Otto 3yrs, GSD/Malinois Mix, 65 lbs

🏡Seeking forever home - Or a Temporary Foster 🏡

Otto is extremely intelligent, highly obedient, and requires an experienced handler who can provide the mental and physical stimulation he needs.

He has not had much structure in his life, but is highly trainable being exceptionally smart and eager to learn.

He does well on the leash and has great energy, so we recommend an active adult household without children.

Otto appears to be pretty reactive to other dogs, so he would do well as an only dog.

If you can provide an active home, in addition to the love and boundaries Otto needs, apply today!

Adopt or Foster!
Falcon, MALE ♂ | 8 YEARS OLD | 82 LBS

Falcon is an adorable German Shepherd who was rescued from a shelter in LA.

He is a lovely boy that has a friendly and calm personality.

Always up for a long game of fetch, he could use a good owner that’ll be willing to play with him!

Although he loves his fetch, Falcon isn’t overly active as he is in his golden years.

He walks excellent on leash and is good with other dogs.

Falcon is a pure sweetheart that warms up to new people quickly, gracing them with his gentle demeanor.

He’s a great partner for whatever the day lies ahead. If you want the perfect dog to stand by your side and provide continuous love, consider filling out an application today to foster or adopt! He’s quite a joy to have around.

💖Seeking Immediate Short Term Foster
Or A Forever Adopter💖

She’s sweet, shy and a bit fearful

Do you have a patient and calm demeanor? She may be a good fit for you.

Once she's comfortable she's definitely more high energy, but she is anxious and reactive to loud noises and scared/excited by other dogs.

She loves toys and things to chew on (toys, bones, etc)

She loves her big bed and to cuddle!

Mostly she just wants to run and play!

Medical Dog Would Love a Foster or Adopter

Aspen, MALE ♂ | 8 YEARS (not 6 yrs) | 70 LBS

Aspen is a beautiful and gentle Swiss White Shepherd/husky mix with the sweetest eyes.

This loving pup was rescued from the Riverside County Shelter and Happy Hearts as been nursing him back to health.

Although he’s no longer a puppy, Aspen loves to play and is very lively. He walks well on a leash, is very calm and easy-going, and is friendly with people and dogs.

Although Aspen is a sweetheart, he is not a pushover, so if a dog shows aggression or exerts dominance, Aspen will not be submissive and will bark back at them.

We feel like Aspen would make a great family dog and do well with adults and children due to his wonderful demeanor.

If you’re looking for a well-mannered dog who will show you affection and devotion, Aspen is your guy.

Submit an online application to meet Aspen and we’ll set something up!

Buddha

Seeking Immediate Foster or Forever Human. You can even try Fostering before you adopt 💜

MALE ♂ | 4 YEARS OLD | 70 LBS

Buddha is our sweet Chow Chow / Border Collie mix that has a mild and sweet temperament.

✅He’s house trained, crate trained, and also responsive to commands.

Buddha does well on the leash and enjoys a lot of play time in the yard.

This big teddy bear will play fetch with you for hours and yes, he’ll even return the ball!

Buddha would do well in a home where they can respect him not being overly affectionate.

Children over 15 is needed, as it is important that everyone in the household can respect his boundaries.

Chows can be very affectionate but on their own terms. He very much has a Chow personality and it’s recommended his adopter knows the breed well.

Buddha never wants to do any wrong and always hopes on making his owner happy and proud. He bonds deeply with his person and just needs a home where he can do so freely at his own slow pace!

He is pretty low maintenance, meaning he does not require miles of running a day and is sweet with other dogs and kids, although he would prefer to be the only dog in the house.

He’s a great dog for someone who will take him on walks but also will just relax at home. A place where he’s treated as family, taking him to run errands and visit new walking trails is how simple it is to make this guy happy.

Meet Lucas!

MALE ♂ | 4 YEARS OLD | 80 LBS

Lucas is a friendly four year old German Shepherd who is one happy boy!

Lucas is new to the rescue, but we can see in his behavior what a loving guy he is when he’s around people that respect him.

Lucas walks calmly on leash and doesn’t seem to be dog aggressive. He’s more so curious about other dogs, but he won’t pull you towards one.

He’s easy to redirect and loves receiving some treats, so further training should be done easily from his food motivation.

If you want to learn more about this cute boy or set up a meet and greet, fill out an application on our website! He’ll be happy to meet you.

Diesel, GSD Mix

MALE ♂ | APPROX. 2 YEARS OLD | 65 LBS

✅Good with kids
✅Likes other dogs

Diesel is one handsome boy who was rescued from a high-kill shelter.

He is good on leash after he settles down a bit. Some stern positive reinforcement will go a long way.

Being confined in the kennels has been hard for Diesel. When he gets his chance for a walk he is extremely relieved to be out of the kennels.

Diesel seems like the kind of dog that just wants to be around people, especially those who love nature seeking. He loves brushing against anything that feels like a good scratch and adores receiving and giving affection to people.

Sometimes he does exhibit puppy behavior when he wants to jump on people for attention, so he would need further training.

He isn’t dog aggressive, although sometimes he wants to greet one across the street.

If you’re looking for a dog that can be a good adventure buddy but will also just chill with you on a laid-back day, maybe Diesel is for you!

Complete an application on our website to set a meet and greet today to meet this sweet boy.

Our Story

Happy Hearts GSD Rescue is dedicated to saving the lives of as many dogs as possible from high kill shelters, with an emphasis on German Shepherds and GSD mixes. Once pulled from the shelters, they are placed in foster homes where they are socialized and rehabilitated according to their individual needs. The primary behavioral issues we deal with are trust building and proper socialization skills so they can function in their future forever homes. We rescue many senior dogs that often have high medical expenses and it is only though the generosity of our donors that we are able to save them. Fosters who generously open their homes and hearts to dogs desperate for love and support are the foundation of everything we do. Volunteers who are able to help with walking or who have special skills are always needed. If you are interested in Fostering or Volunteering please fill out an application located on our website: happyheartsgsr.org We also actively seek Adopters by advertising on AdoptAPet.com, PetFinder.com and RescueMe.org. If you use this link when you order from Chewy.com $20 will be donated to our organization, no matter how big or small your order is: https://www.chewy.com/rp/2816
