German Shepherd Rescue of Los Angeles

Noel

We just got three 14 week old black and tan female puppies who are looking for the right home. They are very cute girls, and extremely intelligent. They are becoming housebroken and are learning some obedience. One must have been the runt of the litter because she is much smaller than the other two. But regardless of size, a puppy is a lot of work, and a 10-15 year commitment. Don't adopt a puppy until you and your family are ready for the long-term responsibility of raising a pup, and caring for it for the rest of it's life! Sorry, but we can only consider homes in our immediate area, as a home visit will be required before an adoption will be approved. This is a terrible photo of the pups as they were sitting in the back of a car.

The puppies were turned in by their owner, a breeder who was not in the position to care for another litter of puppies. This was the second litter of puppies that he had by the same pair of dogs. A year ago, when several of the puppies from his previous litter failed to find homes, he brought them to the pound. Instead of getting his male and female German Shepherds sterilized at that time, he allowed them to breed again. This litter was 12 puppies!

These three puppies are the only ones from the litter that we were able to rescue from the owner/breeder before he planned to take them to the pound. We were lucky enough to contact the breeder and to rescue these pups before anything could happen to them. The pups are currently in a foster home, so please send an email to gsrescue@gsrescue.org or call (818) 558-7560 if you are interested in meeting the puppies.

Although the breeder "gave away" his male shepherd, he intends to keep the female. The good news is that we offered to pay to have this breeder's female shepherd sterilized so that this would not happen again. Surprisingly enough, he took us up on the offer! Thanks to your generous donations, we were able to pay for the spay surgery for this dog to prevent any more puppies from ending up in the pound!
