Koda would do best with owners who understand the Malinois breed and the responsibility that comes with a high-drive working dog.

Circe = Ball Chaser, Water Lover, Cuddle-Bug, Superstar! Are you looking for a high-energy, loyal companion with a touch of mischief and a heart of gold? Meet Circe, a young adult, petite Malinois who checks all the boxes for an active, dedicated home. Circe is crate trained, potty trained, and sleeps through the night like a pro. She’s great on leash and loves meeting new people—welcoming guests into the home with a wagging tail and curious sniffs. True to her Malinois nature, Circe is sharp, energetic, and ready for action. She lives for fetch and could chase her ball for hours if you wanted and your arm held out! She is GREAT at fetch. She's also a total water baby—splashing in the pool might just be her favorite way to cool off after playtime. And she will love any body of water out on adventures or chilling by the lake….beach romps! She’s incredibly gentle when taking treats and thrives with routine and structure. Circe would do best with someone familiar with working breeds or ready to engage her mind and body through training, games, and adventure. With her athleticism and drive, she could excel in sports like agility, FastCAT, or dock diving. If you're ready for a smart, loving pup who’s equal parts working dog and playful goofball, Circe might just be your perfect match, she is a gem!

Story
Rome and his brother were found together after being abandoned in Richmond, CA, but thankfully their story took a happy turn. Now thriving in foster care in Rodeo, CA, Rome is healthy, confident, and ready to start his next chapter with a forever family. Rome is about 1 year old and weighs around 58 pounds. He’s a Belgian Malinois mix with a sleek black coat that gleams in the sun, soft brown socks, a little white on his chest, and expressive upright ears that are always tuned in to what’s happening around him. He’s handsome for sure — but it’s his personality that really shines. Rome is smart, athletic, and full of joyful energy. He loves being active and would be a fantastic companion for someone who enjoys hiking, running, or outdoor adventures. That said, he’s not all go-go-go — he also knows how to settle and enjoy downtime with his people. He’s crate trained, housebroken, and friendly with other dogs. Like many young pups, his play style can be enthusiastic, but it’s all in good fun. Rome is very treat-motivated and eager to learn, making him a joy to train and bond with. At home, Rome enjoys good food (chicken, duck, and salmon are top-tier in his book) and even appreciates some background music — rock and roll is his favorite, though he’s willing to humor a little country now and then 😉 He’d love a home with another dog to play with, especially one who can match his energy. Rome is looking for a family who’s ready for adventure, laughter, and lots of love. In return, he’ll be a loyal, fun-loving companion who brings heart, happiness, and plenty of tail wags into your life.

Story
Remy’s journey hasn’t always been easy. He was found abandoned in late May in a commercial area of Richmond, CA, but once he was rescued and brought into foster care in Rodeo, everything started to turn around. Since then, he’s been blossoming into the happy, loving dog he was always meant to be. Remy is about 1 year old and around 70 pounds — a Belgian Malinois mix with a stunning brindle coat, a handsome black face, and adorable black socks. He’s a big boy, but don’t let his size fool you… he’s truly a gentle soul. Smart, attentive, and eager to please, Remy loves learning new things (especially if treats are involved!). He’s crate trained, housebroken, and does well with other dogs. He especially enjoys having a canine buddy to romp around with — someone close to his size who can match his playful energy. At home, Remy is affectionate and loyal, the kind of dog who wants to be near his people and soak up all the love. He’s a big fan of chicken, duck, and especially salmon — and yes, he even enjoys music. Rock and roll is his favorite, but he’s open-minded enough to tolerate a little country too 😉 Remy would do best in a home that offers consistency, kindness, and a bit of structure — plus plenty of love. In return, he’ll give you his whole heart, his goofy charm, and a lifelong best friend.

Story
Fin (Finnegan or Fingolfin) could be your next best adventure buddy. Fin is approximately 3 years old. He is a White German Shepherd husky mix. He is a very loyal boy who would benefit from an active person or couple who are confident with dogs. Fin would be the perfect companion to someone who enjoys the outdoors. He is a great running buddy (he is so fast!) and he would likely make a great cycling buddy with some training. Fin is adventurous and curious, but also sweet and empathetic. He is great with kids based on his foster history. Fin would likely thrive in a home where he gets attention, but he is okay to be left alone during the day if he is exercised properly. Fin is highly intelligent – so far, he is really enjoying games like hide and seek (he caught on instantly), and puzzles! He is highly trainable and wants to please his human companions. We want him to go to a home where he is given the proper exercise, stimulation, training, and love. He has so much potential – now he just needs the right family! Fin wants to be the best boy and is looking for his forever home with someone who will take him on all the best adventures! Is that person you? Fin was scheduled to be euthanized in California due to shelter capacity and an easily treatable illness. He is all clear medically and is in great health. Fin has a joie de vie that is infectious. He just wants to be a good boy and have fun every day. We love him so much and we know you will too!

Story
Alice is a stunning 5-year-old white German shepherd with a loyal heart and a deeply gentle soul. After being heartbreakingly dumped by the family she trusted, Alice stayed close to the one constant she had left—her bonded brother, Bowser, an 8-year-old blind husky. Through uncertainty and change, Alice has been his steady guide and quiet protector. Alice is intelligent, attentive, and incredibly devoted to her people. She forms strong bonds and takes comfort in being near those she loves. Calm and observant, she has a natural instinct to watch over Bowser, helping him navigate unfamiliar spaces and feel safe. Their connection is beautiful to witness and rooted in trust and companionship. Despite everything she’s been through, Alice remains affectionate and eager to please. She enjoys gentle walks, relaxed time outdoors, and peaceful moments at home. She would thrive in a stable, loving environment where she can settle in, decompress, and continue being the confident, caring dog she truly is. Because of their strong bond, Alice and Bowser are looking for a home together. They lean on each other emotionally, and keeping them together gives them both the best chance to feel secure and happy again. If you’re looking for a devoted companion with a heart full of love—and room in your home for two inseparable souls—Alice is ready to meet you and start this next chapter by your side.
