Story
Fitzz Roy was a recent medical relinquish by owner in the Bay Area due to a medical condition that was acute and has now resolved. Fitz is a fun-loving, active dog that will require someone with an active lifestyle. He is a busy-body with so much love to give. He is a stead-fast, hard headed boy that will benefit from some boundaries set at home but will do anything for treats and some play time with his owner. Fitzz respects boundaries of other dogs but still is an active young dog with lots of energy that can be too much for older dogs that need their space. Fitzz has shown great potential with goats and chickens, as he is not too interested in either species, but does appear to be too interested in cats. He has not actively attempted to chase or grab cats, however so maybe will do better with some time and slow introduction to them. We would love for him to go to a home with no kids, if possible, due to his hyperactive nature.

Story
Meet Cookie! A sweet, smart 5yo Border Collie who is blossoming into a wonderful country dog after the city life she grew up with. She is fully comfortable with wheelchair/walkers, gets along well with dogs and cats, and loves being your gentle, loyal shadow. She handles leashes well and is learning to watch wildlife without chasing. She's even starting to discover the joy of toys!I am reluctantly rehoming Cookie because, due to my disability, I simply cannot give her the active lifestyle, long walks, and outdoor space a young herding dog truly deserves.Cookie is a sensitive soul and feels uncertain in busy, high-stimulation environments. She needs a patient, loving home where she can continue building her confidence and working on off-leash recall.Ideal Home:Secure, physical fenced yard.Calm environment with active daily outlet.Cookie will make an incredibly devoted companion for someone ready to continue her progress.Adoption Fee: $300 (helps cover recent vet care & vaccinations).

Story
Biscuits is a sweet, curious, and energetic 2-year-old boy who loves to explore and cuddle up after a long day. We rescued him as a puppy after he was abandoned at a construction site. He has grown up with our dog and two children and is up to date on all vaccines. He is not yet neutered. Biscuits would thrive in an active home where he can get plenty of exercise, attention, and structure. He would make a great running or hiking partner! He could do well as the only dog or with a patient, well-matched dog. He is smart and loving but needs continued training. An experienced owner who is confident, consistent, patient, and committed to positive training and clear boundaries would be ideal. We love Biscuits dearly, but our current lifestyle doesn’t allow us to meet his needs the way he deserves. We want to find him a loving home where he can truly thrive. ❤️
