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!

(*Raya is currently in foster with Hair of the Dog - A Bay Area Rescue EIN#93-4786419 and looking for her permanent home*) Hi, I’m Raya! I think I got that name because of my bright sunny personality. I’m a four year old female German Shepherd mix and weigh about 50 pounds - the perfect size!

I get along well with other dogs, but need a slower introduction as I have been told I come on a little strong. What can I say, I just get so excited to make new friends! I love a car ride and sticking my head out the window and letting the wind blow through my hair. If you think we might make a good team, please fill out an application to adopt me. I am so ready to go home!

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!

Symba  3.5 Year Old Female
Symba is a spayed, chipped GSD. She is intelligent and sensitive, with good eye contact and a readiness to learn. She is affectionate and food motivated. She loves all people, adults and children. Symba is potty trained, has good leash manners and knows basic commands. She is currently crate training. She would thrive in a family environment and has love to spare. Symba would like to be the only dog in the house and will chase cats. I would recommend no cats. She came to foster very shut down and overweight. With an improved diet and daily walks and play time, she has blossomed into a very loving dog. Symba would benefit from someone with German Shepherd experience. She will need continued training, exercise and good nutrition. Symba loves squeaky toys. She will chase a ball, but doesn’t have a great return rate. She has a mind of her own! When Symba gets the zoomies, it is a sight to behold. She has a beautiful smile and will definitely steal your heart. Symba enjoys being brushed, does well on car rides and is considered medium energy with a side of long naps. Please contact me if interested, or contact Front Street Animal Shelter to apply for adoption. She is currently being fostered in Glenn County and I am willing to do meet ups with interested parties. Her ID number is A657978.

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  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.

Becky  2 Year Old Female
Becky is truly the best dog ever. She is extremely intelligent and her obedience is stellar - she knows: sit, down, place, here, guard (used for the trick/not actually guarding the handler), free (for breaking the command, eating, and exiting her crate), has great crate obedience, is house trained, e-collar/prong collar trained, and walks nicely on the leash! She loves other dogs but can show a little aggression when on the leash (she has made great progress with this and there are only a few moments of on-leash aggression per week) or when she is being fed around other big dogs (zero food aggression towards handler or small dogs). Not a fan of squirrels and cats but she loves the beach, snow, mountains, and being outside! She has also not been near children in close quarters, therefore, I wouldn't recommend a home with small children. There haven't been any signs of aggression when we pass children on walks - However, she is still a Malinois and, with her energy levels, she can easily knock over a child. She would be the perfect fit and I am confident there are people out there looking for a dog like Becky! We've put so much work in over the past few months and I would like to avoid putting her back into a rescue environment where she could potentially regress. I will sponsor her rehoming in any way that I can for the right fit. She needs space to run every day and someone who has experience with the breed.

Vega  8 Month Old Female
Vega is an 8 month old GSD x Cattle Dog mix. She is spayed, house trained, and up to date on vaccinations. Vega gets along with some dogs and cats. Vega is highly intelligent and high energy. She is very focused, food motivated and easy to train. She loves playing chase, tug, and going after the flirt pole, but she’s not very competitive and usually surrenders to her sister. She is just starting to fetch for short stints. She would thrive with chickens, goats, cows or literally anything to keep track of. She knows basic obedience and more. Has an excellent recall and loves to bite at my heels while I race her on my bike. She leads the way on our creek walks and always finds the most efficient route around an obstacle. She’s got hops. She would do well with a runner or a hiker who stays off the beaten path. She does well with our nieces, nephews, cat & small dog.

