Dogs Available through Owner Placement

Sometimes unforeseen circumstances force German Shepherd owners to seek a new home for their dog(s). This page serves to link such individuals with potential new owners--and to help prevent the tragedy of owners surrendering their pets to a shelter.

GSRSV is not involved in the adoption process of dogs listed on this page. Individuals interested in adopting a dog listed below should contact the owner directly at the phone number or e-mail listed. Because GSRSV is unable to observe and evaluate the dogs listed here, I cannot take responsibility for their temperament or health.

If you are an owner interested in listing your German Shepherd Dog(s) here, please see How to Place a Dog Through GSRSV.

"Griffin" is a high-drive, playful, affectionate 2-yr old (in June) male GSD. Griffin's current owner purchased him as a 4-mos old pup from a breeder in Northern Calif. He is good with older kids and other dogs. He is friendly towards strangers, but appropriately defensive on his own turf. Griffin obeys several commands, but is somewhat hard-headed. He gets excited around other people and wants to jump up on them, but is almost broken of the habit. He had to have a toe on one of his front feet amputated when he was still less than 1 yr old. It hardly affects his mobility, but he does start limping on the foot w/ the missing toe if he exercises too hard or too long on a rough surface. Griffin weighs about 80 lbs.

Griffin's owner recently retired to care for her infant grandson. Though Griffin has never hurt the baby, his owner can't get Griffin to stop obsessing on him and it has become a family issue. Therefore, Griffin's owner is seeking a new home for him--one with people who are experienced with GSDs and who can provide Griffin with appropriate leadership as well as affection.

Griffin is located in Scotts Valley, near Santa Cruz. Please contact Janice Laurent at either 831 438 3864 or j1laurent@sbcglobal.net.
