Priya German Shepherd Dog Pleasant Grove, CA

"Priya" is an approx. 70-lb, 1½-yo spayed female GSD mix who is loving, lively and smart. She is very affectionate and loves to snuggle! Priya is healthy, up-to-date on core vaccinations, and microchipped.

Priya is very friendly with people of all ages, whether inside the house or out and about. She is well-mannered with guests and does not jump up on them. Priya did great with young children who visited her foster caretakers; she was affectionate and played well with them!

Priya is very social with other dogs. She spent several days at GSRSV's rescue ranch in mid-August and got along great with all the other dogs, even when she had to share my attention up on the bed. I took her to a friend's house with several small dogs and she was fine w/ them as well. She enjoys playing with other dogs that have a similar energy level.

Priya has not interacted with cats since we rescued her. Her body language when seeing cats from afar shows intensity, so her compatibility with cats will need further evaluation.

Priya is fully housetrained and has not had any accidents in her foster home. She is also non-destructive inside. Her foster caretakers keep her crated when her they are away and at night. Although she initially experiences mild separation anxiety while crated, she is not destructive.

On walks, Priya's eagerness to explore means she requires a handler who can continue her leash training. She is learning to check in with her handler and is steadily improving her leash manners. She has good recall when off-leash in the backyard, and likes to stay near her people.

Priya loves car rides and does great in the car. She hops right in and lays down calmly throughout the drive.

Priya loves all kinds of toys (ropes, balls, plush, etc.) and enjoys any playful interaction (chasing after the toys, tug-of-war, etc.). She also loves to romp around with her foster carertakers’ resident male GSD.

Priya was brought to the Stanislaus County Shelter as a stray on 5-24-24. She was scheduled to be euthanized in early July due to space constraints at the shelter, but her current foster caretakers stepped forward and offered to foster her for GSRSV—an offer I readily accepted. GSRSV rescued Priya on 7-10-24.

Priya is located in Orangevale. Her adoption fee is $300.
