Akasha  2.5 Year Old Female
Akasha is a German Shepherd/Husky mix that will have you falling in love with her. She’s home protective and alerts you when someone is coming to your home, but warms up quickly to familiar faces. Akasha is dog and cat friendly as she’s lived with 3 other dogs and 2 cats for the past few years. She’s also passed basic obedience training but could use some more leash work and socializing. Akasha is good with older kids, but probably not any young children. Especially very high energy and unruly children that don’t listen well. Ideally, Akasha would be perfect for someone that has experience with rescues and her breed type. Once she trusts you she will love you forever.

West  3 Year Old Male
Meet West. The sweetest boy. He was found running loose in the country and is looking for his forever people to love. A little more about what we know about him. He LOVES people. He has a happy and sound disposition. He is working on his training and is very responsive and wants to please. He is active but not destructive. He has never seemed aggressive or out of control. He loves to go on walks and is doing well learning to be on leash. He does not seem bothered or reactive to other dogs. Even the neighbor dogs barking at the fence does not trigger any reaction at all. He loves treats and has the softest mouth. Even for bacon! ;) He is approximately 3 years old. He has been neutered and vaccinated. We do not know how he is with cats. His ideal home is a family or someone with time to give him. And a good sized yard. We think he would make friends with another dog, with proper introduction of course. We know he will be a happy addition to someone's life and are praying for that to happen soon--- so if you have room in your heart and home, please call.

Girl  9 Month Old Female
Hello my name is Girl, I’m a shepherd mix and about 7-10 months old. I like being outside and following you around no matter where you go. I’m super friendly with other dogs and I’m curious about cats. I’ve enjoyed hanging around kids and cows and chickens and could make a great addition to your family.

Riley  5 Year Old Male
"Riley" is an approx 5-yo neutered male GSD who is confident, playful, and trainable. Riley is healthy, up-to-date on core vaccinations, and micro chipped. Riley is affectionate and bonds quickly with his people. He is a little hand-shy initially, but that goes away once trust is established. Riley is fairly protective of his people, especially when on leash. He is OK meeting strangers with a proper introduction and no surprise moves. His neck and hind quarters are very sensitive, and he has snapped at at least one person who has reached out to pet him on his neck. This is likely due to some rough treatment previously in which Riley was probably grabbed by his collar. However, Riley has no problem allowing a leash to be attached to his collar. Riley has not been around any children since we rescued him in early August. He would likely be OK with kids older than twelve years. Due to his sensitivity around his neck and hindquarters, we do not recommend that Riley go to a home with younger kids. Riley is very good with other dogs. He’s pretty mellow and stays mostly to himself. He presently lives with a young male Pitbull/Boxer mix and a female Rottweiler, and does well with both dogs. He might be OK with small dogs, too, as he shows no particular interest in small dogs he sees on walks. Riley is likely NOT good with cats, as he has shown some level of prey drive when seeing cats while on walks. Riley is housetrained, but has yet to be left outside of a crate when both of his foster caretakers (Lea & Dustin) are gone. This is to play it safe with the presence of their other dogs in their house. Also, Riley might counter-surf if food is left within reach. Riley is also crated at night. Riley is a quick learner and is very food-motivated, which make training much easier. He walks great on a loose leash and is non-reactive to other dogs he sees on walks. Riley enjoys going for car rides and loads right up with no encouragement needed. He is a calm passenger. Riley loves to play fetch with balls and to play with stuffed toys. His foster caretakers have yet to bring him to any water bodies, but they bathed him and he didn’t mind the water at all. We prefer that Riley’s adopter(s) be experienced w/ dogs who have suffered from some level of abuse due to his sensitivity to being handled around his neck and hind quarters. Riley will benefit from continued training and exposure to new environments. GSRSV rescued Riley from the Sacramento City (“Front Street”) Shelter on August 12. Riley’s current foster caretaker Lea had found Riley roaming the streets of Sacramento on July 30 while on her way to the Sacramento Intl Airport to fly out for a business trip. Because she was unable to hold on to Riley, she had to bring him to the shelter.

Stormie  9 Month Old Female
Name: “Stormie” Age:9-10 months old Gender: Female Weight: 45 lbs Breed: German Shepherd Dog: Yes Cat: n/a Kids: Yes Housebroken: Work in progress Ok in kennel: Ok with door open Ok on leash: Yes Barker: No Separation anxiety: A little Behavioral issues (food aggression, leash reactivity, etc): No Location of foster: Stockton Rescue story (if you know): Meet Stormie! This sweet 9-month-old German Shepherd pup’s life has already taken a difficult turn. Her original owner could no longer care for her, and she suddenly found herself without the family she thought she had. Now, she’s safe in foster care, but what she really needs is a forever home where she won’t ever have to wonder if she belongs again. She’s young, full of potential, and simply waiting for someone to give her the stability, training, and love she deserves. It’s heartbreaking to see such a beautiful soul in need of rehoming at such a young age — but we know her second chapter can be her best one yet. Could you be the person to give Stormie the home and love she’s been searching for?

