     I found Chief outside of my office in Opa-locka. He was dehydrated, hungry, and limping. I took him home with me, and it quickly became apparent that he had never seen the inside of a home or known any love at all. He learned commands in no time and followed me around like a cat. I live in a small apartment with another large dog, so I could not keep him forever. None of the no-kill shelters had space for him... Alas, within two days of listing him on Rescue Me!, I was contacted by The Peredas. Not only did they have a huge yard for Chief to call his own, they were extremely experienced with German Shepherds... He now follows Maria around the house and is taking to everyone in the household. Maria reports that the adjustment has been much easier than anybody expected. Thank you so much for the work you do! Without Rescue Me!, this story would have not had a happy ending. You helped give Chief his second chance.

     We were getting ready to move and couldn't take our dog with us. Needless to say, we wanted the best home we could find for him. After several months of no progress I decided to post him on Rescue Me's German Shepherd Rescue. The very next day I received calls from three different people. After speaking to all of them I made the decision to which home he would live in, and called the people up. The day after, they showed up and all was taken care of. Yuba has a fantastic new home and is quickly becoming family to them. The Rescue Me! site is easy, quick and reliable. I would recommend that anybody use it.

Responses came in within a few hours of adding her to your website! I'm sure it is just a matter of time before Daisy Mae will have new home. Very impressed, and grateful for your assistance in placing pets that had to find another home due to unfortunate circumstances. Your website is truly a blessing!! It has taken the stress off my shoulders and helped ease some of our pain in having to give up our beloved pet. Thank you, and God Bless you for caring so much by making available a website to help pet owners in placing or finding a pet. Truly grateful, Charles and Rosalie

     The most wonderful family was found for Rusty through Rescue Me! If I could have hand picked a family for this sweet and gentle dog, it would be the family that drove 3 hours to get him. They saw his picture and were smitten. They are the perfect home for him and I am certain he will be spoiled and loved for many, many years. I will rest easier knowing he will be loved and cared for after living for several months in the shelter. Thank you Rescue Me! and thank you to the wonderful family who adopted Rusty!

     I just wanted to thank you guys at Rescue Me! I work with a non-profit that works with traumatized children. We have had to place all types of animals from Geese to Horses... We previously placed a number of service animals. Caesar, this German Shepherd, unfortunately would have not have made the grade. We had so many responses in such a short time! We were able to sort through them and find a wonderful couple who wanted what Caesar so needed. I am amazed at the quality of families who responded and the response we had. I plan to suggest that we review the options you offer for additional horses for our therapy program. Thanks, Dr. Larry Pariseau

     Me and my wife were expecting our first child which was a surprise considering I just got my dog Max. Max is a full blooded German Shepherd. After going back and forth, me and my wife decided it would be best to find Max a Home. We didn't have the time needed to care for Max considering he is very outgoing and hyper. We posted him on several sites getting a lot of interest in him, but we still were not satisfied. Max was still family as much as it is hard to believe considering we were giving him away. I decided to try Rescue Me! German Shepherd Rescue. If I'm going to give him away, I wanted a reputable organization that is experienced with this type of breed. Then boom I received an email from a woman interested in Max. She had a farm and had four shepherds and her brother was looking for one. After talking back and forth with her I eventually received a phone call from her brother regarding Max. I did not answer at first, because it was starting to hit home that my friend would eventually be gone. I finally talked to the gentlemen and he told me his life stories with his own German Shepherds from them being puppies to eventually passing away. He told me his last German Shepherd Grizzly passed away four months ago, and didn't know if he could ever own a German Shepherd again. After hearing his stories and talking to him for a couple of days, I knew Max had a home. I will always miss my buddy but deep down inside I'm at peace with his new family and I know they love him like a human. Thank you Rescue Me! German Shepherd Rescue, I'm at peace because of you.

     We were helping a friend who is a German Shepherd breeder find a home for one of her dogs that was returned to her after three years. We had Lobo listed on a number of rescue sites, but Rescue Me! was the only site that had any responses. In fact, there were so many replies to the listing, that we were able to select from numerous potential adopters to find him the best fit. The family who is adopting Lobo will be making a donation to Rescue Me! in lieu of adoption fees. A great success story!

Layla was rescued today by a family who stated that they fell in love with her picture. We will miss her and we loved her dearly. She will bring her new family a lot of joy. The family who came and rescued her was so excited about her when they saw her they had smiles all over their faces. We are happy that she will be cared for and loved. God bless you, Mr. Gold, and your dedication to the cause.

