If you’re looking for a partner in crime for every trail and trek, this vibrant girl is ready to grow right alongside you. Poppy is a total firecracker with a heart of gold and a personality that sparkles! She is the definition of "life of the party," greeting every single person she meets like a long lost best friend.

She’s the kind of dog who makes every day feel like a sunny afternoon in the park. Believe us her moves are something you don’t want to miss, See her zoomies in action! https://youtu.be/Yzc8F6Ou5MA What makes Poppy truly special is her incredible bond with her humans; she is a total velcro dog who just wants to be where the action is! While she has the drive of an adventurer, she is also a world class lounger who loves to hang out on the couch after a day of play. She loves her "private mini room!" Poppy is crate trained and views her space as a cozy sanctuary to relax. She’s been living and playing with smaller dogs (around 17 lbs) and has shown she’s a social butterfly who loves to lick her foster siblings' faces every morning to say "hello." She’s a smart cookie who picks up on house rules in a heartbeat! Poppy knows exactly how to scale down her play to be gentle with small dogs, and she’s a master of the "play bow" to make sure everyone knows she’s a friend, not a foe. She is a dream on a walk and a proud member of the loose leash club. No pulling here just a girl who loves to stroll and take in the sights. No accidents here! She is a pro at keeping her space clean and follows a household routine perfectly. Incredibly smart, perfectly gentle, and always ready for the next ride. She is a loving explorer at heart, always ready to navigate a new hiking trail or scout out the best local coffee shop patio with you by her side. We suspect Poppy is a Belgian Malinois mix, which means she’s got the brains and the beauty! Weighing in at a sleek 45 pounds, she is that perfect medium size big enough to keep up on a run, but compact enough to easily hop in the car for a weekend getaway. Of course, with any rescue, her breed is a bit of a mystery, but her intelligence and stunning coat are 100% pure bred Good Girl. When it comes to other dogs, Poppy is a social superstar! She loves a good game of chase and is a play bow professional. She isn't just a pretty face (though that coat and those perked up ears speak for themselves!). She’s a vocal girl, but not for no reason she just loves to chat and invite her friends to join the party. Great with friends, but is just as happy to be your one and only! She would be happiest in a home with a medium energy dog who can keep up with her fun loving wrestling matches but also knows when it’s time to take a collective nap. Whether she’s sharing her favorite toys, wrestling on the couch, or inviting a buddy to play with one of her signature "are you ready to play" chirps, she is a polite and playful companion who would make an amazing addition to a multi dog household. Poppy thinks she’s the star of the show, so she’s looking for a feline free home! She’d much rather spend her time focusing on her human friends or playing "tag" with her canine buddies than worrying about what a kitty is up to. To keep everyone happy and wagging, she’s sticking to a cat free lifestyle where she can be her best, bouncy self. The ideal home for Poppy is one that matches her zest for life! Because she’s a brilliant working breed mix, she’d love an active adopter who enjoys training or outdoor adventures. She would adore a house with a yard to zoom in, but she could also be a rockstar apartment dog for a active person who treats the city as their playground. Something cute about her? She’s a talker with her paws she’ll invite you to play with the most adorable little dances! In Short: Poppy is Perfection! She is a brilliant, affectionate, and adventurous soul who is just waiting for the right person to lead the way. She’s also a bit of a home decorator when she’s feeling playful on the couch, she loves to rearrange the pillows to get her setup just right. It’s just one of the many quirky ways she brings joy and laughter to her foster home every day. She’s got the brains of a scholar and the heart of a puppy, making her the ultimate companion for a life lived out loud.

