Story
Spirit is a roughly 9-month-old Malinois mix with a sensitive heart and so much potential. He came to us feeling scared and overwhelmed, but with time, patience, and gentle guidance, we’re already seeing encouraging changes in him every day.Spirit can be nervous around new things and is especially unsure around most men, but he has shown a clear preference for women and has formed a sweet bond with one of our female teenage volunteers. Even with his fears, Spirit is trying—and that effort speaks volumes about the kind of dog he is.In the short time he’s been here, Spirit has already made progress with his anxieties, showing that he wants to learn and trust. He is potty trained and knows some basic commands, which tells us someone loved him and invested in him before he arrived.Spirit will thrive in a patient, understanding home that allows his nervous system the time it needs to settle and feel safe. With consistency, kindness, and love, this sweet boy has all the tools to grow into an incredibly loyal and devoted companion. If you believe in giving a dog the grace to blossom at his own pace, Spirit may be the one you’ve been waiting for.

Story
HI - I'M FREYA! I'm a sweet and gentle 2-year-old Belgian Malinois mix in need of a foster or forever home. I was rescued from a crowded California shelter in the nick of time. While there, I was kenneled with another dog, and was calm and gentle. I love playing with other dogs, and I also tested great with cats! (We have videos!) I would do best with an active person or people who can take me for long walks, hikes and other outings. I weigh 55-60 lbs. Please email for an application and additional photos.

Story
***Young at Heart***After what appears to be quite awhile on his own in the streets, this senior German Shepherd is ready for a fresh start. He’s currently working on gaining weight and growing his beautiful coat back. If his head is any indication, it will be a luxurious one with stunning markings. Despite what he’s been through, Julian has a soft, tender spirit. He takes treats with the gentlest mouth, and is always ready to lean in for a good snuggle. He`s still working on his loose leash walking, but he gets rave reviews from day fosters every time he goes out.What needs no improvement is his fetch game. He may be 8, but you`d never know it watching him sprint to the end of a yard, catch the ball and happily trot back to you where he leaves it at your feet. Come meet this Golden Batchelor today!

Story
Suzy is proof of how love and patience can change everything.When Suzy first arrived at our shelter with her brother, she was completely shut down. She stood frozen in her kennel for days, unsure and overwhelmed. The only time her true self peeked through was around other dogs — her safe place. So we placed her in a foster home with a canine sibling, and that’s when everything changed.In foster care, Suzy has absolutely blossomed. At 2 years old, she still has that joyful puppy enthusiasm and loves to play! She’s the perfect medium size at 50 pounds — big enough for adventures, small enough to fit perfectly on the couch for snuggles (which she adores). She carries the alert ears and loyal heart of a shepherd, bonding deeply and completely with her people.While Suzy feels naturally at ease with another dog around, her fosters believe she could also thrive as an only pup — as long as her person is generous with love and affection. Once she trusts you, she is all in: loyal, cuddly, and devoted.One of Suzy’s happiest places? The water! She lights up on beach days with her foster family and would love a home that includes adventures — especially if they involve splashing.Suzy is looking for someone patient and understanding. She may need a few days to decompress and learn a new routine, but once she settles in, she becomes an incredibly loving and steady household companion.If you’re willing to give her that little bit of time, Suzy will give you her whole heart.
