Here's what the humans have to say about me:
"Rajah" is an approx 7-yo, 50-lb spayed female Pit Bull/GSD who is both zippy and mellow, playful and loyal. Rajah is wonderful around people of all ages--she loves attention and is a real "people dog." She's great with little ones and tolerant of their probing.
Rajah is also great with other dogs--she's gentle w/ little dogs and can hold her own with the big dogs. She loves to play and is great at a dog park. She's also not reactive when there are lots of other dog making a lot of noise--as some Pit Bulls are. See video elsewhere on this page.
Please don't pre-judge Rajah by her dominant breed; though some Pit Bulls can be testy with other dogs, Rajah is definitely NOT a fighter, and if there ever is a skirmish she immediately backs off on verbal rebuke. Rajah would do best in a home with a dog who wants to run and play.
Rajah is OK with cats, though she will chase them if they run. Rajah lives with a few cats in her foster home and has always got along with them--even sleeping on the bed with them. Because Rajah will chase the cats if they run, we recommend only a home with cats that are dog-savvy.
Rajah is completely housetrained and non-destructive inside. Like most Pit Bull mixes, she loves to devour toys such as tennis balls, but knows the difference between what she can chew on and what she can't. She loves gnawing on bones, both natural and plastic.
Rajah is very well behaved and obeys multiple commands including "sit, lie down, stay, speak, enough, and leave it." Rajah pulls a bit on leash but is non-reactive when she sees other dogs. She is great off-leash with excellent recall. Rajah loves riding in the car and is an excellent passenger.
Rajah loves playing fetch and will play for hours. She also loves to swim. She'd be a great dog for an outdoor enthusiast.
GSRSV took Rajah in back in March 2016 after her owner passed away. She was adopted in June 2016 by a family with three young children, but they had to return her to GSRSV in April 2017 because they could no longer afford the apartment the were renting.
One of GSRSV's regular foster caretakers (Allison) took Rajah in on March 20, 201, and she's been with her ever since. Allison really likes Rajah and I was hoping that she would keep her but she has a few other dogs and finally decided to put her up for adoption.
Rajah is located in Rancho Cordova. Her adoption fee is $110.
