My story

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 - PetSmart 4th Saturday, Roseville - Pet Food Express Please visit the GCGSR Rescue Page for specific address information. Adoption fee: $300 Raven is a 3-year-old Belgian Malinois. She came from a shelter very underweight and with 10 one-month-old puppies, which are now old enough to find their own homes.   She has been diagnosed with EPI (Endocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency). It requires her food be soaked in an enzyme to help her digest food. Since this change in diet, she has gained weight and is at her ideal weight of 80 lbs.   She is pet dog material, with less mouthiness and energy than a working Malinois would have. She gets a little mouthy when excited or happy, occasionally giving little air snaps typical of Malinois. Because of this, a home with older kids or adults only is recommended. She has a medium energy level, which may increase as her health continues to improve.   Raven is a luv-bug! She leans in for pets, and prefers affection over playing fetch. Little tugs at clothes might be given if she feels neglected in the love department. She has no training, but is becoming accustomed to her new indoor life without puppies pestering her.   She does well with male dogs. No cats or small critters for her though.    Raven is a level 3, requiring a home with Shepherd or Malinois experience.     Understanding Dog Levels 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. (https://www.gcgsr.org/dogs.html#levels)  Additional Adoption Information For more information and to see when this dog will be attending an Adoption Day, please see our Dogs page on our main website. (https://www.gcgsr.org/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. Please see our Requirements for Adopting a Puppy (https://www.gcgsr.org/puppies.html) email us at info@gcgsr.org for more information. Thank you for visiting! April 26, 2025, 8:18 pm

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Raven, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
