German Shepherd Dog

Male, Puppy
Jefferson, WI
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
9 months old (estimated) Neutered male Looking for a home without cats or other dogs  Roscoe is an active, smart boy who would love a job to keep his brain busy! He already knows sit, shake, and down, and he’s eager to show off his skills, especially when treats are involved. Roscoe is both loving and intelligent, always happy to be by your side and ready to learn what’s next. Roscoe is looking for a home that will enjoy his enthusiasm, continue his training, and appreciate his big heart and bright mind The online adoption listing websites require that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable so for most of the dogs we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We encourage you to select your new companion by considering each dog's individual personality and pet qualities instead of relying on a breed label that is only a guess.February 3, 2026, 9:42 am

Story
Stormy came to my home around 9 months of age. Previous owner was elderly and having health issues. She is almost 2 1/2 now. She is a sweet, loving, snuggly girl. Great with kids. Loves chewing bones. Energetic. She is a runner so would recommend a fenced in yard or tie-out run. She likes to chase any critter. Loves walks, but is a puller. She does better with a harness. I’m needing to rehome her because she has become very possesive over me and has been aggressive and bit our older dog. She has never had any issues with other dogs. She goes to dog parks and doggy daycare with no problems. At home I think she just wants to be the center of doggy attention. She is a lover girl and it breaks my heart to have to rehome her.

Story
🐾 Meet Pam— The Sweetest Companion You Could Ask For! 🐾Looking for a loyal, gentle soul to share your days with? Meet Pamela (Pam), a beautiful German Shepherd mix estimated to be around 8–10 years old. She’s the perfect blend of calm and affectionate, happiest when she’s by your side or relaxing nearby, keeping an eye on her favorite people. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs and is great with kids — patient, friendly, and always up for a bit of love. Pam is the kind of dog who quietly wins your heart with her loyal eyes and steady presence. She enjoys going for walks, trotting along to sniff the world around her, and has a funny streak when it comes to chasing squirrels (they keep her young at heart!). She did amazing at the groomer and loves a good pampering day.Because she still has that shepherd instinct to explore, she’ll do best in a home with a fenced yard or when kept on a leash during outdoor adventures. If you’re looking for a calm, loving, and loyal companion who will adore being part of your family, Pam is your girl. She’s ready to find her forever home — could that be with you? ❤️apply at wbdr.org

I am a semi energetic happy gal that LOVES my people unconditionally. I do like other dogs and cats. I like daily walks, car rides, toys, dog beds and hanging out with my humans. I am house trained and crate trained. (but much prefer being free and hanging out with my humans ....do you work from home?) I will require daily walks and some dog training. No children under 6 yrs of age. I am NOT an apartment or condo dog. I am a family pet!

Story
Sasha is being fostered in PA. Sasha needs to be an only dog. She does not like active dogs Sasha can ONLY be adopted to a home with older children or all adults. Sasha is NOT good with cats. Sasha is spayed. Christmas time is here, soon a new year will dawn, and I’m still patiently waiting for my furever home and that special family to give me lots of love and belly rubs. I enjoy walks and will do OK without a fenced yard if you take me out on walking adventures. If you have a fenced yard I will run and play with you. I just enjoy the company of peeps. I don’t care to be with other dogs, just be by myself with my humans. I am a good girl in the house…unless you leave tasty morsels of food on the counter. Then I may just have to help myself! I know Sit, Down, am learning Wait, but I don’t really want to wait, hee hee. I also do pretty well on a leash. I’m still working on some other things like no jumping up on my peeps. I just want to greet and say Hi and give kisses and hugs to my peeps. BDRA has voted against the use of electrical fencing effective immediately.

