Story
Hazel is a 5.5 year old husky/chihuahua mix, 38 lbs, spayed, microchipped, fully vaccinated as of 5/8/2026. We've had her since she was 8 weeks old. Wisdom Panel: 32% Husky, 25% Chihuahua, 9% Shepherd, 6% Poodle, 4% Malamute. She's loyal and loving with her people, gets really excited for walks, and chills the rest of the time. Reserved with new people and skittish at first, but never aggressive.We're rehoming her because we have a toddler and Hazel has always been wary of small kids. On 5/8/2026 she nipped our 16 month old daughter once. We've got another baby on the way which is why we're looking to rehome her. She also resource guards food around other dogs. No history of aggression toward adults.Looking for an adult-only home (or kids 12+), no other dogs in her food space, with an owner who understands resource guarding. Full vet records and a written bite-history disclosure provided.

Story
Meet Apollo, a truly exceptional dog looking for his forever home.We adopted Apollo as a puppy from Woods Humane Society in April 2025, and from day one he has been an incredible companion. He has a calm, loving temperament and quickly became part of every family adventure: camping trips, beach walks, road trips, restaurants, and puppy training classes with our 9-year-old son.Apollo is crate trained, leash trained, fully potty trained, and knows several commands. He loves to cuddle, relax on the couch, and be near his people, but he also enjoys walks and hikes. He is affectionate, goofy, and has a way of winning over everyone he meets.Sadly, our older dog became aggressive toward Apollo, and they can no longer safely live together, despite our best efforts. This heartbreaking decision is not a reflection of Apollo, he truly is a wonderful dog. We believe he would thrive as the only dog in a loving home where he can be his happy, affectionate self.

Story
Moose is a 5 1/2 year old rescue Doberman/Bully mix that we’ve had since he was 14 weeks old, but my wife and I recently had twins and are unable to dedicate enough time to giving him the wonderful life he deserves. He’s a very sweet boy who is instantly best friends with every person he meets, however he does have a history of dog reactivity and currently takes medication for anxiety. He’s able to interact and play with big dogs in a controlled environment with proper introduction, but may not do well with small dogs. He does well with older children (10+) and loves to play in the yard, however walks can be over-stimulating for him and can trigger his fear of other dogs. He is potty trained, trick trained, and takes to training well. We’re looking for experienced dog owners with some understanding of reactivity to give him a forever home.

Story
Cici and Coco are 18-month-old St. Berdoodle sisters (50% St. Bernard and 50% Standard Poodle) from a breeder in Three Rivers, CA. They are sweet, smart, energetic, and very loving dogs. They are great with kids, friendly with other dogs, and currently live peacefully with cats. They love attention, walks, playtime, and being around people. This has been an extremely hard decision for us, but due to a separation, both households are moving into places that strictly do not allow pets. We have tried very hard to find housing that would allow large dogs, especially two together, but unfortunately had no luck. We are looking for a loving and active family that can give them the time, space, and care they deserve. Ideally we would love for them to stay together since they are very bonded. They are 18 months old and not yet spayed. Our priority is finding them a safe and loving forever home.