Katana  3 Year Old Female
Katana is an energetic 3 year old girl. She is spayed and healthy. She is highly motivated by food and wants to be close to you and snuggle. She is great with kids and loves being around medium and large size playful dogs. She does not realize how big she is and can be a little clumsy and knock into people and household items. Therefore, she is probably better suited in a home without very small children. She absolutely cannot be around small dogs, cats, or small animals as she has a high prey drive. She is kennel and potty trained and walks well on a leash, but needs work on her recall. She needs a home that can work on her training and can spend time keeping her busy. She is a lovely dog who would thrive in the right environment.

Ralfie  3 Year old Male
Over all Ralfie is a good dog, Ralfie is 3 years old German Shepherd Pitbull mix. He is a loving and loyal companion with a timid yet protective nature. He is a vigilant guardian of the house, always alert to the sound of the doorbell or a knock. Despite his cautious demeanor, he is friendly and get excited to meet new people and most dogs. Potty-trained and obedient, he listens to commands well, though he has a hint of separation anxiety and some suspected allergies. He shines on walks and bike rides, enjoying the activity while keeping to himself. A wonderful mix of affection and independence and lots of energy, he is the perfect balance of love and loyalty. We are hoping we can find him a forever home.

Sasha  1 Year Old Female
Sasha is very intelligent, sweet and friendly. She may be good with other dogs as she has been living with a pit bull puppy for the last 6 months. She has been raised around kids but is a bit overbearing though because she gets so excited. She is high energy and loves to play fetch, she has learned the basic commands, sit, down, off and stay but doesn’t always follow them. She is very eager to learn and please. She is not leash trained. Sasha really just needs more attention and training than we can give her at this point in time. She would benefit from a large yard where she has plenty of space to run and someone who has time to give her plenty of love and attention. We are sad to see her go but feel we cannot offer her what she needs and deserves. We know she will thrive and reach her full potential in the right setting. She is current on all shots and heart worm preventatives.

Lili  14 Month Old Female
Lili is about 14 months old. She was found abandoned at a park. After trying to find if anyone owned her and being unsuccessful, my husband and I took her into our home. We would love to keep her, unfortunately she and our other female dog do not get along. However, Lili does get along with our male dog (a Husky, about two years old). We have taken her to dog parks and to the lake and she does get along with other dogs there. She has been spayed and is up to date on all her vaccines. She is a velcro dog and absolutely loves people. Lili would be happiest in a home where she can spend as much time as possible with her humans. She does have a lot of energy but she is also very eager to please. . She is so sweet and happy-go-lucky. Lili will need to go to a home where she can get lots of love. She is so friendly but she is very sensitive and needs someone who can be gentle with her. Please feel free to reach out if you want any more information or would like a video. We love her so much.

Luna  6 Year Old Female
Luna is a stunning 85-pound black German Shepherd with the sweetest, most soulful brown eyes you’ve ever seen. She’s a total cuddlebug at heart and absolutely adores running zoomies around the house like it’s her personal racetrack. Born/raised during the Covid pandemic isolation, Luna grew up in a quiet, cozy bubble; so she’s a little shy at first with new people and pups. But once she warms up, she’s the most loyal and loving companion you could ask for. Her favorite snack? Crispy salmon skin! (Seriously, it’s her love language.) Luna’s ideal day includes cuddles, peace and quiet, and zero door knocks. She’s not a fan of rowdy/other dogs or busy places but give her a comfy spot next to her humans and she’s in heaven. She’s sensitive, silly, and totally one-of-a-kind puppy.

