BrightStar is a German Shepherd Dog ("GSD") Rescue, and GSDs will always be our primary focus. Sometimes, we will take in other breeds: ones that we couldn't bear to leave in a shelter to an uncertain fate, or even ones that were supposed to be GSDs, until they arrived. The majority of our foster homes are most familiar with GSDs and GSD mixes. But we have a varied and caring group of fosters who won't turn away a dog in need. If a dog is in need, if we have the foster space, and if we have the breed-knowledge needed, we will take in any breed to find them their forever home.

* These are BrightStar dogs, and the same adoption policies and process apply.*

Meet Maggie Mae. She is one of Gabby's puppies.

Maggie loves people and other dogs. She loves to play, jump, leap, and leap and would excel in agility. She adores going through tunnels.

She has a lot of energy as she is still a pup, but loves to cuddle at the end of a busy day.

Maggie always has a smile on her face.

She is spayed and up to date on her shots.

This pet is eligible for a gift of the first month of ShelterCare pet insurance paid for by BrightStar German Shepherd Dog Rescue. For more information on pet insurance please visit us online at http://www.sheltercare.com or call 1-866-375-PETS.

Willow
Available for Adoption
(Rochester Area)
(Last Update 04-23-08)
Meet Willow! She is a 5 year old, 54 pound Purebred Siberian Husky with a lot of love to give! She LOVES attention and will snuggle up to you any chance she gets! Her coat is a beautiful blend of grey, white and tan which is referred to as "wolf grey". She has beautiful brown eyes with a black nose bar. She is past the puppy stage in her life, but don't a number fool you - she is FULL of energy and benefits from daily walks.

Willow does ok with other dogs as long as they understand she is an alpha female. She lives with 3 males and they let her rule the roost! She will have to meet any other dogs in the home prior to adoption to make sure they get along. Once she establishes herself she loves to get down and play with others.

She does have a HIGH prey drive when it comes to animals outdoors. She whines and wants to chase rabbits, squirrels etc so I will say NO small animals in the house for this girl. Siberians are typically not cat friendly but I will cat test her to see how she does.

Willow is a typical Siberian Husky so she will NEED to go to a home with a fenced in yard, the higher the better. She will try to run outdoors if you don't give her a firm command to "stay back". Huskies are known to be escape artists so we are requiring her to go to someone with Husky experience.

Willow does well in her crate, and she often sneaks away for a nap in her crate during the day. She will whine and "woo" when she is excited about something but otherwise she is fairly quiet.

She is up to date on vaccinations, micro chipped and spayed.

Willow is ready for her forever home!
