Story
Beautiful Raven is about 3 years old. I rescued her 2 years ago in Austin Texas. She is an absolute joy and lovessss her humans. She is extremely loving and loves to give kiss attacks. I am destroyed that I have to find her a new home but I will take the time to find an amazing one for her because she truly deserves it. She is great on a leash and knows a lot of commands as I trained her for a year. She is good off leash as well as long as she has on a certain collar. She loves to go to the dog park and sometimes will go after the ball however she gets tired after about 10 minutes. I just got a new job that has taken me traveling every week which I never thought was going to happen. Raven deserves so much more than a momma that is gone all the time. I hope to find her a loving home that loves cuddles and German Shepherds.

Story
His name is Ty. He’s a neutered pure bred German Shepherd and will be turning 8 yo in January 2025. We put him in dog camp/training program when he was a puppy and he is great with walks and all basic commands like sit, shake/paw, down, etc. He’s an alpha dog and only gets along with non-alphas/submissive dogs so far. Though if introduced properly, we think it’ll be okay we just haven’t done it. He’s about 88 lbs and still have a lot of energy for his age. We have not introduced him to cats so not sure how he’d react. Interactions with kids and toddlers are fine, we noticed he doesn’t really care for them and mostly looking for adults to play with. Not the cuddly type but will stay close to you to protect. We’re looking for the perfect family to care for him. He’s very quiet at home and will mostly entertain himself but he loves the occasional outdoor activities. We just want to make sure he goes to a good, loving home, and to a family that will love him as much or even more than us.

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
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

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, 4 yrs 10 mos
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. To schedule a meet and greet, fill out the online application: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/RTUG/Dog. A volunteer will respond in a few days.
