Sid is a 3 month-old mostly black and tan German shepherd male puppy who came from a local shelter so there is not much known about his past. He is a spunky boy who will let you know he has something to say, when he wants attention or to let you know he's being squished. He is working on house manners. He does sleep well in the crate and has a basic understanding of sit. He loves to play with his foster siblings or to chew on the next squeaky toy. When it comes to cats, he is curious and wants to play so dog savvy cats would be best to teach him boundaries. Sid would do well in a home with another dog to learn the ropes on being a good puppy citizen. More to come as we get know him better.Small critters unknown.Level 2

Additional Adoption Information

For more information and to see when this dog will be attending an Adoption Day, please see our Dogs page on our main website. (Adoption Process) We operate within a reasonable driving distance from the Greater Sacramento area, the Central Valley down to Merced, and Lake Tahoe. A reasonable driving distance is determined by where one of our volunteers is willing to drive within our areas of service. That means we don't adopt out of our area, to Southern California, or out of state.

Puppy Requirements

We have special Requirements for Adopting a Puppy and a separate Puppy Questionnaire that must be completed on puppies. Please see our Requirements for Adopting a Puppy or email us at info@gcgsr.org for more information.
