Story
We’re trying to rehome our dog Trudy. My wife is pregnant and we don’t live in a large enough space to provide enough room for Trudy to have her safe space. She’s a ~6 year old German shepherd lab mix who is really easy to take care of. She’s not good with other dogs and cats and while she hasn’t been around kids much I think she would do best in a home with older kids (~8+) since she can get overstimulated and is big. She loves adults and the older kids who are in our apartment complex. She’s healthy and has all her shots and doesn’t require too much exercise. We mostly just take her out to sniff for about an hour a day and go on the occasional hike or adventure. She’s more than happy to walk and hike more though if you’re looking for a dog to take on long walks and hikes. She’s well trained and doesn’t have any issues with being left alone for the day while we’re at work. If we had a bigger space we would keep her and are really sad to be rehoming her.

Story
Meet Coco!Looking for a young, fun, ridiculously adorable pup to complete your family? Say hello to Coco! This 2-year-old, 40-ish-pound bundle of joy is ready to zoom her way right into your heart.Coco was adopted last year by an older couple, but they ultimately found that they couldn’t keep up with her energy. So, she’s back in our care and looking for a family who’s ready to match her zest for life—and give her the forever home she deserves.And this girl is FUN. Coco is playful, affectionate, and still very much has that puppy personality. Whether she’s chasing her favorite toy, showing off her silly side, or breaking into one of her signature zoomies, she’s guaranteed to keep you smiling.Coco would thrive in an active, dog-friendly home with at least one other playful pup to keep her company. She’s also done well with the dog-savvy cats in her foster home. Older, dog-savvy kids would be a good match for her, too. A fenced-in yard would be a big bonus for this zoomie enthusiast!Coco is currently in a local foster home, where she’s doing great with her puppy basics, including house training, crate time, and leash walking. She’s looking for a family who will keep her busy, continue her training, and help her grow into the confident, well-mannered girl she’s destined to be.If your idea of the perfect dog involves a little more play, a lot more fun, and plenty of zoomies, Coco might just be your girl!Her foster says, `Coco is very friendly and energetic. She loves other dogs and loves to run and play. She has a ball that releases treats and she figured it out immediately. She is a puppy and likes to do puppy things like chew and jump but is very easily redirected. She is crate trained and will let you know when she needs out of the crate to go potty. She has a few accidents inside when out of crate but we are working on it. She likes car rides but will try to climb in your lap when driving to get a better view! She likes to explore her surroundings and will circle the house a lot when out of crate but does settle down after she checks everything out. She is very sweet and loves to give kisses. I think she is going to make a great dog for whomever is lucky enough to adopt her!`She is available for adoption in Springfield, MA by appointment.

Story
Meet Shadow! Shadow is approximately 9 months old, ~35 lb currently, and she is a mixed breed pup! She was left behind with her mama and siblings when her former family moved. In her foster home, she is house trained, doesn`t need to be crated when left alone, and doing well on leashed walks. She could join households with teens, other playful pups, and dog-savvy cats. Her foster says, `She was quite shy in the beginning, but after about a week she started warming up, and now she fully lets us know what she wants and shamelessly asks for cuddles. She’s fully potty trained, doesn`t chew furniture or get into trouble, and her heel walk is perfect. She also handles free-roam home alone time without a crate just fine. She gets along great with Yaco and shows no resource guarding.While having another dog-friendly pup around would be ideal, she could do fine as an only dog too. Because she loves the outdoors so much, a peaceful, scenic area with a grassy yard to lie on would suit her far better than a bustling city.`She is available for adoption in Shrewsbury, MA or Hopkinton, MA by appointment.

Story
Meet Sarge (male, 10) & Luna (female, 6) — a bonded pair of German Shepherds looking for their forever home together. These unrelated best friends are loving, loyal, intelligent dogs who have been cherished family pets. They are wonderful with children, adults, and other dogs. Both are house trained, on/off leash trained, know basic commands, have excellent recall, are regularly groomed, up to date on vaccines, and in excellent health. They love to run, play fetch, hike, camp, go to the beach, and join their family on adventures. They are active dogs who thrive with regular exercise and space to play. Rehoming them is an incredibly difficult decision due to a job relocation that will no longer allow us to provide the yard, exercise, and lifestyle they deserve. We are looking for a loving home with a fenced yard and a family committed to keeping them active, happy, and together.

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 Kiba Kiba’s journey began overseas when she was a puppy in Rwanda, where her owner first welcomed her into the family before bringing her to the United States. Over the years, Kiba has been a loyal companion, but life circumstances have changed. After planning to relocate to the South and raising two young children, her owner found that she no longer had the time to provide Kiba with the attention and companionship she deserves. Wanting what is best for her beloved dog, she reached out to GSRNE to help find Kiba the loving home she needs. At 9 years old, Kiba is the perfect blend of adventure partner and devoted companion. Calm and well-mannered in the home, she is happiest simply being near her people, whether you’re relaxing in the living room or spending time outdoors. She loves affection, enjoys being part of the family, and has a quiet, gentle presence that makes her an easy housemate. Fully crate-trained and respectful of household routines, Kiba has all the wonderful qualities that come with maturity. When it’s time to head outside, Kiba is always ready for an adventure. She walks beautifully on leash, responds well to commands, and loves exploring with her people. Her favorite outings involve water—whether it’s a trip to the beach, a stroll along a river, or splashing around on a warm day. She also enjoys car rides and is always eager to be your co-pilot. Highly intelligent and eager to please, Kiba is easy to train and enjoys learning new things. She does have a natural prey drive and enjoys keeping an eye on squirrels, rabbits, and other small critters, but she is responsive to her handler and redirects well. On walks, she is generally content to ignore other dogs as long as they do the same. Kiba is looking for a family that will appreciate the loyalty, companionship, and steady temperament that only a mature dog can offer. She still has plenty of life, love, and adventures ahead of her and is hoping to find a forever home where she can once again be a cherished member of the family. If you’re looking for a devoted best friend with a kind heart and wonderful manners, Kiba may be the perfect match.
