Story
Meet Butterball! 🐶💛 Butterball is a 3-year-old male Staffordshire Bull Terrier mix with a heart as big as his name suggests! 🐾✨ This sweet, people loving boy truly thrives on human companionship and would much rather be by your side than focused on other pets 🤍👨‍👩‍👧‍👦. Butterball does well with other dogs 🐕👍 and has a wonderfully easygoing nature 🌿. He allows full-body handling 🤗 and enjoys affection, making him a joy to spend time with 💕. He has a low drive 😌 and, when introduced to the cat room, showed little interest 🐱➡️😴 suggesting he may do well in a home with feline friends, with proper slow introductions. While Butterball is social, his greatest bond will always be with his people 🥰. He prefers calm interactions and would be happiest in a home where he can soak up love and attention 🛋️❤️. Due to some resource guarding and barrier sensitivities observed 🚧, we do not recommend Butterball for a home with small children 👶❌. However, older, respectful children who understand dog boundaries may be a great match 👦👧✔️. Butterball is looking for a loving home where he can relax, feel secure, and be someone’s loyal best friend 🏡💖. If you’re searching for a calm, affectionate companion who will choose you every time, Butterball might just be your perfect match! 🐾🌟 Intake date 11/24/25 came in as a stray that was tied up to a dumpster Located at Manteca Animal Services 115 E Wetmore St Manteca Ca 95336 209-456-8270

Story
Meet Sarge! 🐾💙 Sarge is a 5yr old male Pinscher/Rottweiler mix with a big personality and an even bigger heart ❤️🐶. This happy, energetic boy is always ready to make you smile, especially if you’ve got treats in hand 🍖😄! He also has a few favorite toys he absolutely loves and enjoys playtime just as much as snack time 🎾🦴. Sarge is looking for a home that understands his needs. He is not a good fit for homes with cats 🚫🐱 and has shown dog reactivity, though he does get along with the dog he came in with, Ginger 🐕🤝. Any introductions to other dogs should be slow and thoughtful. Because of his size and active nature, Sarge may do best in a home with older, respectful children 👧👦 who can enjoy his playful energy while giving him appropriate space and structure. Sarge came in as a stray with Ginger on 03/04/26 🏡➡️🐾, and he’s ready to start his next chapter with a loving family. With patience, consistency, and lots of love, Sarge will be a loyal and fun companion 💕🐕. If you’re looking for a happy, treat-loving pup to bring energy and joy into your life, Sarge might be your perfect match! 🐾✨

Story
🐾 Meet Rip! 🐾 Rip is an approximately 2yr old male Australian Cattle Dog looking for his perfect forever home ❤️ This handsome boy is full of life, personality, and fun! 🎾✨ Rip loves to play, bounce around, and enjoy every moment with his people. After he’s had a chance to burn some energy, he settles down nicely and enjoys relaxing too 🐶💤 ✅ Dog tested with both male and female dogs ✅ Appears to be very dog friendly 🐕🐕 ✅ Smart, active, and eager for adventure 🌲🚶‍♂️ Because of Rip’s active personality and natural herding/prey drive, we would not recommend a home with small cats at this time 🐈❌. With slow, proper introductions and continued training, this could possibly be reassessed in the future. Due to his breed instincts, older respectful children would be ideal 👧🧒✅. Rip would thrive in a home that understands the Australian Cattle Dog breed and can provide structure, activity, and love ❤️ If you’re looking for a loyal, playful, intelligent companion to share your adventures with, Rip may be your guy! 🐾✨

Story
Beretta is 4 and half years old. She is very smart and easily trainable. She is potty trained. Shes been around dogs and kids but prefers to be independent. I don't have cats so I'm not sure how she would do around cats. I would recommend older kids who understand a dogs space and someone who is looking for a sole companion with no cats or other dogs.

Story
With a heavy heart, I am looking to rehome my dog. She is a sweet, affectionate girl who absolutely loves her people. Despite her size, she is convinced she’s a lap dog and would happily spend her days curled up on the couch snuggling with you. She’s a total couch potato who enjoys relaxing, cuddling, and being close to her family.She has done well with small dogs and enjoys having human companionship. She is house trained and knows basic commands.Important: She should not be placed in a home with cats or other small animals due to her prey drive. I want to make sure she is set up for success in the right environment.She does have to take medicine for a hormone imbalance which cost $12/month. This is not a decision I have made lightly. She is loved very much, and I am committed to finding the best possible home for her. She is crate trained and her crate will go with her if requested

Story
Bane is a lovely dog. So happy and gentle. We took him on when his previous owner had to move and couldn’t take him. I would love to keep him but we already have two small dogs and two toddlers and don’t have the space for him to truly get the most out of life.