Bubba  2 Year Old Male
Bub is a great dog; he is athletic, intelligent, and loving. This is a boy whowould love to go on adventures with you! He is crate-trained, good in the house (needs some manners training still, but is mostly respectful), and knows basic sit, here, and down commands. He is very gentle when receiving his treats. I have had many surgeries in the last year and cannot provide the training, activity, or attention he needs. He is excitable with small dogs and cats. I would recommend that he not go into a home that has smaller companions. He is great with people and other larger dogs. Loves to ride in the car, and is very good about sitting and enjoying the ride! We do love him, but my youngest is at university, and with my health, I cannot give him what he deserves. Please consider including this sweet boy as part of your pack. Thank you

Olive  3 Year Old Female
Olive is 3 year old (DOB 6/2/2022) Doberman mix. With 8 littermates were rescued at 8 weeks old by a non profit organization. After one year they decided to not provide any further financial assistance for any puppies that were not adopted and voted in a board meeting for them to be euthanized. They warm up quickly and are super friendly to everyone they meet. Love to be out running and exploring, knows their name and has excellent recall except when the squirrels are out. Currently reside with other dogs and with proper introductions have done well with all. They do have medium prey drive, a home without small animals may be best. They are potty trained, crate trained, rides well crated in car, spayed, up-to-date on vaccinations and are well-mannered at the vet's office. Prefers to be with their person or dog friends. They need a dedicated handler to ensure they have the structure and training needed for continued success. Motivated most by food/praise and requires moderate correction to redirect unwanted behaviors. Fine around kids of all ages, incredibly easy to train, and a joy to be around. An ideal home is with a moderately active family - someone who wants to include them in adventures and continue her training and is a wonderful, sweet companion. They truly want a family to call their own - is that you?

Koko  1.5 Year Old Female
Koko is a loving, loyal dog who is very friendly and has a lot of energy. She loves to meet new people but will need a slow introduction with other dogs. Although she is very submissive she tends to be vocal in new situations. She knows some basic commands such as sit, lay down and paw/shake. Depending on the type of treat offered she will respond to heel, touch, roll over and speak. She grew up with an older female shitzu (occasionally visits) and although there is a big difference in size, she is always submissive and looks to the shitzu as a mother figure. She would do best in a home with enough space to run off her energy and preferrably with other dogs to keep her company.

Chica  4.5 Year Old Female
I adopted Chica when she was four months old. We have been attached at the hip ever since. She loves visiting the dog park and playing with the smaller dogs, going on walks and camping every year with me and my friends. She is great on a leash and sits on the curb before we cross the street. She passed her Obedience Training with ease. She is loyal, playful, stubborn, and intelligent. She likes to fetch her favorite toys in the backyard. She knows her basic commands; sit, stay, shake, leave it and drop it. She listens very well on the leash and listens most of the time in the backyard. She does really well with a second dog to play with and to burn off extra energy. Chica is nervous around large alpha dogs and does best around dogs her size or smaller. She is very protective of the backyard and has fence guarding issues. She is fine with my friends in the backyard during BBQ’s and corn-hole games. However, her over-excitement and barking increase when I get home from work. I tried everything to calm her down on these occasions. She protects the backyard when I arrive and then settles down when I greet her. Unfortunately, there was an incident and she bit my roommate in our backyard. She is very loveable. So many people think she is funny with her tail always wagging at the dog park. A prospective adopter needs to know that she has anxiety and some fence aggression. A dog training specialist believes Chica could get help through behavioral training. She just needs guidance for a balanced life. Her adoption fee is $100

Camper  1.5 Year Old Male
A spirited and affectionate German Shepherd who lives life with boundless energy and a heart full of love. He’s the ultimate outdoor companion, whether it’s racing down the shoreline with waves crashing at his paws, trekking through the forest with his nose to the ground, or leaping into the river for a splash, he thrives in nature and never says no to an adventure. Always eager to chase a ball, a squirrel, or even a dancing shadow, his playful drive keeps everyone smiling. But for all his energy and athleticism, he’s just as happy being your shadow, staying close by your side no matter what you’re doing. At home, he's a big softie who lives for belly rubs and long cuddle sessions on the couch. His loyalty runs deep, and he’ll always be there to nuzzle into you at the end of a long day. A total foodie at heart, he’ll do just about anything for a treat, as long as it’s not chicken (he’s allergic). Despite his allergy, he enjoys a variety of yummy snacks that keep his tail wagging. Intelligent, gentle, and full of personality, he is not just a dog, he’s your best friend, your adventure buddy, and your biggest snuggle bug.

She’s 5 months old. she comes with a collar, food (wet and dry), toys, and water and food bowls. She is fully vaccinated however we did them ourselves.

