Story
Angie is a 12 month old, 33-lb, tri-color female cattle dog mix who was brought into the shelter as a stray. She was rescued from the Modesto shelter, and shelter workers described her as sweet, calm, affectionate, gentle with treats, and medium-energetic. She knows sit and some other commands. She is great with other dogs (both alpha dogs and submissive). She coexists with cats, but will chase them when she has the zoomies (she won't hurt them). She has no resource guarding and loves to cuddle. She is potty and crate trained, and is currently in obedience classes. At the time of adoption, she will be up to date on vaccines and spayed.

Story
Meet Julie! This sweet girl made the long journey from Bhopal, India, arriving in the U.S. in early October to begin a new life. She was rescued from the streets of India by caring people who saw her potential & wanted to give her a chance at a better life. Now, at just 16 mos. old, she’s settling into her new surroundings and showing what a wonderful companion she can be. Julie is a little shy with new things, but she’s eager to learn & gaining confidence every day. In just two weeks, she has adjusted so well to home life. She has mastered leash walking, learned to use the dog door, and is house-trained. Julie enjoys people and other dogs, and she does wonderfully with children. Once comfortable, her playful side comes out. She would love a family who includes her in daily life and gives her time to settle in. She hasn’t been tested with cats yet, so careful introductions would be needed. Julie has seen a local veterinarian, is in excellent health. Could she be the one for you?

Pomeranian Chihuahua

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Gizmo is about one year old and we think he is a Spaniel and Chihuahua mix. He is looking for a dedicated adopter. Though small in size, Gizmo acts like a big dog and requires an owner committed to ongoing training, structure, and clear boundaries.Gizmo is happiest as an only dog and needs a pet-free home, he's not looking to live with a cat or small companion animal. He has a history of resource guarding his food, people, and laps from other dogs, meaning a management plan and consistent rules will be essential to help him succeed.Despite these behavioral needs, Gizmo is an eager learner who genuinely enjoys training. He builds strong bonds with his person through structured exercises and shared learning. With an owner willing to provide steady guidance and fair rules, Gizmo has the potential to mature into a well-mannered, loyal companion. Primary Color: Red Weight: 21.8 Age: 1yrs 4mths 0wks

Story
Sometimes more is more. Mia is a very big dog with an equally big heart and a gentle soul filled with enormous feelings. Shy, loving, loyal, wary, brave. All these describe Mia. She is indeed shy at first, loving when she's comfortable, loyal when she really knows who her people are, wary of other dogs and brave to overcome her fears and make adjustments.Mia is currently enjoying all the benefits of a wonderful foster home, where she is learning to trust. It seems that in a previous home Mia had less than ideal encounters with other dogs and those experiences made her cautious around her own species. Maybe you can relate. Because of this, Mia would prefer to be the only dog in the home (although a dog-savy cat may be okay). With very slow introductions, she may eventually come to become comfortable with a dog friend or two.If you're a big-dog fan (or even just a big dog-fan) and cuddly love is your currency you should get to know Mia. She's grand enough to hold all your love, loyalty and affection in one big beautiful dog.***ADOPTION FEE SPONSORED*** Primary Color: Sable Weight: 94.8 Age: 7yrs 8mths 2wks
