The following German Shepherds
and German Shepherd mixes are being fostered by other rescue groups or individuals in
Northern California, or are in animals
shelters. I have not seen or evaluated most of these dogs, so
I can not guarantee their temperament or health. However, because rescue groups such as
mine or individuals rescuing on their own are offering these dogs
for adoption, I am posting these dogs as a courtesy to those rescuers. As
with rescuing a dog from GSRSV, you will also have the benefit of knowing the
dog's
temperament from its foster caretaker (in most cases).
This
picture appears next to dogs that have proven themselves to be
cat-friendly. Last updated

Please contact the
individual or group name listed with a particular dog for more information
about that dog! If you find that a dog who is listed here is no
longer available for adoption, please let me know so I can remove the
listing. Contact Brian at either bab43@msn.com or 916-655-3125.

Santa Cruz, CA
"Minnie"
is a petite (about 45-lb), approx 2-yo spayed female GSD mix who is
cuddly, affectionate, and playful.
Minnie is an absolute dream in
the house. (She's presently in a foster home.) Potty-trained, calm
and quiet, doesn't chew anything inappropriate, and doesn't mind
being left alone. She's a perfect medium size so she can be picked
up if need be and fits nicely in the car, in the bed...in your lap.
DNA tests revealed that Minnie
is a German Shepherd, Husky, Pittie mix. The smarts, loyalty, and
obedience of the GSD shine through all day long. The desire to
protect her home and person has also joined the chat on occasion,
which is very GSD of her, and will be a blessing that requires some
management. We could imagine this coming in handy on the nights
alone after watching too much true crime!
This sweet girl has made many dog friends and regularly goes on pack
walks and hikes with dogs of all sizes, ages, and breeds. She
prefers a dog friend who isn't overly flirty and in her face and a
thoughtful intro is important. She coexists peacefully with the othe
dog in her foster home and they play very well together. (Click
here for a video of Minnie playing w/ the other dog.) That said,
peace would not be found with cats.
There is much more to say about Miss Minnie so give us a call or
fill
out an Adopter's Profile so we can really get into the nitty
gritty to see if this gem of a dog could be a fit for you!

Valley Springs, CA
"Sheba"
is an approx 65-lb, approx 7-yo soon-to-be spayed female GSD who is
super-sweet, mellow and all-animal-friendly.
Sheba is
up-to-date on vaccinations and is healthy overall. She recently had
all of her incisors (the small teeth between the canines) pulled,
both in her upper and lower palate. The teeth had been worn down to
nubs, likely from chewing on chain link fencing. Sheba has had a
complete blood count performed, with all values within normal
range.
Sheba has
been an absolute sweetheart with everyone she’s met—both adults and
older children. She has not met any kids younger than 10 yrs since
she was rescued.
Sheba
presently lives with four other dogs, including two Chihuahuas, and
a few cats. She gets along well with all of the furry residents. She
also has visited a ranch where there were horses, goats, pigs, cows,
chickens, and ducks; she had no interest in any of them
Sheba was
picked up as an abandoned stray in a remote location in Linden, CA.
No one stepped forward to claim her and she is not microchipped.
There is evidence that Sheba was not treated well in her previous
home; despite this neglect or abuse, her spirit is strong and her
personality sweet.
Sheba is
currently in a foster home in Valley Springs, CA. There will be an
adoption fee for Sheba, but it has yet to be set.
You can see
Sheba’s full adoption profile at
https://www.petfinder.com/dog/sheba-the-sweetheart-72054557/ca/linden/nevada-county-paws-ca1901/.
There is an adoption application on that link as well.
For further
information on Sheba, please contact Lori Perry at printsopaws@gmail.com.

Sacramento, CA
"Remmy"
is
an approx. 60-lb, 4-yo (February 2024) intact female GSD/Husky who
is happy, playful and sweet. Remmy is healthy and up-to-date on her
rabies & distemper/parvo vaccinations (both good thru 4-5-27).
Remmy is friendly with strangers, both inside the house and beyond.
It’s unknown how Remmy is with young children, but given her sweet
temperament, it’s almost a certainty she’ll be good with kids. She
loves to cuddle!
Remmy is good with other dogs, and did well with a cat who she was
around.
Remmy is housetrained and crate trained. Her foster caretakers keep
her in a crate when they are away from the house, and also crate her
at night.
Remmy received some basic obedience training and can perform some
tricks like “play dead.” Remmy pulls somewhat when being walked on
leash, however she is not reactive towards other dogs who she sees
on walks.
Remmy rides OK in a vehicle. She loves to play with toys (see video
elsewhere on this page).
Remmy was adopted when she was about 1½ yrs old. Her person, who is
the son of her present caretakers, recently underwent some life
changes forced him to give up Remmy so his parents took her in
temporarily in February, They are now seeking a permanent home for
her.
Remmy Is located in Sacramento near Sac State. There is no adoption
fee for Remmy, but whoever adopts her must get her spayed within 90
days of adoption. A $300 refundable spay deposit will be required,
which will be refunded once Remmy’s adopter provides evidence of her
spay surgery. This will all be in writing.
Please contact Estella Cervantez at ecervantez75@gmail.com or