Jade is the kind of dog who makes you realize just how much heart can fit into one very wiggly, very beautiful pup. She’s a young Belgian Malinois / German Shepherd mix, and she carries all the brilliance, drive, and devotion that comes with those working-breed roots wrapped up in one incredibly affectionate girl. At her core, Jade is a happy, social, people-loving dog who thrives on connection. She adores being close to her humans, leans in for affection, and will happily soak up every bit of attention you’re willing to give. Once she’s comfortable, her sweet, playful side really shines—she enjoys cuddles just as much as she enjoys a good game of fetch, and she has that endearing “all in” enthusiasm for everything she does. Watch how cute she is in her YouTube video now https://youtu.be/oSRaJttKOh4?si=DRQVrTWWotdlkd_c Jade is currently fostered in a lively home with six other dogs and two cats, and she fits right into the pack. She absolutely loves other animals and draws a lot of her confidence from being around them. In fact, she would do best in a home with another friendly, playful dog who can help guide her, keep her company, and be her playmate. She truly lights up when she has a canine friend nearby—it helps her feel grounded and happy. With cats, Jade is respectful and gentle. She’s curious and interested in interacting, so she would do best with a dog-savvy cat who can confidently set boundaries. When they do, she listens and adjusts well. She just really wants to be part of the group and share space and energy with everyone around her. Because of her breed mix, Jade is very intelligent and very driven. She’s a “doer” who thrives when she has structure, enrichment, and things to think about. Puzzle toys, training sessions, games of fetch, and daily physical activity are all things that make her feel fulfilled and balanced. Without outlets for her energy and brain, she can become frustrated, so she’s looking for a home that understands and appreciates a working dog’s needs. Jade would do best in a home with a yard where she can safely stretch her legs, run, play, and burn off some of that natural energy throughout the day. While walks and outings are wonderful, having a secure outdoor space will really help set her up for success and give her the freedom she needs to thrive. On leash, Jade is still polishing her manners. She gets very excited about seeing other dogs and may bark or pull in her eagerness to say hello and play. This isn’t from a place of reactivity or aggression—she’s simply overflowing with enthusiasm and social energy. With consistent, positive training and someone who enjoys working with dogs, she will absolutely continue to improve. In new environments, Jade can feel a bit unsure at first. She may be anxious while she settles in and looks to other animals for reassurance. Once she adjusts, her confidence grows, and her true personality—playful, loving, and loyal—comes forward beautifully. She just needs a little patience at the beginning to show how amazing she really is. Jade is also believed to be a wonderful candidate for a family environment, including homes with children, as she has such a gentle, affectionate, and social nature. Of course more testing can always be done to ensure the perfect match for everyone involved. She is not the kind of dog who fits into a low-key, “walk around the block and chill” lifestyle. She’s a companion for someone who wants a partner—someone who enjoys training, activity, adventure, and building a strong bond with their dog. In the right home, she’s going to be incredibly devoted. She bonds deeply, learns quickly, and wants nothing more than to be included in life. She is stunning, affectionate, eager, and full of potential. With structure, exercise, companionship, and love, Jade will absolutely blossom into the kind of once-in-a-lifetime dog who feels like she was meant to be by your side. Adopt her now!

Fenyx is a total love bug with his human and just wants to please! He is the best weighted blanket, the best dancer and hugger! He has the sweetest face that you can't resist! He wants to just be near you - total Velcro dog - he does the best contact heel, gives the best kisses and hugs!He is super smart but such a wiggle butt when learning, so eager, such a puppy with high energy - it's adorable and hilarious! He learns quickly and it's really fun to watch him grow and thrive! What he knows: Name House manners Potty trained Sit, Down, Place, Crate, Stay, Bed, Here, Stand, Front, Middle, Leave it, Roo and Sit Pretty [last two are fun little standing on hind leg tricks] - all in progress vs prooved. He has high food drive! He's being trained in German mostly but once dogs learn the behavior it's not that hard to change the language. Heeling on both sides and Loose Leash Walking Traveling downs Touch command [in progress] Recall / Off leash work - doing well but at this time he can only go where he won't run into stranger dogs, however he can recall from prey unless he's 100% committed.   