We haven't introduced him to cats or other animals. 3) Max is housetrained and does well when left in the house alone, goes well with 6-8 hours all by himself. He sleeps in a large wire enclosure on his bed at night. 4) Max had received formal obedience training when he was a year & half. He knows all basic commands, he is definitely food oriented, walks great on a leash, greets with a bark with other dogs, we use a prong collar to effectively redirect Max’s attention. Max has a great recall and loves to hang out with us in our backyard. 5) Max enjoys his car rides, though he whines at first, otherwise is a polite passenger. 6) Max enjoys playing fetch, hide & seek, and squeaky toys. He is not a fan of water, and will take a dip but not so much of a swimmer. Max is healthy overall, but does suffer from mild ear infections that require routine cleaning. Max is up to date on his vaccines (rabies & distemper/parvo boosters) and he tested negative n heart-worm test last month.

Sweet Pea  1.5 Year Old Female
Sweet Pea is a very sweet and smart girl that loves attention, pets, belly rubs. Our family member that initially adopted her is unable to care for her going forward, so we're doing everything we can to find her a loving home. Sweet Pea has a lot of energy, would need a yard to play in and ideally an owner that can take her on walks and wants a best buddy. She would need to be introduced to any animals in the home prior to being placed to make sure they get along, as she is friendly but hasn't been properly socialized. She's had some basic training but would need attention in that area as well to hone the skills.

Grif  5 Year Old Male
Meet Griff, a handsome 5 y.o. Shepherd-Pit mix who is healthy, lively, and looking for a new home. He is a sweet, energetic, loyal, alert, and very intelligent dog who loves his human and canine friends. He loves to go on hikes, trail runs, follow you on a bike, chase a ball, perform his many tricks, and is eager to learn and train. He’s great at home and snoozes on the couch when we’re gone, is crate trained and is great on leash. Griff was highly successful with his trainer. However, he does sometimes show reactivity to new dogs and new people, especially around the home and with his people. With a stable and consistent routine during introductions, he is able to safely meet others and welcome them quickly into his life and be friends, and he’s loved living with other dogs. There have never been any serious altercations but we are diligent to avoid any trouble. We are hoping to find him a new family who can provide a structured, engaging life. This new family should be reactive-dog savvy and live an active lifestyle. Not a good fit for a home with children or cats. Griff lives in South Lake Tahoe and we are willing to travel to meet potential families!

Magnus  5 Year Old Male
Hello, we’re looking to re-home Gus, (Magnus) our 5yr-old German Shepherd. We are a military family relocating to the area from Texas and would like to find Gus a new loving home, as we recently learned that he is allergic to his sister, who is a cat, and renting a home with a large dog has its challenges.
​He’s a gentle giant, very laid-back, but yet very aware of strangers, especially knocking at the door. Gus is an indoor dog, notifies when he needs to go to the bathroom or is hungry and is neutered. He’s great with kids and other animals with the exception of cats. Thank you!

Max  4 Year Old Male

Max is a 4 year old German Shepherd mix who loves being outdoors. He would be best for someone who lives an active lifestyle or can provide him lots of room in a yard to run. He enjoys playing in the water too, although we haven’t tested the beach out yet. He has done fine with kids, but has only been off leash with kids above 7 years old. He can live in the same house as cats but has been known to chase them as he thinks they are toys. He will walk past any cats just fine on a leash. Come meet this handsome boy today who is sure to bring lots of wags and kisses into your life!

Kaia  7 Month Old Female
I pulled Kaia from a kill shelter when she was 16wks old. She was so young and had so much potential that I just couldn’t let her be euthanized. She is so smart, loves to learn and play. She plays well at dog parks and with other dogs. She has become a bit protective of treats and toys around my bulldog who is a bit bossy. She loves to snuggle and watch Disney movies after a long walk. She knows many commands and loves to learn more. She knows sit, down, spin, shake, and we are working on off and stay/wait. But I’m sure with time and maturity she will get there. She is fully kennel trained. So she sleeps in a kennel at night and is in her kennel when I’m not home. She also is piddle pad trained but with small apartment living we are still working on potty training. She knows a doggy door and will use it.

Scrappy  2.5 Year Old Male
Scrappy is a young and handsome dog who is naturally curious and house-trained. He is low maintenance in the fact that he doesn't really chew on much, has a very manageable appetite and handles all kinds of food well, and has shown to not be destructive in any way. I saved him from being put down on Super bowl Sunday with the understanding that there was not actual plan to keep him- I saw his picture and decided that he was not going to die if I could help it. He is house trained but he also sleeps in my backyard. I think he would make a great protector of a home. I gave him a bath and he didn't cause too many problems. Any person who can handle a dog at the moment and has time for one would love this guy- it just isn't me right now.

