Story

6-yr-old purebred Shepherd. She’s sweet, playful, and water-loving. She loves fetch, swimming, car rides, walks, and relaxing with her humans. Super chill at home, crate trained, and has great recall. She does well with large, non-dominant dogs and gets along especially well with females. With proper, structured introductions she plays beautifully, but she won’t tolerate male dogs who try to mount. She may resource guard food or bones around other dogs (never people). She would also thrive in a home without small dogs, so she doesn’t have to be separated or managed and can enjoy more freedom and attention. She’s wonderful and deserves a home where she can relax, play, and soak up all the love. Reach out for more details.

Story

Riley was born June 24, 2023 and is now 2 years old. He is a smart and sassy pup. Known for matching your mood, loves to go outside for walks and loves car rides. PS dont roll the window all the way down. He likes baths but loves to chew on the towel when you dry him off, just give him a corner of the towel and dry him off with the rest. He is very food motivated so hes easily trainable. He knows sit, up, down, no, yes, paw, and can be iffy on stay depending on how excited he is. Hes a good pup and unfortunately i have to deploy and cannot bring him with me.

Story

Hi there! My name is FeFe, and I’m a 6-year-old German Shepherd looking for my forever home! I’m 82 pounds of black and tan floof. I know I’m a big girl, but my foster mom says there’s just more of me to love! I’m spayed, heartworm negative, and fully vaccinated, so I’m healthy and ready to go home with you! I’m a goofy and loving dog who is always up for a good time. I love to play fetch and chew on bones, and I’m always eager to learn new tricks. My foster parents recently took me dock diving. I did so well that the instructor told them to enter competitions with me! I’m very smart and energetic, so I’m looking for someone who can keep up with me! It would be best if you have experience with shepherds or other herding breeds like me. I’m house and crate trained, and my foster mom has been working with me on my leash manners. I get nervous around people and animals that I don’t know, so I’m looking for a home where I can be the only pet. I’m nice to kids but because I’m so big (and sometimes a little clumsy), I’d do best in a home with teenagers instead of small children. If you’re looking for a loyal and loving companion, I’m your girl! I’m being fostered in Portsmouth, VA and adopters will need to meet me in person prior to adoption. Complete an application to learn more about me! *Must be 21 or older to apply.

Story

Meet Rocco !! This sweet boy is really a wonderful dog. He is doing so well with his training and is very sweet and loyal. A really great companion. Rocco is an approx. 1 year old, male, German shepherd mix. He was very thin and has been steadily gaining back the lost pounds. He only weighs 40 pounds right now but is close to full grown. We expect him to thicken up a bit and be around 50 pounds at his healthy weight. He is already neutered, up to date on vaccines and microchipped. He is Heartworm negative and on monthly preventions. This sweet guy has been bounced around a lot due to no fault of his own. He was originally being given away on craigslist, then ended up extremely thin at a shelter. A very loving family adopted him but immediately suffered severe allergies they did not know they had to dogs. They kept him despite the allergies until we could male a safe spot for him. He is the best boy and just hasn’t been able to find his forever spot yet. He came to us and was adopted by someone that completely disregarded what we said up front about his exercise needs. He quickly became pent up and showed his anxiety leading them to return him. He was sent with some calming pills that should have lasted over a month. The adopter gave him all but 4 in only two weeks…. He was returned vomiting and having diarrhea. He’s doing better now but do not adopt him if you’re not willing to exercise him. It’s not fair to him. Be honest with yourself and your lifestyle. Rocco is a smart boy and learns fast. He is already very good with almost all of his training when exercised properly. He is potty trained and has not had any accidents. He is decent with his leash walking and loves car rides. The only thing he struggles with is some separation anxiety when left alone. He is currently crated but will whine and pace around in the kennel. We have found that this does not happen if he has had some good mental exercise prior to being put in the crate. If his brain is tired he can relax when alone. He has been good with other dogs he has met so far. He can be very active when playing so another tolerant or active playmate would be best for him. He is also fine as an only dog. He has not meet any cats or kids yet so we are unsure how he would do. He is very sweet and loving so we think he would do good with kids. Rocco has been really good so far and adjusted to his foster home quickly. He so far has not shown any issues with sharing food, treats or toys with humans. He has been great with all new people. He enjoys going on outings to the woods or pet friendly stores. He really loves being outside. He currently has a medium to high energy level. He is not super high strung all the time but he does need mental stimulation to keep the anxiety down when you leave him. A walk to sniff around in the woods, a 20 min obedience lesson or anything that gets his brain tired a few times a day works really well. He also loves walks, running around the yard, playing with other dogs and with toys. Once he has gotten that energy out he can be fairly relaxed around the house and likes to cuddle. Rocco has been a very sweet and loving boy. He is a beautiful young dog with a ton of potential. If you’re looking for a smart, loyal and fun dog then he may be your guy. Vet and home checks required. Located in Hampton VA. (He will need to be adopted within a 2 hour drive radius) ‼️Please message VillageDogResource@gmail.com directly with questions or to get an application.

Story

The rescue story of our perfect German Shepherd boy called Aries as told by his foster mom. He is about 6-7 years and just under 80 pounds: Aries is probably the happiest dog I’ve ever had! He has a lot to celebrate and I think he knows it… I heard that a GSD was at a full local “kill” shelter and made up my mind to rescue him when I heard he had 1 more day.When I went to the shelter to pick him up, his demeanor was to maintain his distance. You could tell he was confused and on his back foot about where he was and why. Then he got a whiff of my farm boots and the great outdoors and his expression changed.Upon arrival at my farm, his personality came alive. I turned him loose in a big grassy field and he ran and sniffed and explored, always coming back to check in with me to make sure I was ok with his enthusiasm!!Since that day he has never looked back. The freedom and carefree abandon he is experiencing is evident in his happy eyes and tail wags.His best friends are two Heelers who he frolics with for hours. His most favorite toy is a big blue ball that he happily plays with when everyone else is resting. Every morning and evening when I feed him he expresses gratitude with wags and a loving lick or two to my face.The best situation for him would be a home with a big yard and lots of room to run and play. He is is a mature and settled, calm dog who has thrived here with me and his new dog friends. He prefers no cat friends!
