Default Looking to adopt

Well it's been a year since I posted on here when our GSD went missing, we exhausted all possible ways to find her...she even had her own FaceBook page for a while. I still haven't given up complete hope that we may some day find her but I am now ready to open my heart to another GSD. I have seen many puppies through breeders and I can't bring myself to pay for a puppy to support a breeder when I know there are so many who need rescued. Every animal we have ever owned have been rescued/adopted. We currently have two cats both from humane societies and two mix breed dogs rescued from craigslist and one rabbit we won at the fair (if you ask me we rescued it lol!) The two dogs we have prefer to be farm dogs, they do not like going in the car or doing anything but being on the farm. We are looking for a gsd to be a lifelong family member that will go swimming with us and camping and everything. I am 26 my husband is 31 and we have two boys ages 4 and 2. The GSD must be properly socialized good with all animals and children. We are preferably looking for a dark sable female around a year old...I realize it's very difficult to get puppies We live in Southern Indiana if you know of our perfect companion please let me know...I've seen so many but usually they are so far away I am open to recieving one from the other side of the world as long as transport could be arranged
Thank you so much for taking the time to read!

Thank you, I have been keeping my eye on petfinder but we really only want to adopt a purebred shepherd so most of these would not be what we are looking for. We do check petfinder reguarly but I know on here people find abandoned gsds or they see them on CL or there might be a gsd that I missed on petfinder because it is not local but someone could help with transport. So thank you for trying to help in our search but we aren't interested if it's not a purebred and we also are not interested in solid black or white. Sable preferred and blk/tan considered. Not trying to be picky but we do have mixes all ready and I could adopt any dog from any shelter around we are just trying to find what we really want, a baby/young purebred sable shepherd without going through a breeder because I know there's one out there that needs rescued

Although she is labelled as a GSD Mix, I think they are wrong, she looks exactly like a PB Sable GSD to me.

Every dog in that post appears to be a pure bred dog...maybe no papers - but sure look like purebreds - some needy ones too....I'd look at the poor black female who probably has had a tough life!

They all look pure bred to me.

Good luck on your search and I hope you'll keep an open mind and go meet ones close to you in person even if you aren't sure about their picture. Pictures online do not do most of these dogs justice.
