Marcy

German Shepherd Dog

Female, Adult

Scotch Plains, NJ

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet Marcy, a 3 y/o female German Shepherd. Her ideal family will either have no other dogs or a male (neutered) large- breed submissive dog. She will need a strong handler and preferably no small children, as she can be jumpy sometimes. She is currently in a foster home and doing great! she's quiet in a crate, walks well on leash and is overall just a happy girl who loves getting affection and attention from her foster family. She is currently healing from a spay but is an energetic girl who loves playing with balls and fetch. She would do great with an active family who loves to go on adventures or play fetch with her! Her future family would take her to professional training, as Marcy would benefit greatly from it-- emotionally, physically, mentally. She is an AMAZING girl, a very confident and strong female GSD. She will not be placed in a home with a female dog, or overly dominant dogs in general. Although Marcy has been exposed to cats in her prior home, we don't know how she will do after the shelter stressors-- so if a home does have cats, there needs to be the ability to integrate slowly, and keep separate (either short term, or possibly even long term).

Story

My name is Rocco. I am a 15 month old Schnauzer/GSD mix and about 60 lbs. What a rollercoaster I have been on! Unfortunately, due to my owner’s significant health challenges, I had to look for a new family. But, I am SUPER lucky. I am in a great foster home where I am receiving attention, training, lots of love and gaining a lot of positive experiences! I am a handsome and striking boy that is not just extremely intelligence and eager to please, I am loyal and ready to take on a fun and full life with my new people. I am a free spirit who would benefit from exercise, structure and consistency. I haven't had a chance to experience many adventures in my young life but I am ready to run the distance with you and be your loyal sidekick. I have energy but don't get me wrong, I am extremely affectionate and will be happy to cuddle with you on the couch and hang out while you work. I am a velcro dog; I aim to please and you better believe that until I settle a bit, I will be your shadow. I don't want to do anything wrong (even if I make a mistake). I have been working on so many different skills with my fabulous foster and have had successful meet and greets with new people and dogs. Some basics - I am untested with cats and would mostly likely love to chase them! I have not been around young kids. Older kids are best due to my jovial nature (and potential herding). Other dogs - sure, with the right intros, I would probably love a sibling. The other dog should have some energy so they can potentially be my playmate. My humans? My new people need to be my leaders. I seek confidence from my humans so if my handler knows whats up, I will follow and be better for it. My potential is through the roof! I am housebroken and crate-trained. I am located in NJ! And…. Because of a very generous sponsor, my adoption fee has been reduced by half

Bosco

German Shepherd Dog

Male, Young

Cranford, NJ

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

ONLY AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION IN NEW JERSEY AND LOCAL SURROUNDING AREAS!!! If your application is a possible match, a volunteer will get back to you within 48 hrs. No inquiries, please, without an application. Bosco is only 18 months old and has already been through so much in his short life. Severely neglected to the point that Animal Control had to seize him. He came in so skinny and insecure. In the short time that he’s been in boarding, we have seen him really come out of his shell and he is even a little goofy. He definitely needs training and leash manners. He definitely needs an experienced Shepherd owner that will give him the life that he deserves. He’s a lot of fun in the yard and loves to play fetch. He gives wonderful kisses when he feels safe and when he loves you it’s deep. If you are interested in Bosco, please go to bfdaaa.com to complete an application. November 17, 2025, 8:36 pm
