Jefferson’s story could have ended very differently. This senior German Shepherd was found collapsed in a yard—dehydrated, malnourished, exhausted, and in desperate need of help. Thankfully, GSROC stepped in to provide the critical care he needed and the chance for a better future.

At approximately 10 years old, Jefferson is looking for a Permanent Foster home filled with patience, understanding, and love. Through GSROC’s Permanent Foster program, you provide the home and companionship, while GSROC covers all food and approved veterinary care for the rest of his life. He wants to be an only dog, please.

As he settles into rescue, we’re seeing glimpses of the dog Jefferson was always meant to be. He is learning to play with toys and especially loves chasing a hard blue herding ball around the yard. However, Jefferson still takes time to trust and can be defensive about touch, suggesting he may have experienced mistreatment in the past. What Jefferson needs most is a quiet, compassionate home where he can finally feel safe and spend his remaining years surrounded by kindness and comfort. Could you be the person to give this deserving senior the happy ending he’s waited so long for?

Adoption Donation for All Dogs and Puppies:

$495

This donation is tax-deductible as allowed by law and helps to offset the costs that we have incurred for the dog’s care and housing during his or her stay with our group. The minimum adoption donation does not entirely cover the investments that we have made in the dogs, so if you are in a position to give more, we would be honored to receive your additional donation. All adoption donations go directly toward the needs of our dogs.

All dogs adopted through GSROC are spayed or neutered, current on their vaccines and de-wormed. Because the minimum Adoption Donation rarely covers the costs associated with each dog, we ask that adopters who are in a position to give additional funds do so at their discretion.
