Adoption Event Schedule
Events run from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM every month at these locations:
Please visit the GCGSR Rescue Page for specific address information.
All of our dogs are in foster homes and not in one single kennel location. Adoption events is the best way to meet several of our dogs at once.
Olaf is a 9 month old male German Shepherd mix with a beautiful sable coat weighing approximately 65 pounds. He entered the shelter as a young pup where he was readily adopted, but recently found his way back to the shelter for reasons unknown. Despite his confusing past, his personality remains simply jolly with a warm heart caressed by his adorable ears.
One delightful feature about this boy is his ability to engage other dogs in play and chase. His approach is curious and polite with the physical stamina to keep up with dogs much larger in size. He currently shares his foster home with a rough-playing female (see Cadence) and does well to match her style. Once he’s had enough, he is comfortable taking a break to explore elsewhere or lay quietly indoors near his human. This boy is not that interested in toys but enjoys his Nyla bones, especially those his foster sibling is cradling. He will start pawing and display play bows to try and get her to share, but eventually accepts he has to find another to enjoy on his own.
In the home, Olaf has very good house manners where he has learned to respect boundaries and wait patiently for carrots (one of his favorite treats). He looks forward to his daily walks where he has become accustomed to loud vehicles and common distractions along the way. His favorite activities include laying by your side and humbly soaking in affection while he buries his head in your arms. Turn down a belly rub? Never. Occasionally he will get excited and jump upward, especially when reuniting. Although he is learning to sit and be patient for pets, take caution with children.
If you have a car adventure planned, Olaf is game to be your copilot. He is housebroken and is accustomed to dog doors. At night, he readily enters his crate where he sleeps quietly. If you are looking for a canine companion with an endearing soul, this boy is ready to please you without disappointment. It won’t take long for him to win you over with his irresistible goofy charm.
Cats and small critters unknown.
Level 2
Understanding Dog Levels
Please be sure you understand what a dog of this Level requires. Go to our home page for an explanation of the Dog Rating Levels. ( https://gcgsr.org/doglevels/)
Additional Adoption Information
For more information and to see when this dog will be attending an Adoption Day, please see our Dogs page on our main website. (https://www.gcgsr.org/adopt_info.html) We operate within a reasonable driving distance from the Greater Sacramento area, the Central Valley down to Merced, and Lake Tahoe. A reasonable driving distance is determined by where one of our volunteers is willing to drive within our areas of service. That means we don't adopt out of our area, to Southern California, or out of state.
Puppy Requirements
We have special Requirements for Adopting a Puppy and a separate Puppy Questionnaire that must be completed on puppies. Please see our Requirements for Adopting a Puppy (https://www.gcgsr.org/puppies.html) email us at info@gcgsr.org for more information.
