German Shepherd Puppies For Adoption Free

She loves her walks, being outside and also likes swimming so can be a little excitable when she thinks she is about to go out. She was in quite a sorry state but with time and patience they have got her to where she is today. Camy Lou is great with people but she suffers from toy aggression. She takes little notice of other dogs when out but she is very stick/toy orientated and will need to be muzzled when out to prevent any incidents. Camy Lou responds to basic commands and has a good recall unless she is distracted by a stick or toy. Her current owners love her dearly but are sadly unable to keep her as she attacked one of their other dogs, while in the home, because of a stick.

This gorgeous girl has a lot of love to give and would benefit from an experienced GSD owner with no other pets and no children. This beautiful little girl is 3 year old Lulu who is fully vaccinated and micro-chipped and spayed and currently in foster. She has previously lived with children and is ok with most dogs but cannot tolerate small ones and definitely no cats. She is fully house trained but will require further training as she will pull on the lead and needs to learn a few manners. She suffers with dust and food allergies and is currently on medication and a special diet for this; she is currently insured and this is transferrable. She will require a firm handler who can provide her with the guidance and socialization she requires as well as the care needed with her allergy.

A lovely girl who needs a chance to enjoy another loving home. Many of these rescues and shelters receive their dogs from owner surrenders and the streets. Some German Shepherd rescues in Michigan are strays, abandoned dogs, homeless, or abused dogs. Since they are a large dog breed, many dog owners find it difficult to care for this type of dog.

All of these factors important to keep in mind before choosing to adopt a German Shepherd rescue. Without further ado, here is our list of the 6 best German Shepherd rescues in Michigan. This lovely girl is 4 year old Zoey who is in need of a new home. She is so eager to please, our assessor took her out and found she would not stray far and came back immediately, excellent obedience.

She loves to play with her ball, has no food aggression, sleeps in her crate and travels well. She is no longer up to date with her vaccinations and has not been spayed or micro-chipped. Try to recall, keeping a pet is a massive responsibility that ought to never be disregarded. With the right training strategies, you are likely to have a really good pet and a loyal companion. Again, it's strictly sensible to adopt a dog in childhood that would be far simpler than you do orientation.

This dog is quite lazy and requires less volume of exercise. Little dogs are ideal for adoption when looking at the older and invalid. Most retired dogs just have a couple of years old life left, jointly with old age difficulties, or any injuries. Just by adding in the neighborhood zip code and selecting a dog breed in the drop-down menu you'll be capable of seeing the available dogs and puppies in your location. For over 15 years, Coastal German Shepherd Rescue, a non-profit 5013 public charity based in Orange County, has been dedicated to caring for and finding loving homes for abandoned dogs. We save the unwanted seniors, the discarded dogs who need medical care, and so many more.

This lovely boy is 2 year old Gandalf also known as G Bear. He is up to date with vaccinations, neutered and micro-chipped. He has unfortunately been diagnosed with hip dysplasia but thanks to his good muscle tone the vet has advised he does not require an operation; the current pet insurance is transferrable. He will suit an experienced owner who will understand his behaviour and provide him with the guidance and manners he requires. Each dog applying to our program is evaluated for temperament and behavioral information. All accepted dogs are spayed or neutered, updated on vaccinations, and receive essential medical care.

Then the dogs are placed into GSRNE foster homes, while they await new homes. Finally, each dog is carefully placed in a loving home with a family that matches that dog's temperament, activity level and needs. They place rescued cats and dogs in foster care with their Michigan volunteers as they search for permanent homes.

In addition, All About Animals evaluates adoption applications on a best-match basis. This means that even though you apply early, you may not adopt a pet as quickly. They try to match all their dogs, especially German Shepherds, with someone who lives a similar lifestyle. This beautiful boy is 4 year old Theo who will need an experienced owner to provide him with time for exercise and socialisation. He currently lives with another dog and children but would now be best placed with much older teenagers. Although he lives with another dog and gets on well with her, he does not like other dogs when out.

He requires a home with GSD experience who will guide and stimulate him, in return you will have a fabulous loving dog. He currently lives in a barn but is chained up as he keeps escaping and has killed the neighbours prize chickens. The neighbours have threatened legal action if Bruno is not re-homed soon.

While chained Bruno shows aggression and will nip, but when off the chain he is a completely different character and is very friendly. He responded to simple commands and took treats from our assessor. We are unsure if he is house trained but he does not mess in his barn.

