German Shepherd Dog Husky

Male, 4 yrs 7 mos
Palo Alto, CA
Size

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Redding is a handsome boy who requires a home that can help establish boundaries for him. Redding is house-trained and enjoys car rides, playing fetch, and playing in the water. He is also a regular in the shelter playgroups and does well with other dogs. Redding is a working dog who will benefit greatly from training and a savvy adopter or foster. He is two years old and is likely a Shepherd/Husky mix. Please help us save Redding by sharing his story. Observation comments: It takes time to familiarize and gain trust, so a slow introduction is recommended. This animal requires an experienced handler. It does not do well with sudden human approaches from all directions during the first meet-and-greet. Summary: Due to its size and strength, kids need to be supervised around the dog. This animal requires some space for himself, so do not approach without permission from the animal. Attempting to socialize with this animal is safe at a short distance away without constant, straight eye contact. If this animal acknowledges you, he will approach you naturally and accept your invitation. Once that happens, you will be his best buddy for life! Redding has a hit-or-miss personality. His German Shepherd is a bit picky, but he plays well in the boarding facility playgroup and has been tested at our partnered local boarding club. His personality will change with a calm, quiet, loving home over time.

Story
Meet Sheldon, a gentle 8–9-year-old German Shepherd with a heart as big as his paws. He’s mostly calm, but he still loves a little playtime — and there’s nothing he enjoys more than a soothing massage when he’s feeling stressed. Sheldon is loyal, protective, and loves being around kids (he’s great with 9- and 11-year-olds). He gets along well with our male Golden, but he does not like cats. He will need a patient owner to continue his leash training, as he can be reactive on walks. He has spondylosis and sometimes needs reminders for potty breaks, but with love, care, and a nice yard to enjoy, Sheldon will reward you with endless loyalty, cuddles, and companionship. Sheldon isn’t just a dog — he’s a friend, a guardian, and a gentle soul looking for someone to devote their time and heart to him.

Story
Rumi has settled in beautifully in her foster home. She started her new life experience with morning stroller rides alongside the resident shepherds and, after receiving her booster vaccines, has confidently graduated to leash walks. Rumi enjoys car rides and relaxes comfortably in her pen when her family is away. When her playmates aren’t available, she keeps herself entertained and regularly spends time with the extended family's corgis while sharing her foster home with two resident shepherds. This smart girl quickly mastered the self-closing screen door to the backyard, making potty breaks a breeze. Keen to please, she responds well to kind coaching and redirection when needed. This adorable puppy sleeps soundly through the night, goes into her crate when asked, and settles in right away. She knows sit, down, and other household manners, making her a wonderful fit for a shepherd-loving forever home. As she’s grown, Rumi has graduated to a hot pink collar and leash and has chosen her favorite toys. Rumi is agile, confident in her body parts, and fun. She loves to zoom, leap over obstacles with a buddy in an alternating chase game, and have a blast. She needs time to assess her new environment and observe the other dogs before she joins the shenanigans and makes friends. Rumi bonds hard with a new person in a novel environment, like a relief foster home, and may ask resident dogs to step away from her new person. With clear yet gentle direction, she fits into the pack, and her behavior melts away. Her adopters should recognize that it stems from insecurity, providing the structure to ease her into their household and any resident dogs. She’ll do well with knowledge adopters and neutral dogs in the household. She integrated into an experienced shepherd household with 4 resident shepherds and a foster puppy within an afternoon, striving to please.  Rumi caught a ride to Sacramento for her scheduled spay, spending multiple days pre- and post-surgery at a multi-dog foster home near the hospital before catching a ride back to her San Jose foster home, and was a terrific little gal throughout her vet stay.  Rumi also visited Paws n Play Sacramento, where she met new people, socialized with Odie (a ShepHeroes alum), and settled into a busy training facility with lots of dogs eating lots of treats for good behavior.  Upon meeting Sparkles, the resident shop cat, Rumi showed us that she may not be cat-friendly. Rumi and her sister Lulu arrived safely at their foster homes thanks to Pilots and Paws, and we are so grateful for their support in getting these sweet puppies to safety so quickly. In their arrival photos, Rumi sports a bright red leash while Lulu wears a variegated one. Both girls were rescued from an orchard along with their littermates, where they bravely fended for themselves until help arrived. After receiving much-needed veterinary care, we were thrilled to welcome these three-month-old cuties into loving foster families! Once cleaned up from their time in the fields, Rumi and Lulu quickly revealed their affectionate natures and settled right in. Lulu has since found her forever family. Rumi is waiting for her perfect forever family—a home that will carry on the great work started by her foster families. She is ready for a future packed with love and happy moments.

Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Additional information about this animal is available as of August 10th, 2024. It will be provided to an interested party or rescue. Dog Day Out notes from last week: Today, I was so happy to get out of my kennel! I got to put on a collar and harness, and I got to go in a car!! I love the car! I wanted to help drive, but my new friends said I should eat cookies instead, so I looked out the window. I love going for walks! We walked a long way! I wanted to be in front, but my friends would stop, so I got to give them snuggles when they did that – I like snuggles more than cookies! We saw so many things! People and dogs and lots and lots of bikes! I don't worry about those things though, I have my friends! I almost tried to catch a squirrel, but it got away. That's okay; I gave more snuggles to my friends! Oh! And on the way back, I took a nap – I loved the quiet time. Three Words to Describe Me are affectionate – snuggly - and friendly. Notes from My Walker: Traviesa is such a delight! She pulls on the leash, but it seems like she just never got a chance to learn how to walk on a leash before. She did amazing on the busy trail – we saw bikes, walkers, and dogs, and she was non-reactive to almost everything. The small, barky dog got her attention, but he started talking first, and she displayed interest, with no reactive lunging or barking. She is not a cookie girl, but she LOVES to snuggle. We love it when dogs on the trail check in with their human friends, but Traviesa was at another level; she would stop and lean in for a hug before continuing the walk! She is a sweet, gentle, loving dog who deserves a home that will let her learn and give her the chance to be a fantastic companion dog.
