Opie

Age: One year
Gender: male
2 year-old Opie is one strong dude. He is learning to like other friendly dogs, but small dogs are not his favorite things. He will do best with someone who has the physical strength to manage him as well as substantial experience with German Shepherds.

Opie was found eating from a trash heap in Riverside, CA.  It was obvious that he had been on his own for a while when kind residents took him in.  Opie had no collar or tags or chip and all efforts to reunite him with his previous family have been unsuccessful.  When it was apparent that Opie was shelter-bound, GSROC squeezed him into our life raft.

However, he is a very strong guy and he has not yet fully matured.  For that reason, we recommend a home that is experienced with german shepherds and able to provide him with the limits and structure he craves.   Small dogs are not for this boy, but other friendly large dogs may be a good fit.

Our volunteers are working with him to help him polish his doggy social skills.  He has a strong will and believes he knows the best way to do things.  He needs a firm leader who will teach him his place in the pack. He has lots of energy and is looking for an active family.

Adoption Donation for All Dogs and Puppies:

$495

This donation is tax-deductible as allowed by law and helps to offset the costs that we have incurred for the dog’s care and housing during his or her stay with our group. The minimum adoption donation does not entirely cover the investments that we have made in the dogs, so if you are in a position to give more, we would be honored to receive your additional donation. All adoption donations go directly toward the needs of our dogs.

All dogs adopted through GSROC are spayed or neutered, current on their vaccines and de-wormed. Because the minimum Adoption Donation rarely covers the costs associated with each dog, we ask that adopters who are in a position to give additional funds do so at their discretion.