He is not currently walked and so will need some lead training. He shows no aggression when allowed to be free and will make a great addition to the right home. This young man just needs a chance to be a pet rather than a yard dog.

PLEASE do some research about dogs in general and German Shepherds in particular before deciding you want one. All puppies are cute and lovable but if you don't understand the history & purpose of the breed, you won't be prepared for the reality of a German Shepherd or Shepherd cross pup. They are known worldwide for their unmatched loyalty, their endless courage and stamina, and their devotion to their family. BUT they are a remarkably intelligent dog that require a calm consistent leader to teach them manners and we have to EARN that loyalty we all desire. Their original purpose was to provide protection to herds of sheep.

They are naturally protective and also driven to "herd". As puppies, they are rough, very high drive, nipping little alligators. Chasing anything is FUN and many Shepherds are "prey" driven which means, cats and rabbits and birds are all "fair game" to your puppy.

You MUST be prepared to accept the challenge that a Shepherd or Shepherd cross pup will provide you with or please don't apply for one. A dog should be for LIFE, and all family members should be onboard with expectations of acceptable behavior and responsibility. We can offer guidance and direction but be prepared to engage the support of a professional trainer if you are new to owning a Shepherd or Shepherd cross pup or adult. The amount of effort a person puts into any dog or pup will determine the outcome of owning one of these amazing animals. Greater Houston German Shepherd Dog Rescue is a 5013 non-profit organization. We are a breed-specific group dedicated to the rescue of German Shepherd Dogs ; and do not knowingly accept mixed-breed dogs into our program.

Our GSDs are obtained from public shelters where they are scheduled to be euthanized or they are given to us directly by their owners. All dogs receive the necessary health care, including spaying/neutering and are micro-chipped and then are placed in a foster home until they are adopted. Our dogs are guaranteed a place in our organization throughout their life. This lovely dog is 8 years young Buddy who is entire and vaccinations are overdue. He currently lives with a family, a cat, loves to play with other dogs in the park and previously lived with dogs in a former home. The family are no longer able to keep Buddy due to his food aggression and behaviour towards various members of the family.

However, our assessor found him to be a lovely, friendly dog who was energetic and this was no doubt due to not getting enough exercise or stimulation. In the right home he would make a fabulous addition and would suit an active family preferably with older children due to his excitable nature. This poor little sad girl is 3 year old Shiloh who is up to date with her vaccinations, is micro-chipped and spayed. Although she currently lives with 3 other dogs, she is not happy in their company and has been fighting with them so is desperately in need of a home as an only dog/pet.

She is a very nervous young dog and takes time to settle when visitors arrive but is exceedingly affectionate to her people. She is in desperate need of a home where the new owner will preferably not have any other pets or young children and will be able to devote the time and dedication to this very loving dog. All dogs are spayed/neutered, up-to-date on shots and heartworm free by the time they are re-homed. She is a somewhat anxious girl that can be reactive to new people, new dogs or new situations. Her current family adore her and have done much work with her to curb her anxiety. Unfortunately, with young children, their home is just too busy for a dog like Penny to thrive in so they are reluctantly letting us find her the perfect home!

Penny loves "her" people and would be happiest in a quieter home. Fully house and crate trained, Penny is a wonderful companion. She is clever and devoted and would be a perfect companion for a retired or semi-retired single or couple that would enjoy the company & protection she will provide. We are in urgent need of one or two foster homes for two dogs in our care, Kimber & Allie.

Kimber is a 3 year old female Shepherd/Malinois cross, happy & energetic. Allie is a 9 year old female Shepherd cross, happy but less active. They can go together to one foster home or can be split up.

Both are housetrained and know and respond well to basic commands. These girls have a high chase/prey drive so a home without cats or small animals is necessary. Kimber has a foster home available mid September so we only need a temporary place for her. K-9 Strays takes in dogs from owner surrenders and county shelters' euthanasia list with a mission to give them a better second chance at life.

Furget Us Not Rescue's mission is to provide a haven and permanent home for companion pets who are found abandoned, rescued from shelters, and owner surrenders. They do this by providing owner education, compassionate care, and animal advocacy to save our companion dogs' lives. Stray and abandoned companion animals find sanctuary at Precious Pets Adoption League located in Sterling Heights, Michigan.

