Odie  2 Year Old Male
Meet Odie! Odie is a 2-year-old German Shepherd mix with a big personality and an even bigger heart. He is a smart, healthy, and energetic dog who loves being part of the action. Odie thrives when he has plenty of activity and attention, and he would do best with a family or individual who can keep up with his energy and give him the exercise and engagement he needs. When he’s not playing or exploring, Odie is a big cuddle bug who enjoys affection and being close to his people. He is kennel trained and does well with children, making him a loving companion for a family environment. Odie currently lives with an older dog and they get along well. However, he can be reactive toward new dogs and would benefit from a home that can continue working with him on introductions and socialization. With patience and consistency, he has great potential to keep growing and learning. Odie is a wonderful dog who deserves a home where he can get the time, attention, and active lifestyle that suits him best.

Dale  13 Week Old Male
Meet Dale Dale is a 13 week old German Shepherd mix puppy with a big second chance at life. He was scheduled to be euthanized on February 17th at Stanislaus Animal Services in Modesto, but was rescued and is now safe in a foster home in the Roseville area.

Zena  1.5 Year Old Female
Zena was found on our friends farming property outside Fresno California Christmas week of 2024. Her owners could not be located and shelters there were full so wouldn’t take her. She came to us at the end of January 2025. She is very active and playful and is constantly on alert. She knows some commands, is crate trained, house trained and can walk on leash- although needs more training to be polite. She is spayed, microchipped and current on all shots. Zena loves her people, gives great hugs and kisses. She’s good with kids but needs proper introduction to other dogs as she is somewhat reactive towards them. She would do great with a yard to run around in, loves hikes and long walks, so an active person or family would enjoy this with her. She’s very smart and doesn’t miss a thing going on around her! Zena is a very sweet pup!

Hi, I'm Levi! I've got lots of energy and I need room to run around and play, but I also LOVE to snuggle and I am a great comfort companion, protector, and BEST FRIEND! I love people and other dogs and my mom has trained me well. I came to her 5 months ago from a shelter (she fell in love) but for my own good, she realized I need more space than she can provide. I would love to meet my Forever Family and I hope you will give us a call very soon! I have so much love to give ❤️❤️❤️

Samson  5 Year Old Male
Samson loves playing fetch with anything, loves doing tricks, and going on long hikes and walks. He is very cuddly once he gets to know someone and is very food motivated. Sometimes he gets aggressive with our other dogs when doing tricks for treats and is generally dominating of other dogs, mostly licking their faces and coming between them and other people. He's a bit jealous and really would benefit being the only animal in the home. He has lived with cats before but it was with my retired dad and so he got a lot of undivided attention from him. After my dad passed Samson has lived with me and my kids, he does well with kiddos but gets scared of scooter and skateboards and will nip at their feet. Samson is always looking to do a job for me, he could play fetch all day or practice tricks. He would love to be with a home of people that are around often. He also loves to guard, my dad trained him to guard his farm and Samson loved having a job to do.

Maverick  6 Year Old Male
Meet Maverick - A Beloved Companion Seeking His Forever Home Maverick is a beautiful 6-year-old German Shepherd who has been a cherished family member for the past 5 years. Due to our son's job relocation with demanding 12-hour days, 6 days a week, combined with housing restrictions at his new location, we've made the difficult but loving decision to find Maverick a home where he can receive the time, attention, and active lifestyle he deserves. Why We're Rehoming: This isn't an easy decision - Maverick has been loved and well-cared for. However, with our son's new work schedule, Maverick would be crated for most of the day, which isn't fair to such an active, social dog. We want him to have the quality of life he's accustomed to and the companionship he needs to be happy. What Makes Maverick Special: Maverick is an intelligent, well-mannered dog who loves life to the fullest. He's an excellent swimmer and never turns down a game of fetch or a chance to chase his favorite toys. His intelligence and eagerness to please make him a joy to be around. Perfect With People & Pets: Maverick has a wonderful temperament around everyone - kids, adults, and other dogs alike. He's social, friendly, and would actually prefer a home with at least one other dog companion. He thrives on companionship and doesn't do well being left alone for long periods. Ideal Home: Maverick needs an active family with space for him to run and play. A fenced yard would be ideal for this energetic boy. He's well-groomed, healthy with no medical issues, and ready to show his new family just how loyal and loving he can be. Health & Temperament: Maverick is in excellent health with no medical problems. He's well-groomed, well-trained, and not a troubled dog in any way - he simply needs a home that can give him the active lifestyle and daily companionship he deserves. If you're looking for a devoted, energetic companion who will fill your days with play and your heart with loyalty, Maverick is waiting to meet you. Ready to Learn More? If you're interested in meeting Maverick, we have plenty of photos and videos showcasing his personality - including footage of him at dog parks with other dogs, interacting with people, enjoying time on the boat, and swimming. We're happy to share more information and answer any questions. Please understand that we're committed to finding the perfect match for Maverick. We're not desperate to rehome him - we're selective because we care deeply about his future. He deserves a family who can give him more than what's currently available to him, and we won't settle for anything less than the right fit.

