Story
Meet Margaret! 🐾❤️ Margaret is an 8-year-old German Shepherd mix with a heart as strong as her spirit. When she was found abandoned and alone — skinny, tired, and clearly having weathered some tough times — it was obvious she hadn’t been given the care she deserved. But despite everything she’s been through, Margaret’s light still shines bright. She is incredibly sweet, affectionate, and full of life. Margaret hasn’t let her past dim her joy — she still loves to play, especially a good game of fetch! Watching her chase after a ball with her tail wagging and a big, happy grin is a reminder of how resilient and hopeful dogs can be. Margaret is looking for a forever home where she’ll finally get the love, comfort, and security she’s always deserved. She’s ready to trade her difficult past for cozy naps, gentle pets, and endless games of fetch in the yard. This special girl has waited long enough — could you be the one to show Margaret what it means to be truly home? 🏡💛

Story
Meet Scribble! Scribble is a mid-age, medium-sized shepherd mix who came to us after being pulled from a local open-intake animal control. How he ended up there is a mystery, but what we do know is that this boy is nothing short of incredible. With his soft eyes, adorable face, and the gentlest spirit you’ll ever meet, Scribble has quickly become a shelter favorite. He’s the definition of a chill companion, easygoing, affectionate, and happy just being by your side. Whether you’re settling in for a quiet evening or heading out for a relaxing stroll, Scribble is the kind of dog who matches your energy and melts into your life effortlessly. Scribble isn’t asking for much, just a loving person to call his own, a cozy home to finally settle into, and someone who’s ready to receive all the quiet loyalty and love he has to give.

German Shepherd Dog

Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Mara is a gentle, affectionate German Shepherd (age7) with a loving heart and a lot of loyalty to give. She is the kind of dog who thrives on connection and just wants to be near her person ; whether that is snuggling on the couch or following you from room to room. She is smart, devoted, and has a playful, curious side, especially outdoors. She loves being active and enjoys car rides, yard time, and chasing after flies and bees. With a moderate energy level, she is happy to get some exercise and then settle in for quality quiet time with her people. She is sweet, sensitive, and thinks she is a lap dog! Mara has lived with her male German Shepherd sibling and a bulldog but hasn’t been around unfamiliar dogs, cats, or small children. She could adapt to a home with other dogs if introduced slowly. Because she can be anxious with small kids or chaotic environments, a home with adults or older teens is best.

Roanoke, VA
Size

Story
Meet Luther, a loyal, mature German Shepherd (age 7) who is searching for a committed forever home. Luther is intelligent and a protective companion, the classic traits of his breed. He is house-trained and non-destructive, making him a great indoor partner. He is energetic and enjoys activities like car rides, long walks, toys, and time spent outdoors, but he also knows how to relax at home. He has strong guard instincts and is alert and reactive to noise. Because he can be nervous with unfamiliar people or changes, he requires a patient owner who can manage transitions carefully. The ideal home for Luther is a calm and predictable environment with a securely fenced yard. We are seeking individuals familiar with large, protective breeds. He requires a home without small children (teens or adults preferred) and should ideally be the only pet, though he might be introduced slowly to other dogs. Luther could be rehomed with his female sibling, but he is ready to go to a new home alone.

German Shepherd Dog Rottweiler

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Chase was a stray we took in ten years ago. He went through K9 Off Leash Training & Rescue’s two week board and train program. At that time, he was very food aggressive. He had bitten our other dog and me prior to the training. He has not bitten anyone else ever or since. He does well on leash and obeys commands. He still does not do well around other dogs. I have advanced degenerative arthritis and balance issues and being around him has become hazardous for me because I am at risk for falls. He is a sweet boy who needs someone who can make him their only pet.

Story
Loki is a black German shepherd dog and is house trained, great with kids and loves to be outside but also close to people for comfort. He likes to lay at your feet or even curl up on a cozy couch if you let him but he’s completely happy laying by your feet 24/7. He has a big fear of being kenneled for long periods or even short periods so he needs a strong kennel that doesn’t bend as he can escape regular ones. He needs someone who has time for him so he doesn’t spend the majority of his time locked up. He loves to be loved and is a loyal companion.
