Seamus (‘Shay-mus’) is a captivating 2 year old black German Shepherd mix weighing 85 solid pounds. Despite his formidable appearance, he has a tender soul and wears his heart on his sleeve dearly hoping to be embraced. This guy is highly social and won’t hesitate to say hello to any human or canine he sees. On initial greetings, he tends to invite himself into other dogs’ bubble without permission, but will rapidly adapt to their protest with humble submission, only to try again with a more subtle approach. Guidance from his human will help him to develop patient social skills which is important given his large size. Once he feels comfortable, Seamus reveals his goofy nature and finds himself engaging in bouts of chase and play. In the home setting, Seamus falls right into place. He spends much of his time laying quietly near his human or on his dog bed, frequently enjoying a Nyla bone. He is not obsessed with toys, and will not hover to claim them. Instead, his needs are more focused on collecting gentle pets, belly rubs, and receiving words of admiration from his people. This boy has a puppy-personality and doesn’t seem to take life seriously. Call his name or share warm eye-contact and his tail will instantly wag in anticipation for ‘what’s next’?Seamus is currently undergoing treatment for Heartworm infection. Although this is a prolonged course that will require limited activity, he is tolerating it well and does not seem to bother his routine one bit. He is learning to enjoy car rides where he will lay calmly during his ride. This guy is also accustomed to using a dog door and willingly enters his crate at night for a sound night’s sleep. Few canines are as exceptionally affectionate and eager to please as this boy. He will fit into a family of structure and fun with grateful joy. Cats and small dogs unknownLevel 2

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. (Adoption Process) 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 or email us at info@gcgsr.org for more information.