This non-profit rescue uses its foster home network to rescue as many companion animals as possible in Michigan and surrounding states. The rescue takes in dogs and cats, gives them the necessary medical care, and re-homes them with loving families. Hello , My name is Barbara Keller and I am interested in the 5 month old or younger German Shepherd puppy for adoption . My husband and I have had three German Shepherds in the past and we love the breed .

Our last one passed away about 5 months ago and we miss him terribly . We would love another one because they are very loyal, affectionate , and intelligent and more. We live by our selves and love the wonderful company they are and we love to spoil our dog. We love to wrap their packages up and put them under the tree and watch them tare them apart . Toys , bones, food, new beds anything a dog might like. We have tried to adopt a German Shepherd for quite a few months now and we are not lucky enough I guess .

To adopt a forever friend, K-9 Strays encourages you to bring a filled out adoption application from their website in advance. This will make the process go faster when visiting the rescue. The rescue also encourages you to bring your family along if you live with them. For some dogs, you can leave with them on the same day.

Detroit Dog Rescue claims to be the first no-kill shelter in the city. The rescue was founded in 2012 and has committed itself as a canine companion rescue, rehabilitation, and placement facility. This dog rescue in Michigan has expanded its programs to include monthly low cost and free vaccination clinics. Since there are many dog breeds in their foster care system, you can easily find a German Shepherd in this rescue in Michigan.

He's currently living with different dogs although we are unsure how he'll react with cats. This lovely dog is nice-natured but also rather nervous. Just by adding in the local zip code and deciding on a dog breed from the drop-down menu. Layla is a lovely 2yr old bitch in desperate need of some love and attention. She was being kept in a run down, outside kennel with straw as her only comfort. She is very friendly and didn't bark once when we went to assess her, she was just glad of some attention.

She is quite underweight and has little muscle tone on her back end. This will improve once she is being fed and exercised more regularly. This young girl needs time, patience and most of all love to steer her back onto the road to good health. She would ideally suit an experienced owner without young children.

This lovely lad is 2 year old Tala who is up to date with his vaccinations and entire. He currently lives with children but would be best placed with much older, more experienced ones, loves to play with other dogs but a definite no to cats. Tala will need firm handling and will need to know who is the leader (certainly not him!), he would benefit from further training as he has not been allowed off lead.

He is housetrained, travels well and will make a fabulous dog in the right home where he will be stimulated and allowed the chance to have a good run out in the fields. Use the nationwide database of dogs looking for good homes below! Search by zip code to meet available dogs in your area. Please note, these dogs are from rescues and shelters nationwide and are not available through the ASPCA.

75 Hard Before And After

If you're not familiar, 75 Hard is a mental toughness program created by Frisella, that he says can also come with physical changes. This Thursday, April 1st, is the official kickoff for the 75 Hard challenge that I mentioned in my previous post. If you didn't read that, let me catch you up. I need to do two 45 minute workouts a day, one of which must be done outdoors. I need to drink a gallon of water a day and follow a diet with no cheat meals. I need to read 10 pages a day from a nonfiction or self-help book.

The last thing is to take a progress picture every day. So I had to be very intentional about how I consume the water. And this was one of the hardest parts for me. The second piece around this is performed to daily workouts, those workouts had to be at least 45 minutes each and one of them had to be outside.

Now there were days where I would do a morning workout and then I would immediately go into a 45-minute walk afterward. And so that really is a two-hour two workouts right together. But you have to do 45 in each and you have to truly you know commit yourself to do one outside you also have to do some reading you have to read 10 pages a day. I didn't have a problem with this you can take notes and whatnot but it really is about you learning to read nonfiction and really challenge your brain.

You have to follow a diet which we talked about before it is any diet you choose you can have some flexibility, but you can't deviate from the diet. And then you have to take a picture every day a daily progress picture so here's the before and after. In the midst of quarantine, it seemed as though the 75 Hard Challenge took over my social media.

Especially on TikTok, I saw video after video of users giving this mental toughness challenge a shot. I was immediately intrigued and looked up what the challenge was all about. The 75 Hard Challenge was created by fitness guru Andy Frisella. He wanted to make a challenge that would show people what effect 75 days straight of discipline could have on yourself. 75 Hard is not a fitness program, even though there are physical benefits to it. One of the biggest things I had to overcome and manage was my body.

Going from working out 5 days a week to working out twice a day for 45 minutes each for 75 days in a row takes its toll on both your mind and body. Because my goal was to complete the program I was more intentional about the variety of my workouts. My goal wasn't to max lift on every exercise I did.

