Story
I just adopted this outstanding , beautiful , about as perfect a GS you could hope for. She just turned 7 on the 11th , but you would think she’s a 2 yr old. Excellent health . No hip issues. High energy . Very intelligent. Obedient . Eager to please. VERY LOVING! She is dog friendly , cat tolerant but I think a home with a large FENCED area and a dog close to her size (90lbs) as opposed to a small dog , would be best. She’s very playful and can be unintentionally rough with smaller dogs. Someone who can take her places and be active with her would make for a perfect companion. She’s been a little too rough with my Frenchie , steals his toys and thinks I’m her person and gets too possessive . Not mean. Not aggressive in a bad way but the size difference could be a situation waiting to happen . This is the reason I don’t think she’s going to work out in my situation. I’m amazed though at her qualities . She’s close to a 10 in GS standards. Seriously.

Story
Queen is loyal & devoted. She loved nothing more than being by her single elderly owner's side.. Sadly, the family abandoned her at a county shelter after her owner passed away.. Temporarily rescued, Queen urgently needs a foster home to escape immediate euthanasia upon return to the shelter. Queen gets jealous of other pets because she wants her human all to herself. Therefore, Queen MUST be the only pet in the home. To meet Queen, please contact Valerie at (530) 265-9009

Story
Ezri is a very sweet, intelligent, high energy dog. She loves to fetch and share in active play with her people. She was Born in February 2024, we got her as a puppy in April 2024. We have two young children, and full time jobs, which has resulted in our inability to give her as much time and attention she requires to thrive. She is a runner and needs space and freedom to use her energy. She has never been in a fight or been aggressive with kids, other dogs, or adults. Ezri is spayed and up to date on all her vaccinations (including rattlesnake vaccine) We are happy to provide vet history and miscellaneous supplies (collar, bowl, toys, etc).We are not requiring a rehoming fee as our only concern is that our sweet pup can find a new forever home where she can live a full happy life, loved and supported.
