Story
Bruce (A239275) is a handsome one-year-old German Shepherd who weighs 85 pounds—and he is still very much a big puppy at heart.Bruce was adopted from us in June and recently returned. From what we understand, he was a young dog who got himself into some mischief. German Shepherds are intelligent, active working dogs who need daily exercise, mental stimulation, training, and plenty of time with their people. With the right structure and commitment, Bruce has tremendous potential to become an amazing companion.Before returning to the shelter, Bruce lived both indoors and outdoors with adults, teenagers, and children. He reportedly got along with other dogs as well.Now that Bruce is back at the shelter, it is clear that he is a lot of dog—strong, energetic, and eager to get moving. Several volunteers have noticed that he pulls very strongly on the leash when leaving the shelter for a walk. After about five minutes, however, the intensity decreases, and he settles in more comfortably.Bruce enjoys toys, cuddles, and giving kisses. He appears to know “sit” and will offer his paw. Beneath all that youthful energy is a sweet, affectionate dog who wants to connect with his people.Bruce needs an adopter who understands German Shepherds and is ready to make a meaningful commitment to exercise, training, structure, and mental enrichment. The time and patience invested in a young dog like Bruce can lead to an incredible bond and a rewarding lifelong relationship.If you are ready for a smart, energetic, affectionate companion—and you enjoy the process of helping a dog learn and grow—Bruce may be the one for you. Please share his post and help us find the person who is ready to give Bruce the active, loving home he deserves.All adoptions are first come first serve Adoptions Hours:Tues - Sat1pm - 4pm160 Hitchcock RoadSalinas, CAIf you are planning to adopt a dog and already own one, please bring your dog along to do a dog to dog meet & greet for compatibility.

Story
Jack is a gentle 5 year old German Shepherd. He loves his balls to play and enjoys room to run around outside. He comes in at night to sleep in my bedroom on a large dog bed that will come with him. Jack walks pretty good on a leash and doesn't pull. Due to medical issues I have , i cannot walk him . Jack does bark and dig holes in the yard possibly due to my inability to walk him. Jack eats 4 and 1/2 cups of food a day. I feed him twice a day. ( he is not a picky eater, although I make sure he gets vitamins and pro biotics) He also takes food very gently from your hand. Jack enjoys putting his ball in the swimming pool especially on warm days, and sitting on the first step of the swimming pool. Jack is a special big German Shepherd and is sweet natured. *He also has killed a gopher and doesn't like cats. He doesn't lick your face , he rarely does give you a lick at times.

I’ve had irie for 5 years now, she’s an amazing loving puppy, so sweet, loves cuddles, loves treats, loves walks. i had a baby two years ago & i moved out of my parents house, they have a ranch style home & i was moving into a tiny apartment so they kept her for me. my mom was just diagnosed terminal & is no longer able to care for irie, i feel horrible to rehome her but i do not have the means to take care of her how she deserves. she would love for someone to play with, she loves walks, she can be a little shy with new people but she’s always very kind, she’s an outdoor dog now but she was inside for 3 years with no accidents, she can do both, she loves to guard the backyard so you’ll always feel protected but she is the sweetest baby

Story
She is the best girl. Great with kids, great with dogs of all sizes. A GREAT family dog. She has been my baby for years but unfortunately I can no longer care for her the way she needs. She needs a yard or active people that will run with her. She needs exercise and time outside. No food aggression. Big snuggler. She LOVES roadtrips and is great in the car. No rehoming fee. Just want her to be happy. She’s scared of trash trucks but hasn’t once been scared of nippy little dogs like she should. She just wants to play. She plays gentle with kids but wants to roughhouse with adults. Thats my fault for wrestling with her for 6 years. I would prefer she go to a home that has either children or other dogs.

Marla: Your Affectionate and Playful Companion! 1 year spayed female  Hi, I'm Marla, a gorgeous 1-year-old, spayed German Shepherd mixed with Husky  ready to join your family! I'm a big girl with an even bigger heart, and I'm looking for a home that understands and embraces my fun-loving nature. What I love: Toys, Toys, Toys! I am obsessed with playing and will happily chase, fetch, or squeak any toy you offer. People and Pets: I am incredibly affectionate and love meeting new people. I'm also great with children, but because of my size and playful energy, they need to be respectful of my space (I recommend children over the age of 8 or 10, depending on their dog experience). Learning and Eating: I'm very food motivated and easy to train, making our time together fun and productive. I'm already good on a leash and ready for walks! A Few Things to Note: While I love humans, I do have a high prey drive. This means I need a home with no small dogs or "furry things" like cats, rabbits, or squirrels, as I simply can't resist the urge to chase them! If you're looking for a devoted, playful, and loyal companion who will fill your life with love and games, come meet me! I promise I'll be ready for you. Contact the foster today to schedule a meet-and-greet with Marla! Marla will thrive in a home that appreciates her intelligence and provides her with plenty of enrichment and training!
