German Shepherd Rescue of Central Florida

Bridget was found as a stray in South Carolina. She was nursed back to health and treated for heartworm disease, therefore she is now heartworm negative.

We do not know how she lost her leg, but you can tell by looking at her face this 5-year-old has had a rough life before coming to Florida. Despite all that Bridget has been through she is a happy, loving and friendly girl. She gets along with my two male dogs, my foster female dogs and the cats. She is active and loves swimming in the pond! She is great in the house does not chew and is house trained. If you are looking for a wonderful mature companion please call 407-774-5370 or e-mail jan@fivemacs.com. Bridget is in a foster home in Longwood, FL

Introducing Comet Ivory's Puppy

Ivory, a biscuit colored German Shepherd Dog, was dumped emaciated and pregnant in the drop pen at Clay County Animal Control on September 25, 2009. She was shy and very sweet. Her ears have been chewed on repeatedly by flies. The personnel at Clay were determined to find this sweet girl rescue.

Ivory safely delivered 13 puppies between Monday, October 19th and Tuesday, October 20th. Mom and puppies are resting comfortably. We are supplementing the puppies due to the poor physical condition of Ivory.

Donations towards the vet care and food for Ivory and the Ebonies would be greatly appreciated.

Thursday, Oct. 22nd - Ivory and the Ebonies saw the vet for a checkup and so the puppies could have their rear dewclaws removed. The vet declared the puppies healthy and thriving right now. Ivory is emaciated, had worms and the great news is she is heartworm negative. We've wormed her, which is safe to do while she is nursing, we are providing her with the highest quality food, and supplementing the puppies with a formula recommended by the vet to give Ivory a boost from caring for her babies. Ivory seldom leaves the puppies, only to urinate and defecate and then right back to them. She is a fabulous mother.

Comet, a female, is the last puppies in the group of 13 looking for their forever homes. She is paper trained, going outside now through the doggy door to take care of business very social, outgoing, playful and friendly. We believe her father is a purebred black Lab. Please contact her foster Mom for more information at 352-347-5090 or Email at WeLuvGSDs@gsrfl.org. Comet is in foster care at Dancing Dog Farm in Belleview, FL.

Elsa is a wonderful 8 year old senior girl who was turned in to our rescue group due to the death of her owner. Do not let her years fool you. Elsa is an active, vital dog that loves large and small dogs. She loves to play and would love to have a kitty for lunch, therefore NO KITTIES around this great dog. She must have a fenced yard as she is active. She was very much loved and well taken care of and is looking for a new person to love. She loves children and wants to please!! She has had some obedience training and is fantastic in the house. Elsa loves to ride in the car and wants to be with her person as much as possible. She does well with both men and women, but really would like a woman to be her primary caretaker. She tends to gravitate to the women in her foster home and would be happier having a woman to love. Again, don't let Elsa's age fool you! She is active and playful and loves to go. Elsa is definitely a keeper! Contact her foster Mom for more information 352-753-9678 or Email at Starbabyfl@aol.com. Elsa is in foster care in Lady Lake, FL

Maggie Mae is about 15-months-old and a dog that does not trust many people as her breeder kept her separate from people and other animals the first six months of her life. The gorgeous dogs needs a German Shepherd Dog savy person and someone committed to socializing her in every situation. Maggie Mae is worth the work. She has an extremely stable temperment and is simply drop dead gorgeous. She will do best with a woman and we are hoping her adopter is female. I do not think Maggie should be around young children. Maggie is starting to play with a younger puppy in our rescue. You can learn more about her by contacting her foster Mom at 352-347-5090 or Emailing WeLuvGSDs@gsrfl.com.

Leia and Obie One came to rescue together from Polk County where they were seized in a cruelty case. Both dogs were being used at “working guard dogs”. For this reason we will not place either dog in a home with small children. Both of these dogs are dominant and they are bonded as they worked together. THEY WILL NEVER BE USED AS GUARD DOGS AGAIN. THEIR FUTURE IS ONE OF BEING BELOVED COMPANION ANIMALS. They are both four-years-old and Leia is heartworm positive. She is undergoing treatment with Dr. Karen Taylor-Sorenson. There is also a very gentle, sweet side to these two dogs. They love to be petted and cuddled. We believe Obie One is the brother of King, who was seized over six months ago from the same kennel. Don’t let that gorgeous white blaze on Obie’s chest fool you, this bi-color boy is all German Shepherd Dog with all the best character of the breed. Neither Obie or Leia go looking for trouble, yet will respond appropriately should trouble appear. These great dogs require an experienced German Shepherd Dog owner. They are living at Dancing Dog Farm, Belleview, FL. You can learn more about them by contacting their foster Mom at 352-347-5090 or Emailing WeLuvGSDs@gsrfl.com.

Mad Max is a young dog that is goofy as the day is long. Right now we are working through his separation anxiety. He is doing well. Also, Mad Max came to us heartworm positive.

Sampson is a six-year-old large German Shepherd Dog that is gorgeous to us. He is dominant and generally gets on well with everyone except Baron. We keep the two of them separated. He L-O-V-E-S to play with balls when he is in the yard. He follows his foster Mom when he is in the house. Sampson thinks his foster Mom’s bed was made just for him, except when you put Hutch, Sampson, Mad Max and Clifford on the bed the Mom gets less than two inches in which to sleep. Like most of the new arrivals Sampson needs to gain some weight. We are working on it along with his social skills. He is living at Dancing Dog Farm, Belleview, FL. You can learn more about him by contacting her foster Mom at 352-347-5090 or Emailing WeLuvGSDs@gsrfl.com.

Gretchen is a 4 or 5-year-old female German Shepherd Dog. She is friendly and outgoing and can on bit a little bossy at times with the other girls in rescue. Most of the time she is happiest snuggled in a chair sleeping in the living room when inside the house. Outside she runs and plays with the other dogs. Gretchen is a fabulous watch dog when she bonds with her family. She definitely is a NO-NO with kitties as she believes them to be dessert.
