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?

Story
Meet Casper… no, he’s not the actual Friendly Ghost, but his personality is pretty darn close!  Casper is a gentle giant who is being fostered in a home with 3 adventurous kids, and we don’t think we’ve met a happier boy. His foster mom is convinced there has to be a battery pack hidden somewhere because that tail NEVER stops moving!  If Casper isn’t napping, barking at his own tail, or chasing a ball, you can bet he’s making sure he gets plenty of time with his favorite chew stick. Just like his sibling, this boy LOVES a good chew! He’s sweet, goofy, playful and just the kind of puppy who makes you smile without even trying.  Could Casper be the missing piece to your family? If you think this happy boy would fit right in, put your application in today! ##2853569##

Story
Charlie is a sweet, playful girl with a little mischief in her eyes and a whole lot of love for her people. She loves romping with other dogs, chasing balls, and joining in on just about any adventure. Fetch is still a work in progress. She has the “chase the ball” part mastered, but the “bring it back” portion remains optional. Charlie also loves splashing around in shallow water and is slowly working on becoming a swimmer. Rescued from a terrible situation in Stockton, Charlie is ready to leave her past behind and find the forever family she deserves. She would love a home where she can play, explore, go on adventures, and most of all, be someone’s loyal forever buddy. ##2806767##

Story
  Meet Millie!    Millie is a sweet, smart and playful little girl who has already come such a long way in a short amount of time. Millie came to us from an abandoned property where she was living with several other dogs but had little to no interaction with people during the first 12 weeks of her life. When she first arrived, she was understandably nervous around humans and would tend to shut down. Dogs, however, were a completely different story! She was comfortable with the dogs in our home from day one and absolutely loves having canine friends to romp around and play with. Over the past four weeks, Millie has made amazing progress. She is friendly, curious, active and very smart. She is still a little hand-shy at times and will need a family who understands that some things are still new to her and will give her the time and patience to continue building her confidence. Millie has done very well with potty training and already knows how to use a dog door. She is spayed, microchipped and has just one puppy booster vaccination remaining.   Because she gets so much confidence and enjoyment from other dogs, we would love to see Millie in a home with a friendly, playful dog who can continue to show her that the world—and the people in it—can be a pretty great place. Millie had a rough start, but she is blossoming into such a fun, happy little girl. She just needs the right family to help her continue on that journey.   ##2849868##

Story
Bruiser is one of the great ones. This boy is for the family looking for a turn-key dog who can be active when they want, and a couch potato when they don't.After winding up #1 on a list of 34 dogs to be euthanized at the Stanislaus Animal Shelter, Bruiser earned his ticket into SNAP by receiving a perfect evaluation. He is very affectionate, accepting pets all over, he walks easy on a leash, and he loves all dogs. He was even in doggie play group at the shelter!  In his foster home he has shined. He loves people and children, will be the first to initiate a soft kiss on your hands or cheek. He loves a romp with his foster sister but could easily be an only dog too. He is a confident, easy-going boy who could fit into a variety of homes. ##2853570##

Story
Jack is a neutered 2.5 year old cattle dog/ rottie mix and the size of a larger cattle dog. He has the softest mouth and loves to chase and carry his ball. He likes to jump in the water to get his ball and will swim in the pool. He LOVES affection and attention. In the morning he is one ball of wiggles, carrying around a ball or socks or anything soft he can find as he waits for his breakfast. He will chase and play with other dogs but likes his small walks too.   Jack is lower energy, good with cats, and dogs. house trained, crate trained, leash trained and the best fuzzy buddy a person could hope for.  We prefer that Jack is adopted with Jill as they are very bonded. ##2830904##
