Dogs Available for Adoption from Other Rescue Groups and Indiivduals

The following German Shepherds and German Shepherd mixes are being fostered by other rescue groups or individuals in the Sacramento area. I have not seen or evaluated most of these dogs, so I can not guarantee their temperament or health. However, because rescue groups such as mine or individuals rescuing on their own are offering these dogs for adoption, I am posting these dogs as a courtesy to those rescuers. As with rescuing a dog from GSRSV, you will also have the benefit of knowing the dog's temperament from its foster caretaker.

Please contact the individual or group name listed with a particular dog for more information about that dog! If you find that a dog that is listed here is no longer available for adoption, please let me know so I can remove the listing. Contact Brian at either 916-655-3125 or bab43@msn.com

	"Millie" is an approx 7-mos old spayed female GSD who is a playful puppy with a sensitive side. Millie was named after the rural sugar mill where she was dumped as a wee pup. A Good Samaritan found her and brought her to us. She was painfully thin and had a skin condition that resulted in loss of hair and painful sores. Millie has thrived in her foster home under the care of her foster mom, a big sis border collie and two house cats. Her skin condition has been treated and she now has a gorgeous shiny black coat. She is at a normal healthy weight--about 50 lbs. Millie is up to date on all vaccines and micro-chipped. Millie is crate trained and sleeps in her crate at night. She is working on house training and basic commands. Because of Millie's attachment to her canine sister and foster mom, we are seeking a home for her with another friendly canine companion or stay at home human. Our adoption process includes: application, meet and greet, home safety check, adoption contract and fee. Please contact 4 R Friends rescue group at 4rfriends.mail@gmail.com with any questions or for an application. Posted 1-29-13
	"Aaron" is a strikingly-marked 10-month-old neutered male GSD mix who is very active and affectionate. Aaron will benefit from a home where he can get plenty of daily exercise for both his mind and body. A Basic Manners class is highly recommended to help him channel some of his energy into learning polite ways to seek attention, food, and other doggie life rewards! After Basic Manners is under his belt, Aaron may be a good candidate for doggie sports such as agility or Treibball where he can have a wonderful outlet for his playful zest and drive. Underneath all that busy movement, Aaron is a very sweet, sensitive dog who will repay the love and attention given to him a thousandfold. Aaron's adoption fee has been pre-paid for by a generous donor. He currently weighs 59 pounds. Any interested parties can come to ARF during our adoption hours (on our website: www.arf.net) or contact our Behavior Department to get more info (925-296-3159 or behave@arf.net). Posted 1-4-12
Click for larger image.	"Chloe" is an approx 1-yr old female GSD mix with a very sweet disposition but who is carrying a lot of emotional baggage. Chloe will be a long-term rehab project for the person with a big enough heart to adopt her. Chloe was found by the side of road in July mourning her canine companion who had been hit and killed by a car. She remained with her fallen companion for three days until Sacramento City Animal Control picked her up and took her to the shelter. Chloe is technically still a Sacramento City Shelter dog, but is now in a foster home. Click here for a video on Channel 13 News' Website about Chloe's devotion to her fallen companion. Chloe is first and foremost the most loyal friend you could ever have. She likes other dogs and respects the cat in her foster home. She is still very fearful of loud noises and new things, and is also terrified of small children. Chloe's ideal home would be a patient, loving person or couple with another dog and not much social activity in the home. Chloe will be a long term project and I do truly believe she will improve but doubt she will ever be comfortable in active social settings. It will probably always take her a little time to warm up to new people. Please contact Staci Saladino, Chloe's foster mom, at Staci.Saladino@gmail.com. Posted 10-3-12
	"Luna" is an approximately 9-yr old, spayed female GSD mix who is healthy, happy and very loving. She loves to play and run and go for walks. Luna is friendly with other dogs and cats as well. Luna has been an outside dog most of her life, but would happily adjust to being an indoor dog as she is already house trained. Luna is good on a leash and is always eager to please . She weighs about 50 pounds and will updated on her vaccinations upon adoption. Luna's owner is losing her house to foreclosure and can't take Luna with her. I am assisting the owner find Luna a new home. Though Luna is presently located in Ukiah, I can provide transport to a new home. Luna is very sweet and needs a secure, forever home where people will love her for her wonderful personality. Pleas contact Nan Tylicki at either 707-671-2071 or seeker@wildblue.net. Posted 1-12-12
Click for larger image.	"Sundance" is a beautiful 2-yr old spayed female GSD/wolf hybrid (very low-content wolf). Although not very socialized with humans when we took her in, she is rapidly growing to love her treats and head scratches and would love to be in a forever home--especially with other animals. (Although not cat-proven she doesn't seem to want to chase them). She loves other dogs and gets along very well with them. She came from a backyard breeding operation that was disbanded last year and is desperate for a home. Sundance is located at the Lockwood Animal Rescue Center (www.lockwoodarc.org) in the Los Padres National Forest in Ventura County. For info about Sundance, please contact: Matthew Simmons wolf@lockwoodarc.org 310-963-1182 Posted 2-10-11; updated 8-9-12
	Still available as of 8-9-12! "Titan" is a 5½-yr old (as of 8-9-12) male German Shepherd or Belgian Tervuren/Keeshond mix who is super friendly, affectionate, smart, and obedient. Furry Friends Rescue of Fremont rescued Titan from the Hayward Shelter on 7/16/07, mostly due to his aggression towards other dogs. But there was something special about Titan and so we decided to put in an extra effort to help him. He's had an extended stay with some trainers and is responding very well. People with experience handling German Shepherds would be best for Titan. The trainers are willing to continue working with whoever adopts him. He now has a bright future and will thank you every day. Titan is a large dog, weighing about 80 lbs. Please see Furry Friend's Rescue's Website at http://www.furryfriendsrescue.org/animalinfo.jsp?id=10203 for contact info and adoption application. Posted 8-21-07; updated 8-9-12
