My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

NOTE: BONES IS WITH HIS CARETAKER IN CARMICHAEL. GSRSV HAS NOT MET BONES. WE ARE LISTING HIM ALONG WITH OUR OTHER ADOPTABLE DOGS TO GIVE HIM MORE ADOPTION EXPOSURE. PLEASE CONTACT CINDY MILLER AT 916-261-3422 OR CMILLER6601@GMAIL.COM.

"Bones" is an approx 80-lb, 1½-yo neutered male GSD who is smart, obedient and dedicated. Bones is friendly with everyone he meets, both inside the house and beyond. He has interacted with children ages 8-14 and done great with them.

Bones has not had the opportunity to meet many dogs since his caretaker (Cindy) took him in back in April of this year. For the most part, he gets along fine w/ Cindy’s large male GSD, but there have been altercations between the two of them (more on that later). Cindy’s daughter took Bones for a walk with her male dog and they did OK but Bones did growl at the other dog. However, Bone’s was not neutered at the time and he has mellowed since then.

Bones appears to be OK w/ cats. Cindy has four cats in the front yard and when she lets Bones run free he will see the cats and wants to check them out, but if she calls his name he will stop and come back like he isn’t interested.

Bones is housetrained, but Cindy keeps him outside when she’s gone for any length of time. Bones sleeps in the pantry with access to outside. Bones likes to chew on objects left lying around so Cindy always has lots of toys and chew sticks available for him. He is still in the puppy chewing stage.

Bones walks well on leash without distractions. He does get excited and pulls on the leash hen he sees another dog, but his reaction appears to be friendly.

Bones enjoys riding in a car and is a polite passenger.

Bones loves chew toys and running after balls.

Cindy found Bones in Citrus Heights back in April on the side of a road. He was very thin and so weak he could hardly stand up. Cindy nursed him back to health and had him neutered & vaccinated. She was planning to keep Bones but she already has a male GSD and he sometimes gets jealous of Bones around her. The two dogs have fought on several occasions and though Cindy has tried to get them to coexist, it’s just too risky and stressful. Thus, she’s now seeking a new home for Bones.

Bones is located in Carmichael. His adoption fee is $100, per GSRSV’s policy.
