Story

We fostered Martok shortly before adopting him two years ago. We adopted him as a puppy and put in well over $4,000 in training for him. He is a lovely dog that needs a family that can cuddle and give him a good amount of playtime. He is medium energy, loves walks in our quiet suburban neighborhood and is always looking to his handlers for validation and play. He was born May 1st 2023, and was adopted as a 12 week old Puppy at Front Street Animal Shelter in Sacramento. Martok was raised around a house cat, and has no issues and shows no interest with even outdoor cats or his previous cat-roommate. Martok has been around other dogs in daycare/bath and for walks and shows little to no interest outside of saying -hello- with his tail wags. He knows a plethora of commands due to his training including: sit, place, heel, touch (nose), shake, and is trained to use a metal bell by the door to signal he needs to go outside by bopping it with his nose.

Story

Meet Bonavita! Bonavita is a girl on a mission—curious, bright, and always ready to explore the world around her. She’s easy to leash up, and once she steps outside, her excitement really shines. When she gets enthusiastic, she can be a bit jumpy, so she’ll benefit from some structured training—but with her smarts and eagerness to learn, she’ll pick it up quickly.Out on walks, Bonavita is cautiously curious about other dogs and stays very aware of her surroundings. She already knows “sit” and takes her treats like a pro, which makes training both fun and rewarding for her.Bonavita loves to be engaged. Exploring new scents, checking out her environment, and enjoying a good head massage—those are her happy moments. She’s the kind of dog who would thrive with a job, a routine, or an active lifestyle that keeps her mind and body busy. This beautiful young dog was a little shy at first, but has blossomed into a happy, playful pup. She loves people and can be very entertaining with her silly antics. Bonavita will make you smile and laugh every day :)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.

Story

Adoption Event Schedule Events run from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM every month at these locations: 2nd Saturday, Sacramento - Pet Food Express 3rd Saturday, Modesto - Strand Hardware Store 4th Saturday, Roseville - Pet Food Express Please visit the GCGSR Rescue Page for specific address information. All of our dogs are in foster homes and not in one single kennel location. Adoption events is the best way to meet several of our dogs at once. Cadence (‘Cadie’), an eye-catching 1 year old Black and Tan female weighing approximately 80 lbs. True to her breed, this girl possesses many of the Shepherd characteristics that have made their mark in the canine world. Beauty, confidence, and keen curiosity are some of the traits that make her unique in the crowd. Cadie is a young affectionate gal who is quickly figuring out her role in the world. When she first arrived at her foster home, new encounters were rather daunting such as navigating stairs, dog beds, or entering a vehicle. When strangers arrived, she kept her distance by retreating outside where she could observe from afar. Within a short period of time, she has become accustomed to her new routines, although ongoing socialization will be essential for her development. Cadie has impeccable house manners and waits patiently home alone for her human to return (note: she will bury all her chew bones with pride). Her youth does come with playful bursts of jumping, puppy mouthiness, and competitive toy-snatching. Although she is learning inhibition, given her large size, she would do best in a home without young children. In the company of other dogs, Cadie will claim the spotlight and will not hesitate to make her presence known to all. She tries hard to seek playful interactions even if not invited. Because of her spirited energy, this can be overwhelming to other dogs. Supervision and monitoring will be necessary to teach her social etiquette and appropriate boundaries. In the home setting, she will proudly elect herself as ‘Chief Hallway Monitor’ and attempt to direct other canines away from her person, place, or valuable items. With consistent corrections and persistent reminders from her people, she will relinquish this duty to her human so she can simply chill back and relax. A canine partner that rolls with these tendencies under strong human leadership will create an ideal family mate. This girl enjoys daily walks where she has learned to ignore distractions along the way. She is eager for car adventures where she will wait calmly when needed. This girl is housebroken, comfortable using a dog door, and enters her crate where she sleeps quietly through the night. Cadie is a formidable companion with a dedicated heart to join a loving family who can provide the guidance and leadership she deserves. Small dogs and cats unknown Level 3 Understanding Dog Levels Please be sure you understand what a dog of this Level requires. Go to our home page for an explanation of the Dog Rating Levels.