Ginger  1 Year Old Female
Ginger is a sweet, intelligent, adolescent German shepherd currently in a foster home out of Los Angeles's North Central shelter. Unfortunately her foster has to move in early March, and would really like to see Ginger go to her forever home rather than back to the shelter. Ginger can be a little shy when she first meets new people, but she warms up quickly and her playful and eager personality starts to shine through. She learns new commands lightning fast and is working on her leash manners (she can get a little overstimulated when she sees other dogs). While at the shelter, she participated in playgroups, so she may do well with another dog in the home with a proper introduction. Currently fostered in a small downtown LA apartment, Ginger has adjusted well to urban life but would also love a home with space to stretch her legs. She is house trained, crated trained (at night), has no separation anxiety, and rarely barks - she'll do amazingly well in a variety of homes and would thrive with structure, training, and an outlet for her energy - whether that’s an active lifestyle, dog sports, or a job to do. She is believed to be a purebred GSD, but came into the shelter as a stray, so this cannot be guaranteed. If you're interested in adopting Ginger, please contact me (her foster) via the info listed here or on Instagram @jogswdogs. You can also reach out to North Central Animal Shelter directly. I am happy to help with transport!

He's a sweet, lovable, velcro dog, who loves the outdoors. He's quite playful, but well trained. He graduated from Lorenzo's Dog Training 8 week obedience program. He's great with kids and loves to play with other dogs. He's so well-adjusted, despite having been found at a park at 4 months old. He's neutered and kennel trained. If you tell him to "patrol the perimeter" he will do a detailed sweep through of your yard to make sure you're safe.

No Name  5 Year Old Female
Unfortunately the dog does not have a chip and no owner is able to be located in the system here in Fresno County. She is a female possibly 5 or 6 not sure on age because she has some gray hair on and around her muzzle. She is very sweet and gets along with other dogs as I have three dogs a pitbull, a boxer and a bullmastiff. She also is very friendly with people. She seems not to have any medical issues she just is pretty thin and hasn’t been eating a lot. I appreciate your help, I am praying I can help find her a home for her as I can’t keep her because I already have three dogs. Thank you so much

Duke  1.5 Year Old Male
We rescued Duke from the streets of Stockton after Thanksgiving. He was starving and appeared to have given up all hope. We rescued him, fed him, and nursed his physical and mental health. We had Duke neutered, vaccinated, chipped, heartworm tested (negative), and we started rudimentary training. He is extremely intelligent, affectionate, playful, and high-energy. Our best guess is that he is about a year and a half old, two years max. He has never shown aggressive behavior or viciousness. He does animate when he sees cats on his walks – walks that he needs and demands every morning, but he is fine when he sees people or other dogs. Even though we walk for about three miles -over an hour – daily, I’m sure he needs more or play time with dogs of his size. Duke is house broken and sleeps well through the night. The problem is that Duke doesn't fit well in our household. We already have four small orphans off the street, and his efforts to play are off-putting to our littles, especially our older girls. Seeing him on the street broke our hearts, and we saved him. We will not abandon Duke, but ours is not his forever home. My wife and I pray that a GSD person or family will see Duke, fall in love, and provide him a more suitable German Shepherd environment, preferably one with a partner-in-crime to play with which Duke so craves. We ask for no fee or reimbursement, and we will provide all the gear we’ve purchased for Duke. We only seek a happy home and a great life for Duke.

Carlos  2 Year Old Male
Carlos is an energetic and playful dog. He can be curious about his environment. If there's a dog on TV, he'll walk up and stare at it and do his little head tilts until it goes away. He knows commands and follows them well when he's not distracted by something. He has been loyal to us and always wants to be right on top of us all the time. He is very anxious and tends to be very vocal about it. He has terrible separation anxiety. He does have hip dysplasia rather early. He also chews on his nails to the point we can't really cut them for him. He gets ear infections because he won't stop scratching his left ear, even after it fully heals. Likes: Water, lots of water! Bones and treats, ICE! He can tear up most toys very fast. He can't contain his excitement when he sees people and other dogs, He is a very good play fighter and chasing. Scratches. Kisses. Cuddles when he wants them. Watch TV.THE VET. Dislikes: Separation, feeling excluded, reflections of himself and other people (he goes crazy), thunderstorms (my wife's Thunder Buddy), sirens, car rides, he eats dog beds, pills, baths Commands: Sit: Sit. Lay down: Lay down. Stay/wait: Wait for next command/OK. Up: Climb up, Down: Stop climbing on people. Off: Off of furniture, Come: Come. Leave it: Leave that item, Inside: Go inside, Outside: Go outside, Kennel/Bedtime/Goodnight: Kennel. Unfortunately, we're in a living situation that doesn't allow him a lot of freedom.

