Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.   Hutch is a  transfer from the SFSPCA. He was a bit overwhelmed by all the city noise and activity. He has settled in at the ranch and is such a sweetheart! This little guy is a true snuggle bug and couldn't be more adorable with his big Chihuahua ears and long graceful legs. Hutch has been with us for many years and is bonded to his kennel mate (brother?) Rickie. He's a senior guy now and has a few health conditions such as arthritis. He's an easy keeper though, and is more like a cat than a dog. He prefers to be indoors or laying in a sunny spot in the yard where it is quiet. He prefers napping to walking these days and is looking for a home with Rickie where he can live out his golden years. All of our animals are up-to-date on their vaccinations, spayed/neutered, microchipped, and have had a physical exam. At adoption we provide: veterinary records and vaccine certificates, castration certificate, lifetime lost animal support, one month’s worth of flea medication and heartworm medication, one week’s worth of food, a leash, a collar, an ID tag, and a familiar toy or blanket to help them settle in. We also provide lifetime basic positive training support.   If you would like to meet any of our animals, please complete our adoption application at www.azayaranchsanctuary.org or email info@azayaranchsanctuary.org.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.   Rickie is a shy guy that loves going for walks. He is even good with kitties! His mix is a mystery as he has long graceful legs and dainty little ears. His personality has really started to shine and he is a goofy little clown that shows his affection by rubbing his head against you. Rickie has been with us for many years and is bonded to his kennel mate (brother?) Hutch. Rickie is an easy keeper and is happy to nap the day away in a cozy or sunny spot. He still enjoys a stroll around the neighborhood and is fine with other dogs, although energetic puppies can be too much for him. Come meet this silly and entertaining little man today!

Story
[We're working on getting more pictures, so please check back. That puppy pic is definitely outdated, but she was an adorable little one!] Yes, this sweet little LTR alumnus is back with us. Sometimes adoptions just don't work out, even after many months, and so, without any judgment, we think it's best to get the pup into a home where she can thrive. So..... here we are. Naomi is about a year and a half old, so she still has plenty of energy. She loves to go for runs, and craves to be the apple of your eye. She gets along with other dogs, usually after a "proper" introduction. We're not sure how she is with men, but we'll be testing that out, and we hear that Naomi needs to have some chew toys handy to help with her abundance of energy.

Good with dogs,
Story
Rumple came to us via Fresno Humane where he was dropped off as a stray. Rumple must have been dumped, because he doesn’t roam or bolt, he’s very good to stay close to home and he’s eager to please. The shelter thinks he’s around 2 and he’s already neutered. We suspect he’s younger than 2 because of his puppy energy! He’s around 14 pounds and is almost housebroken. If he has an accident it’s on the pee pads. We can’t say enough great stuff about Rumple!
