Here's what the humans have to say about me:
"Gloria" is an approx 65-lb, 3-yo spayed female GSD who is sweet, affectionate and mellow. She has a very soft, relatively thin coat--unusual for a GSD. (Genetically, she might be a mix, but outwardly she looks all GSD.)
Gloria is friendly with everyone she meets. She's fairly gentle so I'm sure that she'll be great with children. She loves to snuggle!
Gloria is very comfortable around other dogs but so far has not been very playful with any of the GSRSV dogs. I think that she would be more playful with another dog if it was just one or two other dogs that she lived with.
I have not observed Gloria around cats. I might consider her for a home w/ a dog-savvy cat but will give preference to adopters without cats.
Gloria is mostly housetrained but still has occasional accidents in the house as of the date this listing was posted. She is fine when confined in a crate and I have been begun to keep her crated during the night to prevent her from having accidents in the house.
Gloria obeys some basic commands and walks well on leash. She also has very good recall when off leash.
Gloria loves to go for rides in the car and is a polite passenger.
So far I have not observed much in the way of play behavior with Gloria. Perhaps once she is adopted more of her playful side will emerge.
Gloria received a "gastropexy" procedure when she was spayed, which will prevent her stomach from turning (volvulus) if she were to ever bloat. Bloat (gastric dilitation) is an often fatal condition when the stomach turns.
Gloria was brought to the Colusa County Shelter in Colusa, CA, on 9-19-22 as a stray. Nobody claimed her and she was running out of time. GSRSV rescued her from the shelter on 11-12-22.
Gloria is located in Pleasant Grove, CA. Her adoption fee is $260.
