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

Story
Before calling about this dog, please read our adoption requirements at http://gsrne.org/requirements-for-adopting-from-gsrne Experienced GSD Owners — Meet Buddy! 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.

Story
Introducing.... drum roll please....dadadada... BACON!! This energetic, fun-loving boy will always keep you moving. Bacon is a German Shepard mix that we rescued a couple of years ago as he was at a high kill shelter and we know how that goes for so many loving pets. With intentions to rehome him sooner after saving him, he has just been so much fun and a wonderful friend to our other rescues, but now with a growing family we just don't have the time to give to Bacon with all his boundless energy and hoping to find that loving home that can give this boy a run for his money....literally run run! Bacon always loves to play ball and fetch with any kind of ball you can find, especially a nice football or soccer ball, that he will likely POP!. Bacon just looooves to chase little animals, including little dogs, so he is suited for only medium to larger dogs if you have other dogs at home. And of course he is such a snuggle bug on the couch, and he will happily take over your entire bed!!

Story
MEET LADY BUG! Currently in foster - will be back for meets on Saturday 1/3 in Boston!Lady bug may look like your typical shepherd, but with short little legs she only stands about half as tall as your average german shepherd dog. What she lacks in height, she makes up for her in her larger than life personality. This sweet and silly girl is potty trained and has lived in a traditional home where her family loved her very much. Unfortunatley, due to allergies they had to make the difficult decision to surrender her to a shelter. This isn`t Lady Bug`s first time being adoptable in a shelter either, she was originally adopted after being found as a stray in Texas! This girl has been through so much change in her short life, so she is looking for stability and a low-traffic home without other pets where she can be pampered like she deserves! My friends describe me as: Expressive, Affectionate, CuriousLady Bug is currently up to date on all vaccinations, has been spayed/neutered, microchipped and seen by our vet team.For more information on Lady Bug or any other animal currently residing at the Animal Rescue League of Boston, please call us at 617-426-9170. We welcome adopters from NH, RI, CT, and NY. However, we will be unable to facilitate same day adoptions due to state regulated paperwork requirements.

Story
Aspen is an extremely sweet 2 years old dog. She loves her people, and gets super excited when you come home. She does like to jump up to greet you, which can result in the occasional chin-butt. She is very energetic and loves to run, play, and dig when she finds spots of interest. She loves going outdoors and for walks, but can get a bit nervous when meeting new people and animals. When introduced properly, she can get along with other dogs, but due to her resource guarding and that she can be territorial, she should be an only dog. She has a high prey drive and does not get along with cats. She is potty trained, crate trained, and knows all of her basic commands. She hasn't been around a lot of kids, the smallest being 9 years old who she has known since she was a puppy. Her mother was a German Shepherd. Meet and greet and reference(s) required.