Ecollar conditioned Thresholds Crate trained What he is actively working on Calm behavior and reducing impulsivity and reactivity [ask us about this!] Settling Trusting new handlers Independence Muzzle Training Who he is good with and Where he needs more work Dogs: He is great with his foster sisters! With proper, slow introductions, he CAN integrate into a home with dogs. He is not really a playmate though.  Stranger Dogs: He is reactive to dogs he doesn't know. He has been working on this through board and train and ongoing training. He has been part of group training to work on being ok around dogs and has done very well. He will need continued work and exposure.  People: He LOVES them but he cannot be trusted when he is overstimulated! When he is too triggered he can panic bite [never punctured skin]. He has been working on this in Board and Train and his foster has continued the work. He has been able to be handled by others and has NEVER touched his foster mom, which tells us that once he trusts, he trusts and loves forever! He is a dog that his human has to read well, manage his arousal level while also continuing to work on it via exposure.  Ideal Home Dedicated and Experienced home: He would love someone who is excited about training sessions, sets good boundaries and can build confidence. Active home: We hope his forever human likes to take him running or go on adventures in the forest vs the city! He is not a party boy, family dog or Golden Retriever-type dog. He is more like a soldier who needs instructions and wants to work or he becomes dysregualated! He really just needs someone who is willing to put in the time! Less humans in the home would be ideal but he never had an issue with foster's partner He would thrive in a place with property to run and explore. He requires more work to be able to frequent busy trails No children or cats, small dogs or prey animals in the home  His foster experiences him as the sweetest, most affectionate and cuddly dog there is BUT he just doesn't know what to do when he's overwhelmed. He can be that for you once he fully trust.  He might enjoy scent work, NASDA or agility.  He will need a human who really gets the Malinois mind in an insecure body! He needs someone who understands a rescue Malinois! He needs someone who is willing to take on a challenge and run with it because it will make a difference in this dog's life! He needs a lot of boundaries, structure, confidence building and proper introduction to the world. What you get in return is everlasting love and loyalty! He will do anything you ask, trust you and be your die hard partner in crime Cute Anectodes from Foster Mom "Fenyx thinks he is a lap dog and will find a way to make it work""He loves being touched and will seek out my hand, just putting his muzzle in it, holding it there gently [sometimes less gentle]""Sometimes, he just nuzzles into my chest, lets out a big sigh and just looks at peace being so close and comforted, it just melts my heart""He at times looks like a deer hopping through tall grass which is the cutest thing in a 65# boy" Fenyx has so much LOVE to give and is just waiting for his furever match! Would that be you?   We really hope YOU are out there!  Check him out: Here ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you are interested in adopting this pet please complete an application!

Echo is settling into his foster home like a champ and is showing a LOT of personality. He is spunky, fun and affectionate. He is curious and adventurous. He's a true Maligator puppy, using his teefers for everything. He is respectful of dogs who set good boundaries but he needs continued socialization as he gets real talkative with stranger dogs but adjusts quickly! He just never learned how to say Hi properly .. the shelter named him Bullet and that's actually quite accurate LOL He likes to tackle the foster siblings but despite his demand barks, he is a submissive guy!  He is clean and quiet in his crate and great in the house unless bored! He is great at climbing into laps, being a trip hazard and giving the best kisses & tooth hugs.  He is great at sit and is learning down, stay, touch and eye contact! He loves to come when called and he's working on recall. He is already heeling quite nicely when he is focused.  He has not met anyone he doesn't like! He is such a sweet guy who wants to say hi to everyone! He's exuberant and is learning quickly. He's a perfect pup to mold and teach! He is showing a bit of prey drive and has good toy drive. He enjoys cheese and will work for it. He will give things a try but the smarty pants he is, he will try to find an easier way to solve the problem.   He would be a great first time Mal owner pup who is dedicated to training and fun activities! He has the mouthiness and sassiness of a Mal but has a good off switch! AND He's Portable! He is hoping to find a fun human, who takes him on adventures, trips and engages his brain! He might enjoy agility, he already likes going over the agility ramp and follows the other dogs through the tunnel!! He would love playmates who can handle his exuberance and give him good guidance!We would suggest no small children b/c he is very mouthy and no cats b/c he has prey drive.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you are interested in adopting this pet please complete an application!

