Here's what the humans have to say about me:
"Arcee" is an approx 6-mos old female GSD (soon to be spayed) who is very sweet, highly energetic, and somewhat headstrong. Arcee loves people, and is very outgoing. She bonds strongly with the person spending the most time with her. She is friendly with kids, but is still very mouthy and "jumpy" (ie, she jumps up on people in her exuberance), so kids under 10 or so are not a good match for Arcee at this stage in her life.
Arcee is friendly with other dogs, and is currently living with three other large dogs, one--an older female--who she plays regularly with. We don't know how Arcee is with cats, so will only consider a home without cats for her. Also, she might be too energetic for a small dog--even a young, playful small dog. Arcee weighs approx 60 lbs.
Arcee has received some basic training from her foster parents, but is still in need of considerably more training. She is not completely housetrained, though she spends a fair amount of time inside. Arcee does OK on leash, but a daily walk around the block will not be enough for her. She needs a home in which she'll receive lots of exercise, and lots of attention. Arcee's ideal owner will have previous experience with a high-energy, somewhat headstrong GSD.
GSRSV rescued Arcee from the Martinez shelter on 3-7-15. She went directly to a foster home in Brentwood, where she presently lives.
Arcee has yet to be spayed, but will be spayed prior to adoption. Arcee's adoption fee is $325, which will include a microchip.
