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 Olaf *Puppy-Litter of TEN*. New name: Ollie

  • Status: Adopted!
  • Adoption Fee: $425
  • Species: Dog
  • Current Age: 7 Years 8 Months (best estimate)

Olaf was part of an oops litter of 10 puppies that was rescued from a desperate situation, when their owner fell on hard times. The puppies arrived with a huge intestinal worm infestation, as well as one of the worst flea infestations that we have seen, their poor heads and bodies crusty with scabs and flea dust. 

After many vet visits, dewormer, antibiotic, good hygiene, nutritious food and lots of TLC in their wonderful foster homes, their rough beginning is but a distant memory ;).  The puppies in the litter are now plump, happy, fluffy, healthy-looking, gorgeous, and very active little pups, who are ready for their forever homes!

Olaf is a handsome, fun, and sweet 3 month-old boy. Olaf absolutely loves toys of all sorts - his favorite are bones, squeaky toys, and playing tug-o-war with his foster brother! Olaf is getting fluffier by the day and is learning basic commands. He loves to sit for treats and go for car rides. He is great with kids, cats, and bigger dogs. He is a very curious and fearless puppy who would be a great companion for an active family!

Olaf would do best in a very active household that will provide plenty of mental and physical stimulation. Olaf will need lots of exercise, socialization, boundaries, and leadership. For that reason, we are looking for someone with some experience with German Shepherds or similar working breeds.

Olaf appears to be a German Shepherd/Husky/Lab mix. Like all German Shepherd and German Shepherd mix puppies, Olaf will need lots of training, consistency, boundaries, and lots of activity and socialization, in order to become a well-balanced, well-behaved dog.

Please review the information in the "About Us", "Important Considerations" and "Adopt" sections on our website menu, as it contains useful information about the breed, adoption fees, the adoption process and our requirements, and how meeting the dogs works.
