Story

🐾 Meet Nugget: The Loyal Couch Potato with a Sprinkler Obsession 🐾 Location: Lakewood, CA Not a fan of small talk or chaotic energy? Perfect—Nugget isn’t either. He’s the introvert’s dream bestie: chill, respectful, and always down for a peaceful walk (he’s got leash manners that would make your grandma proud). Nugget is a medium-energy dude who lives for the simple pleasures in life: ☀️ Sunbathing like he’s on a doggie vacation 🌱 Splooting and rolling in grass like it’s his personal spa 💦 Waging war with the sprinkler (and loving every minute) 🍖 Devouring snacks with Olympic-level enthusiasm He’s crate trained, knows his boundaries, and appreciates structure. Social butterfly? Not so much. More like a slow-burning candle of loyalty and love. Nugget takes his time getting to know you, but once you’re “his person,” it’s game over—you’ve got a full-blown cuddle bug on your hands. We’re talking lean-in-for-scratches, melty-eyed affection, and loyalty for life. Dog-friendly? You bet. Just give him time to warm up with proper intros and you’ll see him do the polite tail wag of approval. Sound like your kind of wingman?

Story

Meet Macy, a trained, sweet 6 year old Female German Shepherd mix looking for forever home. Macy is a courtesy posting. She was abandoned, then brought in by some dog lovers that tried to find her owner with no luck. Those dog lovers already have two dogs, including one elderly female yellow lab and it was too much for them. But they fell in love with her, got her all caught up on Vet care and sent her to training and socialization for a month so she could find her best life. She would be great as an only dog or partner to a male dog. Macy has been trained at Diablo K-9 Academy and knows all basic commands. She is spayed, fully vaccinated and ready to go to her new forever home. If you're interested please submit an application by pasting the following into your browser www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/TVAR/Dog or email Shane at Diablo K9 academy at shane@diablok9.com

Story

This is Yara! She is just an itty bitty little pittie mix, less than 40lbs! She’s a great dog. She’s sweet, playful and so cuddly. She loves her food time and will wait patiently until her bowl is set down. She loves her toys and will just take them and play outside on the lawn. She loves meeting new people and isn’t shy. She’s a pro in the car! Also crate and house trained. She loves looking out the window on car rides, walking on the leash. She walks great, and would be great as a running partner. Probably no kitties or small animals in the home for Yara they are a bit too interesting for her! Yara is being fostered in Sacramento, CA. If you would like to meet Yara, please fill out an adoption application on our website www.californiabullyrescue.org/adopt

Ziva

American Staffordshire Terrier Mixed Breed (Medium)

Female, 2 yrs 5 mos

Pleasanton, CA

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained,

Story

Meet Ziva: Your Future Co-Pilot, Squeaky Toy Connoisseur, and Professional Snuggler-in-Training! 🐾✨ Ziva’s story starts like a country song — found scared and scruffy in a rural area, down on her luck but full of heart. Now? She's ready to glow up in her forever home! Her name means radiant in Hebrew and living in Slavic — and trust us, this little lady lives up to both. 🌟 Estimated to be around 2–3 years old, Ziva is a total beauty queen who may have had a rough past (possibly used for breeding 😢), but she's not letting that dim her sparkle. From day one, all she’s wanted is love, cuddles, and maybe a few snacks (okay… a lot of snacks). She’s super food motivated and knows "sit" and "no" like a champ. She’s also crate trained, potty trained, and a very polite beggar — just don’t be surprised if she shoots you puppy eyes worthy of an Oscar. 🎭🍗 Ziva’s idea of a good time? Squeaky toys (the louder, the better), joy rides (she’s a pro at loading up and keeping chill in the car), and basking in the company of her favorite humans. She’ll even serenade you with an adorable “woo woo” when it’s time for dinner or crate breaks. She does best with slow intros to other medium-to-large dogs and keeps things pretty neutral — no drama here! She’s not a fan of cats, livestock, or tiny critters (prey drive alert 🚨), so she’d prefer a home without them. She may bark at new people and unfamiliar dogs at first, but she’s working hard on building her confidence and trusting the world again. Ziva would thrive in a home that gives her space to settle in, time to trust, and lots of love (and treats — seriously, treats help). Got a soft spot for underdogs with big hearts? Ziva might just be your soulmate with paws. 💕

Enter Mommas, saved just in the knick of time and ready to live her best life — and yours, too, if you’re lucky enough to adopt her! This petite powerhouse is under 50 lbs but has a heart the size of Texas and a personality that’s 100% spice and snuggles. She may be part pittie, part chihuahua, but she’s ALL sass, sweetness, and second-chance sparkle. ✨ The Mommas Rundown: ✔️ Crate trained – Her crate is her castle (with yak chews, obviously). ✔️ Leash queen – Struts her stuff like she’s on a doggy runway. ✔️ Dog + people lover – She’s all about making furry and human BFFs. ✔️ Certified talker – Got opinions, will share. Expect adorable mutters and sassy side-eye commentary. ✔️ Yak chew connoisseur – Will trade kisses for chew time. Mommas is loving, loyal, and bursting with gratitude — and she’ll remind you every day just how magical second chances really are. Adopt Mommas and get yourself a little dog with a big story and an even bigger heart. 💖🐾

Story

🌟 Meet Coco – The Fluffy Pitty with a Heart of Gold! 💛 Straight outta Kern County and straight into our hearts, Coco is a 6-year-old, 55lb bundle of pure sunshine who’s been living her best post-shelter life since August 14th! ☀️ We’re not totally sure what mix of magic she’s made of (seriously, your guess is as good as ours 😅), but one thing’s for sure — this “fluffy pitty” is 100% good vibes only. Coco is sweet as candy, friendly with other dogs, crate-trained, and struts her stuff on leash like she’s walking a red carpet. 🎬 She’s happiest when she’s with her people, soaking up cuddles and love like it’s her full-time job. 💕 She is in a loving foster home where she can keep shining bright until her forever family finds her. Could that be you? ✨ #RescueDog #FluffyPitty #AdoptDontShop #FosterLove #CaliforniaBullyRescue
