Story

Bandit Bandit is a soft-hearted pup with a gentle soul. He loves to snuggle and would happily choose cozy indoor time over running laps any day. He’s very sensitive and will let you know if he gets a tiny “ouchie,” which only adds to his charm. Bandit is incredibly sweet, tender, and affectionate — the kind of dog who melts into you and makes you feel needed. Bandit is doing great with house manners. He is potty trained, knows how to use a doggie door, and has started learning basic commands like sit and stay. He is around cattle and chickens on a daily basis and has had some exposure to a cat, giving him valuable experience with other animals. ##2656094##

Story

Blackjack: ~2 Years old male German Shorthaired Pointer/German Shepherd Mix 75 pounds Neutered Background: This young dog was found roaming the streets of Fairfield in early 2024. The finder notified the local animal control and made "found dog" postings but no one came to claim him. The finder decided to hold onto him during his stray hold period and contacted us for help finding him a new home. We shifted Blackjack to a Lab Rescue foster home in mid-2024. What Blackjack's Foster Says: Blackjack is a handsome ~2-year-old Lab-looking German Shepherd/German Shorthaired Pointer mix who’s 75 pounds of energy, affection, and fun. He may not be a Labrador Retriever, but Blackjack is one-of-a-kind! This resilient, affectionate, and fun-loving boy has all the makings of a devoted family member and is ready to be your next adventure buddy. With a little time and patience, Blackjack will reward you with endless love and companionship. Outdoor Adventurer: Blackjack loves to run, play, and explore. Whether it’s chasing squirrels, splashing in the kiddie pool, fetching rocks, or enjoying the fresh air, he’s happiest with plenty of room to stretch his legs. Big Personality: Equal parts goofy and sweet, Blackjack will keep you laughing with his antics and melt your heart with his loyalty. Morning belly rubs are his favorite way to start the day! Adventurer in Training: He is eager to go on walks, though he’s still refining his leash manners. With slow introductions, Blackjack enjoys meeting new people and dogs. Trips to Home Depot are a favorite—he loves exploring new sights and smells! Smart and Eager to Learn: This bright boy responds well to structure and consistency. He’s ready to shine with a committed owner who will guide him. What Blackjack's Rescue Rep Says: Blackjack is searching for an experienced dog owner who can offer him a loving home with the structure, patience, and training he needs to thrive. He’d do well in a suburban or rural setting with plenty of space to run, where he can fully enjoy outdoor adventures and live his best life. He’d also thrive with another dog or kids to play with, but he’s not a fit for first-time dog owners, a home with cats, or urban living. Despite his rough start, Blackjack has blossomed into a loving, loyal dog with so much to offer. He’s smart, eager to learn, and ready to be the heart of your home. If you’re ready to welcome an affectionate, energetic, and loyal companion into your life, Blackjack is waiting to meet you. If you think this amazing dog might be the one for you, reach out to learn more about him and arrange a meeting. Blackjack can’t wait to find his forever family! Medical: In great health. Current on vaccinations, heartworm negative, microchipped, and neutered. Located In: Placerville (totally worth the drive) If you want to adopt Blackjack, please contact Rescue Rep Dave at david.c.ely@sbcglobal.net.

Story

Meet GeraldGerald is a 9-year-old, 65-pound German Shorthaired Pointer with a goofy streak and a big love for people. He’s the kind of dog who makes you smile—especially when he’s trotting around with a stuffed animal or eagerly dropping a ball at your feet for one more throw. Gerald has settled into his foster home well. The first few days were a bit overwhelming for him and he was understandably cautious, but he’s quickly found his footing and is showing his easygoing, affectionate personality. He loves attention, especially chin rubs, and is happiest when he’s included in whatever you’re doing. Despite being a senior, Gerald still enjoys staying active. He gets a daily walk and loves playing chase and fetch—seriously, fetch is a favorite. He brings the ball back, lets you take it, and is ready to go again until your arm gives out. He could benefit from a bit more structured exercise, which will help keep both his body and mind happy. In the house, Gerald is doing well with his manners. He’s house-training nicely and he lets his people know when he needs to go outside. He stays inside the home when left alone and is currently comfortable being on his own for up to four hours. He’s still adjusting to spending time alone, and continues to improve. Gerald knows how to sit and is learning “stay.” On leash, he’s a tall, strong boy and is working on reducing pulling—he’s already making progress. One thing to know about Gerald is that he is very food motivated and can be a bit obsessed with food. In his foster home, he has shown some treat guarding around the resident female dog, which may be related to past hunger or uncertainty. Because of this, he would do best as a solo dog or with a well-matched canine companion and an experienced owner who can manage feeding and treat time thoughtfully. Gerald loves people of all ages and has done well with children ranging from 9 and 11 years old to teenagers. He’s friendly meeting other dogs and likes to say hello. He is not a fit for a home with cats. Gerald would thrive in a home that appreciates a slightly goofy, affectionate GSP who still enjoys playtime but also knows how to relax and enjoy the comforts of home and humans. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who loves fetch, people, and being part of the family, Gerald may be your guy. Our adoption process begins with our adoption questionnaire: https://norcalgsprescue.org/adoption-questionnaire/ (Please note that we adopt primarily within Northern California and our minimum age for kids is 6) If you'd like to see what Gerald's been up to, check out his posting in the Available Foster Dogs section: https://norcalgsprescue.org/available-dogs/.

