Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.German Shepherd dogs, as well as the other herding breeds that we have in rescue, are highly active, energetic, working breeds. They require considerable vetting, exercise, socialization, training, leadership and mental stimuli in order to be well-adjusted, well-balanced, and well-mannered dogs. Even if you exercise and play with your dog daily in your fenced yard, you MUST still take your dog out on daily walks and outings in order to work on his/her leash skills, manners, and social skills. These breeds make great additions to active families who will pamper them, but who will also work with them, as they are smart dogs who need leadership, structure, plenty of activity and mental stimulation. If you are new to German Shepherds (and other herding breeds), please research the breed to make sure this is the dog for you. We ask that you consider the time and financial commitment that your German Shepherd (or other herding breed) dog will require before applying for one. Please review the section on our website (www.heartlandgsrescue.org) 'Is a HUGS Dog Right for You?' for additional information.Tobias is a young, incredibly sweet German Shepherd that we rescued from the California forest fire area earlier this year. Tobias is fun, affectionate, and good with people and dogs of all sizes. He is well-behaved in public and a true joy to all of us who interact with him. He is simply lovely! Tobias has epilepsy and takes medication for it (Keppra twice a day). This amazingly sweet boy will need someone who is willing to take the time to make him feel safe and loved. He is affectionate boy and likes to lean and rub against you. He also loves to lay on you while you comb his fur. Tobias loves food and to be spoiled! He really enjoys to have a little bit of cheese on his meals, as well as eggs a few times a week! And he absolutely loves to have another dog (or dogs) to play with. If you are looking for a wonderful companion to bond and spend quality time with, look no further!Tobias' adoption fee is $400, all of which goes back into offseting our high-cost vetting expenses and rescuing more dogs.  We are a 100% volunteer-run rescue group and rely on adoption fees and donations to continue saving lives. Adoption fees include spay/neuter, current on age- appropriate vaccinations, fecal, deworming, flea/tick and heartworm preventative, heartworm tested if old enough (and treated if positive), and microchipped. Please visit http://heartlandgsrescue.rescuegroups.org/info/adoption for more information about our adoption process and requirements, and to apply. Like all GSDs, and other herding breeds that we have in rescue, Tobias will need training, consistency, boundaries, and lots of activity and socialization, in order to be a well-balanced, well-behaved dog. This sweet boy would make a great addition to an active home that will provide the love, structure, good leadership, activity and mental stimulation that he needs. Because of that, Tux's ideal owner will have prior GSD, or other similar breed experience. Even if you exercise and play with your dog daily in your fenced yard, please remember that you MUST still take your dog out on daily walks and outings, in order to provide sufficient stimulation, ward off boredom, and work on leash skills and manners.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Please review the information in the 'About Us', 'Important Considerations' and 'Adopt' sections on our website menu, as it contains useful information about the breed, adoption fees, the adoption process and our requirements, and how meeting the dogs works.August 12, 2025, 2:49 pm

Unfortunately, their situation changed, and they could no longer provide for his needs. Additionally, they tell us that Otis, who is an active, sociable boy, has been especially lonely since his dog buddy passed away last winter.Otis is now in rescue with HUGS and we can already tell that he is a very sweet, special boy Otis is very patient and tolerant with other dogs, including the young puppy in his foster home. His previous owner mentioned that he always was good with kids and never bothered. Otis would love to have a dog buddy in his forever home. Otis thinks ball is life!! He loves to play with his ball more than anything. He also loves to get attention, and he will drop and go belly up for belly rubs. He could not be sweeter. Otis is a handsome boy with a wonderful temperament. He is a huge catch! We would love to find Otis a loving, active home, that will give him the attention he deserves, on time for Christmas!

Story
N Nora is an absolutely gorgeous German Shepherd who is quickly approaching her first birthday!  She is smart as can be, goofy and friendly. Nora is mostly potty trained (with supervision), kennel trained, walks well on a leash and knows a handful of tricks.  Nora’s ideal home will have a 6 foot fence (she can jump shorter fences) and no cats or apartments. You definitely need a sense of humor to have Nora in your life. She loves to “talk” when she’s playing, play tug of war and bring random things to her kennel to save for later. She enjoys supervising her foster mom cooking by always laying in sight around dinner time. Nora hasn’t been phased by fireworks or storms but Halloween decor is definitely suspicious to her on walks. She has many nicknames like Nora-nucci, Ga-nora, Nora-virus, Nori and she responds to them all! Nora is just about everything you could want in a young German Shepherd and would be a great addition to a loving home.   She was born Feb 17th, 2025 To help pay for vet bills and care (transportation, food, toys, etc..) a $250 donation is requested at the time of adoption. All of our adoptions are contingent upon an approved application, home visit, reference check, obedience training agreement, and signing of adoption contract. All our dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped before adoption. Our dogs are companion animals that live indoors as part of your family. Please do not apply if your plan is to have them as outside dogs, garage dogs, porch dogs or outside kennel dogs.  We do not ship dogs.   All of our dogs are in private foster homes. We are not a shelter with hours. A visit can be arranged after an adoption questionnaire has been filled out and sent in. Please try to email first. We are all volunteers that work so we can not easily take or make phone calls.December 29, 2025, 1:42 pm

Story
Marla (born in April 2018) is an exquisite German Shepherd in search of a dedicated and patient owner. She dreams of finding a loving home that can offer her the stability she needs to conquer her fears and embark on a journey towards a brighter future! While Marla envisions a life as the center of attention in a new household, there is a possibility for her to adjust to living with other dogs given a proper introduction. She may feel anxious around dogs in general and would benefit from multiple visits with her potential adopter. To ensure Marla's peace of mind, it is recommended that she be placed in a child-free environment as young children and highly energetic dogs tend to overwhelm her. Additionally, a secure 6-foot fence is essential as she has the ability to effortlessly leap over a 4-foot fence. With a well-structured routine, positive reinforcement, and the guidance of a professional trainer, we firmly believe that Marla will flourish into a remarkable companion. If you feel that Marla could be the perfect fit for your family, please take the first step by completing an application to meet this endearing sweetheart! Adoptions for Marla are limited to the area within 50 miles of the Omaha/Council Bluffs area so the pet can continue to take advantage of free training from our certified positive reinforcement trainer. The suggested adoption donation for Marla is $250.  We are a 501c3 organization which means that your donation may be TAX DEDUCTIBLE. Your donation goes toward the high cost of veterinary care for our animals in rescue, as well as providing supportive services to animals in homes. Information about the adoption process: All adoptions require a completed ADOPTION APPLICATION. Once your application is approved, we will put you in touch with the dog’s foster to see if you and the pet are a good match. If so, we will arrange a meeting for you and the pet. The adoptions for all of our animals will take place in the Omaha, NE area and must be done by the adoptive family in person. We do not ship or deliver. Please Note: We are a RESCUE, which is different from a shelter. We conduct veterinary and personal reference checks during the application approval process. We always select the right applicant for each dog, based on the dog’s needs. If you and the dog are not a good match, we will help you select another dog, or we will keep your approved application on file for 6 months.
