Story

02/28/26 15:43 When staff approached the kennel to leash him, he readily walked into the leash loop on his own. Outside of the kennel, he was friendly and highly social, seeking attention from staff members.He approached multiple staff, sniffed appropriately, leaned into them, and moved his head to solicit petting.He allowed full physical restraint during handling (prior to vaccination) without issue.He was easily distracted by environmental smells while outside.When a muzzle was placed, he initially allowed it.However, when staff approached to administer a vaccine, he became highly aroused and began snapping and whipping his head around. He remained elevated/aroused until he was physically moved away from the vaccination area.Overall, he demonstrates friendly, social behavior in general handling situations, with heightened sensitivity during medical procedures involving injections. MH02/19/26 14:51Needs rescue urgent due to handling sensitivities, leading to attempts to bite and thrashing to deter handlers when being restrained or attempting to vaccinate; Bites made contact but did not break skin. Unable to fully vaccinate due to this behavior. Easily aroused and displays rowdy behavior, nipping at extremities when excited and attempting to mount/hump when interacting with handlers.

Story

Dillon was 1.5yrs young when we adopted him from Milpitas Humane Society in 2019. He had an ear infection being treated at the time. Recently it came back. Besides that he is happy and healthy. We live with 3 children (2 teens and a toddler) and Dillon is very gently with them and is always excited to see them coming home from school. Unfortunately we are relocating and downsizing and overall don’t have time and can not afford taking him to the vet for his ear infection due to one of our children going under heart surgery which is putting us in a difficult time financially. New home we are planning to move in does not allow “large” dogs. I am very heartbroken writing this post but I am hoping to find my Dillon a good home that has the time for him.

Story

Montana is an affectionate 4-year-old Lab/Pit mix who’s ready to be your loyal companion for life. This sweet girl is a fetch fanatic who lives for playtime and loves nothing more than chasing balls with her favorite humans. She’s both treat and toy motivated and ready to learn new tricks. Montana gets along fine with other dogs, but she’s truly a people-focused pup who wants to be your number-one play partner. On a recent Doggie Day Out adventure, she proved to be a calm car passenger and a wonderful trail companion. She enjoys sniffy walks and likes to lead the way without pulling on the leash. Though Montana can be a little shy when meeting new people, she warms up quickly with patience (and a few tasty treats). Once she feels comfortable, she enjoys gentle petting and cuddle time with her friends. If you can toss a tennis ball, you’re already in her inner circle! Montana was placed on final because shelter life has become overwhelming for her. Repeated encounters with unfamiliar people reaching into her kennel have left her feeling uneasy, and she may growl or show her teeth to ask for space. But outside the kennel, Montana’s true personality shines—sweet, playful, and full of love. Montana will thrive in a calm, patient home that gives her time to decompress and build trus ##2599337##

Story

STABBED BY HIS OWNER, NOW HES ALL ALONE Rescue preferred This is not the life Buster deserves to be living Buster came to the shelter in July after being stabbed by his owner with a sword. He was seen by an offsite vet, his owner was arrested, and he has been here as evidence ever since. His owner’s case was dismissed due to a lack of evidence (unfortunately), and Buster is now FINALLY able to leave the shelter after being cooped up in a kennel for over FIVE MONTHS. We prefer that Buster goes to a rescue, as we do not want Buster to ever have to go back to the person who did this to him— he deserves better. He deserves love. Buster’s story is sad, but please do not bring him into your home unprepared just because his story tugs at your heart. Anyone who takes Buster home needs to be prepared for a long and potentially rocky and frustrating decompression process. Being in a shelter for so long is not easy and takes a toll on a dog’s psyche (and behaviors). He needs space and grace to heal. Currently, Buster’s mind is all over the place so it takes him a bit to connect with people because he is just too overwhelmed. He needs someone who understands that it may not be love at first sight. Someone patient who will not necessarily shower him with love but will give him structure, boundaries, and a safe place to rest his bones. Buster seems to want to be with dogs, but again, he needs to decompress. He lacks manners and shows some dominant behaviors, possibly due to how stressed he is. We cannot say for sure how his opinion of dogs and behaviors toward them will change once he is in a home, but currently he would do best with SLOW intros (decompression!!!!) and a tolerant, friendly dog. ##2619651##

Story

Bella is a young (0-1 year old) female Australian Cattle dog mix. She is kind and gentle and loves to go on walks! She's good with other dogs and also wants to meet them. I found this wonderful girl on the side of the highway in Los Banos. After calling a local farming business near where I found her I found out that she was a stray in the area that they would feed when their office was open. However, at night and on the weekends she was completely homeless and no one would take care of her. For now, my parents are fostering her and are giving her tender love and care! Unfortunately they are getting older and its difficult enough for them to take care of their own dogs. I'm looking for a new home for her where she would get lots of love. Please contact me if you're interested, thank you!

Story

Peanut Butter is adorable, sweet, playful and very energetic dog! She loves to play outside and love cuddles and hugs! We adopted her in April and she is been super spoiled since then, but unfortunately, my special needs son had a seizure, a hospitalization and lots of complications after that. Our family is struggling with my son's situation and our sweet pet is not getting the care she needs and wants. Because of that complex situation, we don't have conditions to keep Peanut Butter. We are facing a hard family time and she deserves more attention that we are able to give her now. She still needs to be trained but she is doing a great job potty training. If you wants a lovely dog who loves kids and play, she is your girl!

Casca is a very happy Australian Heeler, she absolutely loves people and is very loyal. She was on the euthanasia list because her front leg has a scar from being broken while homeless.
