Story
Sasha is being fostered in PA. Sasha needs to be an only dog. She does not like active dogs Sasha can ONLY be adopted to a home with older children or all adults. Sasha is NOT good with cats. Sasha is spayed. Christmas time is here, soon a new year will dawn, and I’m still patiently waiting for my furever home and that special family to give me lots of love and belly rubs. I enjoy walks and will do OK without a fenced yard if you take me out on walking adventures. If you have a fenced yard I will run and play with you. I just enjoy the company of peeps. I don’t care to be with other dogs, just be by myself with my humans. I am a good girl in the house…unless you leave tasty morsels of food on the counter. Then I may just have to help myself! I know Sit, Down, am learning Wait, but I don’t really want to wait, hee hee. I also do pretty well on a leash. I’m still working on some other things like no jumping up on my peeps. I just want to greet and say Hi and give kisses and hugs to my peeps. BDRA has voted against the use of electrical fencing effective immediately.

Story
Wendy is the perfect blend of happy, easygoing, and absolutely beautiful — inside and out. This resilient girl has been through more than most, but she’s come out the other side with a wagging tail and a heart full of love. She was rescued from a high-kill shelter, and when she went in to be spayed, the veterinary team made a heartbreaking discovery — mummified puppies inside of her. Despite everything, Wendy never stopped smiling. Her strength, spirit, and gentle nature are truly inspiring. She’s a true warrior, ready to leave her past behind and find the loving home she deserves. Wendy is house trained and crate trained, though she’d much rather hang out on the couch than be in a crate (and honestly, she’s so well-behaved she doesn’t need it!). She’s a great walking buddy and an even better cuddle companion — the kind of dog who’s always happy to be near her people, no matter what you’re doing. If you're looking for a dog who will bring peace, love, and quiet strength into your life, Wendy is ready to be your forever girl. 💕

Story
Stark is a survivor — literally. He was rescued from a shelter in Houston, where he was just hours away from being euthanized simply because they ran out of space. 💔 But his story didn’t end there… now he’s ready for his new beginning — with you! The name’s Stark — and if you ask me, I’m pretty much perfect. My foster mom says I still act like a puppy sometimes, and honestly? She’s not wrong. I like to call it being a "perfect puppy!" 😄 I’m a fun-loving guy who’s always up for an adventure. I love playing with other dogs, meeting new people (strangers don’t exist in my world!), and going for walks. Got a yard? Even better — I’ll zoom around with joy! I’ve also learned that this cozy little den thing called a crate is actually pretty great. I hang out in there when I need some chill time — and it helps keep me out of “trouble,” though I still don’t totally know what that word means… 🤔 House training? Got it. As long as you give me the chance to go outside, I’ll do my business like a champ. If you're looking for a pup who’s full of joy, energy, and endless tail wags, I might just be your guy. My foster mom says I’m SO MUCH FUN 🤩 and honestly... I agree! I’ve been loved in my foster home, but now it’s time to find my forever. Can I be yours? ❤️

Story
Meet Delta 💛 Rescued from a shelter in Alabama, Delta is ready to embrace the New York lifestyle — cuddles, adventures, and all! This smart, affectionate girl is crate trained, house trained, and full of love to give. Delta is an absolute sweetheart who adores people of all ages — she’s fantastic with kids and loves other dogs. She’s even done well meeting cats! 🐾 When she’s not snuggling on the couch or sleeping quietly at the end of the bed, Delta enjoys running, playing fetch, and going for rides (she’s a total pro in the car 🚗). She’s happiest when she has space to stretch her legs, so an active home or a yard to romp in would be ideal. This girl is polite, gentle, and incredibly loyal — she asks to go outside when she needs to potty, sleeps through the night, and isn’t food aggressive. Delta also knows her basics like sit and is very food-motivated, making training fun and easy. Oh, and that playful little voice she uses when she’s excited? It’s guaranteed to melt your heart. 💕 Delta is truly the best of both worlds — a cuddly couch companion and a happy, active friend. Could you be the one to give her the forever family she deserves?

Meet Missy 💕 Missy is a happy, playful girl with a heart full of love! She’s eager to please and already knows sit and stay — she’ll even wait patiently in her kennel until you say “okay” to eat. She can get a little wiggly with excitement during training, but she’s very smart and eager to learn. Missy loves having doggy friends to play with and would do great in a home with one or two canine companions. She’s also good with cats and kids — she truly just wants to love and be friends with everyone she meets. This sweet girl wasn’t treated very well in her past and ended up in a high-kill shelter, but thankfully Big Buddy GSD Rescue stepped in to give her the chance she deserves. Despite everything, Missy remains the same joyful, affectionate, and fun-loving pup — her resilience is inspiring. She gets super excited when you give her attention and is learning to accept pets calmly — and doing amazing! 💗 Missy is ready to be your new best friend, adventure buddy, and forever snuggle partner.