Despite his beginning, Winston is an affectionate boy who is learning to be a dog and is easily trainable. Winston is dog friendly, good on a leash, loves his crate but is frightened of water (since he has never known grooming).

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.

Katana  2 Year Old Female
She LOVES other dogs, people and cats. She does have a high prey drive so wouldn't recommend her around small animals. She is such a wonderful dog. I hate to find her a new home but my mom refuses to help with training so Katana is not listening when I'm not home.

Maximus  8 Years Old
​"Max" is an approximately 85-88-lb, 8-yo (born 10-10-16) neutered male GSD who is loyal, protective, curious and affectionate. Max is healthy overall, but does suffer from ear infections that require routine cleaning. Max just received his rabies & distemper/parvo boosters on July 14. Max always alert-barks appropriately when new people enter the house, but he is OK with them when properly introduced. He is protective when out on walks. Max is fine with the children he lives with, ages 5 & 2yrs old. Max is OK with other dogs, but is on the timid side. He gets overwhelmed when there are many dogs around, such as at a dog park. He does OK w/ small dogs. It’s unknown how Max does with cats. Max is housetrained and does perfectly fine when left in the house alone. He sleeps on a large bed in a wired enclosure at night. Max has received formal obedience training between 1½ to 2 yrs old. He walks great on a leash without distractions, but reacts (barks) when he sees other dogs. we use a prong collar to effectively redirect Max’s attention away from other dogs. We do not usually bring Max to areas where he is off leash, but his recall is great in an open back yard. Max enjoys car rides and though he whines at first is otherwise a polite passenger. Max enjoys playing fetch, hide & seek, and squeaky toys. He is not a fan of water. We took him in from another family 7 years ago when they were about to surrender him to a shelter, since then Max has been a valued family member of our family. Unfortunately, in the last 2 years my child has developed severe allergies to Max, so we are now seeking a new home for our beloved dog, Max. Max is located in Folsom. His adoption fee is $200.

Pixie 5 months

Pixie is a five month old highly reactive GS mix dog. We were told she was a terrier, but we definitely think that’s wrong. She gets well with other dogs that are her size or bigger, but she is dominant. We have a smaller 6 pound dog that she’s reactive towards. She doesn’t bother the cat too much but when he runs, she will chase. She is highly active. She loves to her little pool and the water hose. She likes to go on walks and play with the flirt pole in the backyard. She enjoys going out on car trips. We’ve had her for three weeks And she’s still yet to calm down. She’s always in play mode like she’s desperate for it. She doesn’t acknowledge commands. She is currently taking puppy training classes at PetSmart, but we think those classes aren’t the structure she needs. We We are just unable to care for her at this time. We were hoping she would be an emotional support dog for an autistic adult, but she’s just too hyper and his emotional well-being can’t handle her.

Apache, 10 months
Apachi is a sweet and smart ten month old boy. He knows how to sit, lay down and paw, and he's capable of learning new things in a mere few hours. He loves exploring, climbing and running around. He isn't a fan of water, but he loves other dogs, treats, listening and watching for things around the house, as well as lots of praise and attention. He would do great in a home with an experienced owner who holds firm to boundaries and has time and resources immediately available to properly train him. A home where small children or small animals can be seperated by a physical barrier is advised until he can be better trained.

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!

Pepper, 1.5 years old
We found Pepper about a year ago. She is a very sweet girl, loves walks, fetch, aaaaall the chew toys. She's spayed, knows basic commands, is super smart and eager to please! We've been able to train her out of chasing cats and chickens, but she may need reinforcement on this in a new home with new pets. She gets along very well with our other dog. We have chosen to rehome her simply because we don't really want a second dog, and she is very energetic and needs a lot of attention and exercise, and we're away from home a lot.