Max  4 Year Old Male
 Max is handsome and smart too! I get compliments everywhere I go! He is a German Shepherd /Belgian Malinois, healthy and has a regular vet. He will be your best friend and loving companion and protect you, your family and doggies you may have ( barks loudly but will listen to you to stop). He LOVES chasing balls, cuddling and communicating with me. He doesn’t care for kitties and squirrels (chases them!) He does have some anxiety in the car and pulls on his leash when he sees a dog on walks, but enjoys dog parks. He is good with kids, crate trained, not a picky eater and knows Up, Down, Sit, Stay, Gentle, Off, Leave it, Shake, Wait, Go potty, and give lots of eye contact when addressed. He has had basic training. He’s very chill and will follow you all around the house! I am not doing well, can’t handle walks and I no longer have a home with a fenced in yard. He needs freedom to have fun and play around a fenced backyard or open space with an active adult(s) or family. It is extremely important to me that I find him another happy and loving home. I am sure someone will love him to pieces again!

Summer  4 Year Old Female
 Summer is a beautiful, four-year-old German Shepherd who is full of energy, love, and loyalty. She has been spayed and is crate trained, making her a well-mannered companion in the home. Summer gets along well with most dogs, people, and children, and she loves to play and explore. She thrives on attention, exercise, and companionship, making her the perfect fit for an active family or individual who can give her the time she deserves. It is with heavy hearts that we are looking for a new home for Summer. Our family has grown to include three young children—two under the age of two—and we are unable to provide her with the time and attention she needs. She is a wonderful dog who will bring so much joy and love to her new family. If you’re looking for a fun-loving, devoted companion, Summer might be the perfect match for you!

Remi  2 Year Old Male
Remi is a 2 year old 75-80 lb. Belgian Malinois, German Shepherd, Great Pyrenees mix. He was originally adopted from Stanislaus County Shelter at 6 months old, taken in as a stray. Since being adopted, he has been trained extensively by Confident K9, LLC as a service dog for his owner. But, due to a decline in health (recently passed), his owner is no longer able to provide him the care he needs. Since arriving in his current home, Remi has shown immense capabilities as a quick-learning, eager to please dog who has potential to be an active companion or service dog for an attentive, dedicated owner. His only serious limitation is cats. He just can’t seem to understand what they’re all about. He would do best in a home where cats are not present. He is crate trained, walks nicely on the leash, potty trained, and off-leash recall trained. Obedience with Remi is a breeze so long as the handler is consistent and capable. Remi has lived with two other medium-sized dogs. He has had some success around smaller dogs with the trainer, but would do best in a house with a medium to large housemate under supervision. He is a big puppy who has a potential to become overwhelming for dogs smaller than him, so his new owner should be knowledgeable and attentive to dog dynamics. His size and age does limit him from being appropriately handled by those with mobility or balance issues. He does not have experience around children other than seeing them from afar, which he did well with. His large size and puppy energy would make him a better fit for those with older children rather than younger family members. Remi would thrive in a home that is willing to keep him busy, as he loves to work and will give himself jobs to do when bored for long periods. His personality is very silly and loving. He is a big cuddler who loves to put his big head and paws in your lap. His biggest goal in life is to make his owners proud. He is sure to be madly in love with anyone he can call his own. Remi’s adopters would also be provided 4 complimentary training lessons from Confident K9, LLC with his original trainer to help the transition go smoothly. Free large crate and treadmill (which he loves) with Remi.

Dora gets along with the two large male dogs she is currently housed with but is selective with her past dog friends. She is smart and dedicated to her people.

Gretta  6 Year Old Female
Gretta loves people, though she has not been around small children much, and because of her size and exuberance, she would be best w high school age kids. She loves the snow and water, beach, mountain lakes/rivers, and the swimming pool finishing off her summer runs w a cooling dip in the pool. She has learned to play ball/fetch and “usually” brings it back to you. She gets along with other dogs Corgi size and up. When first meeting a new dog, she may raise her ruff a bit, but once familiar, she’s good to go. She should not be trusted with cats but does tolerate them. She is spayed, microchipped and up to date on vaccines including rabies. She’s ready to meet her new family and provide you with all the love you could want.

Axel 4 years old

I’m AXEL! I love people and am very affectionate, I love to have my belly scratched. I have lots of energy and love to go on walks. I do have anxiety, and I get nervous around small children. About a year and a half ago, my owners brought home a little human. When he learned to crawl and grab my fur, I would get a little nervous and frustrated. Then he started walking and that made me even more nervous! Word on the street is there will be another little human here soon. I’m looking for a new home with someone who can give me lots of attention, consistent training, and love. I do great around children 10 and up who are more experienced dog owners and are better at being gentle with me. I am neutered, up to date on my vaccines, and of course potty trained!
