Adopter Profile

GSD Rescue Indy is seeking adopters who have owned the breed and understand the unique qualities the breed possesses. Experience with their protective nature, herding, and prey drive is paramount to a successful adoption.

The rescue provides adopters with as much temperament information as possible, however it is the adopter's responsibility to put forth effort to ensure a positive and safe experience.

Commitment is a must. All of the rescued shepherds had been abandoned, abused, neglected, or discarded. It is the primary goal of the rescue to ensure with its greatest ability, that it will never happen again.  

To see the adoptable dogs, please visit the rescue's Facebook page or Threads app for the most current shepherds.
