Available Dogs
Adopting a German Shepherd Dog is a serious commitment of up to 10-15 years. We're looking to find our dogs forever homes so their lives won't be disrupted again.
In general, we don't know the background or medical history of dogs we bring into our program, nor can we guarantee their temperaments, behaviors, or health. We base the information on each dog on observations made while the dog is in a foster home in our program.
Since not all homes are the same, dogs may display different behaviors after being adopted than what we've observed. Similarly, just because a dog has lived with or tested tolerant of cats or small dogs, does NOT mean it will automatically be tolerant of cats or small dogs in a new home. It may take time and supervision while the animals adjust.
All of our dogs are spayed or neutered as required of all California shelters and rescues by the California Food & Agriculture Code Section 30503. They are also current on all vaccines and microchipped.
Not all dogs will be at all adoption events. We don't reserve dogs for adoption by telehone or email. You MUST first submit an adoption application.

Danny
Male 2.3 years
Danny was found on March 16, 2022, on the side of the freeway, not wanting to walk. After being brought to the Stockton shelter and after being examined, x-rays revealed he was shot in the leg resulting in a large pellet radius and ulna fracture. He also had some wounds to left front leg. Danny had surgery in March where a plate was inserted to hold the fracture in place while it healed. He will be going to what we hope will be his final vet visit. In May, Dr. O'Brien said Danny's leg was healing well but not as fast as he had hoped. The good news is, Dr. O'Brien feels this brave boy is definitely on a strong road to full recovery. We believe Danny is around two years old. And despite his injuries, this handsome fella appears easy to handle, friendly, affectionate, and is treat motivated. He is currently being fostered in a home surrounded by a myriad of "siblings" including a peacock, peahens, other dogs, a pig, chickens, and horses. More

Maggie
Female 6 months
Maggie was one of three dogs Golden State German Shepherd Rescue pulled from the Kerman Animal Shelter. Found as a stray, her owners never came to look for her so at five months of age, Maggie found herself on the adoption waiting list. Maggie is very affectionate and eager to please. She is learning to walk nicely on a leash and is learning to "sit".. She is also learning house manners, crate training, and appears to be housebroken. Her fosters also want to start working on more obedience training and will be enrolling her in a structured obedience class. Maggie enjoys her foster brother's company (in a punky sister sort of way) so she may benefit greatly living with another dog, an older but playful dog to show her the ropes. Maggie would also do best with a patient, committed owner who will continue to work with her More
