Story
Sweet Goose is ready to fly into your heart! This adorable medium-sized pup, born on April 5, 2025, is as wonderful as she is resilient. Her microchip tells us a story - she was adopted as just a small puppy by at Stockton Animal Shelter. We don't know why she was found wandering all by herself at just 6 months old - mere months after being promised a forever home - but she's here safe with us until she finds her new family. Her love of people never wavered, but we hope she never has to experience a broken promise ever again. She currently weighs 40 lbs and is still filling out. Her breed mix is unknown, but her appearance has a Basenji-Boxer look. She is a unique beauty. She has the silliest little bouncy walk and is curious about everyone she meets. She plays very well with the dogs here at the shelter. She is already microchipped, vaccinated, and spayed. If you're ready to give this sweet girl the stable, loving home she deserves, please come meet her. $350 adoption fee. Please visit our website www.petsnpals.org to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs and cats.

Story
Meet Taro🧡, the captivating Shiba Inu boy 🦊 who has stolen hearts! This 3-year-old charmer weighs 18 pounds and boasts a gigantic personality that's typical of his breed. After being a stray and finding himself at the shelter, Taro faced challenges that included a redirection bite incident during a walk when a volunteer tried to comfort him amidst barking dogs, a situation that led to him being labeled 'Rescue Only' and placed on the euthanasia list. Fortunately, Alljoy4paws stepped in, saving his life from the brink of death. Now, let's dive into Taro's shelter notes and discover more about this delightful soul. Taro's notes highlight his alert and environmentally focused nature, accompanied by high energy levels and difficulty settling, which often makes him jumpy in his kennel. However, he leashes well and is non-reactive to other dogs outside. In the yard, Taro exudes independence, engaging more with toys and surroundings than people, showcasing strong prey drive as he chases balls, and is easily redirectable with toys or treats. Although he doesn't consistently respond to verbal cues or seek affection directly, Taro takes treats gently and allows handling without fuss, despite displaying anxiety and constant motion, underscoring his struggle to decompress in the shelter environment. Safe with Alljoy4paws, Taro now looks for an experienced foster or adopter familiar with Shiba traits to help him blossom😻. With patience, understanding, and love, Taro can transform into the best version of himself. Will you be the hero Taro needs? Submit your application today to welcome this precious boy into your life and shower him with the love he deserves🤩! Currently being cared in Southern California, Taro can be transported to northern states such as Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, or other locations within the continental United States, where a loving experienced family awaits to welcome him.
