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/212583059015149September 2, 2025, 9:02 am

Story
Beautiful Wanda and her siblings were on Monday 12/8/25 shelter PTS list. She is only 9 mos old and social friendly. Yet SASA is euthanizing many friendly and healthy young dogs weekly due to capacity issues. Shelter is over-loaded daily by irresponsible owners that dump their dogs. Worse now during Holiday month when many are away on vacations. So the poor innocent dogs have less time at this shelter. Her brother was adopted last minute. Wanda had no options left so we tagged her to rescue her. Volunteers and staff adore her. She is super friendly dog friendly and smart. Needs basic training. She has mix of two very intelligent athletic and devolted brave breeds. Ready to learn and be your BFF for life. Loves toys knows sit for treats and is playful. Will play with her mouth but soft. Great hiking and walking buddy. Will probably enjoy any fun or working you both may like. Smart dog. We will emergency board her to save her life while we search for an experienced foster home. More info. to come.December 12, 2025, 12:42 pm

Story
I am in a foster home and not at the shelter. If you are interested in adopting, submit an adoption questionnaire by email. Learn more hereKennedy is a bright, bouncy, 5-month-old German shepherd mix who’s already proven she’s a little fighter. She survived parvovirus and made a full recovery. At about 36 pounds and growing, she’s a playful, energetic puppy who loves learning, exploring, and being part of the action. In her temporary foster home, sweet Kennedy showed off just how smart she is. She already knows sit, is housetrained and cratetrained, and is working hard on her leash skills. Like many puppies, she can be a bit jumpy and mouthy, and may vocalize when left alone, but she settles after a little while. She’s also practicing sharing her toys and would do best in a home without young children. Kennedy will thrive with continued positive-reinforcement training, patient socialization, and an adopter ready to guide a shepherd puppy into her best self. If you’re ready for the time, energy, and love that go into raising a smart, spirited puppy, Kennedy might be your match!           View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by gon (@thisandafoster)  December 17, 2025, 12:53 pm

Story
I am at Oakland Animal Services in kennel Dog H:2Artemisia is an 8-month-old Malinois mix who is bright, responsive, and deeply people oriented once she warms up.  Artemisia spent some time with a temporary foster family, and they gave us a great report! She settled happily within the first two days. She has endless puppy energy. She loves chasing balls and playing with her tug toy. She follows us everywhere, but once we settle on the couch or in bed, she is able to relax in a sunny spot and fall asleep.  On her walks, she is curious about other dogs she sees across the street, but she follows our lead and stays close to us. She likes to help us in the garden, and will find ways to encourage you to play with her! It's very cute. She can be entertained for hours following us around and playing in the backyard, she truly loves to be with her humans.  She’s very smart and playful, she learned a few tricks very quickly. She will benefit from being adopted by someone with knowledge and experience with Malinois or similar breeds. She needs a lot of physical and mental stimulation before she is able to settle.  If you are looking for a sweet, energetic young dog with a loving nature and a lot of potential, come meet Artemisia.  December 10, 2025, 4:34 pm

Please apply to foster or adopt! Jude finished his training and doing so great! He was in a program for over 60 days and has proven to be ready for a foster or adoptive home. Trainers are able to give some sessions to show what he has learned! We would love to get him in a home soon. Jude is about 2 years old now, neutered, vacinated and chipped. He was rescued from the Avenal animal shelter, where he spent nine months in the shelter as a 6 month old puppy. The boredom and distress he experienced are unimaginable. Now that Jude has been out of the shelter, he has learned and adapted very well. He had a couple foster homes that did not work out for him. Since then, he has been with RFRD training and done very very well! You could see such wonderful results from the training program! He has been decompressed with food nearby and we know he could find a forever home now! We’ve seen promising progress at the training facility. He is now looking for a furever home or foster. He is located in San Jose ca and very dog friendly, he also comes with training, one on one sessions and would do best with older children if any. He is good with people and learned to be open to new surroundings. Jude Walks well on a leash, potty trained and would love to meet you! He is a tall handsome boy that just needed a chance. Please apply to meet Jude! Located San Jose caSeptember 2, 2025, 9:02 am

Story
Adopt Aura!! Aura is ready for a home! Aura is a special girl with no hind legs. She will need a special person who could give her what she needs. Aura can get around pretty fast despite not having back legs. She was first found in Modesto Ca. Where somebody had left her in a shed with no food or water. She then was so-called rescued and taken to the house of horrors in Arizona. Where she was also neglected and tortured amongst 54 or more other dogs. She then went to Arizona Humane Society where she awaited rescue again. She had no rescue backing and that is where she joined our pack. Her amazing foster mom had said yes to fostering and that was the best thing that has happened to Aura! Aura loves to be with her and then foster family. She is very affectionate when she wants to be but it took her a while to gain trust. She was spayed and also had some dental work done. The ortho surgeon took a look at her back legs at UC DAVIS. She barely has any metatarsals left on the left leg. She had prosthetics that are being made and should arrive soon! She does not like to sit in her wheelchair but foster mom was donated a very big Stroller. Where Aura likes to go for a stroll in. Aura might be around six years old or younger but because of the neglect it shows on her body. Aura is looking for a family that could let her be her. She has been through enough and we don’t want to force her to do anything. She takes time to trust but is very sweet. She is dog friendly but sometimes is picky. She gets along with most dogs but doesn’t like to share her attention that you are giving her but who would blame her. She likes her warm big bed and likes to eat. Aura would do best with a house with carpet where she can get around. Concrete does hurt her nubs and she would need booties or a wrap. Aura also likes to go potty on the grass where it’s soft for her to try and stand to go. She is mostly potty trained but because of her limbs she sometimes can go where it’s more comfortable. Aura would love a home of her own. To meet Miss Aura please apply with our adoption app!September 2, 2025, 9:02 am
