German Shepherd dogs, as well as the other herding breeds that we have in rescue, are highly active, energetic, working breeds. They require considerable vetting, exercise, socialization, training, leadership and mental stimuli in order to be well-adjusted, well-balanced, and well-mannered dogs. Even if you exercise and play with your dog daily in your fenced yard, you MUST still take your dog out on daily walks and outings in order to work on his/her leash skills, manners, and social skills.These breeds make great additions to active families who will pamper them, but who will also work with them, as they are smart dogs who need leadership, structure, plenty of activity and mental stimulation.
If you are new to German Shepherds (and other herding breeds), please research the breed to make sure this is the dog for you. We ask that you consider the time and financial commitment that your German Shepherd (or other herding breed) dog will require before applying for one. Please review the section on our website (www.heartlandgsrescue.org) "Is a HUGS Dog Right for You?" for additional information.

Current Age: 8 Years 6 Months (best estimate)
Gypsy is a gorgeous young girl who found herself in need of rescue, due to her owner's declining health. Gypsy is approximately 1 y.o. and is a typical youngster, full of energy and playfulness.
Gypsy is a beautiful, happy, affectionate girl. She loves to play with the other dog in her foster home. In fact, they like to play chase and tug-of-war with toys all day until they are exhausted! Gypsy does well on walks, and seems to do great with the kids that she meets when out and about.
Gypsy knows sit and down well, and is very smart, and food-motivated. She is crated during the day, and does well in her crate, and sleeps on a dog bed at night, next to the other household dog.
Gypsy is a wonderful girl who will be the delight of an active, GSD-loving owner. Like all German Shepherd youngsters, she will need training, consistency, boundaries, and lots of activity and socialization, in order to become a well-balanced, well-behaved dog.
Reminder: Even if you exercise and play with your dog daily in your fenced yard, please remember that, you MUST still take your dog out on daily walks and outings, in order to work on his/her leash skills, manners, and social skills.