Meet Indy! Indy is a beautiful 3-year-old Belgian Malinois weighing 92 pounds who is looking for a family to call her own. Indy came to Happy Tails Happy Homes after she and her 11 puppies were rescued from an overcrowded California shelter where they were at risk of euthanasia. She was an outstanding mother, and now that all of her puppies have found their forever homes, it’s finally Indy’s turn. One thing that makes Indy unique is that she is not your typical high-drive Malinois. While she enjoys playing and spending time outside, she also loves to relax. She’s happiest lounging on her dog bed with a chew bone or hanging out with her people after a walk or play session. Indy currently lives with four other dogs and does very well with them. Her best friend is a 50-pound Bull Terrier, and the two spend hours playing together in the yard. She enjoys canine companionship but also settles nicely indoors. She walks well on leash, rides great in the car, is comfortable being left home alone, and does well at the veterinary clinic. She has a naturally friendly, stable temperament and is currently working on her basic obedience commands. Indy would do best with a family that wants an affectionate companion and is committed to continuing her training and providing regular exercise. She enjoys getting out for adventures but is equally happy relaxing at home with her family. Indy is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all of her vaccinations. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate dog with a balanced personality, Indy may be the perfect addition to your family.

Jade is the kind of dog who makes you realize just how much heart can fit into one very wiggly, very beautiful pup. She’s a young Belgian Malinois / German Shepherd mix, and she carries all the brilliance, drive, and devotion that comes with those working-breed roots wrapped up in one incredibly affectionate girl. At her core, Jade is a happy, social, people-loving dog who thrives on connection. She adores being close to her humans, leans in for affection, and will happily soak up every bit of attention you’re willing to give. Once she’s comfortable, her sweet, playful side really shines—she enjoys cuddles just as much as she enjoys a good game of fetch, and she has that endearing “all in” enthusiasm for everything she does. Watch how cute she is in her YouTube video now https://youtu.be/oSRaJttKOh4?si=DRQVrTWWotdlkd_c Jade is currently fostered in a lively home with six other dogs and two cats, and she fits right into the pack. She absolutely loves other animals and draws a lot of her confidence from being around them. In fact, she would do best in a home with another friendly, playful dog who can help guide her, keep her company, and be her playmate. She truly lights up when she has a canine friend nearby—it helps her feel grounded and happy. With cats, Jade is respectful and gentle. She’s curious and interested in interacting, so she would do best with a dog-savvy cat who can confidently set boundaries. When they do, she listens and adjusts well. She just really wants to be part of the group and share space and energy with everyone around her. Because of her breed mix, Jade is very intelligent and very driven. She’s a “doer” who thrives when she has structure, enrichment, and things to think about. Puzzle toys, training sessions, games of fetch, and daily physical activity are all things that make her feel fulfilled and balanced. Without outlets for her energy and brain, she can become frustrated, so she’s looking for a home that understands and appreciates a working dog’s needs. Jade would do best in a home with a yard where she can safely stretch her legs, run, play, and burn off some of that natural energy throughout the day. While walks and outings are wonderful, having a secure outdoor space will really help set her up for success and give her the freedom she needs to thrive. On leash, Jade is still polishing her manners. She gets very excited about seeing other dogs and may bark or pull in her eagerness to say hello and play. This isn’t from a place of reactivity or aggression—she’s simply overflowing with enthusiasm and social energy. With consistent, positive training and someone who enjoys working with dogs, she will absolutely continue to improve. In new environments, Jade can feel a bit unsure at first. She may be anxious while she settles in and looks to other animals for reassurance. Once she adjusts, her confidence grows, and her true personality—playful, loving, and loyal—comes forward beautifully. She just needs a little patience at the beginning to show how amazing she really is. Jade is also believed to be a wonderful candidate for a family environment, including homes with children, as she has such a gentle, affectionate, and social nature. Of course more testing can always be done to ensure the perfect match for everyone involved. She is not the kind of dog who fits into a low-key, “walk around the block and chill” lifestyle. She’s a companion for someone who wants a partner—someone who enjoys training, activity, adventure, and building a strong bond with their dog. In the right home, she’s going to be incredibly devoted. She bonds deeply, learns quickly, and wants nothing more than to be included in life. She is stunning, affectionate, eager, and full of potential. With structure, exercise, companionship, and love, Jade will absolutely blossom into the kind of once-in-a-lifetime dog who feels like she was meant to be by your side. Adopt her now!

