Story
🐾 Meet Vex! 🐾 Vex is a 2-year-old male German Shepherd with a big personality and lots of charm. He’s a fun-loving guy who’s ready to find a home that understands and appreciates him 💙 📍 About Vex: • 🎉 Fun, goofy guy with an engaging personality LOVES PUP CUPS • 🐕 Gets along well with most female and neutered male dogs • 🚫 Does not do well with intact male dogs • 🐈 Showed little interest when walked into a cat room, though slow, proper introductions are always recommended • 👶 Not a good fit for homes with small children at this time • 🧒 Older, respectful children who understand dog boundaries would be best • 🚗 Needed a little help getting into the car, but once inside he’s an absolute dream • 🦶 Fun fact: Vex has only 3 toes on one front paw, which may cause an occasional hitch in his step—but it doesn’t slow his spirit! Vex is looking for a home that will embrace his quirks, keep things positive, and give him the structure and love he deserves. If you’re ready for a loyal, fun companion, Vex might be your perfect match 🐾💙 Interested in meeting Vex? He’s excited to meet you!

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
Looking for a guard dog?? Milo is for you!! Milo is a 70 lb. 2-year-old Great Pyrenees Mix. He is VERY intelligent and trainable with formal obedience training. (Fuss, Platz, Here, Rug, Heel & more.) He is GREAT at walking on leash and wonderful at obeying his commands. House & crate trained as well. Milo loves to be outside and go on daily walks. He is very food motivated (He LOVES treats. =), good with car rides, low energy, nondestructive, & a GREAT guard dog!!! Takes time to warm up to new people and pets. His guardian breed tendencies are strong. Milo needs a new home that is better suited to his natural instincts & demeanor. (Not a good fit for a busy household with lots of kids or visitors like ours.) He would thrive in a home that is quiet with a consistent routine. Milo is very loyal & a wonderful guard dog! 🏡 He would be a GREAT guard dog for a family who has property or a farm.

Story
!needs to be adopted soon! we unfortunately have to move unexpectant and the place we're moving to won't allow him:( we are looking for a loving home that can hopefully take him in. He was born December 1st, in potty training, learning how to sit lay down and to not jump on people. Also, how to be patient for his food and treats. He is also dewormed and has his first shot, and he is also declawed on his rear paws. He is also good with cats, and he does really well during bathtime (he does this cute thing after bath time where he cuddles up in the towel and its super adorable).

Story
Meet Zuri 🌸🐕 Zuri is a 2-year-old female Belgian Malinois with a gentle heart and a resilient spirit 💛. She was dumped in an orchard, found emaciated, and appeared to have recently weaned puppies 😔💔. Despite the hardship she’s endured, Zuri remains an incredibly sweet and loving girl who’s ready for a brighter future. Zuri does great with other dogs 🐕🐕 no cats for Zuri 🚫😺, making her a wonderful candidate for a multi-pet home. She would also do well with kids 👧🧒, thanks to her friendly and easygoing nature. She could benefit from some basic leash training 🎓🦴, but she’s eager to please and will thrive with consistency, kindness, and positive reinforcement 🌱. Zuri also rides well in the car 🚗✨, making her a great companion for trips and adventures. Zuri is the kind of dog who’s just happy to be safe, loved, and part of a family 🏡❤️. She has so much affection to give and will make a loyal, devoted companion for the lucky person who gives her a forever home 🐶💕 If you’re looking for a sweet, well-rounded dog who’s overcome so much and still loves wholeheartedly, Zuri is ready to meet you 🐾💖