Instead it was to be intentional about my effort and exercises. This included mixing in yoga so that I could keep my body stretched and limber. Before starting, I outlined some goals that I had and wanted to work towards. A big challenge I have is clean eating…I love food, specifically food that is not good for you. I am not big into fast food, but I do love decadent foods…ice cream, cookies, cake, brownies, chocolate; and I do enjoy having a drink with my friends. The working out was never really going to be a super hard part of this challenge because I have been consistently working out for the last 5 or 6 years, but my diet has served to my detriment.

I was very eager on fixing this and hoped that my health, physical appearance, and overall how I felt would be improved simply by adjusting my diet and cutting out all snacks and alcohol. I also wanted my dietary changes to be sustainable so that it would be easy to maintain after this challenge. A big problem I've witnessed with myself and others, is committing to a "diet" that is hard to keep up in the long run which results in the person not being able to stick to it. I'm not interested in a "2 week washboard abs diet plan"…I want something that would keep me healthy for the next 20 years and that I can do without much thinking.

Caroline Apovian, MD, codirector of the Center for Weight Management and Wellness at Brigham and Women's Hospital and a Harvard Medical School faculty member agrees. She says the most outrageous of the 75 hard challenge rules is drinking a gallon of water a day. "I am not sure most people need to drink that much water," she says. Sklar points out that programs like this are "targeted towards beginners," and 90 minutes of exercise can be a lot for those who don't really work out much or at all.

"Even though it's presented as a mental toughness program, the accompanying pictures are mostly testimonial style 'transformation' photos," Sklar says. "As a result, this presents as a fitness program. While there are benefits to mental strength training, there are safer and highly effective ways to create lifestyle change that is sustainable." The #75HARD Challenge is the newest diet and exercise trend all over the Internet. The challenge lasts 75 days of following clearly set rules about your diet, workouts, and personal development.

There are no cheat days allowed, and if participants do break even 1 rule, they start back at day one. On the surface, this may seem like more of a physical fitness challenge, but Frisella strictly rejects this idea. While it's true that switching to these habits will most likely have a physical effect on your body, this challenge was crafted purely to test mental toughness. The point is to prove to yourself that you will stick to the guidelines no matter what — absolutely no excuses or modifications. The catch is that if you don't completely abide by these guidelines even just for one day or have one slip up, you have to start over.

I haven't picked up one dumbbell, kettlebell nor resistant strap yet. Additionally, I also eat clean and drink water – and my body looks like this! Now for the second half of the challenge, I will be adding actual weights to my strength training. I plan to start light and gradually make it hard. I know for me I have a hard time recovering after a heavy workout. So I first wanted to get my body conditioned before going crazy because there are NO DAYS OFF. Let me reiterate, 75 days.

Me and my wife were able to power through this. You've got to really be integrity with yourself. If you really think about it, when you really commit to something that's difficult and outside your comfort zone. It's about who you become as an executive coach to the founder CEOs of fast-growth companies, I'm always talking about who are you being at this moment.

And I forgot to mention this, you can't have alcohol you couldn't have in the entire 75 days wasn't a big deal for me. But it's another one of the things where that can catch you up. Yes, it's it takes a lot of courage to put up there when you're fat. But I knew that I would change externally but I also change internally which we're going to talk about. I lost about 1012 pounds by if you look at the scale, but I know I actually put on some muscle is I don't know if you can tell inside these pictures but I've my shirt stop fitting.

I had to give Some of my shorts I had to my son who's much smaller than me. And even in this shirt, I feel it feels tighter than that I really want it to be as not as comfortable because of the muscle growth that happened. Now, this is a very hard challenge to do. If you don't have the right support and accountability, my wife and I did this together. So we really support each other, it does take a lot of energy for you to think about how much water you're drinking, I keep looking at my water bottle. But it is really something that I enjoyed doing.

I started with an extreme diet, NOT EATING SWEETS, CARBOHYDRATES during the week, this radical change led me to binge eating because it generated a very bad anxiety. My perspective of this is that, when you feel free in any aspect of your life you can make any decision, without pressure, without being radical, but evaluating all scenarios. Now, my life is healthy but including all kind of foods that I have always liked and have given me peace`s mental.

