to meet the animal ahead of time. Complete our online application You will be contacted by phone or email by the foster parent  or a member of our adoption team and will have the opportunity to find out more about the animal, and ask any questions that you have to ensure the animal is a good fit for your household. If the animal is local, you can meet the animal, but you would not be able to take the dog home until you are approved to adopt.  From our end, we will check references and schedule a home visit.  If you live in an apartment, or a condo, we will need to verify permission to own the animal from your landlord or condo board. Please let your vet’s office and references know we will be contacting them. If your  references are positive, we will schedule a home visit by a volunteer. Please try to accommodate the home visit volunteer as most  have busy schedules. Delays in the visit will result in a delay in the adoption. Once you are approved, you will receive an e-mail with your  adoption contract attached. This e-mail will have details about pick up, the balance of the adoption fee that is owed, etc. Please email your signed & witnessed contract and pay your adoption fee in full, and for any animals located out of state, you will be contacted for details about transport to New England. Once you have paid your adoption fee in full and sent back your contract, you can make arrangement to pick up your animal from the foster home or from transport depending on where the animal is located. Please bring a harness, collar, ID tag and leash when you are picking up the dog unless otherwise instructed by the foster parent.
