Story
Miata is a 2-year-old, 45-pound Border Collie/Australian Shepherd mix who has shown us that sometimes a shelter kennel simply doesn't tell the whole story.When Miata first arrived, she seemed like a shy, uncertain girl. The noise and activity of the shelter were overwhelming for her, and she often looked to people for reassurance. But get this little Miata out of the shelter and onto the open road, and suddenly she shifts into a whole different gear!On a recent day trip, Miata blossomed into a sweet, affectionate, happy girl who greeted everyone she met with wiggles, tail wags, and the occasional enthusiastic jump. Apparently, once she feels comfortable, this Miata comes fully loaded with affection.She definitely knows how to have fun. Fetch is her thing! She loves chasing the ball and will occasionally play with other toys too. As a young Border Collie/Australian Shepherd mix, she'll likely do best with a family ready to provide regular exercise, playtime, adventures, and mental stimulation. This is one Miata that was definitely built to move!She is wonderfully easy to walk on leash and was neutral toward the dogs she encountered while out and about, including dogs seen on leash and through a gate.Miata even figured out how to hop into the car by her third try. Apparently she just needed a couple of driving lessons before she was road-trip ready.Baths, however, are NOT included in Miata’s preferred maintenance package. She was a good sport about getting one anyway and came out looking and smelling fabulous.She may already be house-trained, too. Her shelter kennel is typically clean, and she had no accidents while visiting a home.Miata has reminded us why getting shelter dogs out for day trips can be so important. The timid girl we initially met at the shelter is becoming a happy, affectionate, playful dog once she gets away from all the noise and stress. Sometimes you just have to get a Miata out of the garage to see what she can really do.Miata seems like the kind of dog who could fit beautifully into many different homes. She just needs people who will give her the activity and stimulation she needs and plenty of love.No test drive necessary. Miata is ready for the real thing: a family of her ownSo drive on over after making an appointment at yoloshelter.org/dogs, or email adopt@yoloshelter.org.October 6, 2026, 2:13 pm

Story
Roy needs a new home to no fault of his own. Roy is a very lovable 11 year old dog who just wants to be everyone’s best friend. He is a little nervous when meeting new dogs but once he is properly introduced to a calm and non reactive dog he can live with another dog. He gets along best with dogs that are smaller than him and calm. Roy loves being around children because he loves to run and play with them but he does not do well cats because he tries to chase them. He is happy to be lazy with you during the day and go on long walks in the morning and evening. Even with his age he is very strong and likes to jog and play fetch. Roy is crate trained but has been sleeping out of the crate for many years without any accident or chewing/destruction. He is extremely food motivated and knows a few commands. He loves treat puzzles and chew treats. When you’re at work or school he will lay on the sofa and wait to greet you when you get home

Story
If you love herding dogs and are looking for a velcro dog, Molly is your girl! This sweetheart is absolutely dedicated to her human. Molly will attempt to hug you every second of every minute she is with you. Trying to pick something up off the floor? Nope, you're getting smothered in kisses. Want to go to the bathroom by yourself? Uh un, no you may not shut that door without this sleek little shadow zipping in faster than lightning. Molly was brought to the shelter as a stray, and her coat and behaviors show she was out on a grand adventure for a bit. Now that she is clean and groomed, this black beauty is a cuddle bug who easily redirects from inspecting the trash. Molly needs slow introductions to other dogs and does well with submissive dogs. She does very well with redirection and distraction when she starts to get antsy around other dogs. Really, these behaviors are insecurity of her environment, but she has learned to adapt to pack life quite easily. Her herding instincts are very strong and she loves to play with the herding ball and direct the other dogs in games of chase. Molly has not been tested with cats, but she would likely chase them. She is a little nervous when loose in the car, but rides very well in her kennel. She likes to bark at grey trucks in particular. Molly is approximately 2 years old, is spayed, and is UTD on her vaccinations. She will need an active family who can give her the exercise and mental stimulation this girl needs to thrive!

Story
To apply or learn more about Isco, go to: https://www.heartsforpawsrescue.com/219873/2023/11/2/isco Indigo is a 4 yr neutered cattle dog whippet mix (best guess) in need of a special home! Adopted as a puppy through HFP back in 2020, Indigo is looking for a quiet, calm adult home as your one and only! ✅ no separation anxiety ✅ housetrained, crate trained ✅ wonderful base of basic training ✅ smart & trainable ✅ cutest submissive grin/wiggle butt when you come home ✅ moderate activity (relaxed inside but loves to fetch and play!) ✅ doing much better at car travel He was adopted as a 4 month old puppy through HFP but sadly returned 3 years later -- he is currently in a Sacramento Foster home but is really in need of a home of his very own as his foster cannot keep him forever. More about Isco: he has a great base of training and ready to impress you with all his cues, including: Sit, Wait/Stay, Bed, Crate, Down and Off. He walks well on leash and doesn’t pull a ton. He LOVES to sniff everything during his walkies aka Sniffaris ( but doesn’t stop to mark, only sniff). He would do best in a quieter neighborhood as very busy places can make him nervous. Moderate energy -- he loves playing fetch in the backyard and a long daily walk would be ideal for Isco. In the home he is relaxed and independent. He has lived with 2 small dogs in the past and may be able to make dog acquaintances with slow intros but does not have a ton of experience with other dogs at this time. He would do best as prince of the palace as a solo dog in the home. Indigo previously lived with a cat who he loved to play with but can chase other cats, he may do well in a home with a well-matched cat friends; we ALWAYS recommend slow intros into the home/early separation for cats/dogs as they get to know one another. Indigo has the CUTEST prance and loves to play fetch. He is treat motivated which makes continued training and intros to people much more of a breeze. Housetrained, Crate Trained, around 55 lbs. Neutered, Vaccinated, Vetted, ready to be yours! Indigo adoption donation is sponsored. You might be wondering what “sponsored” means. A dog is sponsored when their foster or a donor loves them so much that they cover the adoption donation for a future adopter. This in hopes that the pup finds his or her forever family ASAP!
