My personality

My story

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

Vinnie was found as a stray in Manteca with a severe wound on his hind leg. Thankfully, the leg was not broken, but the vet diagnosed some osteomyelitis in the bone due to infection. Vinnie was prescribed some high-powered meds, and with a lot of TLC, his leg did not have to be amputated.

Vinnie is doing very well in his foster home. He is currently living with two dogs (a little female Terrier and a Senior female GSD) and kitties. And although Vinnie is respectful of his foster siblings, he can get a bit rambunctious and forgets his age and size. He is friendly with his foster kitties but wants to "head butt" and play with them so supervision is a must.

Daily exercise is a must for this guy! His foster mom takes Vinnie on three-mile walks daily, and his foster dad started taking him on runs. Vinnie is housebroken and crate-trained, although he would rather hang out with the family.

More about this rescue

Golden State German Shepherd Rescue
is a 501(c)(3) non-profit based in the Central Valley of Northern California

Our mission is to find loving homes for German Shepherd Dogs in need of a second chance and to educate the public about this highly intelligent and versatile breed.

Most of the dogs in our program come from Central Valley animal shelters where they have run out of time. We place them into foster homes to assess their needs and gives us time to fully vet them. And then we find perfect fit adopters throughout Northern California..
