German Shepherd Dog Dogs Available for Adoption in San Marcos, California

** EMERGENCY** COURTESY POST. NEW HOME NEEDED IMMEDIATELY

Meet Joy… she quickly needs a new home. There's nothing more joyful than saving a life, and that's exactly what you'll be doing when you bring home Joy, a stunning 7-year-old German Shepherd.

Joy was recently saved from a Southern CA shelter off the euthanasia list and her adopter was excited to bring her up to their northern California home. Very sadly, after her arrival, they determined that Joy is not the right match and they need to immediately rehome her as she’s not getting along with their dogs and they feel she’s best suited for a home seeking a sole canine companion.

Everyone who meets Joy sings her praises. The vet staff, her transporter and adopter share that Joy is a sweet, loving girl. She’s potty trained, knows basic commands (sit, shake, stay, down) and takes treats gently. Joy wants to be loved on and wants to love her people. Her adopter describes her as a great dog, but she would be best as the only dog vs. sharing a home with other pets. Her loving spirit will bring warmth and happiness to her new family. Joy is an intelligent and obedient dog. With her gentle nature, she is sure to fit seamlessly into her new home and bring endless love and loyalty to her adopters.

Weighing in at 133 lbs, Joy is carrying excess weight and would benefit from a new home dedicated to providing gentle exercise and a lean diet to help her achieve a healthy weight.

Joy is up to date on vaccines, freshly groomed, had her rabies, microchipped, and is spayed. Now, she needs the rightly matched home.

Joy needs you now. Please reach out if you can offer her the home she's urgently seeking.
