Story
Pharoahs a 1 year old rescue from the streets of Sacramento. He is the biggest baby and such a love. We are heart broken we have to get rid of him and want him to go to a family that can love him more than we currently can. He is good with cats after being introduced, he is good with kids. He is kennel trained and potty trained. He is a very smart and a good dog but I think most importantly he needs to be in a home with no other dogs. As of recently he has started to get more territorial in the house with our other dogs. He needs more social training in public. He was doing really good but as of recently another big dog ran up to him at the park and was not being friendly so he has been a little anxious since that situation. If you are an active, outdoorsy person with a yard, he is the dog for you. He loves hikes, swimming, and is a quick learner when it comes to training. He is very obedient and eager to learn when he builds a bond with you.

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
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.

Gigi

Labrador Retriever American Pit Bull Terrier

Story
Meet Gigi! Gigi is the perfect balance of independant, but also engaged. Meaning she doesn't have to always be up in your business. She is content to explore without constant attention, but also enjoys cuddling on the couch while you watch your favorite TV program. Gigi is a healthy adult dog. And despite the gray muzzle, she' only about 4 years old. She's an active girl, who also likes to curl up and relax on the couch with her favorite people. She knows the command "sit" and can give you her full attention for a "watch me." She enjoys treats and takes her treat rewards with a gentle mouth. Gigi enjoys a nice walk. She does pull a bit on leash, and is learning to walk politely. She is also non-reactive to other dogs during her walks, which is a nice bonus. Because we don't have a foster home available, Gigi is currently in boarding. We would love to get her into a foster home so we can get to know her better, but for now, one of our volunteers goes to visit her on the weekends and takes her out for outings and visits to her house. Our volunteer reports that Gigi does very well during those outings. She loads up easily in the car and seems to enjoy car rides. She is a polite guest at her house, and behaves nicely on walks with her resident dogs. Gigi is selective about her canine friends, but could do well with the right match and proper and slow introductions. If you're interested in meeting Gigi for foster or adoption, please let us know. She's a really great dog and would make someone a wonderful companion. Interested in meeting Gigi?