I am super excited for this challenge, especially as I am now seeing this everywhere and people of all fitness levels are trying it. My biggest struggle throughout all of this will be my time management from day to day. I expect that I may have to start over multiple times but eventually I will make it through to the finish line. April is going to be a crazy month for me as I have school yet and work and Camp NaNoWriMo starts Thursday as well.

I also fully intend to continue reading 50 pages a day of fiction books. I recently reread childhood favorites such as the first Harry Potter book and Twilight. I still haven't decided on my April TBR but hopefully that will be posted soon.

The first one is the power of being intentional. But you've got to have that you've got to have it available to you got to be intentional about drinking your water. If you wake up late and you start drinking at 11 am, you're gonna have a tough time getting all the water in looks I did one morning when I did that and never did it again. So you have to be very intentional, you have to be able to plan for the next day, you have to follow that plan. You know the challenges of doing hard things. Well, today, I share with you a recent challenge I encountered.

The lessons learned by doing 75 Hard are transformational. Inside this video, you will discover the rules of 75 with some tips to make it easier for you. I also give you the wisdom I gained by completing this challenge.

I will provide you with the before and after results of losing 12+ pounds in 75 days. If you are thinking about the 75 Hard Challenge, you will get a glimpse of what to expect. During the height of the pandemic last year, I set a personal record of eating ice cream every single day from May 1st 2020 to December 27th 2020 when I started this challenge.

Who wasn't treating themselves a little extra when the world shut down, right?! I was addicted to the hard stuff (mint-chip) and had no idea how tough cutting it out was going to be. This is a mental strength program no matter how you look at it. If you complete the program correctly then you'll understand why I say this. 75 Hard isn't a challenge that you do one time and forget about. The positive tasks become a part of your life, and you're a better person because of it.

The most challenging task for me was following a diet. The reason was because it never went away. If you slip up even once you go back to the beginning. The absolute nature of the 75 Hard challenge never left me. I was constantly aware of everything I ate. At the same time, everywhere you go is temptation.

One night I was out to dinner with some friends and the restaurant messed up our order. To make up for it they gave the table 4 full deserts, including cakes, cookies, and ice cream. I had to laugh at the absurdity of it. There was so much that the rest of my party actually had leftover desert. Things like this happened on a regular basis so I got used to it.

The good news is that discipline is what allowed me to cultivate better eating habits. A crazy thing happens when you are doing 75 Hard. Great things start to happen in your life. You create an energy and aura and way of being that attracts people and things to you. So often someone would come up to me and say "Rob, there's a glow about you." That's no accident.

When you are doing a mental toughness program designed to turn you into the best version of yourself you perform at a higher level. The more you do it the more that you build momentum. It's why I kept things going and completed the entire Live Hard program. I need to clarify a very common misconception. This is a mental toughness program, not a fitness challenge.

For me, the biggest effect it had on me was breaking bad habits and introducing good ones to my life which I have stuck with since the challenge ended. Doug Sklar, a certified personal trainer and founder of PhilanthroFIT in New York City, is also wary of the program. "Exercising incorrectly—poor form, inappropriate intensity, not accounting for rest days—over an extended period of time can be harmful." After a month of routine workouts , no alcohol, and skipping refined carbs, I've lost 6 pounds, feel stronger than ever, and my sleeping patterns and mental focus have improved immensely. I've regained a love of reading – choosing it over Netflix – and my mood has been better too.

We'll see what day 75 looks like, but at this point, the challenge's benefits are well worth the sacrifice. My husband and I started on a Sunday so we could set ourselves to succeed the first day, and from there we told each other that giving up wasn't an option. "I've spent more than 20 years figuring out how to master mental toughness and I'm putting everything I've learned into a program I call 75HARD," he writes in the episode notes. When I thought of doing the entire challenge for 75 Days I wanted to quit before it started. I had the same issue with setting specific goals. It can be overwhelming so the most important lesson I've learned is to show up every day.

One moment at a time and when it feels impossible I break it down to one step at a time. ♥️ 🙌🏼Thankful for my support system who have shown nothing but love and care. Again, if you've seen my last blog where I started training for the 75 Hard challenge, this part will look really familiar.

I had to take the last few days away from fitness because of work and I just wasn't getting enough sleep. So I'm starting 9 Week Control Freak over…….again. I do plan to modify the rest days for this program to work around my menstrual week. I will do the two workouts still, but I won't be doing any intense workouts during that time. Now, there's a lot of different rules that are that have a nuance to them.
