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.

Interested in adopting?
1. Please complete our online form at heartsforpawsrescue.com/adoption-application
2. We will respond in 1-3 days for a call!
3. If it sounds like a potential match for you and the dog of interest, we will promptly set up a meet and greet at the foster home
Please note we are a foster-based rescue meaning our dogs are in individual foster homes throughout sac and the bay. For this reason we may only be able to schedule meets for one dog at a time (or litter). The average timeline between app submission and a meet and greet is 3-5 days. Please only submit an application for a specific dog if you are ready to adopt that animal within a week's time.
