Story
Gunner is a 6 year old 135lb German shepherd. For the most part he is just a big teddy bear, but does not get along well with other animals and sometimes lashes out on our other dog. He does also already have a bad back and hips for being so young, we love him but don’t have the time to give him the attention he needs. Would only want to give him to somebody with plenty of outside room and no other pets. Thank you!

Story
Miss Daisey is Amazing! She will be 4 in August. She has been with us for six months. We live in a trailer park, in a 27 foot travel trailer. She belonged to a guy in the park and escaped her area every day to run to our place and play with the little dog my boyfriend has. We were afraid she was going to get out on the main road, so we offered to take care of her until we can find her a home. We had her spayed and got her shots updated. In December, my live-in job ended, so my two dogs and I had to come home. Now we have two large dogs, two small dogs, and two adults in this trailer. She came from King City, where she lived on a ranch with her last person, until they moved into the park. She deserves playmates her age and size, with lots of room to run.

Story
I have the Mama and Papa and they mistakenly had lots of minis. I am looking for good homes for the puppies as they just had their first birthday. I have had 3 Generations of the same family. He has been raised with lots of love, not by breeders. Echo is really sweet and very playful for small periods of time. Will follow you around and want to lay next to you. He is extremely non-confrontational and will hide if he gets scared. Good with kids and all other animals. Loves light walks and car rides.

Story
Australian Shepherd mix, femaleWelcome Molly!  Her beauty is unmatched and her spirit even lovelier. She doesn’t know a stranger and touch is her love language.  Her fosters  have taken some time to get to know her and here is what they have to report: Molly is 100% sweetheart. She loves her people to the Nth degree. Scratch that, she loves ALL people to the Nth degree. Arguably maybe too much sometimes. If you get down on the ground, you will have a dog right up in your face, and if you're not careful you're tripping on her. She's moderately treat motivated, but 100% affection motivated when it comes to training. She responds really well to gentle correction. Her paperwork says she's 1 Y, 40lbs but she acts like a big puppy. She's a little ornery, and very bouncy and goofy. She must have at least 10 lbs of 1980's crimped fur in that curled up tail alone. She’s working on leash and house manners and picking things up quickly. She’s bunked up with a few cats and the verdict is still out there as to whether or not we can say she’s bombproof with them. Doesn’t chase the indoor cat but outdoors it’s game on and by that we think she’s just trying to play. She curious and cautious around livestock and managed to be quite helpful to her foster dad in rounding up a stray cow. Molly is located in Templeton, CA. She is microchipped, spayed, and UTD on vaccines. She appears to be an Australian shepherd mix.
