Dogs Available for Adoption from Other Rescue Groups

The following German Shepherds and German Shepherd mixes are being fostered by other rescue groups or individuals in the Sacramento area. We have not seen or evaluated most of these dogs, so we can not guarantee their temperament or health. However, because these dogs are being offered for adoption by rescue groups such as ours, or individuals who have rescued those dogs, you will be saving a life by adopting one of these dogs. 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!

"Gypsy" is a 6-yr old spayed female GSD imported from the Czech republic. She is very special because she lost her front left leg in a car accident a few years ago. She gets along pretty good on the three legs--she can go up and down stairs, but does need help getting into the back of a SUV. I have had her on a diet since she's been here with me and she has lost 10 lbs, but she still needs to lose another 10-20 lbs. (She presently weighs about 100 lbs.)

Gypsy is a very even-tempered dog and I trust her with my other pets and kids. (She is good with my male and female dogs and my cat but she doesn't like some other female dogs.) She is heartworm negative and is current on her vaccinations.

Gypsy's owner surrendered her to his veterinarian (who I work for) after having her spayed because his failing health kept him from properly caring for her. I have been fostering Gypsy now for 6 months. She is a wonderful dog and deserves a good home. I'd keep her but I have too many pets as it is.

"Sage", a very sweet, older male GSD/Chow mix, is in need of a home! I found this nice dog near Tahoe Park in East Sacramento just before Christmas, and can't afford to keep him. Sage is great with my two year old daughter, doesn't bother the cats--even the kitten when it runs from him, and is great with my young dog. He moves very stiffly, like he has arthritis, but that may be due in part to having been out in the cold as a stray. Sage is not neutered.

Sage is great on a leash; though he's strong, he doesn't pull. He knows sit, laydown and stay. Sage has not chewed on eanything or gone to the bathroom in the house. He does scratch the doors if he want in or out and does not stop!
Sage is always thirsty and tries to sneak to the toilet bowl for a drink. He does bark at strange noises and howls at sirens.

If you'd like to give sweet, old Sage a home, please contact Elizabeth at either 916-452-4482 or ebrichter@gmail.com

"Titan" is a 1-yr old 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. After weeks in his foster home, Titan is still leash reactive when he sees new dogs, especially small dogs. He did play with other dogs at the shelter and with the dog of his foster caretaker's friend. He seemed OK but curious of cats. He needs a very experienced dog person to continue training with him and remain in control. No dog parks since he is a dominant dog and had a incident of getting into a fight (on leash) with 2 dogs (same size male dog & small dog) at the dog park. Titan is a large dog, weighing 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.

My name is Shep and I need a foster or forever home! Here is my info: " This boy is a beautiful, large (90 lb.) male, probably about 3 years old. He is THE quintessential german shepherd. He’s a very smart dog that knows sit and down. I tested him on these signals and he did them for me right away. He’d do great in obedience and advanced training. He has a very high ball drive and tried to play with the rubber squeaky burger and squeaky ball at the same time. Very cute! He would be perfect for the experienced gsd owner that wants this type of dog.

However, here’s the negative on Shep: I’m pretty sure he is dog aggressive and he would not be good in a home with small kids b/c of his strength and power. He truly needs an experienced dog owner that would appreciate his smarts and strength. No leash training and seemed like he could be quite protective of his space."

"Sundance" is a 3½ yr old female GSD/Husky mix who is as pretty as her name. She's healthy and happy, a little reserved at first but warms up. Sundance would be happiest in a loving, quiet home with another dog to play with and a doggie door for her to have access to the house at any time, as that is what she is used too. Sundance is a gentle soul--she has never shown any aggression. She's been fine with kids at adoption days, but would be best with older kids that know how to treat dogs and be gentle.
