 Riley
Are you looking for a puppy that will excel at any job? Wish you had a dog that would soak up all the love and attention you had to offer? Well, look no farther! Riley is your guy! Riley is a 6 month old neutered German Shepherd puppy, and he embodies everything people love about the breed: He's incredibly smart, loyal, eager to please, attentive, and has that puppy silliness and charm to go along with his breed's dashing good looks.
Riley loves to play ball, play with toys, play with his foster brother, play, play, play! He also loves to learn; in the week he's been at his foster home, he's learned to sit, wait, lay down, kennel up, and come--reliably! Highly food motivated, Riley will be a pleasure to train to the upper levels of obedience work, agility, herding, or any other fun dog sport he can share with his special person. He's great with people of all ages, and dogs of all sizes, and he's smart enough to learn to live with cats. Riley will thrive with a person who will give him the boundaries, attention and exercise all smart, curious puppies need. Are you ready for the dog of a lifetime? If so, fill out an application to meet Riley today! He won't last long!
Puppies are a ton of time, work, training, vet care and are a big commitment. Before adopting a puppy, consider whether you want to wake up multiple times at night for potty training and be home every four hours during the day to let your puppy out. Socialization and training are key at a young age. Dogs can live up to 15 years - are you in a position to provide a forever home for that long? Can you spend the time necessary to train and socialize a puppy? Don't pass over a more mature dog because you've heard they don't bond as quickly or that you can "raise" a puppy to be what you want. An adult dog proven with cats and children is a better bet than a puppy, and a lot less work for adopting families!

If you would like to meet one of our dogs, please read the following information. The first step is for you to fill out our online application. This is the starting point in adopting from SCGSR. We strive to keep our website current within 24 hours. If you see a dog on our site, it is most likely available. The more information you give us about your dog experience, your home, your fence, children and other pets, the better we can do to match you with one of our dogs. Keep in mind that we may be working with prior applicants, and be patient. We are all volunteers and we will try to respond within 72 hours.
Our adoption donations are tax deductible and range from $300 up. Rescuing dogs without public subsidies is expensive. If you don't want to pay our adoption donations, please consider adopting directly from a publicly sponsored shelter. SCGSR dogs will be spayed or neutered, current on vaccinations, and in most instances they will be microchipped. To those big hearted people willing to adopt older dogs or dogs with physical problems, we will work with you on adoption donation amounts.
The adoption process involves an application, a telephone interview, a meeting with our dogs and then a home and fence check. In certain cases photos of your house and yard may be substituted for a home check. SoCal Rescue typically does not adopt puppies outside of San Diego County, so that we can provide continued support to adopters as puppies grow up. Adult adoptions out of area will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
