2. Nova
Nova is a 7-month-old bundle of puppy joy who's back with us and ready to find her forever home. She was adopted three months ago and recently returned through no fault of her own. Her loss is your gain, because this girl is a delight!
This little girl has LOADS of puppy energy and plays relentlessly with her German Shepherd foster brother. She's very much a puppy in every sense of the word, so she's looking for a home that's ready to match her enthusiasm with daily, appropriate exercise, playtime, and ongoing training and socialization.
Read more about Nova
Nova is "extra". She hollers. She’s loud. And she will tell you all about it, in great detail, with full commentary.
We love her for it and we love her opinions.
Even with all that energy, Nova shows manners around her elderly canine foster brother. She respects his space and lets him enjoy his quiet time.
Because we make every effort to set our puppies and their new families up for success, Nova's adopter will be required to complete an NOGSR-approved training course.
If you have the time, energy, and heart for a playful pup who will grow into a wonderful companion, we'd love to hear from you. She will be available for adoption after she is been spayed later this week. Apply at nogsr.org.

3. Duchess
Here's Duchess — Found eating trash in the street, she'd landed in a small, hot, rural shelter. Now, thanks to some amazing volunteers, she is safely with our rescue. She is a young (between 1 and 2 years old) petite, 50-lb sweetheart looking for her forever family!
Don't let her smaller size fool you, she's got a big heart. Duchess is affectionate, snuggly, and just wants to be near her people (or curled up in your lap, if you'll let her). She's an absolute doll — her foster put it best: "She is a catch!"
A few things that make her extra special:
Loves other dogs — she settled right in with her GSD foster sister showing her the ropes

House trained and crate trained
Still working up her courage around squeaky toys unless she's the instigator (they're just a little alarming — give her time!)
Spayed and up to date on all vaccines
She is heartworm positive and has already started her treatment, fully covered by NOGSR and a generous benefactor, so cost will not be a barrier to giving her a home
Duchess deserves a forever home of her own. Could that be with you?

4. Paxton
Meet Paxton, a handsome 4-year-old German Shepherd looking for his forever family!
A little about him: Paxton is lovely and affectionate, and very chill in the house. He is incredibly smart and is able to play nicely on his own. He is extremely sweet and affectionate with his people. Per his foster, he has been an absolute joy to have around. He was even a very good boy at the vet when he went for his vaccines. He is very smart and has already learned "sit", "down", "leave it", and is working on more.
Read more about Paxton
Paxton is heartworm positive and has already started treatment. With proper care and treatment (handled by the rescue), he is expected to make a full recovery and go on to live a long, healthy life.
We are still learning how he feels about other dogs. Like many German Shepherds, he can be reactive to dogs while on leash, but has not shown reactivity to anything else at this time. An adopter with some experience and patience around leash reactivity and a willingness to work with him on this, would be a great fit for him because he is an amazing boy.
Paxton is up to date on vaccines and is neutered.

5. Breezy
Meet Breezy! This two-year-old German Shepherd is an absolute sweetheart — affectionate, gentle, and loves meeting new people and soaking up all the attention. He's settled beautifully with his foster family's resident German Shepherds so would most likely enjoy being in a home with other friendly and playful dogs.
Breezy is calm and easygoing at home, incredibly intelligent, and a joy to train. He is on medication to help with separation anxiety— his adopter would simply continue that protocol. As of now, separation anxiety is no longer an issue for him!

Breezy is heartworm positive. He is currently undergoing treatment and handling it like a champ!
If you're after a loyal, loving, playful, and highly trainable companion, Breezy might be your perfect match!

6. Baby Girl
Baby Girl is a 1 year old, 60-pound German Shepherd settling into foster life and starting to show her true colors including a goofy, silly side we're loving more every day. She's a classic loyal shepherd who loves being near her people, and her foster mom is gently helping her build confidence and independence along the way.
She has been spending time with other dogs on a weekly basis and is great with them! She appears to be good or fairly neutral toward other dogs on walks and is showing calm curiosity toward cats.
Baby Girl is current on vaccines, spayed, and heartworm negative,

UPDATE: Baby Girl and her foster are working on her socialization/interactions with dogs and people once a week with a local, certified, positive reinforcement trainer. She is doing an amazing job and her tail wags now! It is a beautiful thing to watch. Because of this, we think Baby Girl would do well in a home with other calm and confident dogs who can help her come out of her shell.

Adopting a dog in Galliano
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
