Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. GRACIE ~1 1/2 years old.  Good with dogs. Good with older considerate kids. Cats TBD. Needs a companion animal. GSRA adopts to residents of VA, NC, and SC only Do you remember the song ‘Girls Just Want To Have Fun’?  The name of the song fits this sweet little pumpkin pie, Gracie.  She is a smaller size pup, weighing about 50 lbs but she can hang with the best of them.  This sweet girl loves playing with her fur sisters and brothers.  Just check out her videos. If a pup wants to play, Gracie is ready to go but she can also chill with the best of them. She also loves to play with toys. She is house and crate trained and rides well in the car.   Gracie is a little love bug. She loves to be close to you and will cuddle in your lap, if you let her, or snuggle on the couch. She has so much love to give and has been waiting patiently for a wonderful family to see how special she is.     Gracie was picked up as a stray when she was about 6 months old.  When she first came to the rescue, she was shy and uncomfortable around people and new places. I hate to think of what must have happened to her during that time to make her that way. But that's in the past and with the help and guidance of her amazing foster mom and a wonderful trainer to show her that people and new places weren’t that scary, she is a different girl. Gracie would love a family who would be willing to be a little patient in the beginning.  Just to give her a chance to know that she is in a safe place filled with love.  The love you will get back will be neverending.  She will need a playful companion and a fenced yard so they can run and have fun. Do you think this sweet girl might be the one you have been searching for?  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.For more information on our adoptable pet list please visit: Adoptable Pet List Please join us at our next Event(s): Current Scheduled Events:         September 22, 2023, 8:27 am

A cuddly teddy bear of a 55 lb dog who had been on his own for more than two months when rescued   Forrest is a German Shepherd/Husky mix. The vet estimates that he’s about eight years old but he acts like a puppy! Forrest gets along well with small dogs and cats, and all people gentle with him  He is very gentle and super smart.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. PRINCE ~6-8 years old. Good with some dogs. Kids and cats TBD. GSRA adopts to residents of VA, NC, and SC only.                       Prince is a very special boy, who lived in a shelter for a whole year before coming into GSRA. The shelter took care of this sweet boy and kept him safe, they saw something in him that was worthwhile to protect. I cannot thank them enough for doing this! Prince first came to us almost completely shut down, but we have given him time to decompress on his terms. This is key to this special boy. If he is rushed too quickly to acclimate to your environment, it will scare him. Now that Prince has been in foster care for over a year, he is a completely different dog. He loves his foster family, is a very happy and content boy, lives for his walks where he scouts bunnies and squirrels, and has a playful side that will make you feel warm inside. There is just something magical about him. You just have to give him time to relax enough to show it to you. Prince will thrive in a home as the only dog or in a home with another dog that will respect his space. It is best that there are no children since it just adds to his uncertainty. We are working with him on some obedience, so slow and steady will win the race. Prince is house trained and knows how to use a dog door and has not had one accident in our home. He doesn't need to be crated since he respects your belongings.  He loves to smell EVERYTHING! Prince is a laid back dude who just likes to hang out with his family, and would love to accompany you on nice walks. He is very anxious in the car, so someone who doesn't expect him to travel much is necessary. We will work on de-sensitizing him by building on good experiences to see if we can get him more comfortable. While Prince is a "work in progress,” he won’t disappoint you if given the time. Could your home be the one to give this special boy a chance? Prince is up to date on all of his vaccines and is heart worm negative.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.For more information on our adoptable pet list please visit: Adoptable Pet List Please join us at our next Event(s): Current Scheduled Events:         September 22, 2023, 8:27 am

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. FLETCHER ~1 year old. Good with older, considerate kids and dogs. Cats TBD. GSRA adopts to residents of VA, NC, and SC only.        Meet Fletcher! This handsome boy is cool, calm and collected! Fletcher was an owner-surrender through no fault of his own, as his family could no longer take care of him. This sweet boy has a beautiful, soft coat, striking black muzzle/face and no tail. Fletcher’s foster mom shared that he has gone through a wonderful transformation since he joined GSRA and is really a “great dog”! Fletcher has done a nice job at our GSRA meet and greets and is comfortable allowing a greeting, a pet and will even gently accept treats! Fletcher is not a super effusive pup, he has more of a mellow/calm demeanor and stable personality, with a little healthy independence sprinkled in! Fletcher is house-trained, and does a super job in his crate. In fact, when his foster mom is tending to her other fosters, he demonstrates a ton of patience by waiting quietly in his crate until it is his turn to be let out. Fletcher enjoys playing with other dogs, but is also satisfied being on his own. He is good with puppies all the way to senior dogs! He would be good in a household with another well adjusted dog or he would also be fine as the only dog. No longer the squirrel chaser of his youth, Fletcher has matured and is very content entertaining himself by just sitting in the backyard and watching the squirrels play in the trees. He also enjoys taking a romp through the pond when the weather is hot and prefers to be out of the heat when temperatures are exceedingly high. Since Fletcher enjoys spending time outside, he will need a fenced yard. Fletcher being the all around good guy, enjoys a good car ride and does very well on trips and adventures! When he is not watching squirrels or playing with his fur pals, he also likes to play with toys! Fletcher has very high food drive which lends well to training - he knows his basic commands and has demonstrated strong potential toward excelling in more advanced training. Fletcher also does well on leash and LOVES to go for walks with his humans. Fletcher can be very sweet and likes relaxing on the couch with his humans. He is also not adverse to plopping his head on your lap for a little snuggle! Fletcher is waiting patiently for his forever family, could that be you?

