Story
FOSTER CARE!  Hi there! My name is Cinnamon and I'm a 1 year old, neutered, German Shepherd that weighs about 65lbs. I'm still a growing boy and could reach around 75lbs as an adult. My foster family says I'm a handsome boy that turns heads with my striking brown and blue heterochromatic eyes and sweet, endearing smile. Brimming with joy and endless enthusiasm, I bring happiness everywhere I go. My friendly and affectionate nature makes me the perfect canine companion. Always eager to be in close proximity to my human, I absolutely love cuddles and belly rubs! I am an expert at having fun. With oodles of energy, I like to play, play, and play! I'm looking for a family with an active lifestyle who can continue my obedience training. For more information about me, just ask Customer Service about Cinnamon! ID# A962746 From my foster family Cinnamon is the happiest, sweetest pup we've ever met— always trotting around with his tongue out and a big goofy grin. He loves other dogs, and the highlight of his day is making new friends or playing fetch at the park. He's very affectionate with people, especially when cuddles, belly rubs, or treats are involved! He'd be happiest with a family that has an active lifestyle, a yard, a/or other dogs to help him burn off his happy puppy energy! Since I’m not at the adoption center, you can make arrangements to meet me by emailing behavior@phs-spca.org You may also submit your fully completed Adoption Profile Form to behavior@phs-spca.org and a staff member will call you to conduct a phone interview before making an appointment to meet me in person.

REDDING

German Shepherd Dog Husky

Male, 4 yrs 6 mos
Palo Alto, CA
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
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.