Fenyx is a total love bug with his human and just wants to please! He is the best weighted blanket, the best dancer and hugger! He has the sweetest face that you can't resist! He wants to just be near you - total Velcro dog - he does the best contact heel, gives the best kisses and hugs!He is super smart but such a wiggle butt when learning, so eager, such a puppy with high energy - it's adorable and hilarious! He learns quickly and it's really fun to watch him grow and thrive! What he knows: Name House manners Potty trained Sit, Down, Place, Crate, Stay, Bed, Here, Stand, Front, Middle, Leave it, Roo and Sit Pretty [last two are fun little standing on hind leg tricks] - all in progress vs prooved. He has high food drive! He's being trained in German mostly but once dogs learn the behavior it's not that hard to change the language. Heeling on both sides and Loose Leash Walking Traveling downs Touch command [in progress] Recall / Off leash work - doing well but at this time he can only go where he won't run into stranger dogs, however he can recall from prey unless he's 100% committed.   Ecollar conditioned Thresholds Crate trained What he is actively working on Calm behavior and reducing impulsivity and reactivity [ask us about this!] Settling Trusting new handlers Independence Muzzle Training Who he is good with and Where he needs more work Dogs: He is great with his foster sisters! With proper, slow introductions, he CAN integrate into a home with dogs. He is not really a playmate though.  Stranger Dogs: He is reactive to dogs he doesn't know. He has been working on this through board and train and ongoing training. He has been part of group training to work on being ok around dogs and has done very well. He will need continued work and exposure.  People: He LOVES them but he cannot be trusted when he is overstimulated! When he is too triggered he can panic bite [never punctured skin]. He has been working on this in Board and Train and his foster has continued the work. He has been able to be handled by others and has NEVER touched his foster mom, which tells us that once he trusts, he trusts and loves forever! He is a dog that his human has to read well, manage his arousal level while also continuing to work on it via exposure.  Ideal Home Dedicated and Experienced home: He would love someone who is excited about training sessions, sets good boundaries and can build confidence. Active home: We hope his forever human likes to take him running or go on adventures in the forest vs the city! He is not a party boy, family dog or Golden Retriever-type dog. He is more like a soldier who needs instructions and wants to work or he becomes dysregualated! He really just needs someone who is willing to put in the time! Less humans in the home would be ideal but he never had an issue with foster's partner He would thrive in a place with property to run and explore. He requires more work to be able to frequent busy trails No children or cats, small dogs or prey animals in the home  His foster experiences him as the sweetest, most affectionate and cuddly dog there is BUT he just doesn't know what to do when he's overwhelmed. He can be that for you once he fully trust.  He might enjoy scent work, NASDA or agility.  He will need a human who really gets the Malinois mind in an insecure body! He needs someone who understands a rescue Malinois! He needs someone who is willing to take on a challenge and run with it because it will make a difference in this dog's life! He needs a lot of boundaries, structure, confidence building and proper introduction to the world. What you get in return is everlasting love and loyalty! He will do anything you ask, trust you and be your die hard partner in crime Cute Anectodes from Foster Mom "Fenyx thinks he is a lap dog and will find a way to make it work""He loves being touched and will seek out my hand, just putting his muzzle in it, holding it there gently [sometimes less gentle]""Sometimes, he just nuzzles into my chest, lets out a big sigh and just looks at peace being so close and comforted, it just melts my heart""He at times looks like a deer hopping through tall grass which is the cutest thing in a 65# boy" Fenyx has so much LOVE to give and is just waiting for his furever match!

