Available Dogs

Adopting a German Shepherd Dog can be a commitment of over 10 years. These dogs deserve forever homes so their lives will never be disrupted again. We are looking for adopters who share this philosphy.

We may not know the background or medical history of dogs we bring into our program, nor can we guarantee their temperaments, behaviors, or health. We do carefully observe and assess each dog while they are 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 animal adjusts.

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.
