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
Nacho is the perfect dog for someone in their mid 20s who is single and has a lot of time for him. Or a family, with kids! He’s such a great cuddler, but he also loves to be outdoors adventuring with you. He can sit on a paddle board, is off leash trained, potty trained, and doesn’t have a mean bone in his body! Such a sweet boy. I just don’t have the time or resources to care for him now that I just got a divorce. Looking for a home asap.

Story
This nice pup was wandering around the street so we have been fostering her for the past month or so. Well behaved but rambunctious as adolescents will be you know. Knows how to sit and stay and does okay on the leash for a walk. Looks like she's going to get bigger so would be a good protector. MUST find this dog at home or it's going to need to go to the shelter within the next couple of months.