Echo is settling into his foster home like a champ and is showing a LOT of personality. He is spunky, fun and affectionate. He is curious and adventurous. He's a true Maligator puppy, using his teefers for everything. He is respectful of dogs who set good boundaries but he needs continued socialization as he gets real talkative with stranger dogs but adjusts quickly! He just never learned how to say Hi properly .. the shelter named him Bullet and that's actually quite accurate LOL He likes to tackle the foster siblings but despite his demand barks, he is a submissive guy!  He is clean and quiet in his crate and great in the house unless bored! He is great at climbing into laps, being a trip hazard and giving the best kisses & tooth hugs.  He is great at sit and is learning down, stay, touch and eye contact! He loves to come when called and he's working on recall. He is already heeling quite nicely when he is focused.  He has not met anyone he doesn't like! He is such a sweet guy who wants to say hi to everyone! He's exuberant and is learning quickly. He's a perfect pup to mold and teach! He is showing a bit of prey drive and has good toy drive. He enjoys cheese and will work for it. He will give things a try but the smarty pants he is, he will try to find an easier way to solve the problem.   He would be a great first time Mal owner pup who is dedicated to training and fun activities! He has the mouthiness and sassiness of a Mal but has a good off switch! AND He's Portable! He is hoping to find a fun human, who takes him on adventures, trips and engages his brain! He might enjoy agility, he already likes going over the agility ramp and follows the other dogs through the tunnel!! He would love playmates who can handle his exuberance and give him good guidance!We would suggest no small children b/c he is very mouthy and no cats b/c he has prey drive.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you are interested in adopting this pet please complete an application!

Meet Indy! Indy is a beautiful 3-year-old Belgian Malinois weighing 92 pounds who is looking for a family to call her own. Indy came to Happy Tails Happy Homes after she and her 11 puppies were rescued from an overcrowded California shelter where they were at risk of euthanasia. She was an outstanding mother, and now that all of her puppies have found their forever homes, it’s finally Indy’s turn. One thing that makes Indy unique is that she is not your typical high-drive Malinois. While she enjoys playing and spending time outside, she also loves to relax. She’s happiest lounging on her dog bed with a chew bone or hanging out with her people after a walk or play session. Indy currently lives with four other dogs and does very well with them. Her best friend is a 50-pound Bull Terrier, and the two spend hours playing together in the yard. She enjoys canine companionship but also settles nicely indoors. She walks well on leash, rides great in the car, is comfortable being left home alone, and does well at the veterinary clinic. She has a naturally friendly, stable temperament and is currently working on her basic obedience commands. Indy would do best with a family that wants an affectionate companion and is committed to continuing her training and providing regular exercise. She enjoys getting out for adventures but is equally happy relaxing at home with her family. Indy is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all of her vaccinations. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate dog with a balanced personality, Indy may be the perfect addition to your family.

From the moment you meet Lentil Lou, one thing becomes very clear...life is simply more fun with her in it. This sweet, goofy girl has the joyful spirit of an oversized shepherd puppy, paired with a heart that seems to have endless love to give. Lentil Lou is incredibly social and greets the world with pure happiness, always ready to make a new friend whether they have two legs or four. She absolutely adores other dogs and lights up during playtime, bouncing around with playful enthusiasm and charming silliness that’s impossible not to smile at. Equal parts cuddly sweetheart and playful goofball, Lentil Lou brings laughter, affection, and nonstop cuteness wherever she goes. If you’ve been looking for a dog who will fill your days with fun, companionship, and a whole lot of love, Lentil Lou might just be your perfect match. Watch her video and you'll be smitten by her: https://youtu.be/xErEmx2U-Is?si=fBol9-3XA2TNA5Ej Lentil Lou is believed to be a German Shepherd mix around 1.5 years old and 55 lbs. She is a rescue dog and with any rescue it’s always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age. We do know that Lentil is as sweet as they come, and to add to her greatness, she is essentially a full-grown puppy with that adorable puppy face of hers. This little lady loves to love and adores every person she meets. The term