RowdyRowdy is an 11 month old, neutered male black/tan, German Shepherd Dog. He does live up to his name and needs a lot of stimulation and training. He likes toys and likes spending time with his people. He is cuddly and has some playmates, but his energy levels need to match his fur friends, otherwise he irritates some of the older fur kids. He can't be left to his own devices or ignored in the backyard. He needs a household that is used to high drive shepherds and committed to training and spending time with him. He may be a lazy couch potato around the age of 10, but for now he needs someone who can keep up with his pace. He enjoys toys and adores water. If you love intelligent, high drive German Shepherds, and think your home can keep up with him, fill out an application for Rowdy.

Help this DogWould you like to be a sponsor?
It only takes a $20 donation!
Remember, any of our dogs can have more than one sponsor!

Please fill out an Application if you are interested in adopting or would like more information about this dog. We receive a large number of emails asking if a particular home or situation is appropriate for a dog in our care. To evaluate this, we need you to fill out an application.

If you have questions about adoption fees and what the fees include, these questions will be answered in the Application information before you fill out any information about yourself. Applications will be responded to before any other inquiries.

We do thank you for considering adopting a dog through rescue and believe that by saving the life of a dog you show that you are a compassionate and caring person. Please remember that we are an all-volunteer, foster-based rescue that receives no government funding and functions on proceeds from our adoption fees and private donations. Please respect the time our volunteer's take away from their family to do rescue and fill out an application before contacting us.
