Story
* Loves butt scratches* Obsessed with squeaky toys* Gives the biggest, happiest smilesRocky is a sweet Belgian Malinois/Shepherd mix full of love and personality. He`s happiest when he`s flopping into your lap for attention, chasing after his favorite TOY, or soaking up plenty of butt scratches. With his affectionate nature and signature smile, he`s sure to brighten every day and make you laugh along the way.Rocky is currently in a foster home with two other adult Malinois buddies. He is working on his crate training as well as place work. He rides well in the car, and knows sit, shake, and down. Rocky is confident, smart, and reliably affectionate with people. He is also young and still learning boundaries, and at 75 lbs he can be a lot at times.

Story
I am at Oakland Animal Services in kennel Dog I:5Cinnamon – Attentive, Gentle, and Affectionate Cinnamon is a 3-year-old Belgian Shepherd Malinois mix weighing 48 pounds. She’s an attentive girl with generally calm energy, lovely manners, and a sweet, affectionate nature. Calm and attentive: Cinnamon walks nicely on leash with only occasional pulling. She stays tuned in to her person and comes when called. Smart and eager to learn: Cinnamon automatically sits patiently before her person with a soft gaze when treats are involved. She also knows “down” and happily follows cues to go up and down outdoor furniture. Playful and gentle: Cinnamon enjoys a good game of fetch and always brings the ball back for the next round. She also plays gently with the other dogs in her doggie playgroup. Sweet and affectionate: Cinnamon enjoys physical affection and often leans into her person for pets. Sometimes, she even rolls over to invite some belly rubs. Cinnamon would do best with appropriately matched dogs, or as a solo dog with appropriate dog friends.September 23, 2026, 10:32 am

Story
I am at Oakland Animal Services in kennel Dog G:3Meet Yuba, a 2-year-old shepherd mix with a happy heart! At 34 pounds, she’s a bundle of fun—big enough for adventures, small enough for your lap. On a recent field trip, Yuba rode quietly in the car, walked nicely on leash with very little pulling, and politely passed strangers. This delightful pup loves exploring but will happily check in for affection and treats. While she sometimes got a little excited and vocal when she spotted other dogs, she needed just a little help to stay focused. Yuba has done well in shelter playgroups, sometimes playing with other dogs and other times just hanging out and doing her own thing. She could thrive as a solo pup, or with a well-matched dog companion. If you're looking for a fun-sized adventure buddy with lots of love to give, Yuba is ready to wiggle her way into your life!

Story
This dog`s adoption fee has been generously sponsored!Ilia Malinois may not be a gold medalist figure skater like her namesake, but she is a gold medalist good girl with a specialty in sits! Ilia is a 10-month-old Malinois mix who`s figuring out that puppy energy and a big dog body can be a lot for new human friends. She`s a pretty girl who adores treats and training and is so smart -- she just needs some help with settling down!Ilia`s favorite pasttimes include playing with ball whether that`s in pool or fetch or something else entirely! She would like to note that catch is not her strong suit at this time, but she can learn. Ilia loves making canine friends who are just as amped to see her as she is them and she`s not the biggest on pets from strangers, but when she does feel comfortable with you, she`ll lean in for loving.If you were looking for a smart dog, capable of learning just about anything, and you love the look of goofy ears, look no further than Ilia!

Story
Every superhero needs a purpose, and Odette is happiest when she has one. 🦸 This 6-year-old Belgian Malinois is looking for an active home that appreciates her intelligence, energy, and adventurous spirit. Whether she is exploring the outdoors, learning a new task, joining you on a camping trip, or simply following you around the house, Odette is ready to be part of the action. Her superpowers include boundless enthusiasm, world-class cuddling, and turning ordinary days into adventures. She loves having a job to do, thrives on mental and physical enrichment, and is happiest when she feels like part of the team. When the mission is over, Odette is more than happy to trade superhero duties for couch cuddles and sweet kisses. She is affectionate, well-mannered in the home, and loves spending time with her people. Because of her breed traits and high prey drive, Odette is looking for an experienced home without cats, small pets, or small children. Odette will be a loyal teammate, adventure partner, and constant companion to her forever person. For more information about Odette, email info@rescuetheunderdog.org or click "Apply to adopt"

