Lila's Story

Lila - 3.5 year old GSD, 80lbs, but very thin and lanky! She is a very loyal, and loving dog. Loves to play fetch, and she herds balls like a pro soccer player. She is very much attached to her human, could easily be a 1 person dog. Very active, pretty good on a leash. Very focused and attentive like you would expect a GSD to be. She is friendly with cats (currently lives with 2 and has her whole life). With friendlier cats she does the cat head in mouth game occasionally (as play, she’s not actually trying to eat the cat). Sometimes likes to bother/chase shyer cats but in a curious way and when the cat corrects her she will back off. She could potentially live with another dog (preferably a larger male) with the right training and support, but probably would be best an only Dog. She can be a bully and will resource guard toys. She would probably do best in a home with older kids or no kids. Contact Christine at christine@therescueexpress.org for more information about Lila.

The Rescue Express's Adoption Policy

All potential foster families and adopters are required to fill out an application, both of which can be found on our website. Our foster families are our biggest resource, and the more foster families we add to our family, the more dogs we can save. Our foster families are required to provide a loving, healthy, temporary home for the dogs that we have pulled from shelters who have yet to find their forever families. The rescue covers all medical expenses while our dogs are in foster care. We also require our foster families to work with one of our trainers to address any behavioral problems that develop. This partnership with local trainers is essential to making our foster families' lives easier and raises each of our dogs' adoption potential. These trainers are dedicated to savin
