Story
Pepe was rescued from a situation where he was crated with an unknown number of other Shepards. He is a sweet boy but can also be quite vocal. He is very loyal, and very protective. He gets along best with women, but takes a little time to get used to men. He loves his belly rubbed, and also to lay across the entire hallway when sleeping. He’s not much of a cuddler but is also quite clingy when he wants to be. He’s is approximately 6 years old, and has not had any major medical concerns as of date.

Story
This handsome boy is a 4 year old German Shepherd with a big heart. He is very obedient, loyal, and protective. Loves being outside, going on walks, playing ball, and running free in a fenced yard. He’s a big baby who loves to cuddle. He does best in a home with teens or older children. He has never been aggressive but has shown discomfort when approached by younger kids, so we feel a child-free or older-child home is best. He is trained on an electric collar and responds well to commands. This is a heartbreaking decision, but we want what’s safest and best for both him and our family. Looking for a responsible, loving home where he can thrive.

Story
Please contact No Pawz (nopawzleftbehind@gmail.com) for more information about this pet.  This is a courtesy post for No Pawz Left Behind. Please use email listed to request an application to adopt this well deserving senior dog. If you are looking to add a new dog to your family, and would be open to a friendly older guy that loves playing with other calm dogs, Jake may be your guy!! Jake is 7 years old, and found himself homeless after his loving owner passed away, and this left Jake and a female pitbull alone in the home for a week to fend for themselves. Jake has adjusted well in foster care but he originally did have anxiety when left alone. He will need a family that will be patient with him for a bit while he learns the routine of a new home. He still loves being very close to his foster mom or dad. He does fabulous with other calm dogs, is playful, and wrestles with his friend dog. Jake listens well, and is the typical intelligent GSD. We would like Jake to go to a home with a fenced yard but owner will need to walk him on a leash in that fence until he feels bonded. Jake has met children and was friendly to them. His adoption fee is $150, and includes neuter, up to date vaccinations, dewormer, microchip, and endless love and appreciation from Jake. Please email for an application at nopawzleftbehind@gmail.com August 31, 2025, 3:22 am

Story
Please contact Sheri (sswank1@gmail.com) for more information about this pet.  Buck is a 2 year old DNA tested pooch, and guess what!?! He is exactly 50% GSD and 50% Great Pyrenees. This is what Ashland Shelter (where we got him) was told originally by previous owner, and the test confirmed it. What a fun combo for a dog! He gets super excited when he sees me getting my tennis shoes on, or my ball cap because he knows it means we're going hiking. He's 100 pounds of lean handsomeness. LOL. He does well as a couch potato and is calm in the house on a normal quiet day. He is house trained, crate trained and does well with other non dominant dogs. He is the best with smaller dogs honestly. He loves toys and playing fetch with any ball, and if you don't have time to play, Buck plays by himself. I'm looking for a home without young children because Buck does have herding/guarding tendencies. Buck is looking for someone who loves the big boys, and can handle them. Bucks adoption fee is $200, and includes all up to date vaccines, neuter, microchip, flea and heartworm preventative, and endless love and appreciation from BUCK! Please fill out our non-obligatory application at pawsandprayers.org if you would like to adopt him!! This pet qualifies for the Pets for Patriots program  https://www.petsforpatriots.org/veterans/  October 10, 2025, 10:55 am

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.contact caregiver-Francine (text) 310-597-8702Luke is a gentle and loving German Shepherd with a more relaxed personality. At three years old, he enjoys companionship and is happiest when spending time with his people. While he still has a playful side, he tends to be calmer and loves belly rubs, lounging by your side, and being part of the family. Luke has undergone basic obedience training and knows commands such as sit, stay, and come. He is house-trained, crate-trained, and walks well on a leash. His eager-to-please nature makes him a quick learner, and he enjoys positive reinforcement during training. Luke gets along well with other dogs, enjoys the company of children who love spending time with a sweet and affectionate dog, and has the potential to live with cats if properly introduced. He is fully vaccinated, neutered, and ready for a loving home where he can bond closely with his new family and enjoy a stable environment.  **Luke is not a Rose's Rescue dog we are posting this in order to help his caregiver find him a loving permanent home. He was rescued during the housing crisis in California when his previous owners were unable to keep him. He has received training and medical care during his time in his foster home. There will be an adoption fee of $250. Luke is located in the Santa Monica, CA 90401 area but transport is available anywhere in the US. Please contact Francine (text) 310-597-8702 for more information on this loving boy.        Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.June 22, 2025, 4:43 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.I am Calvin, Cal for short. I am a big goofy gentle giant of  6 years and 102 pounds, I came into Roses Rescue because my original family, although they loved me, couldn't care for me anymore. I am allergic to poultry and corn - they give me ear infections. So I have been put on a food where salmon is the main protein. It is delicious!!! I have been getting a squirt of salmon oil on my food, too, It is going to help my coat get soft and shiny.. My two favorite things in the world are being around people and playing fetch. I will bring my toy to you and drop it at your feet for you to throw again and again and again. I an not at all fond of cats, but I get along great with other dogs. Right now my best pal is a little Frenchie. We run around the back yard together. I love playing with kids, too, but, because of my size they need to be older kids. I don't want to accidentally knock anyone over.  I need a fenced in yard because that is what I am used to. I do not have a lot of experience on a leash or getting in and out of a car. I am crate trained and potty trained. Do you have room in your heart and home for this big ol' lover boy? I have lots of room in my heart for YOU. I am truly a gentle giant. Lets meet!   Fenced yard and German shepherd experience/knowledge preferred please.
