Moose - Are you ready for a dog that is polite and friendly? Got over his puppy behavior a few years back? If you have a busy life and/or work full-time, Moose is the kind of dog that you can enjoy without him demanding all of your time. He's an 8 year old male GSP who is happy to be an only dog but loves other dogs as well. Moose is great with people and kids of all ages. He likes walks and hikes, but can also kick back and take it easy. This boy is well-trained - he knows how to use the doggie door and has learned sit, heel, down, back it up, wait, and out! He only chases cats if they run, otherwise he gets along fine with them. Come meet Moose, you'll see what a sweetheart he is!

Junebug is a sweet 4 month old GSP mix puppy. GSP? English Pointer? Some of each? She is settling in to her foster home after a rough time in the shelter – we were told that she had distemper. After a number of days in isolation at the vet, her various tests came back negative for distemper (although it is possible that she is an asymptomatic carrier), and she is now in quarantine at her foster home. We’ll be watching her closely to see if she develops any other symptoms, but otherwise she’ll be spayed in early June and be ready for adoption after that.

In addition to our standard requirements, we will adopt Junebug only to families that are experienced with high energy breeds. We will also only place her in a home in Northern California. Gentle, respectful children in this home should be 8+ years old. If you are interested in Junebug and meet the above criteria, please fill out our Adoption Questionnaire. Our goal is to find the best match for both the puppy and the adoptive family. Applications will continue to be reviewed until a match is found.

Due to the high level of interest, please do not call us regarding Junebug. Only online applications will be considered.

Gunner is a 10 month old male GSP puppy who might be younger than the shelter estimated. He’s cute, energetic, and will do well at puppy class. Will do best with another energetic dog, no cats please.

Otto is a 13 month old male GSP male who acts much more like a puppy! He needs training and house manners. He is eager to learn and to please and will do best with an experienced GSP lover. His foster family tells us, “He is super with other dogs and is very gentle in a dangerous and wild sort of way. This will be the dog someone refers to as "The best dog I ever owned".” Children 6 and up, has not been tested with cats.

Shasta is a 6 year old female GSP who was surrendered to the shelter because of a divorce.  She lived with children originally and is being fostered with young children – and she loves to play with children!  Shasta gets along well with other dogs, but likes to chase and corner cats.  Her foster family tells us, “She is a wonderful dog.  My kids just love her.  They can play with her for hours.  Shasta and my GSP Zoe are like sisters and just love each other.  She will make a great addition to anyone’s family.”

Boomer is a handsome 8 year old male GSP who's a real sweetheart. He's playful, knows how to fetch, is very good on the leash and does well with off-leash recall. Boomer loves to ride in the truck, and has been found curled up asleep in the front seat or hanging out in the back of the truck, preferably on top of the tool box! He's in his glory when he gets to go along, and he's been to work with his foster dad. Boomer gets along well with other dogs, no cats please. Children 6 and up. He'll make a wonderful family friend!

Duante is an 11 year old male GSP who is VERY friendly, very smart and sweet. The sad part - his owner dropped him off at the shelter because Duante was getting depressed after his sibling died recently. The happy part - Duante is safely in his foster home where he loves to play fetch and be petted. He's food and praise motivated, knows sit, shake, and pee pee, and sleeps well in his crate at night. He loves to play "feed the chickens" with the other dogs in his foster home, and gets along fabulously with them. If you'd like a great family dog that doesn't require tons of attention but will soak it up when you have time to give it, come meet Duante.  Children 6 and up.

These pups are approximately 6 months old and were abandoned at the Marysville shelter. We believe they are mostly GSP but may have something else mixed in because three are black and white ticked, coloration that is not typical for GSPs in California. Two of their littermates succumbed to parvo at the shelter. They have also had mange, an easily treated non-contagious skin condition where the hair falls out. Two other littermates have already been adopted!

In addition to our standard requirements, we will adopt these puppies only to families that are experienced with high energy breeds. We will also only place them in homes in Northern California. Gentle, respectful children in these homes should be 8+ years old. If you are interested in these puppies and meet the above criteria, please fill out our Adoption Questionnaire. There will be a multiple-phase screening process. Our goal is to find the best match for both the puppy and the adoptive family. Applications will continue to be reviewed until all the puppies are matched with adoptive families.

Due to the high level of interest, please do not call us regarding the puppies. Only online applications will be considered.

Hendrix has been making great progress in his foster home! While it's unlikely that he'll walk normally, he has learned to stand up to eat, and gets himself around the house very well. He is gradually making improvements in his bowel and bladder control. Hendrix has been receiving rehabilitative therapy to help him develop strength and coordination. He's attending puppy class, and has learned sit, watch, touch, stay, leave it, take it, drop it, and is working on down and other commands. He is crate-trained.

When you meet Hendrix, you will fall in love with him. Despite his physical problems, he's good-natured, very affectionate, full of playful puppy energy, and incredibly intelligent and eager to learn. He loves kids, people, and dogs of all sizes. He'll do best in a home with another playful dog.

If you are prepared to help Hendrix reach his full potential, please fill out our Adoption Questionnaire. In addition to our standard requirements, we prefer a person or family that is experienced with high energy breeds and lives in Northern California. Gentle, respectful children should be 8+ years old. Our goal is to find the best match for both Hendrix and the adoptive family.