Story
Meet Destiny! Destiny is a special girl who has come along way. She’s about one years old, spayed, vaccinated and micro chipped! Destiny is originally from the Stockton animal shelter where she was found alone in a field. When she was found nobody even knew she was a dog. She looked like a Small neglected hairless bear. Her mouth seemed to be broken and her teeth were sticking out, she had mange, ringworm you name it! Her foster mom rehabilitated her from top to bottom! Destiny could not even find a foster until her current foster mom who has had her from the beginning stepped up to help her! Destiny has now had two surgeries on her palate to repair the hole that was in her mouth. We have no idea exactly what happened but it seem to have either been a firework or something electrical in her mouth which caused her Deformed gums. Destiny currently has a small hole in her palate but is able to eat larger kibble/ground beef and chicken. She is a very energetic puppy with long arms but still is on the small side. She loves to play with dogs and she loves people. She is not very fond of the leash but who knows what she has been through. We are looking for a beautiful home for her that can give her everything she ever deserved. She would do great with puppy training classes. She likes to jump and say hi to you. She also has her tongue sticking out so she loves her kisses as well. But whatever she likes to do we let her because she has been through so much and now she can finally can be herself!! She is around 35 pounds right now and we don’t think she is going to grow anymore. Her breed is very hard to pinpoint but we were thinking she might be some type of Formosan mountain dog or terrier? Please share destiny and her story and let’s find her an amazing home! To meet destiny please fill out our adoption application and right now she’s being fostered in Salinas California. The last photo is of her when she was first found. https://form.jotform.com/212583059015149March 8, 2026, 12:21 am

Story
Meet the fantastic Cooper! This guy is a short stack of appreciation. He is only about 55 pounds and on the smaller side for a male GSD. What does he appreciate, you may ask? Being away from the shelter of course and in a home with friends to play with, people to pet him, and a cozy bed to sleep on each night. Cooper was pulled from the Stockton Shelter in mid-July. That place was stressing him out! He needed time, structure and some confident dog and people companions in his life to help him decompress. He also needed to be neutered and to get rest during his recovery time. What helped Cooper move into the new chapter of his life: Short walks through the neighborhood. A patient and confident person. A playful pup friend. A predictable and structured routine. Love and understanding. Cooper tends to have some environmental anxiety but using the recipe above this guy will reward you with companionship, couch potato vibes, goofy antics, silly zoomies, and the softest sweetest eyes to stare into. Fill out an application if this sounds like your type of pup!" FOSTERED IN ACAMPO

Story
Hazel is a German Shepherd mix, approx. 4.5 years old. Her story is one of resilience and love. Hazel was abandoned last July by her owner when he moved to Texas. Instead of trying to find a home, he opted to dump her in the country. Fortunately, Lana, a kind Samaritan, found her, took her in, and has been caring for her ever since. Despite her past, Hazel remains a sweet and affectionate girl who loves giving kisses and wagging her tail to everyone she meets. Hazel considers everyone her friend! Hazel travels well in a car and enjoys walks, although she is learning leash manners. She is a quick study and would benefit from additional training. She is treat-motivated and takes treats very gently, which makes her a joy to work with. She is also very mellow and well-behaved indoors. Unfortunately, Hazel and Lana’s resident rescue female German Shepherd do not get along, so Hazel would do best as an only dog or could do well with a male companion. However, Hazel prefers not to live with kitties. If you have been looking for a wonderful, loyal, and loving companion who will be a gentle presence in your home, Hazel could be the perfect match. After all she’s been through, Hazel deserves a caring family and a place to call home. LOCATED IN LODI
