Description
Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog (medium coat). Adoption Fee: 300.00. Adoption Event Schedule Events run from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM every month at these locations: 2nd Saturday, Sacramento - Pet Food Express 3rd Saturday, Modesto - Strand Hardware Store 4th Saturday, Roseville - Pet Food Express Please visit the GCGSR Rescue Page for specific address information. 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. Koda is a 5 year old black and red German Shepherd. He came into rescue when there was a change in his living arrangements, and a new baby in the house. Koda was very loved, cared for, and trained by his previous owners. He knows over a dozen commands, has been well socialized in busy, crowded setting. He is also housebroken, crate trained, and rides well in the car. Koda is off leash reliable and neutral with other dogs. Koda loves to play fetch, and use his nose to find hidden objects. His foster mom has referred to him as " a searching machine". He has moderate to higher energy, and is definitely happiest when he is doing a task such as searching or obedience. Koda is affectionate, treat and praise motivated, and seeks to please his handler. He is looking for a home with previous working dog experience and ideally someone who is already in the sport dog/searching field. He has no bite training, and would not be a candidate for such work, but would be an excellent hobby nosework/ detection dog. Cats and small critters unknown.

Overview:
The German Shepherd Dog, a truly iconic breed, originated in Germany in the late 19th century, primarily for herding sheep. They are easily recognizable by their athletic, medium-to-large build, typically weighing between 50-90 pounds, with a distinct double coat that can be black and tan, sable, or solid black. Known for their intelligence and loyalty, German Shepherds possess a remarkably trainable and courageous temperament, making them exceptional working dogs in fields like police and service work. While generally good with families when properly socialized, their high energy levels and need for mental stimulation make them unsuitable for apartment living without significant daily exercise. Prospective owners should be aware of common health concerns such as hip and elbow dysplasia, as well as degenerative myelopathy, underscoring the importance of responsible breeding and regular veterinary care.
