Story
Chip has truly blossomed in his foster home and is becoming "one of the pack". His foster mom has nothing but high praises for this handsome guy "Gosh...he is so sweet", "A couple of times he has initiated play with our females [GSDs] and it's adorable", "He does love getting a ball outside and carrying it around. We gave in an inside ball to, to chew on, in the house, which he will do sometimes. Mostly, he loafs around with the rest of the pack. We are so enjoying this guy". Chip has had a couple of interactions with their cat and basically ignores him. He even walked right past him and since he didn't care, neither did the cat. Chip will make a wonderful companion for some lucky adopter. ---------------------------------------------------------- Chip is a sweet boy shamefully neglected and is believed to have been dumped at the Modesto reservoir! Golden State German Shepherd Rescue evaluated this gorgeous male and he passed our temp test with flying colors!! Chip, can be talkative in his kennel and is friendly. Chip is a curious boy, but he also likes to lay down and relax. He walks well on a leash and he know "sit". When he wants pets, he may nude you or put his head on your lap! In the Stanislaus shelter, he loved splashing in the pool and carrying toys and dipping them in the water. He throws toys for himself and then runs around and collects them all. He doesn’t seem to know to bring them back to a person but maybe he never was taught. In the kennel, he has been a perfect gentleman and is very respectful of everyone and everything...except his water bowl! Below are a few videos of Chip taken while he was in the shelter: Chip's Playlist https://youtu.be/j0jyMFl35UQ?si=IfJP-_0FbRZdjSdF FOSTERED IN ACAMPO Adoption Form here

Good with kids, Needs experienced adopter,
Story
Pretty 10-month-old Luna was found as a stray in north Stockton. The kind family that found her, checked around their neighborhood, checked for a microchip, and even checked the Stockton shelter to no avail. They decided to contact GSGSR. Luna just completed her six-week obedience training class with K9 SOS https://www.facebook.com/K9sosdogtraining/ and NAILED the graduation obstacle course! Training has definitely improved Luna's all-around confidence. Luna is housebroken, rides well in a car, and although she lives with a Labrador brother named Cholo (who can get on her nerves), Luna is still learning doggie social skills and manners and can get excited when she sees new dogs. Luna would do best with an experienced and patient owner, one who can and will commit to continuing her training. FOSTERED IN STOCKTON Adoption Form here

Story
Hit the trail with Claus! There's nothing like camping or hiking with a furry friend. They help you to be in the moment, to stop and smell the roses, and they're such great company. If you've been wanting a companion to enjoy the great outdoors with, Claus may be your guy! This stunning, curious, confident 2-year-old German shepherd loves to go out and about, and is super smart. He's a quick learner, attentive, and adores people. (Other dogs, not so much at this stage. He should be the only dog in your home.) We think he'd thrive with someone who would get him into parks and nature and expend some energy. * Alert, intelligent * Loves people * Best tongue-out faces * Quick learner * Might not be dog friendly * Adults-only forever home preferred * Dog-savvy kids 14 and older okay Did you know FAAS offers $200 of canine behavior training with every dog adoption? Come take Claus for a walk along our waterfront and get to know this bold, beautiful youngster. We're open noon to 4PM every day but Monday at 1590 Fortmann Way location in Alameda, California.

Story
Demi is a handsome four year old Red Sable male GSD who was found as a stray in the Stockton shelter. He was picked up by Animal Control in June and was placed on the euthanasia list by August. The Stockton shelter contacted Golden State and thankfully Cynthia was available and she eagerly offered to foster this handsome guy. Demi is brand new to Golden State so we don't know much about him. However, he does appear to be extremely smart (Cynthia calls him the "K9 Einstein") and enjoys the company of dogs, both large and small. He also enjoys the company of people, especially women. Demi will require an owner who is committed and active, one who enjoys hiking, jogging, or even high level obedience training. Demi might even enjoy doing some Rally-O. "Rally Obedience (sometimes called "Rally-O") is a new take on traditional obedience competitions. Rally-O encourages human/canine verbal communication, eye contact, and moving in harmony. Teamwork is the goal. In both Rally-O and traditional Obedience, dogs perform heeling, sit, stay, and recall." https://positively.com/.../dogs-sports-activities-rally... He is currently learning housemanners and crate training. More information, pictures, and videos will be made available as soon as get to know him better. FOSTERED IN MODESTO

Story
Cute, adorable, and ever so loving and happy, Solo is a six month old GSD mix that was dumped in Linden. He was found and saved by a kind Samaritan who took him home. She initially thought she had found a possible home with one of her co-workers but could not keep him until the family returned from vacation. Another co-worker named Rasheeda offered to temporarily foster Solo until the family could take him. Unfortunately, when the family returned, they had changed their mind and decided not to adopt him so Rasheeda ended up with Solo. She didn't have many other options so she called Golden State. Solo has a couple of large breed four-legged siblings and can "keep up with the big dogs". He is also very comfortable with people of all ages and is good with kitties. He is housebroken, crate trained, and loves to play fetch. Rasheeda has a basket filled with toys and Solo loves to take out a bunch at a time. Solo walks well on a leash but would benefit from more training because, since he is still a puppy, he can get exctied and has a tendency to jump on people. However, Rasheeda is diligently teaching him to keep "four on the floor". Solo would do best with someone who has experience and the resources (time, energy, and commitment) raising a puppy but would absolutely love another dog in the home to keep him company.

Story
I am in a foster home and not at the shelter. If you are interested in adopting, submit an adoption questionnaire by email. Learn more hereHello from Milo! Milo is a gentle and loving soul. This sweet boy may have had a rough start in life, but he has made tremendous strides in improving his social abilities in his foster home. He was once fearful and nervous around new situations and people. Now, he eagerly welcomes guests to his home, wagging his tail in excitement for some tasty treats. He's even conquered his fear of passing strangers on the leash! (He still may have some stranger danger but it's getting better every day.) Fosters have reported that Milo is a playful and healthy pup who loves nothing more than being outside, playing, and exploring with his furry foster doggie siblings. He's full of affection and adores being petted, and his favorite place to cuddle up is right next to his beloved humans on the bed. His foster family calls him "Sunny Boy"! Milo is a good sleeper, sleeping soundly through the night, too. Milo will thrive in a calm and quiet household and environment, with routine and consistency so that he can continue to feel safe. He has learned to be a more confident dog! While Milo's past makes it hard to predict how he'll react around children or cats, one thing is for sure: this dog is full of love and loyalty, waiting for the perfect family to give him the love and care he deserves. With his good nature and willingness to learn, Milo is ready to be a faithful companion for life. Could you be the one to give him the loving home he's been waiting for? Milo is about 3 years old and weighs 59 lbs. He would prefer a quiet and adult-only home at this time.

Calm and Sweet Nature:  Exhibiting super calm and sweet behavior, Champagne remains composed and gentle, even during activities like bath time. She has been diagnosed with a skin condition called Pyoderma and receives frequent medicated baths. Leash Mastery:  Walking on an amazingly loose leash, Champagne proves to be an excellent walking companion, making strolls a pleasant experience. Though she will pull if she sees a squirrel run by!  Smart girl. According to her foster family, she is so smart and knows "sit," "lay down," and figured out how to open a door on her own.  Peanut Butter Connoisseur:  Champagne's love for peanut butter adds a delightful and endearing detail to her preferences, creating opportunities for enjoyable treats. We think Champagne would like to be the one and only dog in the home, but she may appreciate having some doggie friends!