Poppy  9.5 Month Old Female
Poppy is a 9-month-old pup who is the perfect blend of sweet-natured and high-achieving. As a working dog mix, Poppy offers the stamina and "drive" of a Shepherd with a unique look. She is the perfect fit for an experienced owner who wants the GSD personality and capability in a one-of-a-kind package. This spirited girl is as brilliant as she is athletic; she loves solving puzzles and mastering commands. She is an ideal candidate for agility training! While Poppy is quite playful and enjoys the company of other dogs, she has a soulful, cautious side. She takes life a little more seriously than your average pup and looks to her person for guidance. She thrives on clear, kind leadership, which helps her blossom and show off her lively, affectionate personality. Underneath that serious expression is a big heart waiting to love and be loved. Poppy is looking for someone active who enjoys training as much as she does. She is excited by squirrels and bikes, so she needs a partner dedicated to her leash work. She’s a "people dog" who wants to be by your side most of the time (and is a great car-ride buddy!). She would be thrilled to have a confident dog sibling to play with, but she is looking for a young-child-free home (and maybe a dog-savvy cat) where she can truly relax. Poppy is healthy, spayed, microchipped, crate-trained, house-trained, obedience-trained (and we continue to work with a professional trainer weekly), and receives heartworm/tick medicine

Girl  2 Year Old Female
Girl is gorgeous and sweet. She was hit by a car and set to be put to sleep by the Stockton shelter a few days ago. A friend and I were able to get the shelter to agree to do an amputee after we found a temp foster to take her. Her amputation is scheduled this Wednesday for her back leg. Despite being in pain she is still sooo good! We would love to find her the perfect home. Girl has a foster willing to take her after her amputation! If you see this please let others know about her who may be a good fit. Thank you everyone for your help! 🚨 SOS: Lovely Shepherd Lady Needs a Plan by Thursday, 01/08/26 at 5:00 PM! 🚨 👑Meet Girl—though honestly, she deserves the name Queen because everything about her radiates grace, charm, and quiet strength. ❤️‍🩹When she first arrived, she was injured, scared, and confused. Loud noises and strangers poking at her were overwhelming, and she didn’t know they were trying to help. Now that she’s had time to settle, her true colors are shining through. 🌈She’s shy, polite, and gentle—she asks for a soft approach, and if you’re patient, she’ll lay her head in your hand as if to say, “Thank you.” She’s not a rowdy pup; she prefers calm and easygoing moments. And who could blame her? She came to us after being hit by a car. Girl has a broken hind leg that will need to be amputated, 💔but don’t let that scare you—she’s full of resilience and heart. With a loving home and time to heal, some lucky family will discover everything wonderful about this beautiful soul.🕊️💯 🐶Good news! Girl is dog-social and does well with gentle male and female dogs. She prefers calm, easy-going and is not into rambunctious behavior. If play gets too rowdy, she will politely set boundaries—starting with a gentle nip and then signaling that she’s had enough.🐶 🫶👉If you can give Girl the home she deserves, please reach out today. Her future depends on finding someone who sees the Queen in her. 💓👉To foster or adopt please email our foster team at. [email protected] Or come and meet her at the Stockton Animal Shelter. 1575 South Lincoln St. 95206 🤲👉To rescue this lady, please email the rescue team at. [email protected]

Maya  1.5 Year Old Female
Maya was adopted from an Oakland family who had been fostering her. She was found sickly with her siblings outside a convenience store in Oakland. Maya is a mix breed, thought to be part German Shepard and black lab. At seventeen months old, Maya weighs at least 80 pounds so we think her mix includes another breed as well. Maya is loving and playful and very much wants to please. She gets along famously with our family, two school age daughters and five year-old deaf miniature poodle. Maya is fearful by nature with instincts to herd and guard. Maya does not like going to the vet. We feel the need to re-home Maya because our home environment involves too many people coming and going, triggering her guard instincts. Her size makes her difficult to manage when she is triggered. She is a fantastic dog for a family that can physically handle her size and has the time to direct her guard behaviors as well as channel her youthful energy.

