German Shepherd Dog Belgian Malinois

Male, Adult
Fernley, NV
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Looking for a home for my goofy GSD/mal mix. 5yo, neutered, obsessed with his people. I recommend malinois/other working breed experience as previous homes had trouble with the malinois mentality and he really deserves his forever home. But for a malinois mix, hes way easier than a full mal or dutchie. I lived with him in a small apartment for a year at one point. I think his best fit would be an active owner or maybe someone who's had malinois in the past but doesnt want such a difficult dog anymore. He's an absolute sweetheart, good with other dogs, has had professional training and knows a ton of obedience and tricks. Doesn't counter surf or chew stuff up. Crate trained but can be left to roam the house unsupervised as well. Super food motivated, will be vocal about it. He's extremely goofy and will continuously make you laugh. Rehoming because hes too prey drivey for the work my dogs do and my other shepherd is aggressive towards him. Located near Reno NV.

Rusty is a stunning shepherd mix with soulful eyes and a quiet, thoughtful nature. He's the kind of dog who forms deep, meaningful bonds &#194&#151 but he needs a confident, calm person who understands that trust is earned, not rushed. Rusty can be a little leery of new people at first. The world feels safest when he has time to observe and figure things out at his own pace. With patience, consistency, and gentle encouragement, you'll see his walls slowly come down &#194&#151 and that's when the magic happens. Once Rusty warms up, he absolutely loves attention from his people. Soft pets and gentle affection mean everything to him. The connection you build with Rusty won't be surface-level &#194&#151 it will be the kind rooted in trust and loyalty. He's dog friendly and enjoys the company of other pups, which can help him continue building confidence. He's also discovering the joy of toys and learning how to play &#194&#151 watching him figure it out and let loose is incredibly rewarding. Rusty is looking for a steady heart and a peaceful home where he can continue to grow into the amazing dog he's meant to be. If you're willing to give him the time he needs, he'll give you a bond like no other. If you are interested in rusty, please fill out an application at www.tahoewarf.orgMarch 7, 2026, 6:25 pm

Declan

German Shepherd Dog

Male, Adult
Stagecoach, NV
Size
(when grown) X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Here is Declan! He has been in our care for over three years, being pulled from a kill shelter on his last day by a WARF volunteer. On arrival at our sanctuary, we discovered that Declan's left eye was completely ruptured and had to be removed due to either bullet or blunt force trauma. We also discovered that he was likely a former guard dog that had been badly trained, resulting in misplaced aggression towards people and animals. Declan started out with only one friend in the world and was aggressive towards everyone, but he is now confident enough to be able to be introduced to new people by his trusted handlers in a slow, controlled environment. In the three years that Declan has been with WARF, he has made slow but steady progress, and we now feel that he is ready to find his special person. He would be an ideal dog for a single woman, as his protective nature really comes through once he has bonded with someone. He would prefer an indoor-outdoor environment, as he likes to roam the perimeter, making sure everything is safe, but needs to be securely contained as he is a big, strong boy and can't be in an environment where he could encounter a person or animal he does not know. Declan has learned to walk nicely alongside other dogs but does not want to share his life, or his people, with other animals. If you are interested in learning more about this incredibly resilient dog, please call/text 775-338-6631. An adoption process for Declan would require a calm but confident person who is willing to commit to multiple get-acquainted visits and a home check, as we want to be sure that he never has to go through abandonment and trauma again.March 7, 2026, 6:25 pm

Story
*** COURTESY LISTING *** PLEASE CALL OR E-MAIL THE PERSON LISTED. DO NOT CONTACT WARF AS WE HAVE NO FURTHER INFO. Meet Griff, an approximately 5y.o. neutered German Shepherd-Pit mix up to date on vaccines who is looking for a home. Unfortunately we have seen a lot of unexpected changes in our lives recently surrounding work and a serious injury with surgeries looming, and it's become difficult to give him his best life. He's happy and healthy, gets exercise and walks and visits with friends, cuddles on the sofa, and his needs are met- but we just can't give him the 100% we were able to before our lives changed. Griff had been abandoned overnight at a construction site in 2021 where the owner was working. Someone left him tied up in freezing temperatures with a bark collar on, unneutered and unchipped at the time. Police and Animal Control never found the culprits. He is a sweet, energetic, loyal, alert, and very intelligent dog who loves his human and canine friends. He loves to go on hikes, backpacking, trail runs, follow you on a bike, chase a ball, perform his many tricks, and is eager to learn and train. He's great at home and snoozes on the couch when we're gone, and is crate trained and great on leash. That said, he's a complicated dog. Not long after we took him in we started to see significant behavioral quirks. Whatever past trauma or lack of socialization he had likely led to his reactivity with new people and new dogs. Griff had a lot of success working with a great dog trainer and has gained confidence and a sense of safety out in the world since then. Nonetheless he struggles to meet new dogs and new people in the way that most dogs do. With a structured routine he is able to safely meet others and welcome them into his life and be friends, and he's loved living with other dogs we've fostered. What he can't safely do is suddenly meet other dogs while he or they are off leash, and strangers can't come right up to him and pet him; he needs to feel safe and calm before engaging. There have never been any serious altercations but we are diligent to avoid any situation that could lead to trouble. We are hoping to find someone looking for a new canine companion who can provide a structured, engaging life for this handsome dog. With these things in mind, this new family should be reactive-dog savvy and live an active lifestyle. We don't think he's a great fit for a home with children or cats. If you happen to know of anyone who might be a good fit for Griff please reach out- he is in Tahoe and are owners are willing to travel with him for the right situation.
