Story
Luna is a 7-yr-old 37-lb mixed breed. Her genetic panel = 50% unknown, 50 % mix of chow, shepherd, & terrier. She is so cute and super smart! She enjoys playing tug, taking walks, playing hide & seek w/treats, & clicker training. Luna likes new friends, especially women. Once she trusts you, she is amazingly sweet! She does have periods of anxiety, which have exacerbated since her “person” started working 12-14 hrs day. Being alone so long is very difficult for her. Luna thrives on a predicable routine. An ideal home has family members who all give structure & keep up with her training. Luna likes to play w/other dogs but can be fearful of larger dogs. A few meet & greets for humans & a potential dog sibling would help Luna adjust to a new home. Please note: Luna likes to eat in peace and decide when to share her things. Before her current family knew her guarding issues, they received warning bites, but no medical attention was needed. Pls don't hold this against her! Thank you!

Story
This all black 1.5 year old cutie, needs a loving home. She has had training, and knows lots of commands, although she could use a little refresher. Zara will be your best friend to play ball with, go hiking, or join you on any adventure she can share with you. At the end of the day when it’s time to relax, she is happy to lay in her bed at your side. Zara’s owner experienced life changes that made rehoming Zara the best thing for her. With a 3 month old baby and working long hours, poor Zara spent long days in the crate, and her owner was not able to give this young German Shepherd the time or exercise she needed. We have only had Zara a short time, but are learning more about her every day. We have learned Zara is a very sweet girl that LOVES to play ball, is friendly with other friendly dogs, and enjoys going for rides in the car. Zara would love to join your active family where she can be part of your everyday life, get plenty of exercise and enrichment, and never again have to spend long hours crated.

Story
Guinness is a stunner. He gets compliments on his looks wherever he goes. When this solidly built long-haired dog responds to a recall, he comes running with power, grace, and fluidity. It’s a sight to be seen. Guinness usually loves meeting people and happily accepts pets from them. He enjoys walks around the neighborhood and on the trail. He is also very content to just hang out with his human. Guinness was originally rescued down south after being found tied to a tree, and through no fault of his own, has lived in several homes since then. But he didn’t let his rough start at life affect him and was an affectionate dog from the get go. Guinness found his way to a local family wanting to give him a better life. But, because of life changes, they weren’t able to give him the attention and exercise he needed. They loved him and wanted to make sure they gave him the best life possible so they contacted us. Guinness is sweet and calm around people, young and older. He has good manners and takes treats with due consideration of fingers. He is a love sponge who likes to flop down next to you to cuddle and may even doze off while you gently stroke his luxurious fur. Guinness can be reactive to dogs he doesn’t know, especially when one surprises him. He can cope in such situations if given a chance to see that the other dog is not coming to get him along with treats to teach him to stay focused on you as he moves past the other dog. Guinness did very well in “pack walks” intended to help dogs of any age become better socialized. He also lived with a 3 year old female German Shepherd and an 11 year old (but very spry) male smooth fox terrier and they all got along well. This affectionate dog is ready for his forever home. The ideal owner will commit to continuing his training and understanding what is needed for continued success. We have selected “no” to the question of “good with other dogs” in the stats section of his bio out of abundance of caution but will entertain applicants with other dogs given the information discussed above. If you are the person that understands the importance of training, understands the breed, and are ready to commit to Guinness, he will reward you with love, loyalty, and companionship.

Story
When a dog enters GSRNE, that dog becomes family to us for life. We celebrate their adoptions, but we are always here if he or she is in need again. In December 2021, then 7 year old Rikka was happily adopted by a two time previous GSRNE adopter. She lived happily and was loved fiercely by her new mom for a year and a half. This past June, just after Rikka’s 9th birthday, we were devastated to learn that her mom had passed away and Rikka was in need of a home again. We had an experienced foster home who was able to take Rikka right away. Her foster mom has helped Rikka adjust to the loss of her mom and home while helping her shed some weight she gained while living in the lap of luxury. Rikka loves being outdoors and taking walks, especially if there is water involved! She loves her kiddie pool as well as taking a splashy swim at the local river. She is incredibly smart, you can definitely see those shepherd wheels turning with her trademark head tilt. She is well trained and not destructive in the house. She did live with a cat many years ago successfully and may be able to do so again if care is taken with proper introductions. Rikka prefers to be an only dog. Rikka bonds tightly to her people. Because of this, she can be protective and will need an experienced adopter who understands how to handle shepherds with this personality. She does NOT show any reactivity towards her own family. She also does have some arthritis common with age and allergies that have been well managed with medications. Rikka has many fans within GSRNE who have seen the awesome girl she is. We are truly hoping to find the right person or family willing to open their hearts up to a senior dog with a few quirks that will bond to you forever and make you her best friend. GSRNE places dogs in the following New England states: Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. Please review adoption requirements prior to inquiring about Rikka https://gsrne.org/requirements-for-adopting-from-gsrne

Story
Leeland is a GEM in search of a home!   This blonde beauty is happy with a simple life. He doesn't need fancy toys or games, he just wants to play with some friends or to enjoy a nice prance in the backyard. At an estimated three years old and 59 lbs this boy is just happy to be alive after finding himself in a high kill shelter.   Like so many others, Leland was a stray presumed dumped at some point. When turned into the shelter if he wasn't claimed after so long, he would be put to sleep because of a lack of space in the shelter.   Volunteers shared what a great dog Leland was even in a LOUD & chaotic shelter environment. He greeted many visitors and volunteers with a wagging tail and was always looking to play with any dog he walked by. That's a good dog!   Leland Highlights:   3 years old  // 59 lbs Crate Trained Great with Dogs // Doggy Daycare Candidate Lab/Shepherd Mix Food Motivated- Easy to Train! Neutered, Vaccinated & Microchipped   If you are ready to adopt and serious about bringing home a SPECTACULAR dog, submit an application for Leland!

Please SHARE! #NetworkingSavesLives PS - Please keep in mind, our bio's are based on feedback we have received from the current foster home the dog is in. We can never guarantee how a transition will affect the dog. GBP is here to help make the transition as easy as possible but time + patience are also important when adopting a new PAL. Breed Mixes & Ages are a best guess and can not be guaranteed** Adoption Application ##1858005##
