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 * PENDING* Colt (nka Murphy)

  • Status: Adopted!
  • Adoption Fee: $395
  • Species: Dog
  • Current Age: 9 Months (best estimate)

Colt is an adorable 5 month-old Blue Heeler, and a mellow boy as far as puppies go. He can seem a little more reserved when he first greets you, but he really just wants some one-on-one cuddles, and just melts into your arms when held. Colt is pretty content to lay down and chew on a toy with an occasional light wrestling session thrown in. He is still working on adult skills like walking on leash and potty training since he is just a baby. He gets along with everyone including other animals but is still a puppy so he may need some minor guidance to mind his manners.He is a wonderful puppy with a great personality!

The adoption fee for Colt is $395, all of which goes back into offseting our high-cost vetting expenses and rescuing more dogs.  We are a 100% volunteer-run rescue group and rely on adoption fees and donations to continue saving lives. Adoption fees include spay/neuter, current on age-appropriate vaccinations, fecal, deworming, flea/tick and heartworm preventative, heartworm tested if old enough (and treated if positive), and microchipped. 

Please visit http://heartlandgsrescue.rescuegroups.org/info/adoption for more information about our adoption process and requirements, and to apply. Like all Cattle Dogs, Border Collies, GSDs, and other herding breeds and mixes, Colt will need positive reinforcement training, consistency, boundaries, activity and socialization. Colt's ideal homes will bea households with good routine and prior Australian Cattle Dog (or similar herding breed) experience. Like any of our dogs, sweet Colt will make a great addition to an active home that will provide the love, structure, activity and mental stimulation that his breed requires. 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 provide sufficient stimulation, ward off boredom, and work on leash skills and manners.
