Meet Bravo!


German Shepherd • Male • 3.5 years old

Currently being fostered in Davis, CA.

Bravo is a sweet, affectionate German Shepherd who was recently rescued from Yolo County shelter has been steadily coming out of his shell in foster care. We are excited to get to know him better as his personality shines! Here is what his foster says so far:

He gets so excited to see his people, greeting them with happy energy and enthusiasm. Once he trusts you, he truly bonds.

~ Out & About:

• Walks beautifully on leash

• Absolutely loves squirrels

• Not reactive to other distractions

• Has seen dogs from a distance and showed no aggression or over-interest

~ At Home:

• Cries a little when left alone and may bark occasionally (normal adjustment behavior)

• Enjoys playtime and knows fetch, sit, and lay down

• Eats well — more of a grazer and no food aggression

• Loves interaction and companionship

~ Personality Notes:

Bravo can be a tad unsure of new people at first if someone gets in his space too quickly. He does best with calm, respectful introductions and people who understand shepherd communication and boundaries.

~ Ideal Home:

• Shepherd-savvy or experienced dog owners preferred

• Adults or older teens who can respect space

• Patient, confident handler who enjoys building trust

• Continued training will help him thrive (he’s smart and eager!)

Bravo is a loving, playful, loyal boy who just needs the right environment to shine. If you’re looking for a devoted companion and are willing to go slow at first, Bravo will reward you with endless loyalty.

$250 Adoption Donation includes: Neuter, Rabies, DHPP, Bordatella, and microchip
