Story
This is Monty! He's a 4 year old English Bulldog that loves to sit in the sun and spend time with his humans. Monty loves to go outside on walks and play inside with balls and chew toys. He's a silly bulldog that will be a great companion for someone who spends a lot of time at home since he loves to nap and simply be around his family. He is crate trained though, so he is able to spend time alone during the day too. We are looking to rehome Monty because he has shown reactivity toward small children. Our daughter is 6 and has learned his boundaries, but we are looking to add another baby to the family and don't think Monty will be happy in that environment. We are hoping to find a loving family that is willing to take him on as their own because he deserves so much love! Monty is reactive toward other dogs as well, but we have learned to walk him away from other dogs and keep him distracted. He's smart and food motivated so training and socialization is possible!

Story
Bear is a 5-year-old Great Pyrenees looking for a new home and family to protect. He grew up with 4 small children, one other dog, and a big, fenced-in yard that backed up to a large field full of coyotes and wild boars. He loved to run the perimeter and bark, scaring off all sorts of threats. However, due to my job, we recently moved into an apartment community with no yard. Despite our best efforts, our new living situation has proven to be unsuitable for Bear, and he is not living the life kind of life that he deserves. He needs a house with a yard, and he needs to be able to bark. He is very loving and gentle with his family, but very territorial and protective, and will bark aggressively at any strangers or animals approaching the house. We want him to have a good life, and are willing to drive any distance to deliver him to a good home. He would make an excellent farm dog, and was bred to be a livestock protector! Please consider letting Bear join your family.

Story
Koda is a beautiful, loving 7-year-old Australian Shepherd/Border Collie Mix (~65 lbs). Sadly, he's struggling to adjust to life with our toddler, and we want to explore finding him the right home where he can truly thrive. Could Your House be Koda's Ideal Home? - No children, no cats, and no other dogs (he may be ok with one other dog with a slow introduction as he is dog reactive and has a strong prey drive). - Ideally a home in a suburban or rural area where he can run and play - A family who understands herding breeds, respects their intelligence, and can provide him with both physical and mental stimulation. - A family who enjoys and prioritizes engaging with their dog consistently every day. He loves scent work, puzzle feeders, and training sessions and likely would love barn hunting/ herding. His personality is opinionated, but deeply loving. He responds to respect and positive reinforcement, never force.

Story
Cooper is a male GSD, approx. three years old. He was found running the streets of Stockton in June and picked up as a stray. By July 11, this sweet soul was suffering from kennel stress and was scheduled to be euthanized. Danielle and Peter read his plight and immediately decided to foster Cooper, who was on borrowed time. He was to be euthanized by 5:00 on July 12. Once outside of the shelter and in his foster home Cooper started to relax. And boy did he. He napped and napped like he missed a year of sleep. He slowly met the resident dogs in the house, observed the backyard chickens and peeked at the resident cat, sometimes barking to let him know he saw him. Cooper's silly side started to come out too. He gets the zoomies and seeks out affection from his foster mom and dad with head nudges, paws on an arm or leg, and a lean against them. Cooper is currently living with three older GSDs (two females and a male) and would do best in a home with an older, confident female dog to pal around with. Cooper is potty trained and sleeps in a crate overnight. He is working on leash walking, sit, and how to settle in his crate during the day for short intervals. He will need someone who is experienced, patient, and will keep a consistent schedule with him. This gentle boy is looking to connect with his forever person. FOSTERED IN ACAMPO
