Cadence (‘Cadie’), an eye-catching 1 year old Black and Tan female weighing approximately 80 lbs. True to her breed, this girl possesses many of the Shepherd characteristics that have made their mark in the canine world. Beauty, confidence, and keen curiosity are some of the traits that make her unique in the crowd. Cadie is a young affectionate gal who is quickly figuring out her role in the world. When she first arrived at her foster home, new encounters were rather daunting such as navigating stairs, dog beds, or entering a vehicle. When strangers arrived, she kept her distance by retreating outside where she could observe from afar. Within a short period of time, she has become accustomed to her new routines, although ongoing socialization will be essential for her development. Cadie has impeccable house manners and waits patiently home alone for her human to return (note: she will bury all her chew bones with pride). Her youth does come with playful bursts of jumping, puppy mouthiness, and competitive toy-snatching. Although she is learning inhibition, given her large size, she would do best in a home without young children. In the company of other dogs, Cadie will claim the spotlight and will not hesitate to make her presence known to all. She tries hard to seek playful interactions even if not invited. Because of her spirited energy, this can be overwhelming to other dogs. Supervision and monitoring will be necessary to teach her social etiquette and appropriate boundaries. In the home setting, she will proudly elect herself as ‘Chief Hallway Monitor’ and attempt to direct other canines away from her person, place, or valuable items. With consistent corrections and persistent reminders from her people, she will relinquish this duty to her human so she can simply chill back and relax. A canine partner that rolls with these tendencies under strong human leadership will create an ideal family mate. This girl enjoys daily walks where she has learned to ignore distractions along the way. She is eager for car adventures where she will wait calmly when needed. This girl is housebroken, comfortable using a dog door, and enters her crate where she sleeps quietly through the night. Cadie is a formidable companion with a dedicated heart to join a loving family who can provide the guidance and leadership she deserves.

(.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.
