My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Cyrus is a handsome 4+-year-old male who GSRNC brought into our program as a puppy in July 2020. He is a very playful, energetic, loveable, and affectionate boy, who immediately was adopted. His owners loved him but found he was a bit too playful with his senior dog pal. We are on a quest to find the perfect home for this boy who the foster describes as “a sweetheart and real lovebug.”

Read what Cyrus wants you to know about him:


-I am super handsome and just over 4 years old.
-I always have a big smile!
-I am an 85 lb bundle of energy with soft thick fur who loves to be brushed.
-I walk well on a leash and enjoy going on hikes, neighborhood walks and runs.
-I love car rides!
-I get along well with other dogs but play rough so need a high energy fur sibling with a similar play style.
-I haven’t had any experience with cats.
-I am more interested in hanging out with my people and relaxing than playing with toys. I probably should have been named "Shadow"
-I am housebroken, know my basic commands and I will sleep in a crate at night. But I don’t like being crated during the day.
-I show no food aggression and take treats with a soft mouth.
-I just got a foster home and am perfecting being the perfect family dog!


Watch Cyrus making friends in his obedience class!

Check out his romps with his buddy!


Cyrus has come far with the help of a trainer. Despite being bounced from house to house and spending months in a kennel, Cyrus is ready to trust and be loved. His new family will require continued management so he can stay at the top of his game.

Cyrus is a level 3 dog, more on the mellow side, and being fostered in the East Bay.

Adoption Process

Our adoption process is designed to help you and the right dog find each other. Our goal is to place each dog into a permanent, safe, and loving home.

To adopt a German Shepherd Dog from us, you must:

1. Live in Northern California.
2. Complete an Adoption Questionnaire, either online, or by mail. If you do not own your home, you must also have your landlord complete the Landlord Letter.
3. Be interviewed by an adoption counselor.
4. Allow a home visit by an adoption counselor.
5. Choose, and be chosen by, the right dog.
6. With our approval, sign our Adoption Agreement, and pay the associated fee.
7. At the time of adoption we also collect a deposit which is refunded after completion of two training sessions.

After we receive your online Adoption Questionnaire, we will call you to begin the adoption process. We encourage potential adopters to come to one or more Adoption Days, because that is the best way to meet several German Shepherds and to find your new companion. If you attend an Adoption Day and choose a dog, you may be able to adopt the same day, if all adoption requirements are met.

If you cannot come to any Adoption Day, we can still assist you, this may take longer because the people who will help you are volunteers who usually have jobs, and scheduling meetings with dogs can be complex because our dogs live in many homes and kennels.

We do not adopt to homes outside of Northern California.
