Story

Nala is a very sensitive and calm dog. Unforeseen health concerns have forced me to be stuck in a toxic and unhealthy living situation with a family member and, although I would prefer to not rehome Nala, I want to get her out of this situation and into a safer living arrangement. She is very active and loves to play fetch, among other playful/active pursuits. My ideal owner/home for Nala would be with someone who lives an active lifestyle and can give Nala the exercise and play that she needs. My health concerns have reduced my ability to care for Nala which has impacted my desire to work more on training (her main issue is off-leash recall) as well as get her out into the world more often to explore and experience new environments as well as have other canine friends she can meet and socialize with on a regular basis. Nala is super easy going and has never presented any problems when it comes to bathing and caring for her. I have more to say but had to edit down for word count limit.

Story

I adopted Cooper in 2020 from the SPCA when they estimated him to be 2 yrs old. Cooper is a lover with anyone he knows and trusts but has severe anxiety issues and fear based reactivity on leash. He is very protective of his loved ones which is both a benefit and a challenge at times. He loves cuddling and wearing sweaters and overall is not a high energy dog. He is also very smart and strong headed like most shepherds. Cooper needs routine and predictability which has made city life very challenging for him. He gets along well, even sometimes great with some dogs and with others he really struggles. He has not spent much time around kids but I would not recommend it without experienced knowledge of dog reactivity. Absolutely no cats. I'd love to see him find a home that can stimulate his drive to work

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

Luna

German Shepherd Dog

Details

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

Young Derby is a friendly, happy-go-lucky guy who could be a great addition to your family. * Sweet and approachable * Loves people * Other dogs unknown pending test * Gung-ho for walks and other activities * Confident * Smart but needs training We think Derby is part Belgian Malinois. He starts walks very bouncy with nervous energy but listens to his handler and catches on very quickly to new commands. This long-legged boy is tall but lanky and not very heavy or muscular, so he's fairly easy to handle on the leash. He'd be a great trail or running partner.

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

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

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.

Odette

Belgian Malinois Mixed Breed (Medium)

Female, 5 yrs

San Francisco, CA

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Odette is a cheerful and spirited Belgian Malinois who loves the outdoors and can keep up with an active lifestyle. She is gentle and affectionate, often giving sweet kisses to her fosters and handling her treats and toys with care. Playful and social, Odette enjoys the company of other dogs when properly introduced. Odette thrives when she has a job to do and appreciates a home where her humans can delegate tasks to her. She loves to stay productive but also cherishes essential snuggle time. She is well-behaved in the house, enjoys cuddling on the couch, and sleeps on the bed near the pillow. However, Odette is not suited for first-time dog owners, homes with small children, small pets, or cats due to her high prey drive. A fence might slow her down, but it won't stop her from chasing critters. Belgian Malinois are historically herding animals and can make excellent guard dogs. Odette would thrive in a home with ample space to roam and attentive humans who can provide her with the mental and physical stimulation she needs. Additionally, Odette loves camping, making her an ideal companion for outdoor adventures. She is ready to begin her forever adventure.