Reno, NV
"Akela"
is an approx 6-7 yo spayed female GSD mix who is a real sweetheart.
She has been to a vet and she appears to be in good health.
This poor girl was a stray on
the streets for months before she was traumatically chased and
caught and brought to the shelter. She is fearful of strangers, shy
and reserved when in public.
Akela is cautious to
stimulation and doesn't play with toys but is very food/treat
motivated. She typically relaxes around the house and occasionally
will engage in play with her new owner who adopted her from the
shelter and has bonded with him. Akela gets along nicely with his
male Therapy Dog.
Akela would make a great buddy
for an active senior. She is a wonderful sweet companion but
is having a tough time learning to be house trained. She will go out
for walks but still comes in and relieves herself. She is just used
to going outside and will need some time and patience in a new home.
A nice back yard would be helpful, with 6' fencing.
Akela's owner is disabled and
has health issues and cannot keep her. He is terribly heartbroken
that he has to give her up as he has never given up on an animal in
his life.
Akela would be very happy in a
new home that has a calm environment and no children. She needs
someone with experience and who would be around a lot to help her
rehabilitate and blossom into the happy dog she should be. Please
help this sweetheart find a loving home.
If you are interested in
helping Akela, please visit
http://www.LakeTahoeWolfRescue.com,
go to the page WANT TO ADOPT? and follow the directions. Contact is

Fallon, NV
"Duff"
is an approx 8-yo male GSD available for adoption from the animal
shelter in Fallon, NV. Poor Duff has been at the shelter since July
20, 2021, when he was brought in as a stray.
Duff is very friendly with people, but the shelter feels he would do
best as an only dog. [Note from GSRSV: he'd likely do fine w/ a
medium to large female dog.]
A vet diagnosed Duff w/ Degenerative Myelopathy (DM, which is a
non-painful disease of the spinal cord that will eventually cause
Duff to be unable to walk. However, diagnosing DM is not a precise
science and it's possible that Duff just has hip issues. Either way,
he's not 100% in the rear end so whoever adopts Duff should expect
some deterioration in his mobility and be prepared to help him out
with that. (Wheel carts can really help dogs with DM.)
If you're interested in learning more about Duff, please contact the
City of Fallon Animal Shelter at (775) 423-2282.

Fresno, CA
"Sasha" is a beautiful approx
5-yo spayed female GSD who is loving, playful and somewhat alpha.
Sasha is healthy and current on her rabies and
distemper/parvo vaccinations.
Sasha initially barks at strangers who come into the
house, but once they are introduced is very friendly. She’s also
friendly with people she meets beyond her own territory.
Sasha is great with young children; her people have
kids over often and she plays gently with them and loves attention.
She waits patiently for treats and takes them gently from hand.
Sasha has only been around the dogs in her current
home since her people took her in back in June and has not done well
with them. She gets jealous easily when the other dogs receive
attention and drives them away.
Sasha does NOT get along with cats, so a home WITHOUT
CATS is in order.
Sasha’s people keep her outside primarily, so they
can’t say definitively if she’s housetrained. However, they have had
her inside on a few occasions for 2-4 hours and she did not have any
accidents during those times.
Sasha likely received some obedience training
previously as she sits and shakes her paw on command. She walks well
on leash without distractions, and when she sees other dogs when she
is on a walk she only wants to check them out—she doesn’t go
ballistic.
Sasha rides well in a car. She likes squeaky toys.
It’s unknown if she’s a swimmer.
Sasha’s people found her as a stray in June 2021 and
were unable to find her owner. They decided to keep her and had her
spayed in August. Unfortunately, Sasha is very jealous of the
existing dogs in her home which has led to altercations.
Regretfully, her people are seeking a new home for her.
Sasha Is located in Fresno. Her adoption fee is $100.
Please contact Rebecca Hoffman at beckyhearts@gmail.com
or 559-824-2110.
