Story
Meet Emily Emily and her siblings were abandoned and taken to a shelter in Fresno at just 6 weeks old. Once we spotted them, we knew we needed to bring them into rescue She has an estimated birthday of 10/11/2025. She is a sweet girl with a beautiful brown smooth coat. This mixed breed girl will likely be medium sized and top out around 25-35 pounds. She loves toys and treats and looks forward to every meal. She plays with the dogs in her foster home and would do well with another dog that likes to play or as an only dog that gos to doggy day care. Emily loves people and is a cuddler and would enjoy having someone around most of the time. Here is what her foster has to say: Emily loves people and wants to be with her family. She has fun with her littermates and seeks adventure. She likes to be outside to play - and will explore every inch of the yard - she is curious so secure fencing is a must. She has been exposed to cats in her foster home and is curious so a slow introduction would be best. She does great in the car (she rides in a wire crate for safety), and will ride around with you in a sling so she can stay close. Emily has a smooth coat so a brush every now and then will keep her in top shape. She is still unsure of baths, but good with getting her nails clipped. Emily sleeps quietly in her pen at night, has started to potty train to a pad and is doing great! She’s not 100% there yet but with a little time and dedication she will be running to the door in no time. Emily longs for a family of her home and would love to help prepare for the upcoming holidays - Can she join in your family traditions?

Story
After my mom’s passing, her dogs Jill and Riker are looking for a caring home. They are very bonded and will need to be adopted together. We hope to find them a safe, loving home by the end of February. Riker is a sweet 10-year-old chiweenie who is deeply bonded with Jill, and they will need a home together. He can be a little cautious at first, but once he learns to trust you, his loving personality shines. Riker absolutely adores belly rubs and neck massages, and he’ll happily soak up any attention you give him. He’s a good eater, enjoys playing, and loves being close to his person. Riker does need a dental cleaning and a few teeth removed, and I will cover the cost of the procedure.

Story
Kiki was adopted from the SPCA Sacramento and is a loving, very friendly dog. She enjoys going to the park, loves car rides, and does very well with kids. She is fully house-trained and goes outside for her business. Kiki is well trained and communicates her needs clearly—she knows how to ask for food, treats, and when she needs to go outside. She plays only with her own toys and will not touch other household items once told not to. She may be a little particular about her toys at first, but once she feels comfortable, she enjoys sharing and interactive play. She is being rehomed only due to my international relocation from the USA to India. This is a very difficult decision, and my priority is to find her a safe, stable, and loving home where she will be treated as a true family member. There is no rehoming fee. I am happy to provide her supplies, food, and veterinary records to help make the transition easier.

Story
After my mom’s passing, her dogs Jill and Riker are looking for a caring home. They are very bonded and will need to be adopted together. We hope to find them a safe, loving home by the end of February. Jill is a sweet 14-year-old chihuahua who needs a loving home. My mom recently passed away, and I’m unable to keep her dogs. She is closely bonded with Riker, and they truly comfort each other. Jill is still active, though she can move a bit slowly at times. She can be a little head-shy and tends to bark at first, but she settles down quickly. She also loves playing with Riker.

Story
Due to unfortunate circumstances we have to rehome our sweet boy kai. He was adopted from the petco shelter. He has bad allergies so thats why you see a donut on his neck to prevent licking.He isnt handicapped or disabled just that he has allergies. We spray him morning and night on his belly and leave a cone on him when hes alone.he is so sweet but takes a awhile to warm up to a new person. He has bitten people before but only because they walked straight up to him.he gets along with our pomeranian. But we haven't tried introduction to other dogs.once he feels comfortable he is so loyal to the people around him. We have a mobile groomer that he trusts and likes. He will bite any regular groomer because of to much stimulation. If we thought he would be a true problem we wouldnt rehome him. He is so sweet and I hope he is loved unconditionally