Derrick, 2-3 years old
Derrick is a petite German shepherd, possibly about 2 years old , is a deeply loving, playful dog who was recently rescued by a neighbor of mine from a shelter. The neighbor is not in great health and can not properly take care of Derrick and has kept him living outside. ⁣He is exceptionally cuddly, affectionate, and curious and resilient, of course. He sleeps like a baby all night long, finally being able to be inside, cooling off, and getting cuddles. He also loves to play with toys, particularly teething ones. My neighbor reports he does seem to have a prey instinct when it comes to cats, so a house with no cats is best as well as an owner who intends to allow Derrick to live inside as well as outside. The current owner says Derrick immediately curled up in his house at the foot of his bed when he first brought him home and inside, but he unfortunately has not allowed him back inside since.⁣ The neighbor has now surrendered him to me, and Derrick is in my backyard and on a back porch where I was able to set him up for now in shade with a dog bed, toys and food and water, and bring him in the house periodically throughout the day but this is not sustainable. I, myself, have 4 animals, including 2 cats, and have another dog staying here for a little bit, so it is not feasible to keep him. I’m just trying to find him a loving home. I’m in Idyllwild, but we’re all open to finding his forever home somewhere in Southern California.

Leo, 7 years old
I enjoy walks, riding in the car alongside your and playing fetch with my tennis ball at the park. My best friend is a teacup Pomeranian and I’m have lived with other dogs and cats. I’m trained to be off leash and am very obedient with commands. Up to date on all vaccines and flea and tick preventive , well potty trained (I don’t have to go out frequently) & I’m used to grooming appointments and frequent baths. As long as I have toys and a rug or dog bed to lay on, I’m a happy boy. I prefer to be left out I tend to break out of the dog crate. As of right now I’m not allowed on furniture but if you give me the okay to jump up I love cuddling up beside you on the couch.

Tonka, 2.5 years old

We are saddened to have to re-home our 2 and a half year old mastiff-German shepherd mix, Tonka. Recently, our one-year-old started walking, which became too intimidating for Tonka. She has never tried to bite him, but is clearly uneasy about him. She growls if he gets too close, and it has become too aggressive for us to take a chance.  She is, however, great with kids who are a little older and know how to give dogs space. Tonka is a 110 lb sweet girl who loves to be loved, playing fetch, and tug of war with her rope. Tonka has primarily been an indoor girl, but loves to spend every minute she can outside! She likes to go for runs and investigate all the scents of the neighborhood, as well as patrol the fence line in the backyard like a good guard dog. Tonka has had some training (potty trained/basic commands) but could definitely use some more, as she is a strong-willed girl. When we rescued her, she was 8 weeks old. Since she was accidentally separated from her mom only days old, they decided to have her spayed. We think that most of her issues/scared behavior is due to her being improperly weened. For example, she has always been territorial over her food and sometimes grumpy if we try to kiss her when she’s curled up and resting. With all of this in mind, Tonka has made our lives so much fuller.  Tonka deserves room to live freely and we underestimated just how much. If you are interested in the biggest, drooliest, most stubborn and sweetest girlie, look no further. We are praying that the Lord gives her the best home with as much love as possible. Contact: Max

Luke, 2 years old
Hello. I am trying to find a good home for Luke. He is a German Shepherd mix. Unfortunately we cannot keep him as my husband is deployed and we have to move. He is also not getting along with our older dog. He has high energy and would most likely do well in a home where he is the only dog. He is neutered. Please let me know if you can help. I have tried all of the animal rescues in my area. Thank you.

Fenway, 3 years old
Fenway will be 3 years old Dec 2023. He is an affectionate family dog that loves to please people. He is the most athletic dog we've ever had (he's our 3rd german shepherd over the years) and LOVES to play fetch and swim. He has grown up with 3 cats with no problems. He has not been around other dogs much for the past year. Too much barking has NEVER been a problem. He is very healthy with some eczema during hot weather or from too much swimming. He is pure breed (have papers). He is crate trained. He sleeps in laundry room at night. He has good general training (sit, down, stay etc). We just unfortunately can no longer meet his needs due to changes in our family, and want him to go to a good home.
