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
Maggie is a very calm, sweet dog. I took her from a previous owner that had her for 11 yrs. She was given up as far as I know bec she was getting in her way if doing things. Maggie as I found out has abandonment issues. She has anxiety and always needs a companion. She’s scared of thunder and loud noise. She’ll be content just laying right beside or on your lap. I have a hard time leaving her for work. She panicks when nobody’s around esp the person that she’s used to. No other behavior problems, just really needs someone with her to make her feel secure. She’s a really good dog but I really hate doing this to her everytime I work. Her previous owner who had her for 11 yrs is retired, so they must’ve been together all the time. I hope to find someone who could really be a good fit for Maggie . She’s good with car and even plane ride.

Story
Hi. Rosie is looking for a new home! She needs a family that can give her lots of training and attention, as she is only 7 months old and still has lots of energy. Due to very long work hours and a recent divorce, she no longer gets the attention she deserves. Unfortunately, there is also a landlord issue at our new home. She is a total lover who eats up all the snuggles and attention. She is also an amazing breed and will make a GREAT companion once she finds a place to give her all the love and attention she deserves! Thank you so much for your consideration.
