Story
Shes a great dog. Very funny, loves to swim, fetch, and will fiercely love her people. She is very protective of her territory. She will allow friends and such into the house, but it takes her time to warm up to them.She has never bitten anyone, never had any issues. She's been the only dog in the house for 11 years so I have no idea how she'll be with other dogs in a neutral environment, but she is fiercely protective of our yard right now so I've never tried to socialize her with other dogs.I currently live in a very rural area and she has a half acre backyard. Im about to be moving back into suburbia and I doubt she'll do well there because she barks. She is very smart and as such has also become an escape artist. I solved this issue with a low-voltage hot wire.My current lifestyle is just not conducive to having a dog anymore. Im away from my house about 40% of the time and its just not fair to her. Shes 11 years old, but very young in spirit and shows no signs of slowing down.

Story
Meet Izzy – A Loyal Heart Looking for Her PersonIzzy is a beautiful 4-year-old Belgian Malinois with a gentle soul and a heart full of love. Smart, kind, and affectionate, Izzy is the kind of dog who forms deep bonds with her people and simply wants to be part of the family.Izzy does wonderfully with children, enjoys the company of other dogs, and has lived peacefully around cats with proper introductions. If a cat runs, her instinct is to chase, but she has shown no desire to harm them. She has also done well around chickens to the best of our knowledge.Unlike the typical high-octane Malinois, Izzy is fairly easygoing. She enjoys spending time in the yard, walks nicely on leash, rides quietly in the car, and remains calm around other dogs without being reactive. She loves toys, treats, and most of all, being with her people.Izzy’s biggest challenge is separation anxiety. She thrives when she has companionship and does not do well being left alone for long periods. Because of this, she would be happiest with someone who works from home, is retired, or simply has the ability to spend much of the day with her. She cannot be left alone in an outdoor kennel and may destroy bedding when crated, although she has never damaged the crate itself.Being a true Belgian Malinois, Izzy is naturally protective and may bark at unfamiliar people. While she may alert you when strangers arrive, she is not aggressive. Once she realizes everything is okay, her sweet and loving personality shines through.Unfortunately, Izzy does not show her best side in the shelter kennel. The stress of kennel life, combined with her tendency to bark at strangers, can make her seem intimidating to people walking by. Those who know her, however, know that she is a wonderful dog with so much love to give. We encourage interested adopters to ask staff to meet Izzy outside of her kennel, where her affectionate, loyal, and easygoing personality truly shines.Izzy is looking for a family that understands that her desire to be close isn’t a flaw—it’s simply who she is. In return, she will reward you with unwavering loyalty, endless affection, and a devoted companion who wants nothing more than to share life’s adventures by your side.If you’re looking for a smart, loving best friend who will happily accompany you through your days, Izzy may be the perfect match.June 25, 2026, 9:17 pm

Story
  Hi, my name is Beretta! I’m a smart, loving young Belgian Malinois  girl around 1½–2 years old who loves people more than anything. I learn commands very quickly and already know sit, stay, place, down, and release. I thrive with structure, mental stimulation, and a calm, confident handler who can help guide my excited energy in positive ways. I’m crate trained and absolutely love my crate because it helps me feel calm and safe while my humans are away. I was found wandering near Sacramento and was cared for by a wonderful veterinary team before going to live with my foster family, who has experience with working dogs. They’ve helped me learn how to channel my energy and continue building confidence. I love larger dogs and people of all ages, but I would do best in a home without cats, chickens, pigs, or small dogs because I like to chase them. I’m a loyal, affectionate girl with a big heart, and I’m ready to find my forever family.  Can't wait to meet you! I am current on altered, current on vaccinations, microchipped and heartworm negative. Minimum adoption donation: $450.00   Please visit our website at www.edcgsr.com to fill out an application for this dog. ##2748031##

Story
Full-Speed LucyMeet Lucy—the enthusiastic, squirrel-monitoring, adventure-loving girl who believes every day should be lived at full speed!Lucy is packed with energy and always ready to get out and explore. Whether she`s romping around the yard, investigating every interesting smell, or checking the trees for suspicious squirrel activity, this girl approaches life with excitement and curiosity. In fact, squirrels are VERY interesting to Lucy, so she`d likely prefer a home without cats.On walks, Lucy can get a little distracted by all the sights and sounds around her, but with gentle guidance she settles in nicely. After she`s had a chance to burn off some energy, her leash manners improve, and she becomes a much easier walking companion.In the yard, Lucy`s sweet side shines. She enjoys affection, comes when called, and is happy to spend time with her people between bursts of activity. She`s interested in treats and seems eager to learn, even if she`s still working on mastering `sit.` Every great student starts somewhere!One of Lucy`s most charming features is her adorable patchy tongue, which somehow makes her expressive face even more memorable. She`s currently carrying a few extra pounds, but with regular exercise and a healthy routine, her athletic spirit is sure to shine through.If you`re looking for a fun-loving, active companion with a big personality, a unique smile, and enough enthusiasm to keep life interesting, Lucy is ready to be your new adventure buddy.Lucy has participated in shelter playgroups and may enjoy a compatible canine friend in her new home.  Looking for a buddy for your dog?  Bring him/her to the shelter for a meet and greet and see if we`re a match!  Check out her playgroup video here:To meet me, visit the Bradshaw Animal Shelter Tuesday-Sunday, Noon - 5:00 pm, Wednesdays, Noon - 6:00 pm. All adoptions are on a first-come, first-served basis. To help expedite the meet and greet process, please make note of my Animal ID number, and those of other dogs you might be interested in meeting. Be sure to bring your ID with you, too. We are located at 3839 Bradshaw Road, Sacramento. I look forward to getting to know you!

Story
Our sweet 5-year-old German Shepherd is looking for a home that better fits his needs. He has been part of our family since he was 8 weeks old, so this is not an easy decision for us. About a year ago we moved to a property where he became obsessed with chasing lizards and bees. After talking to dog trainers we’ve realized he would thrive better in a different environment. He is incredibly loving, loyal, and has a huge heart. He absolutely loves cuddling and would do best with older children or a teenager who wants a best friend to hang out with on the floor. We have 3 very small children, and while he has NEVER shown aggression, he is a big dog and sometimes accidentally knocks them over. He has had thousands of dollars of professional training and is very well behaved overall. We are happy to provide all medical records to the right home.
