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

"Luna" is an approximately 6- yr old, spayed female GSD mix who is healthy, happy and very loving. She loves to play and run and go for walks. 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.

"Maudie" is a 7- yr old German Shepherd mix who is friendly, loving, mellow, happy, healthy but slightly overweight. (She weighs 72 lbs but we have been working on that and she has been slimming down.) Maudie loves to chase her ball and will carry it around hoping that someone will throw it for her. She likes people and does not bark at strangers when they come to the door and she's very gentle around children. The only things that frightens her are loud noises like fireworks or lightning, and vacuum cleaners. She does OK in the car but needs a window down for longer rides.

Maudie has a long tan coat that is groomed short. She is spayed, vaccinated and on heart worm prevention. She is a heart worm treatment survivor and has tested clean for the last two years. She is also house trained and leash trained. She should be introduced to other pets slowly and with supervision, especially smaller animals.

Maudie's current owner does not have time for her. It's very sad because Maudie is a wonderful girl that needs to be in a home where she will get the love and attention she deserves.

"Megan" is a pretty, 2-yr old spayed female GSD who is sweet, affectionate, and energetic. She was surrendered by her owner to the Marin Humane Society when he lost his house to foreclosure. She is reactive towards other dogs through the fence, but might be OK with other dogs when outside of the shelter environment.

Shiloh is an approx 5-yr old spayed female GSD who has been able to override her previous life and remain sweet, although she may have some residual behavior that needs work. She is calm and quiet, although sometimes anxious and needy. She finds certain environments very scary. She is friendly and polite when meeting new people and once she bonds with you, she is very interactive and sweet. Shiloh showed a lot of interest in small dogs when she was taken into our play yards, although her intentions were not very clear, therefore great care should be taken when she is around little dogs. Shiloh will be a good companion on walks, so long as she remains on leash. Shiloh is very easy to fall in love with - her behavior overall is gentle and kind, and she deserves a second chance at a wonderful life. Shiloh weighs about 67 lbs.

"Iggy" is a young, spayed female GSD who is sweet, smart, and active. Iggy loves children and really wants to please. She is a very quick learner. Iggy would make a great dog for someone or a family who is active, as she loves to run.

We think a good secure fence is best to keep Iggy safe. Iggy does chase cats so it's best that she go to a home with out feline friends.

Iggy was originally found on the streets of Los Angeles. A young woman saved her and brought her home. She was unable to keep her, though, and ended up bringing her to the Nevada County shelter in Grass Valley. Sammie's Friends--a rescue group that looks after the dogs in the Nevada County shelter--had her spayed.

Iggy is current on vaccines and heart worm negative.

Please contact Sammie's Friends at either 530-471-5041 or ruth@sammiesfriends.org.

"Sundance" is a beautiful 7-8 month 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.

Hi…. My name is Lily. I'm an approximately 4-yr old spayed female Chow/Collie/GSD (?) mix. I would love to find a home where I am the center of attention… all the time! I love women the best, but some men are ok too. I am happiest playing ball with my favorite people, and hanging out, or making sure the backyard is safe for everyone by sniffing and exploring every single corner of the yard … so we can run and play more ball!! I am a very happy girl, full of wags and smiles. I have good manners, and respond well to most commands. I am ok with kids and cats, but want to be the one and only shining star of a dog in your life. I prefer it that way. Interestingly, I'm not a big fan of other dogs.... not at all.

I love car rides, and really really enjoy long walks. A good snuggle with my favorite people at the end of the day is the perfect way to end the day. I dream of that every single night…. Playing ball all day, and snuggling all night.

Please contact Cheryl Douglass @ crazy4chows@sbcglobal.net.

"Titan" is a 1½-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, 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.
