Story
Hello, Hunny is a special dog. She was a puppy when we got her and she was the runt of the litter. She is from Sacramento CA. She is about 6-7 years old (that’s how long we’ve had her). She lives with my parents due to me not having a place where she can stay. My parents are elderly and she needs a better home with someone who can give her all the attention and love she needs. She was always a dog that’s sensitive to other people and dogs but once she warms up to you she does great. She is on the reactive size as she gets older and needs more help than we can give her. She’s not fixed or vaccinated since she’s been an indoor/home trained dog. She will go potty outside. She loves walks and cuddles. I have a groomer who does really well with her reactive personality and will send that information over. She needs to be rehomed As Soon As Possible please. Just want someone who will know how to work with her reactive personality and she’s an only dog. She isn’t able to play with other dogs

Story
Ghost landed on in our home we were supposed for foster him for a week by the owners request because of their living situation. It has now been 3 months and the owner does not plan on coming back for him. I don’t know how old he is or if he’s had his shots. What I do know that he is not fixed. He’s good with other dogs as far as I know he gets along long with my two small dogs. He’s like to jump up, when he says hi. Friendly when I intact with him. He Wants love and attention that I cannot give him. Hoping to find he’s forever home for him.

Story
A Gentle Survivor Ready for Her Second Chance 🌷 A whole New Girl at 19 pounds 1 year old 💗 she's playing with Toys for the first time and going on Walks. Because of her past, she is initially timid and fearful, but she is a very sweet little girl who is making steady progress here in foster care and slowly learning that humans can be kind 🤗 This sweetheart has a calm, affectionate personality and loves being close. She loves following her person around with interest. Luna is beginning to relax and has recently started gaining confidence. This little is looking for a understanding family willing to give her the time she needs to fully trust and blossom into the loving companion she is becoming. She enjoys cuddles, belly rubs, and plenty of attention. She has a kind heart and is eager to bond with a family who will give her the love and care she deserves. She has a gentle nature and full of love. She will thrive in a secure fenced yard with another small doggy to help guide her.

Story
We have had Buddy about 1 month we adopted him from a neighbor. He is about 1 year old with very high energy and loves his toys and playing fetch. He would like a family with older children or young adults with the time and lots energy to give him. As we are seniors and already have a senior dog Buddy wasn’t a good fit for us. He was recently neutered and is up to date on vaccines.
