Story
It took Jodie four and a half months before she would go out to the yard with her fosters dogs. Itll take a while before Jodie gets used to your family and friends. When she is scared, she will bark and back away. She will warm up slowly, but surely.Jodie needs a patient, supportive person and maybe a dog mentor to help her blossom. Experience with shy, fearful dogs & using positive reinforcement is a plus! She is not destructive when left alone for a few hours. She will bark loudly if she hears someone near my front door.She is a clever dog, is food motivated, and learning some commands. When she accomplishes something, Jodie is pleased with herself and asks for extra pets and tummy rubs. She is athletic and can easily jump over a 3ft. fence.April 2022 Update: Jodie responds to kindness, patience, repetition & learns at her own pace. She is now clean & dry in her crated car rides! Ive been working on her leash reactivity to dogs. She is walked on a no-pull harness & rewarded with praise & treats when she remains quiet & calm. This can be challenging on the city streets, but we usually do 2 training walks a day. Housetraining is still in progress. Jodie prefers to use pee pads, but is getting more relaxed & toileting more often in my yard & on her walks. Jodie has come a long way since I started fostering her. Grooming, handling, training & a predictable daily routine were all new to her. She loves to cuddle with the resident dogs, napping in front of a sunny window, nudging me for petting & tummy rubs & quietly watching Animal Planet! Shell continue to blossom with the right adopter(s). Please visit our website www.wonderdogrescue.org to apply and learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs.

Story
He is still timid from his shelter experience and head shy. He approaches people anyway, head down, tail wagging, and wants to connect. He will continue to get more confident as the shelter experience wears off. He gets along with other dogs and will make a great little companion.

Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium)

Penngrove, CA

Story
Stinson is a special fella. He has abandonment issues, due to literally being abandoned for four months in an empty house when his family left the country. Aside from his foster, he is suspicious of people, but also afraid of being alone. He barks at strangers and takes quite a while to warm up. He is fairly neutral around other dogs he tolerates them, but likes his own space. Stinson needs a patient, knowledgeable, loving adopter who will let him settle in at his own pace. He can be around other dogs if they mostly leave him alone. Right now he is an indoor, pee-pad dog, but with easy access to the outdoors, could be housetrained.

Kash

German Shepherd Dog

Male, Adult
Rohnert Park, CA
Size
(when grown) X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more
Details
Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Kash's first name is not Johnny, but he's hoping you will walk the line down to meet him! Kash is estimated to be a 1 to 2-year-old German Shepherd mix. This big boy is a high-energy pup looking for a family to meet his active needs. Kash is friendly with other dogs, but we are unsure about felines. He would do best in a home with adults or older children, as he can be unaware of his size. Will you be the June to our Kash?October 1, 2023, 12:35 pm
