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.

Summit

Male 5.6 years Level 2.5

See me at the next Adoption Day!

“I'm just a lonely boy Lonely and blue I'm all alone With nothin' to do. I've got everything You could think of But all I want Is someone to love” Summit is handsome, reserved five year old male. But don’t let his demeanor fool you. Summit is an active adolescent who loves to play ball and fetch and will play for hours. He also loves to go on walks. Summit has wonderful house manners, is crate trained, housebroken, and has a great alarm bark. He gets along well with dogs of both genders, and all ages and sizes. Summit does not seem overly interested in cats or squirrels and could live with“dog savvy” cats but caution and supervision should always be exhibited. Summit is an introvert’s dream dog because he appears to be an introvert himself, one that prefers and blossoms in a calm and quiet environment. Will YOU be the one who becomes Summit’s one and only love? More

Abner

Male 2.2 years Level 2.5

“Talk about a dream dog! I LOVE this dog!” Based on Abner’s foster, she would give him an A+++ on his Report Card! "He is fully obedience trained". "Gets along with all animals he’s met". "Is the best walking/jogging partner". Abner was previously adopted but was returned due to his age and size so he is looking for another family to call his own. And although he is super sweet, gentle, laid-back, and mellow, Abner will require a dedicated, decisive, and committed owner who is willing to set boundaries and enforce them and who is willing to be fully committed to him and his on-going training and learning.
