Story
Athena is an energetic girl who loves people and toys. She loves to play ball and tug of war. She needs tough toys as she tends to eat them if they fall apart. Her favorites are tough rubber balls and ropes. Athena also likes to sleep near people and loves belly rubs. Athena needs space to run and lots of love and attention. She can sit and shake for treats (with both paws). She does tend to drool a bit if she is overstimulated or hungry and she will slosh water when she drinks because she likes to stick her face in it! She does tend to be a bit food aggressive so she will growl if people/pets are near her food bowl but she can eat with another dog as long as they aren't right next to her or trying to eat out of her bowl. Athena was raised with lots of people, 5 kids, 4 cats, and another dog around. She will chase cats if they run but she's never hurt one. She even played with one of our more feisty cats. We love Athena but she deserves a better life than we can currently provide.

Story
Coco is a 4-year-old purebred Belgian Malinois with a big personality and an even bigger heart. She is incredibly loving, affectionate, and thrives on connection with her people. Coco is great with kids and has experience being friendly with most other dogs, making her a wonderful companion for an active family. She has a playful side and absolutely loves chasing a ball — it’s one of her favorite things in the world. Whether it’s playtime in the yard or a car ride with her head out the window, she finds joy in the simple moments and brings that energy into every day. Coco is smart, loyal, and full of life, exactly what you would expect from a Malinois. She would do best in a home that can give her the time, attention, and activity she deserves. She is not a fan of cats, so a cat-free home would be ideal. Making the decision to rehome Coco has not been easy. She is truly the best dog I’ve ever had, and this comes from a place of wanting more for her.

Story
***Currently located Downey, CA*** Aloha, my name is Markie! I’m currently looking for my furever family… could that be you? At first, I was given to a young man who quickly realized he wasn’t quite ready for the responsibilities of a very young puppy. Thankfully, he reached out to my amazing foster mom and that’s how I got my second chance! Now I’m learning all kinds of wonderful things and playing every single day. My foster mom says I’m a pretty good boy (and I think she’s right ). I’m crate trained and sleep through the night like a champ. I’m discovering how fun it is to spend time with humans and my puppy friends. My days are pretty simple and perfect: we eat, play, nap… and then do it all over again! I’ve been introduced to the leash and I’m doing pretty well.  I  just need a little patience as I keep learning. I love being held, cuddling close, and giving lots of sweet kisses. Right now, I’m working on important life skills like listening, taking treats gently, and learning that I will always have food and love. There’s still so much for me to learn, and I’m so excited to have someone like you teach me. I promise to be your best friend and loyal companion,  I’ll follow you anywhere. Go ahead… fill out that application so we can meet and start our happily ever after.

Story
Cane Corso x Rottweiler mix. 6 females and 4 males available. Parents are both quality registered dogs. Ceasar (sire) is the son of the well known Cane Corso, X-Man. Sire and bitch approximately 80-85lbs. Both are active, good natured dogs that have been raised around children. These are full siblings to our dog, Griz. Griz who weighs 140lbs. He goes hiking and climbs the hay stack, with a chill disposition. Enough drive to enjoy games like fetch and willing enough for obedience activities. He's a ranch favorite with the look of a guard dog and the attitude of a lap dog. We can attest to the quality and good nature of these dogs that you could enjoy too. Our puppy has developed into an excellent companion around kids, families, and our other pets and livestock. This is a great cross that we can attest any family will immediately fall in love with. They have a strong presence and a sweet nature, excellent family companions. They are quality dogs, a great addition to any family

Story
Bailey is one Chill Dude! He is a big Velcro Dog. He pretty much just wants to sleep most of the day, as long as he knows where you are but loves a nice long walk too. He is great on leash, no pulling or reactivity. He is the epitome of a gentle giant. He loves his foster's Cal King bed. She said she probably should not have let him get on it BUT the lure of having a huge snuggle bunny in bed at night, was just too tempting. Now he is in heaven and rarely leaves the bed. Bailey came from the Stockton Shelter, he had a large mass on his spleen, and an enlarged prostate with 2 very large testicles swinging around. We were able to raise $5,000 to get all of his medical done - splenectomy, neuter and ears cleaned and treated) and now he is just perfect. Tumor was benign so he is ready to be your life size snuggle bunny, if you are ready. We have noticed slight resource guarding with human food (reason he should not be in the kitchen) and high value treats but it is not very bad and we are working on it using "trade up" or not allowing him to have items he feels he needs to guard. As far as other dogs, he really does not care about them. Same with cats, just sorta looks at them and then goes about his business. BUT, that does not mean there is no prey drive. We will be testing him. As far as children go, we have not had him around any of those yet, but will. I suspect he treats them just like everything else, checks it out and then moves on his way. He does have a special need. We are pretty sure he is deaf. While he was under for his operation they cleaned out his ears and treated them but he still does not really hear much. Might be why he is so chill. We will have the ears looked at next to see if there is anything more needed for him. He is ready for new foster home or adoption. We are willing to do a Foster to Adopt or just a foster if you are interested. We need him to get more interaction with other stimuli, the home he is in now is very quiet.

Story
Say hello to Chloe! Chloe came to us after being removed from a bad situation. Since then, she' been spayed, vaccinated, micro-chipped and is living large indoors and luvin it!! She adores all things soft - soft blankets, soft beds, soft laps. Since joining our foster's home back in May, Chloe has learned so many new things. She has learned that riding in a car isn't so bad if there's something good at the destination! She is completely crate-trained and house trained, and has learned to walk on a leash and go for adventures. She even went on a camping trip and was such a great camp dog, hanging out with her peeps in camp.Chloe loves to sunbathe and get belly rubs. She loves to cuddle on the couch and sleep in bed with her favorite humans. She enjoys meeting new people. During our last adoption event, she surprised everyone by how confident she was. She just wanted to meet all the people! Chloe is affectionate and gentle. She is patient and kind. She is curious and goofy. We feel that she would do well with well-mannered children, and she might even be okay with a canine companion. We have opened her world to so many new things, and she has taken everything in stride, confidently clearing all hurdles! She is ready to spread her wings in her new life with her forever family!
