d Express 3rd Saturday, Modesto - PetSmart 4th Saturday, Roseville - Pet Food Express Please visit the GCGSR Rescue Page for specific address information. Adoption Fee $300 Ciri is a petite little blondie who came into rescue underweight at 52 lbs. Her small stature will hopefully be beneficial during the healing process – she had bilateral hip fractures that will require a double femoral head ostectomy (FHO). She has already had the first surgery and came through it like a champ. We will be working with UC Davis to get her second surgery scheduled, so she will be fully on the path to recovery soon. She can complete her recovery in her adoptive home- she was a model patient and was easy to keep her inactive while she was healing. She is a young girl – probably around three years old and active- Her hips don’t appear to slow her down much. This adorable little nugget is an absolute cuddle bug, both with her humans and her foster pack. She is living with three older German Shepherds and loves their company, although she would likely prefer more playful pack mates! She is also living with cats – she does not try to harm them but is very curious and tries to engage in play, so they tend to avoid her! She is silly, playful, and a joy to be around. Ciri uses a doggie door to let herself in and out, and she will sleep in a crate or on a dog bed in her foster mom’s bedroom. Initially, the car made her very nervous, but now she looks forward to going on an outing so she will tolerate the uncertain mode of transportation! Social situations seem new to her, but she quickly warms up to her new surroundings and trusts that her foster mom will show her a good time! Walking on leash also seems new to her, but she is small and easy to manage while she is learning, and she is not reactive to other dogs she meets. Ciri is very affectionate and has really enjoyed the pets and visits from children at our adoption days. This busy little girl will need an active home that provides structure and continued training to manage her curious nature, energy, and allow her to enjoy her new lease on life! May be ok with a dog-savvy cat, other small critters unknown. Level 2 Understanding Dog Levels Please be sure you understand what a dog of this Level requires.

(.gcgsr/adopt_info.html) 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.
