German Shepherd Dog puppies and dogs in Vermont

Super sweet Astra has the most tender, soulful little personality. She’s the quiet observer of the group — thoughtful, gentle, and incredibly loving once she feels safe. Astra may take a moment to warm up, but when she does, she leans into pets like she’s been waiting her whole life for them. Watch her YouTube video now https://youtu.be/RotjRf4l6pQ?si=hOFnLBgnNWvjv6f4 She loves to play with her siblings and enjoys her toys, but she’s not wild or overwhelming. She has a calm presence about her that feels comforting. Astra would thrive in a patient, loving home that will continue showing her that the world is kind. At around four months old, this Shepherd/Lab mix is still discovering everything for the first time. New sounds and new experiences can make her a little nervous, but she’s learning every single day. With encouragement and love, she will absolutely blossom into the most loyal, devoted companion. If you’ve ever wanted a dog who bonds deeply and loves quietly but wholeheartedly, Astra is waiting to meet you. https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/69768a004d2d4c6af2078630 Questions?

This cutie is Leo. He is currently 3 months old and weighs approximately 9lbs. We think they may be a German Shepard/ Husky mix, but with rescue it’s a guess! What matters most is that they are adorable and are one the MOST desperate in the entire US based on statistics for where this puppy is from. Shelters in this area are having to euthanize puppies. So, this puppy needs you! If you choose a puppy from us, it saves their life as well as the life of another in its place. Watch Leo’s playful personality here: https://youtu.be/fDrjYA1CAjI?si=ygr2tYd5SlLCG-ko Leo is playful, sweet, curious, and cuddly. He loves to play with his siblings and take lots of naps. Eat, sleep, play, repeat- such is puppy life! We pride ourselves in being able to give you good personality and behavioral information to help ensure this baby is the right fit for you. You are also welcome to do a Facetime call to meet your new baby before signing paperwork! Leo is still very young and will need a family that can commit to training, socialization and all the dedication puppyhood requires. A puppy is discovering new things that shape their personalities with each passing day. Implementing routine, structure, setting boundaries, and proper socialization is key from the start. We require a commitment from adoptive families to crate train their new puppy starting immediately when arriving at their new home, which will help with potty training, energy management, and the overall development of a well-rounded adult dog. You will be guaranteed to get lots of kisses in return from your new best friend! Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

If you’re looking for a dog who brings joy, personality, and just the right amount of goofy charm into your life, allow us to introduce you to Bruce Allmighty. A happy-go-lucky boy who is truly learning how wonderful life can be. Bruce is the kind of dog who makes you smile without even trying. One of his absolute favorite things to do is prance around proudly with his toys in his mouth like little treasures, showing them off as if he just won a grand prize. It’s impossible not to laugh watching him enjoy the simple things so wholeheartedly. Watch his video and fall in love with this sweet boy: https://youtu.be/YxM437ISacI?si=6do3jBLjamanteOE Bruce All Mighty is believed to be a German Shepherd mix approximately 3 years old and currently weighs 53 lbs. He is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it’s always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age. Bruce is a sweet, playful soul who is still growing in confidence and learning that the world is a safe and loving place. He may look to his people for reassurance at times, but that just means he forms deep bonds and truly connects with those he trusts. Once you’re in his circle, you’re in and you’ll get to see his wonderfully goofy, affectionate personality shine through more and more each day. His foster says that watching Bruce blossom has been incredibly special, and he continues to gain confidence as he experiences new adventures. He loves to snuggle and would happily curl up beside you all day if given the chance. He enjoys morning and evening zoomies, sunbathing in the yard, and spending quality time with his people. Bruce would thrive in a home with a yard where he can enjoy his daily zoomies and stretch his legs. He absolutely loves outdoor adventures and is happiest exploring the world alongside his people. Walks, hikes, parks, and especially water activities are right up his alley. This boy loves swimming and is always ready for the next outing. While he enjoys activity, he also appreciates guidance from a confident owner who can help continue building his confidence and reinforce the wonderful progress he’s already made. He is crate trained, potty trained, eats comfortably in his crate, and settles nicely when left during normal work hours or errands. At night, he sleeps peacefully in his foster’s room. He already knows how to shake and is currently learning to sit, showing how intelligent and trainable he is when guided with patience and positive reinforcement. With other dogs, Bruce benefits greatly from companionship. He currently lives with a confident smaller dog and looks to his canine friend for reassurance and guidance. Bruce enjoys running alongside other dogs and being part of the group, though he can become a bit nervous or submissive if play becomes overly loud or intense. Because of this, he would do best with at least one confident, well-balanced dog in the home who can help show him the ropes and help him continue to grow. In public settings, Bruce is calm and well-mannered. He has visited places like PetSmart, Petco, and outdoor social spaces and generally keeps to himself, observing the world around him. Bruce rides beautifully in the car, calmly relaxing in the backseat and getting in and out with ease, making him an excellent adventure companion. At home, he loves his toy, especially his squeaky rubber “emotional support” bell pepper and plush stuffed animals, which he enjoys without destroying. He also plays with balls (though fetch is still a work in progress LOL). Bruce has been around children, including an eight-year-old, and has shown himself to be calm and inquisitive. He enjoys being included and would make a wonderful family companion in a home where kids understand gentle interactions and can give him a little time to warm up. When guests first arrive, Bruce may be cautious initially, but once he recognizes familiar faces, he relaxes and settles in comfortably. Interestingly, doorbells and knocking don’t bother him much, he tends to take things in stride. At the end of the day, Bruce Almighty is simply a joyful, goofy boy who is learning how to just be a dog after spending time surviving on the streets. He is blossoming more every day, eager to learn, eager to love, and ready for a family who will continue helping him grow into the confident companion he’s meant to be. If you’re looking for a loyal adventure buddy, a sweet snuggle partner, and a dog whose personality will keep you smiling, Bruce Almighty may be exactly the one you’ve been waiting for We are willing to test Bruce All Mighty with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?
