"Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened. " -Anatole France


Message From: Jen February 3, 2012
I came on here just looking. My husband has always wanted a shepherd. And growing up my father was a police officer, and his fellow officer friends were 'k-9 cops' I grew up around them and always respected their loyalty. I became a pet specialist, and I always loved to study shepherds. I stumbled on this site. And decided to take a look around. And I fell in love with a little man. I can't wait to show my husband. I know he will fall in love too. And I'm sure my Dog (beautiful, wonderful, amazing mutt) wouldn't mind having another wagging tail around to play with. Thank you for being here. You do some amazing things.

I went to your senior page because I prefer an older settled dog.I was looking for a companion for my 6 year old Belgian Tuveren. All but one of the dogs had been adopted which is a wonderful thing. May I suggest that you remove those who have been adopted to another page such as "Happy Endings" and just keep that page for old dogs looking for a home so someone looking for an older dog won't get frustrated because 90% of the dogs aren't available. Note from GSRA: You need to look on our Available dog's page on the home page. That is where all our available dogs are listed.

I just love shepherds. I know there is a branch here in Brooklyn Park, MN. I know a black female shepherd by the name of Bella. I am happy there is a rescue for these beautiful dogs. Keep up the great work.

Message From: Rhonda January 26, 2012
I was viewing your application and see that you except apps from SC NC and Va within 150 miles of Raliegh. I live in SC but am more than 150 miles of Raliegh. I live about 30 miles north west of Charleston. Is that too far out? Note from GSRA:(We are working on the wording of that. As long as you realize that all travel to visit the dog and pick up a dog will be your responsibility.)

Message From: Bonnie Cole January 25, 2012
Thank you so much for your help in saving these dogs and placing them in loving homes. I have recently submitted my application and am very excited to get the process rolling. I hope I meet your standards. Thanks again!

Message From: Brenda Roth January 21, 2012
I work at a no-kill animal shelter. I have rescued German Shepards that are being abused and have placed them in a loving home. I think it is awesome, and y'all get alot of appreciation from me and my family.

Thank you for being a rescue service for such a awesome breed. My Bella is awesome.

Message From: Sonia December 28, 2011
Still looking for a German Shepherd but everyone we have looked at has adoption pending. We are a very loving family and dogs mean the world to us. I grew up with a German shepherd and my boys grew up with a German shepherd. We have a chocolate lab who grew up with our German shepherd who we had to lay to rest and I know he is looking for another sole mate. Hopefully the right one comes along soon.

Message From: Tanya December 18, 2011
We rescued a German Shepard from the Boca human soc. in 1992 we were going to name him Lucky but our two year old son could only say Bucky , so Bucky he was we were so blessed to have him in our family for 14 years . He has been gone for 7 years and we all still miss him so ! He was the best dog I ever had ! He was always so great full to us for bring him home . He will live in our hearts for ever ! I have had many breeds and loved then all but once you have had a German Shepard you always want one ! They are simply the Best Dogs Ever !

Good work

Message From: Deborah December 3, 2011
I have been a "guardian" (lets face it dogs aren't owned, they own us) ever since I have been a little girl, I currently live with my Lacie, a Florida Black Face Curr, also a rescue from Forever Pets Rescue. I would love to adopt a GSD as my husband was raised with them and adores the Sheperd personality. We live in Cape Coral Florida and was inquiring if any GSD rescues are available in or around our area? Please feel free to contact me via eail and let me know of any information available. We are loving "parents" and have a large home with equally large back yard. So much room for another "sibling" for Lacie to mentor,or to mentor Lacie. We would love to give a forever loving and carefree home to a young or older GSD. Thankyou and hope to hear something back soon. Note from GSRA: Check out this website for rescues in your area: http://www.agsra.com/listings.html

Message From: Janet McCormick-Church November 28, 2011
If we ever live outside the city again, we will add more GSDs to our current 3!

Message From: Candes November 25, 2011
We just lost our dog, he was german shepherd mix, he was the best dog I have ever had. I hope to have another one some day.

Message From: Sandy Mertz November 23, 2011
My husband & I would love to rescue an AKC GS make puppy. We've owned shepherds since we've been married & he had one growing up. Our last dog was a shepherd/lab mix dug under the fence & we've never found him. Even the microchip, no one took him to see if he was microchiped,he had his tags on...anyway our other dog Mocha is just lost without him...so are we. Also, we understand that GS can be helpful in warning people of on coming seizures...I have those. They know so much more than people give them credit for...I swear to you that our first GS, Baron, as a married couple, new I was w/child b4 I did.

