Story
***Currently located in Vancouver, BC*** Hi, I’m Kinnari — but you can call me Ki! I’m a dreamy, soft-hearted girl with a quietly playful spirit and a big love for life’s little wonders. I was rescued from a construction site in the south of Troncones during the rainy season, and since then, I’ve been growing into the dog I was meant to be — curious, independent, and full of gentle energy. I’m calm and introverted by nature, often lost in my own thoughts while watching birds and butterflies dance by. But don’t let that fool you — I have a playful side that comes alive when I’m with my buddy Lacey or during a fun game of chase. I love long walks, especially in nature or to the beach , and I’m happiest when I get to explore at my own pace. I’m pretty independent and know how to enjoy my own company, but I do ask for love on my own terms — gentle hugs when I wake up, cuddles during quiet moments , and reassurance when storms roll in (they still make me quite nervous ). I’m a total foodie and have a special weakness for eggs and chicken — I’m graceful, so I won’t beg, but I won’t say no either! I’m crate-trained and love my cozy safe space, where I happily eat my meals and nap in. I do have some puppy energy, so when I get excited or into play mode, I might do some gentle nipping and play biting — just my way of having fun and showing my joy! I am very obedient and will let go immediately when you tell me to! I just can’t always help myself, when I’m overjoyed Sometimes when I’m left alone, boredom might get the best of me—so you’ll want to tuck away your socks and cables just in case! But honestly, I’m pretty independent and perfectly happy chilling in my crate or playpen with my favorite toy, patiently waiting for you to come back. I’m a great solo sitter and will do wonderfully staying home alone, as long as I’ve got my cozy spot and some toys to keep me company! I’m very social with humans and warm up very fast to new people and dogs. I adapt well to new environments and am eager to be part of a loving family who can give me the stability and affection I need to thrive. I’m a perfect mix of chill and spark — on rainy days, you’ll find me happily curled up as a devoted couch potato , but give me a chance to explore outdoors, potentially with a playful buddy by my side, and I’m all in for an adventure! Whether it’s a long walk or a romp on the beach, I’m ready to keep up and enjoy every moment. My energy level is just right for balancing fun and relaxation. Could you be the one to give me my forever home?

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!

Story
Meet Mallory! Mallory is the dog version of a sprite. She is always happy and excited about life! She will self pacify with her toys, she goes out on a skateboard run daily for 45 minutes (pulls the rider, foster's neighbor) and is very athletic. Mallory's play style is rough, so not all dogs appreciate her energy, but she does very well with like minded dogs. She is fine spending the day at home, excited to see you when you get home and just wants to sit on your lap (she does need to learn about personal space) and watch tv in the evenings. She is high energy when needed but is happy as long as she is with her person. Mallory is a Stanislaus Shelter Survivor. We made contact with her original owners and know a lot about her background. She was an adorable puppy. You can see the love in her eyes. Interested in meeting Mallory?

Story
Meet Ralphie! Ralphie is about 2 years old. He is a happy boy who is full of energy! Ralphie is already crate trained. He is also potty trained in his current home, but as with any dog, he will need gentle guidance on the learning the appropriate place to potty in his new home. Ralphie seems to enjoy the company of other dogs of all sizes. He loves playing with other dogs and toys in his foster home. Ralphie knows how to sit when asked and is very food motivated, which will help make his continued training so much easier! Ralphie will be best suited to a home with older children, and prefers a feline-free home. Interested in meeting Ralphie?
