German Shepherd Dog puppies and dogs in Orange, Virginia

Meet our loyal and protective two-year-old purebred German Shepherd! Unfortunately, we are relocating out of the country for a two-year assignment and cannot take him with us. He is neutered and is highly protective of our family, making him a perfect fit for an experienced owner familiar with this incredible breed. If you are the right fit for him, we will gradually introduce you to ensure he becomes comfortable with his new family. We love him dearly and want to ensure he finds a home where he will be well-cared for and understood.

I’m King and I’m a 1 year old shepherd mix male. I thought I was going for a drive like in the past, but this time I was brought into a building and then put into a cage. My daddy never came back for me and I was going a little crazy in my cage. My paws even started bleeding , because I tried to claw my way out. A nice lady was coming to see me and giving me treats and taking me outside to play in a fenced in area. I’m young and I don’t really care for boy dogs, but that lady told me that might change after I am neutered. I’m a little too interested when I see a meow, so I probably shouldn’t be around kitty cats. You can bring your girl puppy if you have one for a meet and greet. Maybe I’ll fall in love. If I could have the perfect home it would be where I had a big fenced in yard and an owner who was caring and patient. I’m young and need training to teach me manners. I just don’t know yet that counter surfing is considered rude, or that my toys are not the last ones that I will have. I have not been taught these things yet. You can meet me by responding to this post or filling out the application. They said once that is filled out, they will arrange a meet and greet. Please respond to this post if you have questions or call 540-368-4508. https://form.jotform.com/70474774347162

Meet Winter, also known as Winney or Winifred, this 7-year-old fluff ball mix is a gentle soul looking for a forever home filled with love, patience, and maybe a few dropped snacks in the kitchen. Winter is the very definition of a velcro dog—loyal, loving, and happiest when she's by your side. She adores people of all ages, has been great with neighborhood kids, and is eager to make dog friends too. She’s shown friendly curiosity on walks and while she occasionally offers a play-growl through the fence, her wiggle-butt says it’s all in good fun. Though she's still learning to feel secure in a crate, Winter is house-trained and settles beautifully in the home, especially when you’re nearby. She’s quiet, calm, and content to nap in a sunny spot or curl up at your feet while you work. She walks nicely on a loose leash and enjoys gentle strolls—but due to an old foot injury, shorter walks are best for now. Winter is food-motivated and smart, making her a great candidate for further training. She knows “sit” (on her own schedule), comes when called or whistled, and is learning to enjoy grooming and nail care. She’s had limited opportunity to play due to past medical issues, but you can tell she wants to—and with the right encouragement, she’ll likely blossom into a playful companion. Ideal Home:- Friendly dog companion preferred- Fenced yard and/or doggy door would be a plus- Patient humans willing to keep building her confidence and strength- Someone who doesn't mind sharing the couch (or floor, or bed...) with a loyal shadow Winter is a sweet, snuggly, sunshine-loving girl with so much love to give. If you’re looking for a gentle, soulful companion who will adore you with her whole heart, she might just be your perfect match. Winter is heartworm positive and has already begun treatment, which will be fully covered by GDU at our partner veterinary clinic. This pup may need some extra time before being ready for extended in-person or group training. As such, we are happy to consider adopters either in the area or out of the area who will commit to attending one private lesson with GDU, either virtually or in person, as a condition of adoption approval. Participation in Canine 101 would be ideal, but not required. At the time you are seeing this post, this dog is still available for adoption. But please know that we may be working on multiple applications already, and any one of them could be approved at any time. Please READ THIS ENTIRE DESCRIPTION and complete an adoption application, if you are interested in any of our animals. Application at www.greendogsunleashed.org If you send an inquiry to ask if the dog is still available, or just tell us you are interested, your inquiry will not be answered. FILL OUT AN APPLICATION. We can do NOTHING without that. No, we cannot tell you if he would be a match for your family without seeing an application. PLEASE KEEP READING for info. */*/* PLEASE NOTE: The first communication you will receive after completing an application will be an email response, which will have instructions on how to proceed. Please check your inbox AND spam folders for the next 48 hours, for this email. We will not begin processing an application without the information requested in that email. */*/* We are happy to consider applicants from out of state on most dogs. Please read the description to see if this dog is an exception. If the applicant is approved to adopt, they MUST be willing to come to our location in Troy, VA, for a meet and greet. If all parties agree that the pup and family are a good fit, they would take the pup home at that time. For more information about our mission and for an APPLICATION for adoption, please go to www.greendogsunleashed.com. GDU does ask a minimum adoption fee of $400.00. This does not even come close to covering all expenses created by animals while in rescue. We are funded solely by the angels and volunteers willing to donate time and finances. This minimum fee includes DAPP, rabies if age appropriate,, heartworm test and preventative, if age appropriate, and flea and tick treatment, as well as neutering or spaying, if the animal is medically sound to undergo surgery. In an attempt to avoid tummy upset from a sudden change of food, the foster family may include a small, transitional bag of the food the dog/puppy has been eating. And if the dog/puppy has grown attached to a special item (like a toy or blanket), they may send that along, as well. */*/* Young puppies will receive age-appropriate vaccines, and will be spayed/neutered prior to adoption. Adopters may be required to provide additional puppy boosters and at 16 weeks of age, a rabies vaccine. Future annual vaccines, testing and monthly heartworm preventative are REQUIRED, and will be the financial responsibility of the adopter. *****Due to the sheer number of animals and applications in our program, coupled with a limited number of volunteers, applicants MUST have patience as we process applications.   If you do not hear back from us, the animal may have been adopted.   We strive to let people know but sadly cannot offer reasons for denial beyond that.  Any harassment of our volunteers will go unanswered and we will simply block you.   Our volunteers spend their time working hard to ensure the very best for each animal.   Please remember the animal, not the applicant, is our client.*****  ##2333259##

Woody is a young, energetic, and eager-to-please German Shepherd who is looking for an active home that can match his enthusiasm for life. At around one to two years old, he has all the classic traits of a young shepherd—smart, playful, and loyal to his people. He thrives on activity and engagement, whether that’s playing fetch, going for walks, or just hanging out with his favorite humans. Woody is house-trained, crate-trained, and well-behaved indoors. He settles easily in his crate at night and is always up for a game of tug or fetch during the day. He’s particularly fond of simple pleasures—give him a stick, and he’s just as happy as if you gave him the fanciest toy. He has done well with other dogs in his foster home, especially puppies, and seems to enjoy playing the role of a gentle babysitter. He hasn’t been around small adult dogs or children, so slow introductions would be needed in those cases. On walks, Woody can be a bit of a handful, but he’s easily managed with a Gentle Leader and responds well to direction. He’s smart, trainable, and always looking to his person for guidance. A home with plenty of space to romp, regular exercise, and mental stimulation will help him thrive. If you’re looking for a loving, energetic, and loyal shepherd who’s ready for adventure, Woody is your guy. He just needs the right home to help him channel all that energy into being the perfect companion. At Green Dogs Unleashed (GDU), we are dedicated to ensuring the successful placement of our dogs in loving, permanent homes. Over the years, we have seen an increasing number of returns due to behavioral issues that could have been prevented with the right support. A significant percentage of these returns involve out-of-area clients or those who have not completed training with GDU. To address this, positive reinforcement training with Green Dogs Unleashed is required as a condition for all adoptions. Preference for this dog will be given to adopters who commit to signing up for and completing our six-week Canine 101 training class in person at our headquarters in Troy, VA. Secondary consideration will be given to a limited number of out-of-area adopters who agree to complete one private lesson with GDU, either in person or virtually, and attend a pre-approved positive reinforcement training class in their area.
