Story

Ringo is a 4-year-old German Shepherd mix who was adopted as a puppy from the SF SPCA. He is a loyal, loving, and happy dog who thrives with structure, activity, and plenty of affection. He enjoys two walks a day and a weekly play-group outing, and he settles in well at home during the work day (8–9+ hours). He has been wonderful with the child in his home, though he can be protective when new visitors enter our home. He may jump when unfamiliar people come inside or move in for a hug, but he’s friendly once someone greets him and says hello. On walks, Ringo may bark or lunge at unfamiliar dogs—especially larger dogs—or at runners who pass too closely, though he does very well with dogs and people he knows. Ringo is smart, trainable, and happiest in a calm home with adults or older kids, ideally with adopters who understand or have experience with active working dogs. His family is relocating in 2026 and hopes to find him a loving, stable home where he can continue to thrive.

Story

Fin (Finnegan or Fingolfin) could be your next best adventure buddy. Fin is approximately 3 years old. He is a White German Shepherd husky mix. He is a very loyal boy who would benefit from an active person or couple who are confident with dogs. Fin would be the perfect companion to someone who enjoys the outdoors. He is a great running buddy (he is so fast!) and he would likely make a great cycling buddy with some training. Fin is adventurous and curious, but also sweet and empathetic. He is great with kids based on his foster history. Fin would likely thrive in a home where he gets attention, but he is okay to be left alone during the day if he is exercised properly. Fin is highly intelligent – so far, he is really enjoying games like hide and seek (he caught on instantly), and puzzles! He is highly trainable and wants to please his human companions. We want him to go to a home where he is given the proper exercise, stimulation, training, and love. He has so much potential – now he just needs the right family! Fin wants to be the best boy and is looking for his forever home with someone who will take him on all the best adventures! Is that person you? Fin was scheduled to be euthanized in California due to shelter capacity and an easily treatable illness. He is all clear medically and is in great health. Fin has a joie de vie that is infectious. He just wants to be a good boy and have fun every day. We love him so much and we know you will too!

Story

Junior is a handsome cream-colored shepsky with a gentle soul and just the right sprinkle of puppy charm. He may still be young, but he’s already showing what a well-mannered, thoughtful boy he’s going to be. Junior is crate trained and potty trained, and he does great with his routine — happily heading outside to do his business and then returning calmly to his crate. He’s still getting the hang of leash walking, but he’s improving and taking it all in stride. Outside, Junior likes to do his own thing, exploring at his own pace with curiosity and confidence. At home, he’s the perfect balance of playful and relaxed. Junior loves to play and soak up affection, but he also knows when it’s time to wind down. When things are calm, you’ll find him happily chewing on a bone or entertaining himself with his toys. He has a wonderful ability to respect boundaries and settle himself, which makes him a joy to have around. Junior would thrive in a home that’s ready to guide a young dog as he continues to grow, learn, and blossom. With his loving nature, good habits, and sweet personality, he’s ready to be someone’s loyal companion and best friend.

Athena

German Shepherd Dog Husky

Female, 3 yrs

Novato, CA

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Story

Athena is a beautiful brown-and-black shepsky with a petite shepherd build and the sweetest, most gentle heart. From the moment she arrived, she showed just how loving and soft-natured she is, warming up quickly and happily leaning into affection and companionship. Athena is wonderfully well-mannered and eager to please. She already knows sit, paw, and up, and she’s both crate trained and potty trained. She does an excellent job going outside to take care of her business and then calmly returning to her crate, making her routine easy and stress-free. When it comes to activity, Athena is full of joyful energy and absolutely loves to play. She could happily spend her days running, romping, and engaging with her people or canine friends. At the same time, she has a great off switch — when it’s time to relax, she settles beautifully, chewing on her bones or entertaining herself with toys. Athena is also fantastic on leash and truly enjoys her evening walks, whether she’s strolling with the pack or heading out one-on-one for some quality time. She respects boundaries well, is incredibly sweet and submissive in nature, and brings a calm, loving presence to the home. Athena would thrive in a home that’s ready to enjoy her playful spirit while appreciating her gentle, well-balanced temperament. She’s the kind of dog who fits seamlessly into family life and is ready to give her whole heart to the people lucky enough to call her theirs.
