Meet Scooby!!

If you’ve dreamed of having a German Shepherd but were worried about their size, Scooby is perfect for you! Scooby is around one year old and is likely to be 40-50 lbs when fully grown. He gets along with all dogs and loves to chase, wrestle, and play with toys. Scooby is crate trained, sleeps quietly all night long and is house trained with frequent trips outside. Scooby would do best in a home with a playful, confident dog, and a fenced yard – he’s a zoomie runner and needs space to release that pent up energy.

GSRA adopts to NC, SC, and VA.

We are excited to share the news that Mav has found his forever home! Thanks to his incredible foster family, Mav has blossomed and is now a cherished member of the Misfit Ranch in WNC.

Mav will be forever loved by Michael, Cris, and all his fur siblings at the Ranch. One of Mav's favorite pastimes will be getting rides on Bruce, the Mavmobile, as he enjoys his new adventures.

Here’s to a lifetime of belly rubs, playtime, and endless love!

Happy New Year from Savannah, Class of 2024. Savannah, dictated this note from her new home

"I've come out of my shell. I jump for joy when Mommy takes me for truck rides in her big jeep. All Mom has to do is jingle the keys, and it's on!
I'm vocal with a long howl when I have to go out to potty and when it's getting close to feeding time. Boy, do I love to eat! Besides joy riding in the jeep, I also cuddle. up to Mommy when she is watching the rodeo and at bedtime.”

Congratulations to Savannah and Happy New Year to all!

If you look up the definition of “German shepherd,” you’ll likely find adjectives like “family-oriented,” “loyal,” “intelligent,” and possibly even “goofy.” Well, our guy Rufus pretty much checks all the boxes. He’s a gorgeous 1 - 2 year old pup who just wants to love and be loved. You can find out more about him at https://www.gsdrescue.org/animals/detail?AnimalID=20758443.

Sandy is a delightful girl looking for her forever home. She's well-mannered, knows basic commands, and she's both house and crate trained. Sandy loves her daily walks, staying calm around other dogs while sniffing around. Stuffed animals and "doggie soccer" with a basketball are her favorites. With a sweet temperament, she adores kids and enjoys car rides, though needs Dramamine for longer trips. Sandy seeks an active family, preferably with older, considerate kids and a fenced backyard. Check out Sandy’s bio to find out more: gsdrescue.org/animals/detail?AnimalID=20205488. GSRA adopts in NC, SC, & VA.

Maverick, a lovable boy with a heart full of adventure, is ready to find his forever home! He enjoys walks, truck rides, and zoomies that showcase his playful side. Maverick adores people and is a regular charmer at Lowe's. He would thrive as the solo pet with an active family who enjoys outdoor fun and understands his need for space from other dogs. If you're seeking a loyal, energetic companion, Maverick is eager to be your perfect match! GSRA adopts in NC, SC, & VA.

📣 Meet Lexi! 📣

Lexi is a lovely black and tan girl ready to find her forever home. She came to us in rough shape but has made an amazing recovery. At 8-9 years old, she's a perfect mix of energy and calm, loving her daily tennis ball time and cozy evening cuddles.

Lexi is housebroken, crate-trained, and very food-motivated. She'd do best as the only dog or with male dogs, as she's a bit of an alpha around hyper females.

This sweet girl will make a wonderful companion for anyone who welcomes her into their home. ❤️

Meet Daphne! 🐾

Picked up as a stray, this gorgeous, happy, and well-mannered girl, about a year old, didn't have anyone come looking for her. The shelter was very full and was euthanizing for space, so we stepped in and now she's safe with us!

We're so excited to have Daphne join GSRA and can't wait to see her thrive!

The GSRA team works hard to match the right dog with the perfect family which means that sometimes our ‘Coming Soon’ dogs may already be paired with an approved adopter before they officially become available for adoption.

Look who was leading Santa's sleigh last night! It's Rudolph's friend, Millie! As much as she'd love living in The North Pole playing reindeer games all year, she told Santa she'd like to stay in the USA and be loved by a family looking for a young, energetic classic GSD pup. She'll miss being Rudolph's partner, but they'll see each other every Christmas Eve for years to come as she sits by your fireplace enjoying her life in a warmer climate.
