Story

Approximately 2 years old Dob 9/21/21 Shepherd/ Malinois mix (The condensed version) She was surrendered to the shelter with 2 other dogs and was too fearful to be touched. In fact she was so fearful it was decided that the exam wouldn't be forced. A bit later that day, there were visible worms in her ?, vomit all over her kennel and she was lethargic. Very lethargic. She was so sick, parvo had to be assessed out. Treatment was started right away to support her concerning condition. She was sent to Sage for overnight care, and she went into surgery for what was suspected as Pyometra. It was discovered that she had multiple half term dead babies inside of her. She came out of surgery and started her recovery. By the next day, she could be seen interested in people and she ate food, neither task she did a few days before. These dogs were living Is in a really unhealthy situation. My understanding is the person was possibly homeless and living out of their car. Half of me has compassion for the owner who surrendered them. That person didn't dump them or relinquish them at the shelter at the first sign of trouble. That person tried to make it work living out of their car with their dogs. This is a sad story on many fronts. It's sad for the dogs and It's sad for the human: they both lost. Of course, I have feelings around having so many dogs when you can't take care of them, But that doesn't overshadow my compassion. People on facebook are very quick to be judgmental when they're Is not doing any of the work at all, And if My presidency has taught our followers anything, It said I won't put up with that. If you're not doing any of the work your opinion really doesn't matter if it's negative. Even though the shelter footed the bill for her surgery, but that doesn't mean that we haveent taken on a burden as we do with every animal. Her board & train costs money. And of course we reach out to you. Lets find her a forever home, where she has a comfy couch and space to move around. She needs someone who will deeply love her. She is friendly and sweet. She takes just minutes to bond and wants to bond. She is submissive and would do well in a home with another dog who is a bit outgoing so she can see that example and this will bring out the best in her. She could also be a great companion for a single person and can provide home protection when she bonds. Again I want to point out that this girl would have surly died if she didnt end up with the shelter medical team. Much like when Mercy arrived, the shelter was (and still is) overcrowded. They had EVERY reason to euthanize at that point, but they didnt. The willingness to survive is deep with this girl and she wasent going to give up: she was in a ? situation with parasites in and on her, dead babies inside her and so fearful she couldn't be handled properly due the the pain she was in. On the other hand, she was begging for help. The shelter medical staff didnt give up on her either. When I see people posting that the shelter medical team are just murderers and they like to kill dogs (yes, that's what all the haters call them, yet the haters wont foster or adopt any dogs to help the situation) it makes me sick. I shake my head and vocalize a few choice words about the cowards they are. Again it's important for me to introduce new animals, But it's equally important for me to expose the public to my knowledge. Especially when good, good people are being slanderized every day. The dog's stories are sad, But what the heaters are doing is even sadder, Because this is our team of rescuers that they're cutting with a 1000 papercuts everyday, and for what. I don't work at the shelter, BUT I have two great examples of the medical teams willingness to save animals in just the last 3 months. Animals they had multiple reasons to euthanize upon intake. Remember Mercy and now Adira.October 29, 2024, 12:21 am

Story

Bonnie was born around Valentine's Day of this year and is approximately 10 months old. She is a pitbull/ shepherd mix. Her parents weigh in at about 60 lbs each. Bonnie is a playful girl who is still a bit startled by loud noises. She will need a bit of time to gain trust and be the carefree, playful girl we know she's meant to be. The ideal home for Bonnie would be free from small children and cats. Bonnie was never abused or neglected, but when she left her original home, she realized that there was a big, loud, sometimes scary world out there that she had not experienced. She's had many firsts with us (car rides, trips to the vet, walking on a leash, and getting to know new canines/humans). Can you see this darling being part of your forever family?

German Shepherd Dog

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Some dogs come into your life quietly… and somehow become everything. Sienna was found as a stray in San Jose, and despite every effort, no one came looking for her. It’s hard to imagine, because this girl is something truly special. She is calm in a way that feels rare for a German Shepherd… grounded, observant, and deeply connected to her people. Her favorite place to be is simply by your side. Whether you’re moving through the house or settling in for the evening, Sienna is right there… your steady, loyal shadow. She lives for the simple things. Belly rubs. A good brushing session. Her cooling mat after a walk. She enjoys a game of fetch, but she’s not driven by toys or treats. What she really wants is connection. On walks, Sienna is attentive and thoughtful. She’ll walk right beside you, tuned in, and when given a little space, she enjoys exploring while still listening beautifully. She knows her basics, sit, stay, down, and is currently learning “leave it” with impressive focus. In the home, she is everything you hope for. Quiet. Calm. Respectful. She doesn’t chew, steal, or get into things. She sleeps through the night and moves through the house with an easy, peaceful presence. She rides in the car like a lady… happy to feel the breeze out the window, but just as content to settle in and relax. Sienna is incredibly friendly with people. She greets children, strangers, and other dogs with a gentle, open nature. On walks, squirrels and fast-moving cats are just a little too exciting… she doesn’t quite understand why they won’t be her friend. But in the home, with slow introductions, she has shown patience and softness around cats, even choosing calm curiosity over reaction. What stands out most about Sienna is her temperament. While other dogs may react, she pauses. While others get overwhelmed, she stays steady. She brings a quiet confidence wherever she goes. Her ideal home would include a yard to stretch out in, a family to be near, and someone who can give her daily walks and the companionship she clearly thrives on. She would do beautifully with children and other dogs, and with the right introductions, could live peacefully alongside calm cats. Sienna isn’t just a “good dog.”She’s the kind of dog that changes the feeling of a home. — Courtesy Post Disclaimer:Sienna is not a SNAP & Rescue dog. This is a courtesy posting on behalf of her finder, who is working to help her find the loving home she deserves. ##2700784##

Story

Huckleberry is the whole package. He is a 2-year-old German Shepherd with the soul of an old friend. Rescued from the Oakland Animal Shelter, he’s proven to be the most calm, gentle, and well-mannered companion you could ask for… a true gentleman in every sense. He even received an A+ report card from his first vet visit. He knows sit, down, and shake, walks beautifully on leash, and absolutely loves his ball. But what makes Huckleberry special isn’t just what he knows… it’s how he is. Quietly devoted, he’ll follow you from room to room, settle at your side, and rest his head on your shoulder like he’s been yours forever. Even his kisses are soft and thoughtful. He’s fully housebroken, crate-trained (and happily chooses it), and incredibly respectful in the home. He’s also the perfect copilot… calm, relaxed, and ready for any car ride adventure. Huckleberry would thrive as the center of someone’s world. He doesn’t need much… just a cozy spot next to his person and someone to love deeply. Likely best in a home without cats. If you’ve been searching for your ride-or-die, your steady presence, your heart dog… you’ve found him. ##2691574##

Story

Hi there, I’m Onyx I made quite the entrance into the world—I was the very first of my siblings to arrive! Foster mom says I must have been practicing my soccer skills in my mama’s tummy because wow, I could kick! I may not be the tiniest of the bunch, but I’m pretty close. What I lack in size, I make up for in sweetness. I’m the kind of girl who will quietly sit at your feet, gazing up at you with those irresistible puppy eyes, just waiting for my turn to be scooped up for snuggles. And let me tell you… I love little humans. There’s just something about them that makes my whole world light up. I’m not as chatty or bold as some of my siblings—I’m more of a gentle, observant soul. But as I grow, my personality is sure to blossom into something truly special. If you’re looking for a soft-hearted, loving companion who will be your quiet shadow and cuddle buddy, I just might be your girl. ##2671631##
