Story
Current Location: Korea 🇰🇷 ♡ 🧡 Meet Ma-eum A gentle soul learning to love again Ma-eum spent his early years tied outside on a farm, living in fear. He was abused by a male owner and frightened by children who threw balls at him. Because of that, he is still afraid of men, loud playground sounds, and the sight of bouncing toys. But despite all this, Ma-eum has the gentlest heart. For the past two years, he has been living in a patient and loving foster home. He has made slow, steady progress — on his terms — and is now ready for the next chapter of his life. 🧬 Personality Ma-eum is a quiet, thoughtful boy with a soft energy. He feels safest around gentle women with warm voices, and he truly thrives in calm, peaceful homes. He may keep his distance from men indoors, but sometimes shows more courage when outdoors. He isn’t the kind of dog who will run into your arms — but with time and patience, he’ll follow you anywhere. He enjoys peaceful walks, nosework games, gentle pets, and long naps by your side. He doesn't bark much, and he waits quietly when left alone after a short adjustment. 🏡 At Home ✅ House-trained (prefers peeing on vertical surfaces — his foster can provide wall-to-floor pads) ✅ Good with calm dogs (interested and social but may growl at overly excited dogs) ✅ Neutral to cats (no strong prey drive) ✅ Tolerates children (nervous around fast movements but never aggressive) ✅ Excellent in the car ✅ Loves brushing and gentle touch 🚫 Afraid of balls and squeaky toys — he prefers games with treats instead 💛 Ma-eum is looking for… A family who will let him set the pace. Someone who doesn’t expect instant cuddles but understands how meaningful it is when a shy dog chooses to stay close. Ideally, a female adopter or a quiet household with gentle energy. 📦 Foster home can provide pee pad setup 📍 Adoption includes interview & home check 📩 If Ma-eum’s story touched your heart, we’d love to tell you more. He’s been waiting a long time for someone who sees past the fear — and into his true, beautiful heart

Story
Meet Ursus! This handsome boy has a big heart and an even bigger personality. He's truly beautiful-inside and out-but he can be a little nervous and delightfully weird while he's figuring things out. New situations and unfamiliar people may make him unsure at first, but once he feels safe, his sweet, goofy side shines through. He does best with patient humans who understand that trust takes time and who can appreciate his quirks. With consistency, gentle guidance, and lots of reassurance, he blossoms into a loyal, affectionate companion who will keep you smiling every day.

Story
Lily is an awesome Dog. She was born from working dogs lines in Modesto. She couldnt stay on Farm because she was not a breeder. She loves looooong walks, weve spent days out in the Mountains, and shes the perfect wilderness companion. She is ridiculous smart like all Collies. Very sweet, loves people, kids, cats and little dogs. Has a slight trust issue with dogs her own size and bigger. She is very much a pack animal, not solitary. I have to part ways with my Princess as I have to move for work. Im super sad. Want her to go to a good home that will take her into the wilderness and looong adventures She is not a stay at home dog at all...

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Taz was brought to our shelter on 1/9/26 after being found in unincorporated Livermore. He hasn't been reclaimed by his previous person, so he's now looking for a new home! Taz is a fun pup with the energy to keep up with an active person who wants to include him on their adventures! He seems to be a smart and trainable dog, but right now is still working on polishing his basic manners (like not jumping when excited), so for the time being, we think he is best suited for a home without small children. His adoption fee is $35, plus licensing (if applicable). The cost of his neuter surgery is sponsored! ** Taz would do best in a home without small children or cats ** ## See video of Taz at the end of the photo gallery! ## TVAR.org/find-your-pet-adopt/dogs-puppies/ Taz’s Shelter ID# is 88672. He is an approximately 2-year-old, tricolor, Cattle Dog mix. He currently weighs around 44 lbs. He has already been vaccinated, microchipped and neutered and is ready to go to his new home! Taz is located in kennel C-5. ** Age shown is an estimate only ** THIS IS A COURTESY POSTING If you are interested, please call the East County Animal Shelter at 925-803-7040 to see if this dog is still available.

Story
Meet Kismet – A Resilient and Loving Companion Looking for Her Forever Home Kismet is a stunning 1-2-year-old Australian Cattle Dog with a heart as big as her beautiful personality. She also happens to be deaf, but that doesn’t slow her down one bit! This sweet girl found herself in a crowded Central Valley shelter, on the verge of giving birth. Perhaps being deaf was a small blessing in such a loud and overwhelming place—but it was still a frightening experience for her. Thankfully, Lucky Dog Rescue stepped in, and Kismet was whisked away to a loving foster home where she could safely raise her newborn puppies. Kismet was a wonderful, devoted mom, and now that all her puppies have found their forever homes, it’s finally her turn. Kismet is great with other dogs. She enjoys playing with the younger dogs in her foster home and is respectful of the senior dog. She’s housebroken, has mastered the dog door, and sleeps quietly in her crate at night. Like many young dogs, she can be a bit mischievous—she’s been known to chew on things she shouldn’t—but she’s learning to redirect her energy toward appropriate chew toys. On leash, Kismet walks well but can be a little cautious in new environments. She’s shy when meeting new people and needs time to warm up, but with patience and kindness, she blossoms into a loving, affectionate companion. Once she trusts you, she’ll shower you with cuddles—yes, Kismet is a snuggler! Highly food-motivated, Kismet knows “sit” and is learning additional hand-signal commands. With continued training and love, she’ll thrive in a patient and understanding home. Are you the one who will give Kismet the forever home she deserves? If you’re interested in adopting Kismet, please complete our adoption application at 1luckydogrescue.org or email Sue, dogs@s2springer.com.