Rye  3 Year Old Male
Rye is a 3-year-old (ish) German Shepherd mix, neutered, and a truly special boy. He was originally my mom’s dog, and after her recent passing we are fostering him while we search for the right forever home. Rye completed an 8-week training program at Canine Purpose in Loomis and received wonderful report cards throughout. He is smart, eager to please, and deeply bonded to his person—he’d happily spend every moment by your side if he could. He is energetic, affectionate, and thrives with regular exercise, outdoor time, walks, and play. Rye has done very well with other dogs, including at Canine Purpose, and gets along beautifully with our 4-year-old Labrador Retriever (featured in one of the photos). We have noticed that Rye can be reactive around small children, so we are seeking a home with older kids or no young children, where safety, structure, and exercise are a priority. This is an incredibly emotional situation for us, we would keep Rye if we could. Unfortunately, we have a 15-month-old baby and he has shown reactivity toward her, so we cannot safely keep him long-term. Because of this, finding the right home for Rye is urgent, but we are committed to making sure it’s the best possible fit. We will provide all of his gear (crate, leashes, bowls, etc.) and are open to helping with a placement or transition fee if it supports the right match. Above all, our priority is finding Rye a safe, loving, and active home where he can truly thrive.

Scar  2 Year Old Male
Scar is a 2-year-old, ~90 lb long-hair German Shepherd who is social, healthy, and friendly with people and dogs. He came from a neglect situation and we took him in our home to keep him safe, but we're looking for his forever home. He is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. Scar has very high sustained energy and needs a home familiar with working-breed drive. He learns well with structure, but he does not naturally settle after exercise. Not a match for a casual companion home or first-time dog owner. He will thrive with someone who enjoys training, hiking, or working with shepherds and understands how to manage excitement and boundaries. He has played well with our 8-year-old female pit bull, though she cannot match his levels of energy and enthusiasm. Good physical condition, no medical issues, and no aggression. If you are experienced with shepherds or high-energy working breeds, Scar has a lot of potential and will be a great partner with consistency and engagement.

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.

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.

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.

Ivan loves to run and play with other dogs, he’s super energetic and loves to be outside, more of an outdoor dog, but can be good indoors also only for a certain amount of time before he gets antsy. He requires a lot of exercise and attention to thrive and be his best self. Overall he’s a great trained dog and gets a long well with people and other dogs.

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.

We've had her a month and my 9 year old female husky rescue will not accept her even though Phoebe never starts a fight my old gal does. Phoebe is a snuggler. We love her but the fights my husky starts are increasing. We have had all shots since previous owner did not know her records. he's in great health and wins the heart of everyone that she meets.

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.

German Shepherd mix. Her name is Calliope. We got her from the spca and they just told us she was a German Shepard mix. The spca shared with us that she was taken from an Indian breeding ground and were not properly taking care of animals so they stepped in. She is very sweet, kennel trained, loves to play of course. Trained to go potty on pads, we have been trying to potty train her to go outside but she's struggling with it. She has a clean bill of health. She's good with other dogs and kids (cats are unknown). She’s very timid but warms up after a bit. She is EXTREMELY smart. Already knows sit, stay, lay down, and kennel. 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!

​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!

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 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!

Finn  3 Year Old Male
Super active dog, incredibly ball driven, very protective and loving but has quite a bit of anxiety. He knows his basic commands and tricks. Loves dogs but is scared of people. We only want to rehome him because he bit one of my family members and it’s hard for us to keep him now. I love him so much but I cannot look at him the same anymore.

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  7 Year Old Female
Dora loves to walk and run and has done great in the snow on adventures with her current fosters. 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. Dora does have some separation anxiety she will need to work through with her new person. She would do best with a person who is active and available to spend a lot of time together.

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!
