Hey there, I'm Creed, a 3-4 year old, 85lb , very sweet, confident, active canine looking for an experienced dog handler.  I was pulled from Stockton Shelter and had to take a few months off to recover from  heartworm treatment as I was heartworm positive.  I"m so grateful to the shelter and this rescue for giving me a second chance. Now, I'm just loving life!  I've been working with a trainer to learn some manners and how to interact appropriatley around other dogs . So  far so good. I'm really excited to see new dogs and I am doing well with new dog introductions,  I have participated in a couple of pack walks so far and I was told I did an amazing job! For now, I am just working on learning how to be a dog again. If you're looking for a dog with working line traits, one with a loyal heart and a willingness to please, then I'm definitely worth taking a look at! I will thrive in an active house  with boundaries, and training experience.  Older children,12 and up would be best.   I am current on vaccines, microchipped, neutered and am currently on heartworm prevention.  Minimum adoption donation: $400.00 Please visit our website at www.edcgsr.com to fill out an application for this dog. show less

Hi!  I'm Delta.  I'm a 15 month old, 55lb. Malinois/Tibetan Mastiff mix with a super sweet personality and a willingness to please. I was found with my brother running loose and was grateful to be picked up from the country and brought to a place where I can be cared for and trained,  I love people and other dogs. I am crate trained, and working on my obedience commands.  Right now I still have puppy brain, and need some work on slowing down and focusing. I guess I'm just a typical young dog.  If you've got GSD or any working dog experience and you're looking for a really sweet, gal.( I'm much calmer than my brother I'm told) I could be the next gem in your life!  At this time in my life I'm capable of pretty much anything.  An active family with other well adjusted neutral dogs would be fine. I may be a bit too active for really young children, but I do love people ! I would probably be ok with cats if introduced appropriately and they didn't run.  Plesse only experienced GSD or other working dog breed owners apply as I really need a structured life style. I love playing and chasing my friends in the water and out.  I love to play fetch and will bring it back. I enjoy rough housing with other dogs.  I'm crate trained, house trained and will come in the house and lay down quietly as long as I have something in my mouth to chew on.   I am an extremely lovable gal who's still looking for her forever home.  Why not give me a chance? I am  current on vaccinations, spayed, microchipped and heartworm negative Minimum adoption donation: $400.00 Please visit our website at www.edcgsr.com to fill out an application for this dog. show less

I'm enchanting Echo and I'm a  2+ year old, super sweet girl who was found as a stray and ended up in the shelter.  Right now I'm settling in at the rescue and looking for a foster or forever  home  where I can grow into the amazing dog I'm supposed to be.  I'm good with all the dogs and humans I've met so far.  I love to play chase and chase the ball.  I know some commands but I do need a refresher course on obedience.  I really love to run and Ii can jump high when left alone, so a secure 6 foot fence or someone home during the day would be what I'm looking for.  More to come on from me once I've had a few more experiences with my new rescue friends.  I am spayed, current on vaccinations, heartworm negative and microchipped.

  Ellie is a vivacious, 7 year old, strawberry blond German Shepherd mix*.  She is petite at 53 pounds, a very happy, loving girl, who craves human companionship!  This sweetheart is very energetic, vocal, and animated (think puppy); everything’s exciting!  Ellie has done well with low-energy respectful dogs with slow proper introductions and with my 4 foster dogs both male and female.  Ellie is very prey driven!  Cats, squirrels, and lizards beware! However, we have been working on this and she is improving greatly.  Ellie loves going on walks, is learning how to walk nicely on leash, and has done well on pack walks with 30+ German Shepherds through downtown Sacramento and Placerville. Ellie needs a patient adopter, preferably one who stays at home who will take the time to acclimate her to new people and to her new forever home.   A calm household with children 18 years old and up who will keep her energy level down is needed...so anything to get that energy out…hikes, walks, runs…a tired dog is a happy dog!   Ellie’s forever family should have American Eskimo Dog, Chow, or German Shepherd experience.    She knows sit, down, place, come when called and “wait” at a door. Ellie is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and heartworm negative.   Could this little cutey be the missing piece in your life? *German Shepherd 52%, American Eskimo Dog 17%, Alaskan Malamute 17%, Siberian Husky 7%, Chow 7% Minimum adoption donation:$350.00  Please visit our website at www.edcgsr.com to fill out an application for this dog.                                        show less

  Pick me! Pick me!  I'm Harlye, a 4.5 year old loveable, female GSD. If you're looking for a loveable, energetic gal who loves people then I should definitely be your first choice.  I'm an active gal who is settling in, working on my focus.  I've had a rough couple of years, but that's all behind me now.  What I really want is an active family with dog experience and patience to help me be the best I can me.  At this time I'm enjoying the training and attention I'm getting from the volunteers at the rescue, but I really want my own foster or forever home.  As I learn some commands and how to calm down, I see that life is good. I would make a great hiking partner and maybe even some dog sports..  I am working on my socialization with other dogs and that is coming along nicely, but for now I'd be best as an only dog as I am working on controlling my impulses around energetic dogs.   I am definitely worth looking at and with all the trraining and attention I'm receiving from these people my future is looking promising.  I am current on vaccinations, heartworm negative, spayed and microchipped.

 I'm Max,  a German Shepherd mix. I get along great with other dogs, but can be a bit exhuberant at times and just need a reminder to slow down. I haven't had much time around other dogs and I get really excited to play.  I am currently living with a cat, but would need proper introductions with  any new feline friends.  I have also been raised around chickens and would make a good guardian dog, although I really want to be inside with my family.   I am great with the children in my family as I grew up with my 5 year old buddy I'm living with.  I love to play in the water and play fetch and I can do this for hours. I am told I am the sweetest dog, but I get anxious when my family leaves and I try to follow them so I need a securely  fenced back yard.  I really  want to spend all my time with my family, but what respectable German Shepherd doesn't. I am a great family dog, and I'm looking for a family to love me as much as I will love them.  Could I be your next family member? I am current on vaccinations, microchipped, heartworm negative and neutered.

Hey Everyone!  I'm Nellie!  I'm a 12 month old sweet pup who weighs about 55lbs.  They call me Nellie Noodle because I'm so limber and I just weave in and out of my handler's legs.  I am learning how to trust people as I was found as a stray and haven't had much socialization with strangers.  I have many volunteers at the rescue who I adore.  I know Sit, Down and Place.  I do love to play with other dogs but I'm working on how to play appropriately as I'm still just a pup.  I am looking for a family with older children 16 and up, a  couple  or single person where I can learn to be more trusting of people in my own time. Once I know you, I am your best friend for life.  If you're looking for an adorable, sweet young girl who loves to play, gets along well with other dogs, and just needs some patience with strangers, then check me out! I'm current on vaccinations, heartworm negative, spayed and microchipped.
