Lacey
I am a 2 year old, 55 pound, female German Shepherd. I am super sweet, obedient, eager to please, and want your approval. I get along well with both male and female German Shepherds in my foster home and I love to play with them! I have lots of energy when you want me to, but I am calm in the house when you want me to be calm. I live in the house when my foster parents are at home and since I am just getting out of my puppy stage, as long as I can chew on Nylabones I won’t chew on anything else. My beginning dog obedience class has taught me how to sit, down, wait (so I won’t bolt out the door), come when called, walk nicely on leash, and get along with strange dogs without overly reacting. I am spayed, vaccinated, micro-chipped, and heart worm negative.

Chester is a 6-7 month old male GSD mix puppy weighing 40 lbs. He was found wandering in rural Yolo County, and his family never came for him.
Chester is a sweet, soft boy who craves affection. When I went to get him from his kennel today, he wagged his tail but looked a little uncertain (we hadn't met yet). I gave him some treats and leashed him without trouble, and we walked together to an outdoor yard with no pulling on-leash.
Outside, Chester padded over to a volunteer and flopped down next to her, rolling over for belly rubs. His poor skin is so scabby and sore, you have to be careful where you pet him! Chester really wanted cuddles, and was sweet and smiley with both of us. He was a little spooked by the tarp flapping in the wind, and looked up and crouched a little, but recovered quickly.
