My story

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

Dear GSD puppy lovers, we are very excited to introduce you to our precious black and tan, big eared, silly little girl named Finx.

At 6 months old and 45 pounds, Finx (short for Phoenix) is proving to be a beautiful, energetic, and loveable puppy, through and through.

Training is going to be fun for Finx and her new family because she is motivated, intelligent, and a quick learner who wants nothing more than to please.

While new to our program, she already is crate trained, house broken, enjoys riding in the car, and is responding fairly well to leash training and social manners when out on walks.

Finx is gaining confidence every day. She greets adults and strangers carefully but not in an unfriendly way. She might pull on the leash with excitement and joyful anticipation when meeting other dogs, but doesn't bark. We aren't sure yet how she is around children or cats.

Besides being intelligent and playful, the fosters describe Finx as an outgoing, observant, curious, and affectionate girl with a big protective bark.

A message from Finx:
If you have the time and patience to exercise my
body and my brain, and lots of toys to satisfy my chewing needs, I will shower love on you and keep a smile on your face.

Finx is a level 4 dog.

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.