     We are so thrilled with Rescue Me! and the success we had with a recent adoption. After searching for a puppy in the trader, we found a listing of Nadia, and after some consultation with people familiar with the seller, we quickly realized Nadia was in need of dire help. Upon arrival, we realized this was no ordinary dog, this was an emaciated, starved (40 lbs), and physically abused dog. In our county and surrounding counties, we have no Animal Control, and only two shelters, which are high kill. So we made it our mission to help her. After undergoing surgery for an embedded collar, a stable diet to gain weight, and getting spayed and vaccinated, she was a completely different dog. After searching for rescue organizations, we found Rescue Me! Once we posted Nadia's info, it was one short hour later her hero called in hopes of adopting her. Barb, a lifetime owner of German Shepherds, was very interested in this sweet girl. And we are so happy to say that last night her transportation was arranged to meet her new mommy and introduce her to her furever home. We are so thankful for Rescue Me! and for such a caring woman as Barb.

     Hunter, a 4-year old German Shepherd belonged to a woman I worked with and she contacted me to help her find a good family to adopt Hunter as she had a deteriorating situation at her home. This is the first time I have used Rescue Me! although I've helped with many rescues. I posted his story and within 3 hours I began to get messages and phone calls. The adopted family was actually found the first night of the posting and drove all the way from Georgia to Kentucky to meet Hunter. They fell in love and the rest is wonderful history. Thank you to your site - this was a wonderful ending.

She was the perfect fit for our beloved dog. I am grateful for Rescue Me! as I know we could not have found someone that loves German Shepherds as much as we do without it. Sasha's new mother has owned several, and like the rest of us knows how wonderful they are. She made a two hour drive to meet her, and like us, has a home by the woods with deer, possum and raccoon. I know Sasha will feel right at home. Thank you so much for this wonderful site.

     After talking with a few potential adopters for Cheyenne, the right ones Finally came along, they read the rescue post, emailed and called asking a lot of questions about her, her past what she eats, her temperament, and stating what her life would be like with them. We finally felt comfortable and good about a home that we believe she will be a part of forever. They were well informed on the breed and what they could and were willing to handle or not. They knew what they wanted and she was it. I am very happy to say Sweet Cheyenne has finally found her forever home where she will never be abused or abandoned again. Thank for the help Rescue Me!

     I heard about Rescue Me! from my co-worker as I was looking for a permanent loving home for Gracie. I knew Gracie may have been a bit tougher to play than other pups out there since she was primarily raised by myself (female mommy) and she was hesitant around males. But... thanks to Rescue Me!, Gracie found her new loving permanent home! She also has a new brother that doesn't challenge her (also a German Shepherd). In addition, she's getting all the spoiling and walks she could ever want with her new mommy! If it wasn't for this site, I don't think I'd be so blessed to have found the perfect loving home for Gracie! Gracie's new mommy also keeps me updated by sending me pictures and videos, which is really nice to see how happy she is now! Thank you Rescue Me!!!!! I will definitely pass this website along to others that may be looking for homes for their furbabies!

     I recently had the misfortune of losing my home. I plan to stay with relatives until I can save up for a mobile home. Unfortunately... I cannot keep my shepherd mix Pepper. I had been advertising my dog on different internet sites with no luck. People were wanting purebred shepherds and I was getting scared that I might have to take her to a shelter, something I didn't want to do. A Facebook friend told me about 'Rescue Me.' So I signed up and posted Pepper for re-homing. To my surprise it wasn't long before I received an email about a person who was interested in my dog. I was connected with a lady via 'Rescue Me' who saw the post. We emailed each other and I agreed to bring Pepper down for her to see. They already had a young male shepherd who tried hard to entice Pepper to play, but she was a little scared at first but started warming up to everyone. They liked her, and wanted to keep her so we did an overnight trial. I got an email back from the lady saying she was definitely keeping Pepper. It didn't take Pepper long to warm up to everyone, even her cat. She had this to say in her email to me: 'My 10 year old came home last night, and when she sat on the floor, Pepper plopped down on her and put her head on her chest. My daughter fell in love with her instantly.' I am glad I didn't have to put Pepper in a shelter. As much as it hurts to have to give her up, I am glad to know that she found a good home with people who love her. We friended on Facebook so I will get to see pictures of Pepper that they post and we can keep in touch. This never would have happened without Rescue Me! Thank you.

