Adoption Event Schedule<br/><br/>Events run from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM every month at these locations:<br/><br/>2nd Saturday, Sacramento - Pet Food Express<br/><br/>3rd Saturday, Modesto - Strand Hardware Store<br/><br/>4th Saturday, Roseville - Pet Food Express<br/><br/>Please visit the GCGSR Rescue Page for specific address information.<br/><br/>All of our dogs are in foster homes and not in one single kennel location. Adoption events is the best way to meet several of our dogs at once.<br/><br/>Gidget is a 7- to 8-month-old black and tan German Shepherd female who came from a local shelter so there is not much known about her past. She is a shy girl who has trouble warming up to people, but dogs she would follow all day any day. She is on the smaller side but still has some growing to do. With her shy temperament it is hard to coax her outside to work on bathroom habits. However, whenever the opportunity arises, praise is highly given. She sleeps well in her crate at night once you're able to get her in. She can be very treat motivated once she figures out how good they taste and will sometimes do a sitting pose for them. With her shy temperament she has a tendency to stiff arm when picked but no other issues. It takes her awhile to warm up to folks and sniff their hand, but she will come around. She is working on leash manners and confidence so small short walks to build up her confidence would do her well. Gidget would do well in a home with another confident dog who can teach her the ropes and help come out of her shell more. She is a sweet girl who just needs time, love and attention and she will be your best companion. She will not do well with cats. Small dogs unknown.<br/><br/>Understanding Dog Levels<br/><br/>Please be sure you understand what a dog of this Level requires. Go to our home page for an explanation of the Dog Rating Levels.<br/><br/>Additional Adoption Information<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>Puppy Requirements<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>Thank you for visiting!
