We are thrilled to share that Echo is in Permanent Foster Status! What does this mean? Echo will live with her foster as long as she lives, and ASR will continue to pay for all veterinary expenses and any other needs. Dogs normally adapt well to new situations - and that is what makes them so special :-) but not having to move a senior dog (after all, Echo is almost 12 years of age) is really nice.  

Her foster had recently lost her own dog, whom she really grieves, so caring for Echo helps fill the void from her recent loss.

Update 3/11/2025: We are saddened to share that Echo's adopter passed away. After many years of love and loyalty Echo was alone - but ASR makes a lifetime commitment to our dogs.

At 11-12 years of age, finding a place for a senior dog is not easy, but luckily an amazing foster opened her home to Echo to help her through the loss of her devoted adopter.

At Echo's age, it would be so hard on her to have her begin to relax in her foster home only to be uprooted again when we find an adopter, and in the most amazing stroke of fortune, Echo's foster volunteered to take care of her, with ASR's assistance, as long as she lives :-)

We call these situations "Fospice", or Permanent Foster, and while Echo currently has no issues but age related arthritis ( although that doesn't stop her from chasing the squirrels and rabbits that wander in her yard!), we know that special care is needed for dogs as they age, so ASR will continue to be responsible for her vetting for the rest of her life, while she enjoys the best possible life with her loving foster.

From her earlier adoption:

Say Hi to Jocie! Jocie and her sister, Jade and their Mom found themselves in a scary shelter.  They are now safely in a foster home, eating well, playing with each other, and working on finding that "just perfect" forever home. :) Jocie is a pretty little baby!  A typical cute, chubby, curious and active little girl. She is the more curious of the two pups; and will approach you with a happy wag of her tail ready to play.  

Please do your research when considering adopting a puppy. Successfully raising a puppy is not for the faint of heart - it is a considerable amount of work that requires lots of love and more patience than you ever thought you would ever need, and it takes time! Puppies are cute, have razor sharp teeth and chew on everything; and just like a human baby, they require a commitment that must last a lifetime!

When applying to adopt one of our puppies, please also remember this:  Up to the age of 8 months puppies cannot be left alone for a standard work day.   Arrangements will have to be in place for 4-5 hour intervals until the pups are at least 8 months old. Having someone with them every 4-5 hours until they are older greatly facilitates the housetraining process.

Please contact us for more information.

If you are not yet approved to adopt from All Shepherd Rescue, please fill out our  online application  at www.allshepherdrescue.com. Our adoption fee is $350.00.