Story
About Me: Name: Majestic Aventurine Breed (or best guess): Mixed - possibly German Shepherd/Cattle Dog Approximate Age: 8 months Gender: Male Approximate Weight: 43 lb Adoption Fee: $495 each Requirements: Loving Family with patience Why In Rescue: Texas Transfer Profile:    Foster Update:   We have been calling him Draco and he responds to that really well! He is super curious about everything and loves to explore. He is a gentle giant (well maybe not as big as a giant) who loves cuddles and attention. He gets along with all dogs big and small. He is potty trained and kennel trained. He is very smart, he knows sit, and gets a routine down very quickly. Original profile:  Majestic Aventurine came to us from our Texas rescue partner where he was waiting for a rescue for months.  He is bigger than the usual dogs we rescue but he deserved a chance at life and his time was up in Texas.  He spent most of his time living in an outside kennel, so living inside is new to him.  He does alert bark to people he doesn't know, and needs a bit of time to become comfortable with new people, but he is a great dog who just needs a chance!  Don't delay in filling out the pre-adoption application so you can meet one of these cute dogs! If interested in adoption, the first step is filling out the pre-adoption application at http://www.bichonrescues.com/pre-adoption-form-dog  If link isn't clickable, please copy/paste or visit http://www.bichonrescues.com.  Please note, filling out inquiry forms on Petfinder or Adoptapet and/or their application forms does not constitute an application for one of our dogs.  Priority in responding to inquires and applications is always to the applications filled out on our website, time constraints limit the number of other inquires we can reply to.  We do put the needs of each particular dog first, so it is nothing personal if we determine a specific dog isn't suitable for your home or living situation. We do our best to evaluate the dogs while they are with us, but they sometimes act different in the shelter environment than they do in a home.  Many times we do not know the actual breed/mix or age of the dog, in that case we use our best guess as to breed and age.   We are located in Mukwonago, WI.  Adopters must come to us, we do not ship our dogs.  Please do not apply for a dog until you are ready to adopt.  Once an application is approved you will be notified by email to make an appointment to meet the dog.  All dogs are seen by appointment only. The adoption fee through Bichon and Little Buddies Rescue is $495 for most adults and up to $650 for puppies which includes Wi State Sales Tax.  Included in this fee is your new companion who will be spayed/neutered, have a current Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (as required by state law), current on age appropriate vaccinations, heartworm tested (if old enough) and started on preventative, microchipped, and given a general wormer.  Other medical needs will also have been taken care of, such as dentals and treating ear infections.  To assist you and your new pet in adjusting to life together, you may chose to take an 8 week age appropriate obedience training course at For Pet's Sake Dog Training in Mukwonago, WI for $100 (up to $260 value).  You may opt to take Puppy Kindergarten, Adult Beginners, or Small Dogs Big Hearts.  You must register for the class within 90 days of adoption for the reduced fee.  For more information on the classes visit www.forpetssake.cc  More important information: ***We are a Wisconsin based rescue and do not ship our pets.  If you are considering adoption you must be willing to drive to meet and adopt the pet, as well as bring the pet back to us if the adoption doesn't work.  We adopt primarily in WI and IL, but will consider applicants in MN, IA, and MI.*** ***Please do not set up an appointment to meet the animals until you are ready to take your pet home.  If the meeting results in a match, you can often take the dog/cat home the same day or within a couple days if the medical care hasn't been completed.  We are not able to hold pets for adopters beyond this time.  Thanks for understanding.*** ***While we hope all of our adoptions lead to permanent homes for the animals we place, sometimes things just don't work out.  We do have a 30 day trial period.  For the first 30 days, if you or Bichon and Little Buddies decide that the adoption isn't a good match for either the humans or the pet, the adoption fee will be refunded minus $100 within 30 days of the return of the dog.  Bichon and Little Buddies also requires adopters to return the pet to us at any time that they are unable or unwilling to care for the animal anymore.*** ***We do not show dogs without an appointment.  The first step in adoption is filling out the pre-adoption application at http://www.bichonrescues.com/pre-adoption-form-dog  Please do not call/email until AFTER you have filled out an application.*** Bichon and Little Buddies is a State Licensed Rescue # 268555-DS January 21, 2026, 8:54 pm
