Story
-I was a stray in Fresno and adopted at ~1yr old. I am now ~2 years old -They call me smart, goofy, affectionate, curious, high energy (working-dog breed) & speckled like a giraffe! -I love to lounge in the sun & can be a big cuddle bug in the evenings -I LOVE playing with other dogs -I am good with kids but can be jumpy and a bit mouthy. This will pass with age -I have a high prey drive (cats, squirrels, birds) -My favorite place is a 17acre off leash dog area where I am content, confident, and playful -I must confess though, I am pretty sensitive to city life triggers such as electric scooters, motorcycles, skateboards, rollerblades. I have been reactive with motorcycle helmets, luggage being pulled, folks using canes/walkers, skateboard sounds and people catching me off guard Ideal home: someone who is experienced with high energy, sensitive, and situationally reactive dogs, has a large open space with a dog or two, no young children, in a rural and pretty quiet environment

Story
Hello my name is Daisy, I am a gorgeous American Staffordshire Terrier and I am more than ready to find my forever home.  Daisy has been overlooked! She has been citing at the humane society shelter for over a 1 year now, poor girl.  Although she is on the smaller side, she has not gotten much attention, less than a handful of 'meet and greets'. Outside her kennel she is sweet and eager to please! However she might need some time to warm up to people.  Other Dogs: The shelter is very small and due to financial and staff limitations, formal dog testing and play groups are not conducted and therefore information is limited. However, the shelter staff tried Daisy, in an enclosed yard on a leash with another leashed dog that was about her size and they played well.  On walks, she shows interest and ignores other dogs that are nearby - that's a good sign! There are no medical concerns for Daisy other than she can have skin issues if she is in the sun too much, like any white dog. From one of the volunteers - "Daisy can take time to warm up to people, but once she does she's a big time lover. She enjoys cuddling and leaving you completely covered in white fur." And another volunteer said - "With me she has always been silly and affectionate. She loves to be the center of attention, loves to sit on your lap/give kisses, and loves to roll around in the grass." I am currently living at  San Gabriel Valley Humane Society, in San Gabriel, CA (Los Angeles County).  The shelter's phone number is 626-286-1159 - contact them to meet me, pretty please!

Story
Nellie is a sweet and active 3 yo terrier who LOVES her toys! This playful girl loves to play chase and spend time with her foster Mom, and especially loves to play with the other dogs and cats in the home. Nellie takes some time to warm up to new people, but will eventually become extremely bonded to her new family. Because Nellie is so shy with new people, introductions will be done at the foster home and applicants should be prepared to spend some time with her during the introduction to allow her to warm up and show her true sweet personality. Nellie is UTD on vaccinations, spayed and microchipped. If interested in meeting Nellie, please complete an application at jellysplace.org.

Story
Edgar is an energetic and playful dog who has never met someone he didn’t like. He likes to bark through fences and is still learning to walk gently on leashes, but he has gotten along well with all of the dogs we have introduced him to. He would probably do well in a home with other excitable, similarly-sized dogs with whom he can play. Edgar is also very people friendly, and would likely do well in any kind of family that can give him the exercise he needs. Edgar is neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on his vaccines. His adoption fee goes toward these costs.

Story
Meet the Mooshy Mochi! We love this big headed boy! He is super trainable and such an affectionate fella. Check out the report card from his foster mama ... &#226&#128&#139Crate Training (A+): He is a total pro. He’s been crate trained since day one—no whining at all, and he sleeps in there like a baby. Zero anxiety. Walking (A-): He is very polite and sticks right by my side. I used the starmark collar a couple of times and he was great. He shows zero leash reactivity toward other dogs! He still gets a little spooked by loud noises or those big Christmas inflatables at night, but his confidence is growing daily. House Training (B-): Not quite 100% yet. We’ve had a few pee accidents, but he’s never marked and he really tries to make it outside. He’s very trainable, so I think he’ll get there soon. Other Dogs (A-): He and Gloria are doing great! They coexist peacefully and love napping in the sun together. He didn't even react to our neighbor’s barking Chihuahua through a fence! If he hears another dog start barking, he startles easily and will bark back. But I think that’s pretty normal for most dogs. &#226&#128&#139Cats: Unknown, but based on his mellow demeanor, I think he could be trained to coexist with kitties. People & Kids: He is great with strangers but gets very excitable and jumps up to say hi. Because of the jumping, he’d probably do best with experienced owners, if there are young toddlers in the home. Food & Toys: He’s a fast eater (might need a slow-feeder bowl!), but he’s learning to "sit and wait" for his food in his crate. Best of all, he’s not possessive—he lets me take toys or bones right out of his mouth. Mochi is going to be the perfect companion for a lucky family!