stranger danger does not exist in her vocabulary. She is the definition of a social butterfly, and with her, you’ll have a bestie to explore with, a snuggly princess to binge-watch your favorite shows with, and the sole reason your camera roll will always be full. She has been around kids and has been nothing but gentle around young kids. We do believe that she would be happiest in a home with kids 12 and older. Lentil is very dog friendly and loves to make friends with other dogs. She has been around dogs with all different temperaments, from large dominant males to submissive quiet ladies, and her personal favorite… the playful party pups. Lentil loves to play with other dogs and has the best time romping around, wrestling, playing chase, sharing toys, and also enjoys simply hanging out. She’s not all about bringing the party vibes all the time; she appreciates downtime and relaxing at home with her new friends as well. Lentil would do great in a home with another playful dog like herself but can also be your one and only. She does not need the company of another dog to feel comfortable or open up. Lentil is a social butterfly by nature and would love to be the center of your world. Lentil is a smart gal too! She brings the brains to every training session. She is very treat motivated and eager to please. She already knows how to sit, and you can tell she is ready to learn it all just by the way she engages with her person. It’s actually pretty cute how much she wants to make you happy. You’ll see it in her video if you haven’t already. She walks fairly nicely on a leash and may pull occasionally out of excitement to go sniff something interesting or say hello to a friendly face. It’s easy to regain her focus, and she responds well to gentle reminders. Lentil is also comfortable tandem walking with other dogs. She is crate trained and potty trained too! With patience, consistency, and of course treats, training with Lentil will be a fun and rewarding bonding experience for you both. Lentil would thrive in a home with a semi-active family that enjoys neighborhood walks and is looking for a super affectionate girl. If you’re someone who loves to host and have people over, Lentil will be the very first one to greet your guests. Not feeling especially social one day? That’s perfectly fine by Lentil, she’ll be happiest wherever you are. She would also make an amazing adventure buddy! Take her to the park, explore nature trails, go on outings, visit your local brewery or beach, and watch her win hearts and gather adoring fans everywhere she goes. We believe Lentil would thrive in a home with a backyard where she can stretch her legs, soak up the sunshine, and happily meander alongside you while you garden or work around the yard. We are willing to test Lentil with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

The personality. The face. The size. The EARS! Everything about Kaiser Cruz from head to toe, inside out, is literal perfection. Shepherd lovers better hurry up because he won't be available for long. He is snuggly, dog friendly, loves the outdoors, smart, and great with kids! The list can quite literally go on and on and on. Biggest flex this boy has are those amazing ears. Full of personality and full of cuteness. Watch his video and fall in love with this sweet boy: https://youtu.be/ajZy2JOkRrw?si=SuyuCzdNV99fOIl2 Kaiser Cruz is believed to be a Shepherd mix approximately 8 years old and currently weighs 64 lbs. He is a rescue dog and with any rescue it's always a mystery, and we cannot guarantee breed or age. Kaiser is the perfect combination of affection while also being independent. He's not overly needy with his love nor does he ever over do it. If you're someone that works from home, he'll be a great work from home buddy because he's not going to be constantly begging you for attention or getting into things he shouldn't be (he has wonderful house manners I might add). He's the type that will come up to you when the time is right for a little ear/nose scratch almost as if he knew you needed a 5 min break from work. As for the rest of the time, he's a window watcher and loves looking out windows or he'll be playing with a toy. While Kaiser waits for his forever family, he is being spoiled by his foster family and they absolutely adore him and rave about him. He is currently fostered in a home with kids ages 4 and 8 years old, and Kaiser has been nothing but sweet perfection around the kids in his foster home. They have the best time playing together, snuggling, and he loves being a part of a family dynamic. Kaiser is very tolerant with all of the kids in the home and just loves them to pieces. He has no issues when the kids are playing with his toys, running around, and is frequently found giving them the gentlest kisses. It's the sweetest thing! If you have kids and are looking for a bestie for your kiddos, Kaiser is definitely your guy. Not only is Kaiser great