Story

Meet Riff—also known as “Woody”—a handsome, 3-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer with a big heart, a playful spirit, and the sweetest, most affectionate nature you could ask for! Weighing in at 68 pounds, Riff is everything people adore about the GSP breed: energetic, affectionate, and happiest when he’s with his people. He’s a classic “velcro dog” who will gladly stick by your side whether you’re heading out for an adventure or just relaxing at home. And yes—he’s already mastered one very important skill: looking absolutely adorable at all times! He’s kind, loving, and incredibly people-oriented—he adores everyone he meets, from adults to kids, and has even been gentle and respectful with a young toddler. He’s especially fond of his people and lives for cuddle time just as much as he enjoys playtime. If you’re looking for a dog who will be both your adventure buddy and your snuggle companion, Riff is your guy. Riff is also wonderfully social with other dogs. He’s lived harmoniously with multiple dogs of different ages and genders and happily welcomed even more visiting pups into the mix. He would truly thrive in a home with another friendly dog to play with and keep him company. This smart boy is a fast learner who genuinely wants to please. He’s already house-trained (about 98% and doing great!) and picked it up in just about a week—pretty impressive! He knows “sit” and “leave it,” and is making great progress on “down” and “off.” Like many young, energetic dogs, he’s still working on his manners—he can get excited and jump up to say hello—and he’s eager to learn and improves quickly with consistency and positive reinforcement. Riff does have a few things he’ll need help with in his new home. He’s very strong on leash and doesn’t yet have polished leash manners, so continued training will be important. He also isn’t a fan of the crate and can be resistant to going in, though he settles nicely when left loose in a safe space for short periods. He’s generally calm when left alone and will happily nap on the bed. As a typical GSP, Riff has an active side! He benefits from daily exercise and thrives with a mix of play and activity—think fetch, yard zoomies, and squirrel-chasing sessions. He currently enjoys 1–2 hours of active play each day (broken into shorter sessions), plus additional yard time. Without enough activity, he may entertain himself by chewing on soft, fuzzy items—so keeping him engaged is key. Riff is looking for a home with: A large, securely fenced yardAnother playful dog companionAn active family committed to ongoing training and exerciseRiff is truly a special dog—affectionate, gentle, social, and eager to bond. His foster describes him as one of the easiest dogs they’ve ever had and can’t understand why he hasn’t been scooped up yet. Everyone who meets him falls in love. If you have the space, a canine companion, and the willingness to continue his training, Riff will reward you with endless loyalty, love, and companionship. He’s ready to make someone incredibly happy—could that someone be you? Our adoption process begins with our adoption questionnaire: https://norcalgsprescue.org/adoption-questionnaire/ (Please note that we adopt primarily within Northern California and our minimum age for kids is 6) If you'd like to see what Riff's been up to, check out his posting in the Available Foster Dogs section: https://norcalgsprescue.org/available-dogs/.

Story

Meet Merlin. He’s a bold and big-hearted senior who’s ready to barrel into your life with all the enthusiasm of a dog half his age. Personality and Temperament: Merlin has presence. He’s not a wallflower—he’s a personality. Despite having zero formal training when he came into rescue, he picked up house routines quickly and figured out a tricky set of hardwood stairs entirely on his own. He’s smart, he’s social, and once he decides you’re his person, you’ll feel it. Daily Life & Good Stuff: Merlin is still very much an active dog. He tears around the yard on enthusiastic sniff patrol, loves a good car ride, and is always up for more adventure. He’s food-motivated and a quick study when it comes to new routines. Give him a yak chew and a yard to explore, and he is one happy dog. He sleeps and eats in his crate comfortably and has adapted well to home life. Other Dogs and Animals: Merlin has been a great housemate to his foster siblings and gets excited when it’s time to head outside together. He approaches other dogs calmly and has been easy to integrate into a multi-dog home. Training & Skills: Merlin came to rescue with no prior training and didn’t even know his name, but don’t let that discourage you because he learns fast. He does best with structure and supervision indoors to help with housetraining, and since he’s deaf, visual cues and a tap for attention are his love language. The Ideal Home for Merlin: Merlin would thrive with a somewhat active family who will laugh at his goofy personality, has a well-fenced yard, and can give him the companionship and movement he still very much craves. Older? Sure. Slowing down? Absolutely not. Merlin is a strong, goofy, loving dog who has so much left to give—he just needs the right family to give it to. If you’re looking for a dog with gusto, personality, and a heart as big as his enthusiasm for life, Merlin is your guy. Our adoption process begins with our adoption questionnaire: https://norcalgsprescue.org/adoption-questionnaire/ (Please note that we adopt primarily within Northern California and our minimum age for kids is 6) If you'd like to see what Merlin’s been up to, check out his posting in the Available Foster Dogs section: https://norcalgsprescue.org/available-dogs/.
