Valor's Story

Meet Valor — The Loyal Partner You’ve Been Searching For<br/><br/>There’s something special about Valor.<br/><br/>With his rare blue coat shimmering in the sun and his sharp, intelligent eyes, this 3-year-old AKC-registered German Shepherd turns heads wherever he goes. But beyond his looks, Valor embodies everything a true working line shepherd should be loyal, driven, and deeply bonded to his people.<br/><br/>Bred by Schumacher’s German Shepherds in Minnesota, Valor carries an impressive working lineage. He’s had a strong foundation from the start: completing a 4-week board-and-train program and continuing his structured training at home. He’s E-collar trained, muzzle conditioned, housebroken, and crate-trained thriving on routine and direction.<br/><br/>When Valor is in his element, you’ll see the sparkle that makes him unforgettable. He loves off-leash park runs, playing frisbee or fetch, and showing off by carrying the biggest branches he can find. He’ll leap into the water without hesitation and can spend hours exploring the outdoors with his person. His recall is excellent, and his drive to please makes training a rewarding experience.<br/><br/>Valor rides like a pro on long road trips quiet, steady, and content to watch the world go by. At home, he settles well in his crate and is used to a raw diet that keeps his coat glossy and his body lean.<br/><br/>Like many working-line shepherds, Valor does best with experienced handlers who understand structure and purpose. He’s not a casual pet his energy and prey drive mean he’s happiest in a home without small children or other animals. Around other dogs, he’s neutral on walks but prefers his own space, especially with males.<br/><br/>Valor’s Perfect Match:<br/> • Confident, experienced handler familiar with GSDs or working dogs<br/> • No other pets or young kids<br/> • A home with structure, time, and space to let him work, play, and rest<br/> • Someone who wants a loyal partner, not just a pet<br/><br/>Valor is more than trained he’s ready to share life with someone who sees his potential. He’s the kind of dog that makes you laugh every day, challenges you to grow, and gives back with fierce, unwavering devotion.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a dog who will meet your energy, match your loyalty, and walk beside you through every adventure Valor is ready.<br/><br/>AKC papers, training records, and breeder information available upon request.

The Red Dog Rescue's Adoption Policy
We have an extensive adoption application for each dog. Each application must be filled out entirely. We reserve the right to decline your interest in an adoptable dog at any point. We place each dog in a home where the adopter is already living the lifestyle the dog needs. We do a 1 on 1 meet and greet first. Next we do an in adopters home meet and greet to evaluate how the dog will do in their potential home, and routine. We ensure they have appropriate space etc. We then have adoptions pending on sleepover or trial period going well with the adopter to ensure its a good fit and nobody is rushed or pressured.