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. KODIAK ~5 years old. Good with dogs and cats. Not good with kids under 16. Requires fenced yard. Residents of NC and SC Click to apply for Kodiak Please Note: This link will take you to Blue Moon Shepherd Rescue.         Meet Kodiak, a purebred sable male German shepherd. He is a gentle giant who loves to go for walks, car rides, explore and just sniff.   He is eager to please and although a big boy at 90 pounds, he has an extremely gentle temperament. Kodiak came to us badly abused. He has come a long way in his foster home and is ready to start his next journey.  His ideal home would be adult only (no children) where he can get all the love and attention he craves.  He is a ‘soft dog’ and does not like loud voices or to be spoken to harshly. He listens attentively and takes direction very well.   Kodiak loves routine and very much enjoys his walks. He has a medium energy level and is content to be a couch potato lying around watching TV. His foster home has several German shepherds and does well with all of them. He is not aggressive or confrontational. He would most likely do best with a female companion and not with a multiple dog home.  His BFF is a small Belgian Malinois mix and they love to play chase. Rory runs and Kodiak tries to herd her. He is a bit socially awkward and doesn't understand dog play, he thinks herding is playing. Some dogs would not find this amusing so he needs a mild tempered dog companion. There is also a resident training kitty in the foster home and he does well, however, on occasion when he doesn’t get enough exercise, he will play a stalking game trying to find her.  When he does this, he just sits and watches. If the cat runs, he will chase but will correct easily and stop when given the command.  He would not do well in home with several cats.   Kodiak needs a quiet home with calm, firm handlers. He would not do well in an active house and gets nervous with loud noises and voices.  An owner experienced with German Shepherds is a must. He also has a high prey drive for deer and squirrels so a secure 6 ft wooden fence is a requirement with no exceptions. On walks, a deer or squirrel will send him into high alert. For this reason, Kodiak cannot be off leash, or he will chase deer and be in the wind.  If you are looking for a dog for long hikes off leash, Kodiak is not the dog for you (a professional trainer has confirmed this).   Kodiak is a sweet, beautiful, gentle boy whose dream is a loving, quiet home that will give him the love and kindness he so deserves. He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, and on heartworm preventative. He is obedience, crate and potty trained. He walks well on leash, great in the car and is highly food motivated. If you have any questions or are interested in this very special boy, you can contact Donna at BMSR1313@gmail.com or fill out an online application at https://form.jotform.com/83115668015152 Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.For more information on our adoptable pet list please visit: Adoptable Pet List Please join us at our next Event(s): Current Scheduled Events:         September 22, 2023, 8:27 am

Story
`Incredibly sweet!` is a staff member`s notation on this boy`s record, and it`s the same comment our volunteer who took these pictures shared with us. That`s Cooper! He is 4 years old and was surrendered due to no fault of his own--the child in the family is allergic. Cooper is shy but friendly, housetrained, good with children, and does fine with other animals. In case you`re wondering about his pink nose, he got a little sunburn, but it`s healing nicely. Dog Day Out, 5/27/23:Cooper`s tail was a bit tucked as he exited the shelter. I thought he was going to be a bit shy, but he seemed to cheer up as we drove to my house. Once we hit my back yard and the leash came off, the tail came up! Cooper did great on the leash. He enjoys playing fetch, but not with any of the toys in our dog day out goodie bag....Cooper is a stick fetcher! He is also great at chilling. We played fetch quite a bit, and then settled on the lounge chair together--but he was a bit of a lounge chair hog! We had a really good adventure and I could tell as we arrived back at the shelter, he became timid again. Don`t let this fool you if you visit him. I think the shelter is a bit much for him, but he is a very good dog!

Tina is about 10-11 months old and 50 ish pounds, such a sweet outgoing girl that needs an amazing home. She’s been neglected and kept in a cage 24 hours a day with just getting let out to eat and go to the bathroom once sometimes twice a day. She needs a good amount of training since she is still a puppy and never learned right from wrong. She’s very athletic and energetic and would love someone that could keep up with her! She’s an amazing dog just needs a little extra time to learn. If I didn’t already have my hands full with two dogs of my own I would’ve kept her. Please reach out if you’re interested!
