Alfie is a super friendly, active golden retriever. He is 2 years old and loves to run and play. We got him as a puppy from a breeder. He is pure bred Golden Retriever. Because of our busy schedule we are not able to take care of him and are looking for a loving and caring home in which he can thrive. He is an inside dog.

Story
Tiramisu is a dog who has become an integral part of my life. She is a lively and friendly companion, bringing joy and warmth to our household. Tiramisu is currently two years old and finds great delight in spending time in the living room, where she has ample space to run, play, and explore. She has been trained and is familiar with being sprayed for hygiene purposes. In search of a new home, Tramisu would greatly benefit from a larger living space, preferably with a yard where she can freely frolic and engage in outdoor activities. Tramisu has a sociable nature, thoroughly enjoying playtime and interactions with people. She possesses an abundance of energy, exudes affection, and eagerly embraces meeting new individuals.

Story
Mister Biggs is the most loyal, loving, and snuggly boy ever. He is great for someone who jogs. I will miss him so much. He was a foster returned by 2 people because he was a lot of energy and too little training. So I did the leash training, treat training, and working with the big Mister to make sure he was housebroken and less reactive. He is an absolute love, with bone and ball affinity, crate and housetrained. He LOVES people. He is good with most other animals AS LONG AS he is introduced in a controlled and methodical manner. He must be pack-walked before able to openly interact with other dogs above 15 lbs. He must be lovingly introduced to cats but easily understands they are his housemates and siblings. Biggs also has digestive and skin sensitivities. He takes 8-16mg of prescription Apoquel daily as needed, and I add Zyrtec 10mg when he is more itchy. He eats ONLY prescription kibble and treats, Science diet Derm Complete. I learned this the hard way. Call/msg for more info.

Story
Zeus is very smart and playful, he loves toys and learns routines quickly. Zeus loves to play chase and tug anytime. He is learning his manners well, but he still barks and gets excited easily so he may do best somewhere he has a little space to play on his own. He is very friendly with other people, he wants to play and will go get his toys and attempt to engage you in tug of war. He likes to chase balls but is still learning “drop”. If you have a couple toys to alternate with, he will fetch. He loves belly rubs. Zeus loves his treats but is pretty mellow about mealtimes. He will take food from your hand gently. We give him food 3 times a day and he often eats it slowly throughout the day, he doesn’t gobble food or overeat. When we need to give him pills he will eat a spoon of peanut butter with meds with no problem. Zeus crates well; he will go in there easily if you point inside and often takes naps in there on his own. His foster parents are home a lot so he is a little spoiled with attention, but he is used to being in his crate alone for a few hours at a time. He is both affectionate and sometimes self-sufficient. He likes to be with you or cuddle, and he also seems comfortable napping in the ‘other’ room. We have not tested Zeus with cats but he has a strong chase/hunt instinct and always goes after birds or squirrels. Zeus is sweet but he does get excited and can jump or be a rough player. He is learning not to jump up so much, but he does seem to like standing up on his hind legs. He is also pretty vocal when he is playing

Bingo

Boxer

Davis, CA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Good with dogs, Needs special attention, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
At two and a half months old, Bingo was found alone in a field and scared. It was discovered shortly after that that he had two congenital heart defects. Right now, one compensates for the other. We do not know what this means for Bingo long-term, but he has no idea he is sick and lives life to the fullest. Bingo is a playful young dog that is approximately one year old. Bingo enjoys his dog and human friends. He has no exercise limitations, so we allow Bingo to self-regulate. Although he would not make a good hiking or running companion, he loves running and playing with friends. He has never met a toy that he doesn’t love. He can self-entertain with a ball for a long time. Bingo is crate-trained but can also be left in the house freely without concern for destruction. He loves snuggling on the couch and sleeping on the human’s bed. Bingo has been raised in a home with several dogs and would prefer to live with another doggy resident. Bingo enjoys outings to the park, lake, and patio restaurants. He is a great companion and snuggly buddy!