with kids, he is also very dog friendly and has done great with all the dogs we have introduced him to and is also fostered in a home with an 8 month old playful pittie mix. Kaiser has been around dogs all with different personalities and has done great with every single one. Kaiser is wonderful about meeting new dogs and will either play with them or will go off and do his own thing. That's what is so great about him, the way he is able to adapt to the dogs around him. He can run around, have a good time and he also just as happy going off and doing his own thing while the other dogs are being wild. Kaiser is more about exploring and doing his own thing rather than playing with other dogs. Though when Kaiser does play, he plays like a total shepherd. If you know shepherds or have ever owned one, then you know they love mouthy air play, will give nose boops where they see fit LOL, and use their paws like they are professional boxers at times all while keeping things lighthearted and fun. Shepherd play is definitely entertaining to say the least. Kaiser would love to have a dog sibling in the home, but if you don't have one, that's okay too. He does not need the company of another dog to satisfy his energy needs or to help him open up. Kaiser would love to be in a home with a backyard where he can sunbathe anytime he wants, roll in the grass, and explore all the fun smells. He would make a great companion while you garden and relax on the patio enjoying the fresh air. He’ll enjoy going on neighborhood walks, mini adventures and then will happily lay next to you for cozy time. Kaiser is such a good boy, a 10/10! Now, he just needs a family to call his own. We are willing to test Kaiser Cruz with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

Searching for a personal assistant who doesn't take notes, but does take naps? Meet Hanky: He is the ultimate definition of a velcro dog. If there were a map of your house, his favorite destination would be Right Next To You. He’s a gentle soul who prefers a cozy hangout session over a wild party, making him the perfect companion for anyone who loves a quiet afternoon and a loyal sidekick. Wait until you see those puppy dog eyes in action Watch Hanky’s adoption video! https://youtu.be/7fFX-GAgDW8 What exactly is Hanky Pank ? While we’d love to check his family tree, as with any rescue, we’re mostly making an educated (and very cute) guess! He’s 67 lbs of pure adoration, with a heart that’s clearly much larger than his frame. Think of him as a premium, fur-covered weighted blanket that’s always ready for a snuggle. Hanky is currently flourishing in a foster home where he’s learning that the world is a pretty great place. He is a true gentleman who treats every interaction with a quiet, polite grace. When you offer him a snack, he takes it with the gentlest of touches, often following it up with a soft thank you kiss that will absolutely melt your heart. When it comes to making four legged friends, Hanky is all about the slow and steady approach. He’s a polite soul who gets along with everyone from tiny pups to big companions his own size. Hanky Pank isn’t the let’s wrestle type, he’s much more of a quiet co-exist. He prefers friends who share his chill vibe and appreciate the finer things in life, like a long nap in a patch of sunlight. He’d be a wonderful brother to a calm resident dog, but he’s also perfectly content to be your one and only and soak up all the attention for himself. Whether he’s part of a pack or your solo sidekick, Hanky just wants everyone to feel as relaxed as he is. Whether your pack includes other four legged friends or just a few favorite humans, Hanky is officially ready to move in and make himself at home. If you have a spot on the floor and an even bigger spot in your heart Hanky is ready to be your most loyal sidekick for life. What about feline roommates? While Hanky is a world-class lover, he’s decided that he’d prefer a feline free sanctuary. He is looking for a home where he can be the star of the show without any cat. Hanky’s dream home is a peaceful sanctuary where he can be the center of your world. While he’d love a yard to sniff around in, his calm demeanor makes him perfectly suited for apartment living as long as he has his favorite human nearby. There is something deeply special about winning Hanky’s heart: once he knows he’s home, he becomes a total tail wagging machine the very moment you walk through the door, greeting you with a rhythm that says, I’m so glad you’re back. It’s a sweet, soulful welcome that reminds you every single day just how much you are loved. In every way that matters, Hanky is a soulful, gentle, and incredibly loyal friend who is simply looking for a soft place to land and a person to call his own. He is a low gear guy with high quality love to give the kind of companion who doesn't need much more than your presence to be perfectly happy. Ready to bring this sweet shadow home?
