My story

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

My new name is Yuki (yoo–kee). I am only 2 years old and was brought into the San Jose shelter with some fairly serious bumps and bruises after being hit by a car. My owner declined to pick me up, so the shelter volunteers began reaching out to rescues. As fate would have it, GSRNC heard about me, immediately came to the shelter, realized what a special girl I was, and the rest is history!

I was in really bad shape. I didn’t eat much while at the shelter so am pretty skinny, but rest assured, my appetite is growing. My foster mom is feeding me yummy kibble and so I’m gaining weight back. I am taking some meds due to the car accident, which I really don’t like, but it’s short-term until I get back to normal. I must admit, I do like the yummy treats they bribe me with!

I am housetrained and happy to use the backyard, please be aware of my signals to go!

I have a foster sister that I am getting along with. We walk together and my leash manners are pretty good. I am cautiously friendly with new dogs and back down quickly if they show any aggression. I haven’t met any cats yet.

My foster mom says I am a very sweet dog, friendly with just about any human, very easy and affectionate. I walk nice on a leash and am learning a few things like ‘sit’ and ‘down’.

I still have some recovery to go but each day is better and brighter for me. I’m so happy the rescue world saved me, and I can’t wait to find my new home.

Stay tuned for updates as I settle in with my foster family and recover from my accident.

Adoption Process

Our adoption process is designed to help you and the right dog find each other. Our goal is to place each dog into a permanent, safe, and loving home.

To adopt a German Shepherd Dog from us, you must:

1. Live in Northern California.
2. Complete an Adoption Questionnaire, either online, or by mail. If you do not own your home, you must also have your landlord complete the Landlord Letter.
3. Be interviewed by an adoption counselor.
4. Allow a home visit by an adoption counselor.
5. Choose, and be chosen by, the right dog.
6. With our approval, sign our Adoption Agreement, and pay the associated fee.
7. At the time of adoption we also collect a deposit which is refunded after completion of two training sessions.

After we receive your online Adoption Questionnaire, we will call you to begin the adoption process. We encourage potential adopters to come to one or more Adoption Days, because that is the best way to meet several German Shepherds and to find your new companion. If you attend an Adoption Day and choose a dog, you may be able to adopt the same day, if all adoption requirements are met.

If you cannot come to any Adoption Day, we can still assist you, this may take longer because the people who will help you are volunteers who usually have jobs, and scheduling meetings with dogs can be complex because our dogs live in many homes and kennels.

We do not adopt to homes outside of Northern California.
