Story
George is an 8-year-old, 12-pound chi/dachshund mix with a sweet personality and a very smart little mind. He figured out the doggie door in just two days and now happily lets himself out to soak up the sunshine whenever the mood strikes. George loves being outside and gets very excited when it’s time for a walk - he’s still working on not wrapping his leash around his human’s legs, but he’s trying! George is friendly and his tail is almost always wagging. He enjoys meeting new people, especially once he’s had a chance to sniff you first and make sure you meet his standards. He loves other dogs and fits right in with his foster brother and sister, so he would likely enjoy a home with another canine companion. George has been noted to have some arthritic back issues, but so far his foster mom hasn’t seen any limitations other than stairs. He runs, plays with his foster brother, walks comfortably, and was even caught jumping off the couch when his foster mom came home. A one-story house with minimal stairs is highly recommended for George due to his back issues. Presently, George is being fostered in a one story home with minimal stairs and he does very well. His back isn't slowing him down. Going up and down stairs in a multi-level home, continually, will aggravate his sensitive back and it could present a bigger issue as time goes on. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will love you unconditionally, George might just be your perfect man.

Story
Our baby TOG girl is patiently waiting for her forever and ever home. She’s blossoming every day - recently earning her Certificate of Completion in Beginning Dog Training and even tackling a 9-mile hike with her foster mom like a champ! We think that she would thrive as an agility dog, she is such a smartie! Annie is looking for a calm, adult home where she can keep learning and building on her good manners. She sleeps soundly through the night and greets every morning with happy tail wags and excitement for breakfast. She’s learning the joys of daily walks and gets along well with the other dogs in her home. She is about 4 years old and she weighs 21 lbs. Cheerful and eager to please, Annie is ready for her happily ever after.

Terrier (Unknown Type, Small)

Livermore, CA

Details

Story
Moka and Tommy are part of a group of 26 dogs who were confiscated from a single home by Antioch Animal Services. They are now learning what a safe, loving life looks like - together. When 7-year-old Moka’s foster family offered to help, they specifically asked for the most shut-down dog from the group, and that was 9 lb Moka. The good news is that she is slowly beginning to blossom. With patience and kindness from her foster parents, and support from brother Tommy, she’s settling in and starting to discover the comforts of home and the kindness of people. 1-year-old, 9 lb Tommy was rescued by the same foster family shortly after Moka. Despite everything he’s been through, he is an incredibly sweet boy who has adjusted beautifully in their foster home. He’s happy, affectionate, and brings a gentle confidence wherever he goes. The two immediately recognized each other. Since then they have formed a very special bond. They play like crazy together, she grooms him, and Tommy has helped Moka come out of her shell in the most wonderful ways. She now follows him outside into the yard, something she was previously too timid to do. Tommy clearly helps Moka feel safe, and Moka finds comfort in his presence. Because of this beautiful connection, they are being adopted out as a bonded pair so they can continue their journey together. They will do best in a patient, loving home that understands that the best things in life sometimes just take a little time.

Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Chewy, named for his resemblance to the adorable Ewoks from Star Wars, is a sweet, loving neutered male with a gentle soul. Weighing approximately 20 pounds and standing about 16 inches tall at the shoulder, he has a beautiful multicolored coat that does not shed. Chewy is affectionate with everyone he meets and has shown a special fondness for children. He loves other dogs, is friendly with cats, and has an exceptionally gentle nature. He takes treats enthusiastically but delicately, is a good eater, and keeps his food and water area neat and tidy. An easy companion in every way, Chewy is fully house-trained, walks nicely on a leash without pulling, and stays attentive to his person. The vet estimates he is about 8 years old, which is the perfect age: he is still eager for adventures, yet equally content to relax quietly at home. Chewy rides well in the car, is not prone to barking, and has shown no signs of separation anxiety. He would make a wonderful companion for someone looking for a calm, affectionate, well-mannered best friend to share life's adventures and quiet moments alike.

Story
Leela is an energetic sweetheart collie pit mix who enjoys playing and mental stimulation. She is approximately 9 months old. She is just getting used to home life and is still working on potty training. She understands the concept, but forgets on occasion. She needs help learning to not use her mouth when she gets overly excited, but she loves laps. She sleeps in our room through the night in her crate. She's energetic; she needs lots of exercise and stimulation. She is very food motivated and is eager to learn. She loves training and playing with people. She would do best with someone with dog experience; I would say no kids until you can train the mouthiness out of her. She knows the basics like sit and potty and use learning other behaviors. She has some separation anxiety but it has gotten way better even in just the last week. She needs leash training. She's comfortable with her crate.
