Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Hi there! I’m a lively shepherd who absolutely loves going on long walks! There’s just so much to sniff and explore out there! I get super excited whenever I hear the leash jingling because I know treats and adventure are coming my way. Speaking of treats, I’m a total foodie and always happy to earn a snack or two for being a good pup. When I’m home, you’ll find me chewing on my favorite toys or chasing after them like I’m on a mission. Just one thing... I’m not really into making friends with other dogs. I prefer to keep my circle small and focus on the humans I trust. But if you’re up for a fun walk and some playtime, I’m your dog!

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Hi! I’m Coco and let me just tell you, I’m so happy to meet you! Seriously, are you ready to be best friends? Because I am. Like, right now. I’m a pitbull with a big ol’ heart and an even bigger wiggle when I see people. I love attention... the more, the better. You want to pet me? Yes, please. Talk to me in a silly voice? I’m all ears (and tail wags). Sit on the couch? Oh good, I was hoping you’d say that. I’ll just climb right into your lap, even if it’s already full. I’m kind of a pro at snuggles. Playtime? Oh yeah. Give me a toy and I’ll bounce around like I’m on springs. But after playtime? You know I’m curling up next to you for a nap. Bonus points if you let me rest my head on your chest.And let’s not forget treats. I love treats. Crunchy ones, chewy ones, peanut butter anything. Most of all, I just love being with my people. If you’re around, I’m happy. That’s really all I want. So yeah, I’m Coco. Lover of snuggles, playtime, snackies and your new best friend for life.

WILLOW

German Shepherd Dog

Female, 3 yrs 2 mos

Chula Vista, CA

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Hi there. I’m Willow. I’m a shepherd, and yeah, I’ve got a few spots where my fur’s a little thin. It’s okay, though; my people say I’m still handsome, and I think they’re right. I’m not the kind of dog who rushes up to everyone right away. I like to take my time.. sniff things out, watch, and make sure you’re safe and kind. Once I decide you’re a friend, though? Oh, you’ll have a shadow forever. I love leaning into people I trust, feeling their hands scratch behind my ears or rub my chest. That’s the best feeling in the world. Playtime is great too!! Tug toys, fetch, even a good roll in the grass. But I also love my naps. There’s something about curling up in a sunny spot or next to my person that makes me feel peaceful and happy.A nd snacks? Don’t even get me started on snacks. I’ll do just about anything for a crunchy treat or a piece of cheese. Life’s pretty simple when you think about it. A few good people, a soft place to rest, and something tasty to munch on. That’s all I need.

BOOMER

Labrador Retriever

Chula Vista, CA

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

I’m a very good boy... well, that’s what everyone tells me. I’m a big Lab with an even bigger love for treats. Seriously, if you even think about opening a bag of snacks, my tail starts wagging on its own. I can’t help it. I know sit, sit... oh, I definitely know sit. It’s my best move. You say the word, and boom, I’m on the ground, looking up at you with my best “treat please?” eyes. Works almost every time. I also love toys! Squeaky ones, chewy ones, ones you throw, ones I’m not supposed to chew but absolutely do anyway. And playtime? That’s the best. Fetch, tug, zoomies around the house…I’m ready for all of it. But after all that, my favorite thing is cuddles. I’ll lean all my big Labrador weight right into you and sigh like you’re the softest pillow in the world. Because even though I’m huge, I’m also a total mush. Life’s pretty great when you’ve got snacks, toys, and someone to love on and I would really love to have those 3 things in my life.

MATCHA

German Shepherd Dog

Female, 9 yrs 2 mos

Chula Vista, CA

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Hi there! I’m Matcha! An older shepherd mix, but don’t let my age fool you... I still have plenty of spark in me. My favorite thing in the whole world? Tennis balls! I carry them around proudly like they’re my greatest treasures (because honestly, they are). You’ll often see me trotting around with one in my mouth, tail wagging, showing off my prized possession. But I don`t really want to share, so I`ll just take my tennis balls and lay down, do my own thing. I’ve learned a lot over the years; how to be patient, gentle, and grateful for the little things. I love treats and I’ll give you my best “good dog” eyes every time you open the treat bag. I may be a bit slower now, but I still enjoy a nice game of fetch, a cozy nap afterward, and quiet moments with my favorite humans. I’m loyal, calm, and full of love to give. All I need is a comfy spot to rest, a few tennis balls to call my own, and a person who’ll see the wonderful old soul that I am If you’re looking for a companion who’ll always be by your side I might just be the one for you.

Story

Hey there! Thanks for checking me out. I came in with my siblings but I`m ready to get out of here. I do enjoy to do my own thing and prefers to just hang out. I`m not a super clingy type of guy so there`s a plus! I`m getting old and just need my own couch to rest on.. someone give me a chance!
