Story
Buddy was born in November of 2020. We got him from a local breeder in Sacramento when he was 8 weeks old. It took him a while to get adjusted to other people due to the social distancing and isolating during that time. In spite of that, he is very playful, energetic and loves easily (Especially if treats are involved). He enjoys the outdoors, playing ball, going to the river and soaking up the sun. We currently have a cat and he gets along very well with her, in fact they are very playful (Like brother and sister). We are looking to place Buddy with a family who has the time to care for him. My husband and I are about to become empty nesters and plan to start traveling more as we both work remotely so caring for Buddy is becoming a challenge. We are hopeful he can be the perfect addition to your family.

Story
DOB: 5/13/2025 Sex: Female Breed: Chihuahua/Mini Shepherd/Cocker Spaniel/Mix (Per DNA Results) Estimated Adult Weight: 30 lbs +/- Meet Roqa, your future free-spirited pup ready to leap & jump her way straight into your heart! She’s a smart sweetheart who is always prepared to make you proud, and with a simple routine and a bit of basic training, she’ll happily show off how quick she can master newly taught skills…her wagging tail is basically a built-in applause meter. If you’re looking for a cheerful, goofy companion who’s always ready to brighten your day, keep you moving & cuddle after a long day; she might just be your perfect match. She’s cute, clever, and full of joy — a total “pawsitive” addition to any home. Roqa does great with all other dogs and even knows when to give them their space, she's good with cats but wants to play so would do best with dog savvy kitties and slow introductions, and a home with either no kids or older kids. Roqa is potty trained, loves to play (even learned fetch) and ready for her forever home that will give her the attention she deserves! **All Itsie Bitsie Puppies are spayed/neutered, microchipped, started on vaccines, dewormed, and vet-checked. IBR requires landlord permission for renters and a yard check for all puppies. We do not adopt out siblings. Please allow volunteers a few days to look over applications. An adoption fee applies. Volunteers will CALL if your application is selected for a phone interview.

Story
My wife had adopted Bumi (King Bumi if you want to be formal) just before we got together. Now that we have started a family, we found out that he isn't the best with small children. Our 1-year-old is a bit too much for him to handle. He doesn't do BAD with her, but he isn't good with her either. He has always struggled with baths and getting his nails clipped. I highly recommend he is taken to a groomer for this; he has bitten our hands before. He's a sweet dog 98% of the time. He has been acting out a bit lately because we haven't been able to provide the same amount of attention as we used to. I think he misses his "brother" our yellow lab who has already been rehomed. He will be best suited for a household that doesn't have small children and can give him lots of attention. He loves playing fetch, does fairly well with other dogs, but has a bit of "little man" syndrome. He hasn't had any problems with the cats he been around thus far, if the cat is "chill" he's chill.

Story
🐾 Meet Mr. Cash 🐾 With the heaviest hearts, we’re looking for a new forever home for our sweet boy, Mr. Cash. We adopted him as a tiny baby and have loved him every single day since. Unfortunately, due to an upcoming move, we can no longer keep him, and it’s breaking our hearts. We just want to make sure he finds a home filled with the same love, kindness, and compassion he’s always known. Mr. Cash is a gentle, affectionate soul who loves to snuggle. He truly is a big baby at heart—soft, sweet, and happiest when he’s close to his people. He gets along well with everyone and has such a kind spirit. He is still young and learning, so there are a couple things to know: • He occasionally has accidents in the house, but he’s improving with routine. • He may dart out of the door if it’s left open, so he needs a family who can keep him safe and be mindful of doors and gates. Other than that, he’s an absolute joy—playful, cuddly, friendly, and full of love.

Story
Lainey is a darling little chihuahua mix. She was born around 2/2024 and is currently 9 lbs. Lainey is happy, playful, affectionate and medium energy. She has a gentle, submissive, sweet way about her that is very endearing. She can be shy when meeting new people but has shown she will warm up with slow, gentle introductions and treats. Lainey likes playing with her toys and chewing on her chewy bones. She likes to explore in the yard and play chase with her dog buddies. She enjoys being with her people and desires to be a large part of her family’s life. She likely would not do well being left home alone daily for long hours. Lainey enjoys the company of other friendly, respectful dogs who are not overly dominant. She seems to prefer dogs around her size to play and romp around with. She will play with some larger dogs provided they are not overly rough. She does not enjoy rambunctious, wrestling type play but does love to play chase with other dogs. Lainey currently lives with well balanced dogs of all sizes and does well with them. She also lives with dog savvy cats and is respectful with them but she might challenge shy kitties and chase if they run. Children would likely overwhelm her so an adult only home is recommended. She really enjoys a yard so no apartments for her. She is crate trained, doing well with house training and learning to walk politely on a leash. Lainey would likely do well with a person who has the time, patience and understanding to help her adjust in a new home. She would enjoy a confident, friendly dog buddy to pal around with, help show her the ropes and keep her company while her humans are away from home. Lainey is a little sweetheart who is a joy to foster and is patiently waiting for her forever home. Please email right away if you would like to learn more about this dog......and visit our website www.siarescuers.org to learn more about our rescue group.
