My Rescue
Login to Remember your Favorite Animals and Breeds!

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.

About Thumper *Puppy*

  • Status: Adopted!
  • Adoption Fee: $425
  • Species: Dog
  • Current Age: 8 Years 6 Months (best estimate)

Thumper is a super cute, approx 3 month-old pup whom we rescued from a reservation in SD. Reservation dogs lead a very hard life, with no shelter, little food, and no vet care. Many of them die young due to accidents, deprivation, and/or sickness among other causes. We are so glad that we were able to help Thumper! 

Life on the Rez is very rough. Thumper came to us with a long cut on his little leg. It has since healed and Thumper is all over it, fully recovered, and enjoying the good life in his foster home :).

Thumper is cuddly and playful. He is always full of energy and instigating play with the other two puppies in his foster home. He likes to chase balls and chew on bones. And he loves to be held and petted too.


Like all puppies, Thumper will need plenty of exercise, activity, socialization, boundaries, consistency and leadership in order to become a well-balanced, well-behaved dog.
