My story

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

If you're looking for a super cuddly, one-year-old spayed female, Katara is your girl!  She loves to crawl into your lap, snuggle into you, lick your face, and gaze at you adoringly.  She thinks as long as her two back paws are on the floor, she's not on the furniture.  She wants to meet all people and hopes they will stop to pet her.

Katara (Katy for short) walks nicely on a leash, knows how to sit for a treat or for dinner, is pretty good at come for a cookie, and is working on down.  She is really food motivated so she's really fun to train.  She loves to ride in the car to any fun destination, and would be a good walking or jogging partner.

Katara is good with other dogs both male and female.  She is shy at first, and if the other dog is friendly, she'll want play.  Although she is good with other dogs, she would be fine in a home without another dog.  She's more about the people and would love if her adopters are home most of the time.  

So far Katara has not made any messes in the house.  She does not know a dog toy from anything else in the house, so she needs to know what she's allowed to play with and chew, and what's out of bounds.  She is very puppy-like and is eager to please you.  She is very soft tempered, and with guidance and training will make a fabulous pet. 

Katara is:

Energy Level 3-Your Basic Shepherd: Needs daily exercise and play time. Some walking/hiking/training, and/or fetch will round out their day and allow them to settle in the evening.

Temperament Level 3-Comfortable with most people, may be under-socialized, may have some prey drive, separation anxiety, and/or leash reactivity, and may not be suitable for small children. Takes well to training.

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.
