My story

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

NOTE: SITKA IS WITH HIS RESCUER IN SACRAMENTO. GSRSV MET SITKA AND WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH HIS TEMPERAMENT. WE ARE LISTING SITKA ALONG WITH OUR OWN DOGS ON THIS WEBSITE TO GIVE HIM MORE ADOPTION EXPOSURE. PLEASE SEE BOTTOM OF THIS PROFILE FOR CONTACT INFO.

UPDATE 11-2-24: SITKA IS NOW NEUTERED, FULLY VACCINATED & HEARTWORM-TESTED!

"Sitka" is a handsome, approx 70-lb, 3-4-yo neutered male GSD who is sweet, obedient and mellow. Sitka is healthy and will be up-to-date on core vaccinations prior to adoption.

Sitka is a real love bug. He craves affection and loves to snuggle! He is good with strangers and will likely be great with children as he is calm and gentle for the most part.

Sitka gets along great other dogs. He visited GSRSV's Rescue Ranch on Oct 27, where he interacted with several dogs, both male & female, and was friendly with all of them. He didn't even object when one of them barged into the car he came in upon arrival! See elsewhere on this page for a video of Sitka interacting with the other dogs.

Sitka could very well be fine with cats, though he’ll need further assessment here. He did see a cat through a glass door, and all he did was whine and paw at the door; no barking or aggression displayed.

Sitka appears to be housetrained, as he has spent some time indoors with no accidents. At his current residence in Sacramento, he is primarily kept outdoors in a screened in patio.

Sitka has clearly received some basic obedience training. He walks easy on leash and obeys the commands “sit”,”stay”, and sometimes “lie down.”

Sitka enjoys playing fetch and chewing on his bone. He also sits quietly when riding in vehicles.

Sitka was left behind by his owner when she became ill. A woman named Ann came across Sitka and took him in to keep him from going to the animal shelter. She is unable to keep him much longer due to health issues so his need for a new home is fairly urgent.

Sitka is located in Sacramento. His adoption fee is $100. Please contact Ann at 916-628-8204.
