We try really hard to find our dogs good, loving, permanent homes.  We try to impress upon our adopters that bringing a dog into your life is a commitment of time, effort, money and love.  We urge adopters to think carefully before they adopt because we would rather have someone wait if they are not ready to accept the long-term responsibility that dog ownership entails.

But sometimes we make mistakes...

Heidi is 8 years old.  She was adopted from our rescue 7 years ago when she was just a one year old puppy.  Three years later, the family came to adopt Freda, another one year old puppy, to be Heidi's companion.  The two girls love each other and became close friends.

For the next four years, Heidi and Freda enjoyed life with their family.  They had it all.  That is until the sad day that the family decided to move, and they determined that the small backyard in their new home was not adequate for the two dogs.  Heidi and Freda, after all this time, suddenly found themselves being dropped off back at the rescue.  Their family was done with them - they were not wanted anymore!

These two dogs are very sweet, and they are so attached to each other that we would like to find them a new home together if possible.  It would be sad to have to separate them after all they have been through.  In spite of being dumped by their family, the girls are very friendly and cheerful at the rescue.  They are both beautiful black and tan girls with gorgeous coats.  They are in good shape, and are very friendly.  They have big smiles on their face for everyone that they meet.  Do you have room in your heart and home for these two lovely girls?

GERMAN SHEPHERDS DO NOT REQUIRE A LARGE BACKYARD.  THEY ENJOY BEING WITH THEIR FAMILY, AND WILL SPEND MOST OF THEIR DAY INSIDE THE HOME.  THEY DO NOT DO WELL WHEN LEFT STRICTLY IN A BACKYARD.
