Adoption Fee: $300 Athena is an extra large Sable girl about 4 to 5 years old. She was found abandoned in a rural area with a bed and bag of dog food. She was taken to a local shelter and pulled into rescue from there. Nothing else is known of her background. Athena is a very large and in charge kind of girl, very typical for a mature female German Shepherd. She knows basic commands, sit, down, here, shake, and seems to be housebroken. She is tolerant of other large dogs but seeks human companionship over the company of other dogs. She could easily be the only dog for most households. Athena likes to play ball and stays fairly close to her person. She readily jumps in the car for rides and has been trustworthy not to chew on anything when left alone. She is a fairly active girl who requires a little exercise each day and settles nicely afterward. Cats and small critters unknown Athena is a level 3 Understanding Dog Levels Please be sure you understand what a dog of this Level requires.

(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 [email protected] for more information. Thank you for visiting!
