Story
Nipple was found abandoned in a Fresno alley (no microchip) and needs a forever home. She is up to date on vaccines and heartworm/flea/tick medication and got clean results on both blood and fecal tests. She is not yet fixed and also has some pendulous growths (one distended nipple and one on her foot). The vet who examined her said they both look benign but it would be good to remove them whenever she gets spayed because they may not stay benign, and that they are easy to remove. The vet thinks she's about 2 years old. She knows "sit" but needs work on walking nicely on leash because she tends to pull and is a strong little thing. She is very social with people (adults and kids), comfortable being handled, and will quickly crawl into a new person's lap and give them kisses. She is an adorable girl - playful, affectionate, and loves treats!

Story
Loopy is a silly, full time lover girl. She is a fun size German Shepherd, about 2 feet tall in stature so she’s the perfect dog for anyone who enjoys being active, especially in the outdoors but she is still manageable as a city pup. She’s super friendly & loves kids, dogs, & cats but holds a non menacing protective aura. She can forget her size at times, so she’d do better around other medium sized dogs. At the time, she is being potty & crate trained & she is on her way to graduation! She is also great on car rides & on leash & has shown decent recall off leash. Loopy is also getting some training for jumping because she LOVES to give hugs to taller adults. Her energy can be high in spurts but nothing a nice walk or some fetch can’t help. She sleeps through the night in her own area & loves to cuddle when lounging. Fruit Loops is quite perfect!

Story
We got Olive at 3 months old back in September of ‘24. We have 2 other mixed GSD females. They all got along great for the first year+, but then one day Olive and our oldest female (she’s 6 years old) got into it and had to be separated. We haven’t been able to mend the relationship between them and have had to keep her separate from our older 2 for months. We are looking to find a new home that will be able to love this sweet girl the way she deserves. She is a very sweet girl to our 13 month old daughter and is great with kids. It pains my wife and I to have to attempt to rehome Olive but this is what’s best and refuse to take her to a shelter.
