Rachel

My story

Sex: FemaleBreed: German Shepherd Estimated Date of Birth : 09/03/2023We love our shepherds here and the beautiful Rachel was hard to resist. We rescued both Rachel and her brother from the Lancaster shelter. Such great dogs her brother, Ross, was quickly adopted but Rachel has lingered a bit in our care. Rachel is everything we love about shepherds. A sensitive soul she’s incredibly gentle and sweet. She’s also the perfect energy for our Pawsitive Change program at Tehachapi State prison. The guys are going to love her kind nature and the training she receives will give her the confidence boost she needs to hopefully be adopted. Shepherds are fantastic dogs but sadly our California shelters are overrun with them. Dozens fill public shelter kennels. Rachel was an owner surrender and sat for a month with no adoption or rescue interest. With so many other shelter shepherds vying for homes she stood little chance of making it out alive. No interest is a guaranteed way to end up on the euthanasia list and she needed a quick exit. We were thankful we had room and could get her out and give her the chance she needed in Pawsitive Change. Rachel has quickly settled in and also quickly become a staff and prison favorite…we all do really love our shepherds! We’d love to see her in shepherd loving home where she can be part of the family and never find herself surrendered again. If you’re looking for a fabulous shepherd consider giving Rachel the forever home she’s been waiting for.