     Thank you for helping me place my Eva! We were so worried about needing to find a new home for her. She is now in a new home with new parents and has 3 kids to play ball with and smother with kisses. We have been in contact with her new family and after a short adjustment period she is a happy dog!

     To Jeff, Thank you for asking about Willow. She found a new home the same week we sent out the E-Mail, quicker than I could have imagined. A couple from Mass. came and adopted her three Sunday's ago. We keep in touch, and they say Willow is doing well. Thanks for your web site. Brad.

     I want to thank everyone for their support and interest in adopting a rescued animal. I went through our local resources trying to find a loving home for our Dee Dee and due to the overloaded public and private shelters we were unable to receive any help. Rescue Me! was Dee Dee's saving grace. We found an adoptive parent that has so much love to give her and I know our Dee Dee will give as much and then some back. Thank You Lin & Princess. God bless everyone that can open their heart for a rescued animal. Katy Sagers

     Sheba was adopted by a wonderful family that has lots of love for her. She played with their little girl, who will be her new best friend, and took to her new parents so well. When she left, she jumped in the truck and looked out the window and said to me, 'ok.. bye lady!!! I'm going home now!!' she was so happy. I will miss her, but I am grateful for the time I had with her. Thank you, Rescue Me! for everything.

     Thanks to Rescue Me!, our Sarabi found a wonderful new home. She was with us from July until January. She had been abused, was malnourished and needed a little socialization. She became a wonderful and loving girl. I was contacted by a wonderful woman in Maine who was interested in her. I had concerns about the fact that she was on the complete other side of the country. However, the home and the life she offers were the perfect fit for Sarabi. So, Ruth (adopting Mommy) found a transport from Oregon to pick her up along with other Shepherd rescues and make the days long trip to PA where Ruth's family would pick her up. It is a long trip, but what awaits her there is heaven. She'll get to be a companion at work every day. She'll get all that social time that she so badly needs. Not to mention be a integral part of a loving family that obviously has nothing but the best to give their pets. Thank you Rescue Me... Sarabi is on her way to a fantastic forever home! Transporter says she will be there shortly to her new Mommy!

     Abbi was adopted by a guy from South Carolina who has about 5 acres of farmland to run free on. The guy and Abbi got along we'll. I had a good feeling about the guy. He was super nice and had a lot of experience with shepherds. I think she will do well with her new family. So I am glad I was able to meet Andy and let Abbi go to a good home.

     I want to thank Rescue Me! for helping me find a loving, caring home for Oakley. Within a week, he was spoken for and I personally met the young lady that adopted him. She was adopting him for her mother so she would have some companionship and feel protected. Oakley was perfect for her! He was a one owner pet that could give him 110% of her attention. He was very very smart for his age and I know they are loving him and caring for him like he should be. Without Rescue Me! I don't know if I would have put him up for adoption, but they made me feel so comfortable about the decision. Again thank you Rescue Me!! I will definitely recommend your site to anyone!!

     I used Rescue Me! to post my foster girl Ms. Tot. I was contacted by a family in our area that had been looking to adopt a dog for their 8 year old daughter. We had a scheduled meeting to make sure everyone was a good fit and Ms. Tot found her forever home. This was an extremely easy process and resulted in a loving home for a wonderful girl. I will use Rescue Me! again to post future foster dogs. Thank you for providing this site as a way to find forever homes for animals.

     Thank you Rescue Me. I have been trying to rehome my dog Sophie for several months now. I have had some recent financial troubles and will be having to move and my dogs are not able to come with me. I have emailed more rescue groups than I can count and utilized Craigslist, all with no result. Everyone that responded to my Craigslist post were poorly qualified applicants. They all seemed to be people who seemed to randomly decide they wanted a dog last minute and weren't going to give my dog a lifelong home. With www.RescueMe.Org I got many quality applicants. So many in fact that it was hard to pick from them all. My Sophie is a German Shepard/Border Collie mix, so I decided on a couple who had a farm and 10 acres of land (plus a small lake). An absolute ideal home for her! She has only been adopted for 24 hours but I have already heard from her new owners and they have said she is fitting in great! Thank you for making this a success story!

     Indy was successfully adopted... I am finding Rescue Me! a valuable resource in re-homing the desperate dogs I am struggling to save from high-kill shelters... The satisfaction of seeing a dog we literally snatched right off the euthanasia table... re-homed with a loving human... brings an acute level of satisfaction like no other.