My son, 23 yrs old, and I would love to foster a German Shepherd. We live in Wildwood, NJ, with 2 African Gray parrots and 1 adopted cat. Note from GSRA: We wish you lived in NC because we are always in need of wonderful foster homes. Please check this website for a rescue near you: http://www.agsra.com/listings.html. All rescues are in need of volunteers. Good luck and thank you for volunteering!

shepherds are wonderful i took cre of my daughters keno for two years she herded my neighbors chickens and ducks kept me safe sleptin a tractor went over the road with my hus and me

Message From: Catherine October 28, 2011
Sometime around 9 or so years ago, we completed our plication passed muster and adopted Phoebe. Since then she has been nanny and guardian of our two young daughters-who would dare come into our yard with 80 pounds of territorial mama on four flying feet barreling down on you? Our wonderful beautiful. Phoebe passed away peacefully on 10/25 after suffering to the late stages of DM. We will miss her so much, but loved her plenty over the last 9-10 years to make up for her early abuse. We will adopt another, in time. The is no other dog like these. They are truly special. We miss you. Note from GSRA: No GSD can be replaced. They each love differently, but love unconditionally! We are so sorry for your loss.

Message From: Ken Mayo October 27, 2011
Thanks for all that you do. I have been seriously thinking about a GSD for quite some time now and I'm glad to know you are there to offer a loving home to an animal that has been neglected or abandoned. It kills me to see animals suffer and abused. Keep up the good work and hopefully I will be contacting you soon for a loyal companion. Asolutely feel in love with Amber from her pix and her bio.

Message From: Megan October 25, 2011
Well...I did it! Completed the application. Fingers crossed I am worthy. I have a 2 y/o GSD who is very attached to my 14 y/o lab mix - my heart. Lu (the GSD) and I know that we will lose Paint (the lab mix) sooner than later. Each and every day she gets older and older. :( I have warned family and friends they will need to pick me up off the floor when I lose my Miss Paint!) But I also know that Lu is sooo attached - I will need to get her another companion dog almost immediately. (As I am typing, Paint came in to the room - her back legs gave out from underneath her. So hard for her and me. I am teary eyed!) I don't want to have to make "the decision" but I will if I feel it is the best for her. But, I have also given her "permission" to go if she needs. But I digress. I have been really torn - rescue from GSD Rescue or Colonial Capital Humane Society in New Bern where I know the dogs and cats are fostered and will not be euthanized, or rescue from the pound where I KNOW I am saving a life - but I don't know what I am getting. But...rescue organizations are sooooo stringent - I am NOT a perfect pet owner. I have five cats - I make appointments at the vet for them - then can't find them!!! (Dog door goes out into a fenced back yard - and my cats are hunters...imagine my life!!!) After much thought, I decided I would apply and hope that I am accepted by GSD Rescue. These dogs have been fostered and loved. The foster parents can share with me about the GSD. And, while Lu's arrival wasn't planned (she was a gift from a friend that I had shared my desire to someday have another GSD - my family had one when I was born - long and wonderful story of memories) I decided...GSDs are like potato chips...you can't have just one. Kudos to the GSD Rescue organization for all you are doing to protect this wonderful breed. I hope I can become the "Furever" home for one of your babies! (Must be cat friendly...PLEASE!) Megan McGarvey Note from GSRA: Your application will be processed soon. Adoption, no matter the organization, is ALWAYS the right choice!!!

Message From: Stephanie October 20, 2011
What a beautiful site dedicated to a beautiful dog. I think what your doing is amazing. I have a 8 week old GSD pup who is amazing and so adorable. Thank you for doing what you do. Love from Stephanie and Kwazii

Message From: Sarah October 19, 2011
I currently live in Ohio, but am moving to South Carolina in the next couple years. I am going to adopt from you. I recently saw a dog and have fallen in love with her just from her picture. I wish you adopted to people from other states. I really want her, but do not live in NC, SC, or Virginia. I really adore June. She would have made a great companion! I would like to know why you do not adopt to people outside of those states. . .Other than that, I am impressed and think you are doing great. :) Note from GSRA: We do not adopt out of those areas because we like to build a relationship with our adoptive families and be close by if help is needed. We conduct home visits before the adoption to make sure we match the right dog with the right family. We could not do that if we did not have volunteers close enough to visit.

Thank you for all that you do. GSD's are my favorite breed. I wish I could handle having more of them. Thank you again.

Message From: Pete September 12, 2011
I am seeking, preferably, a mixed GSD and Akita to train alongside my GS-Akita Hearing Dog (Service Dog). Snickers is a spayed female, 12 years old and showing hip displasia signs, although I have a chiropractor helping her. I need to start training before I go to law school, fall of 2012. Please contact me regarding any dog of this breed/mix under age three that is very alert to sound and desiring to let the person know about it, which is how I tested Snickers. Thank you! NOTE FROM GSRA: If you are interested in any of our dogs, you must fill out an application to be considered.

Message From: Erin September 6, 2011
I just read the blog "voice of the pack leader". I am glad that the dogs were rescued. So sorry to hear about Diesel, he was my dog's father. Georgia is her mother. Willow is 7 years old now and she looks just like Georgia. Thanks for all you do for the GSD's.
