Story
Thor is two years old and weighs 11 pounds. When we rescued Thor out of a shelter, he had a horrible case of Demodex mange, as you can see from one of his pictures. It has taken a while, but most of his missing hair is back! His skin was very damaged and some of his hair may not go back. But there is some fuzz on his bare skin so it looks like some hair is still trying to grow back. Now that he is feeling better, we see the real Thor. This little guy is loving to everyone both adults and children. He is OK with dogs but can be selective when it comes to his dog friends. He also has a playful, energetic personality so be prepared to spend time playing with him!

Story
Freddy weighs 11 pounds and is 4 years old. He is a happy, energetic little dog. Freddy can sometimes be a little nervous when he meets new people, but he warms up quickly once he knows them. He can sometimes be protective of his food and that is why we are recommending no children. His new family will need to be patient with him, but he will be worth it!

Story
Julian is about 3 years old and weighs 45 pounds. Julian is very sweet and craves attention. He is also a very active dog and will require a home with an active family that will make sure he gets a lot of exercise and play time. He has gotten along with the dogs he has met but wanted to chase a cat when he saw it, so probably no cats for this boy!

Lucky

Dalmatian

Male, 1 yr , Special Needs
Turlock, CA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Lucky is six months old and weighs 35 pounds. He is deaf and so will require a home that is experienced with deaf dogs or is willing to take time to train him and themselves. He is a beautiful boy with one blue eye and one brown eye. He is housebroken and walks well on a leash. Lucky is good with other dogs but we don’t know if he has been around cats. He likes children but would be best with older children since he is deaf.
