Story

Everyone say hello to Benny — the goodest boy who is officially SAFE because a foster stepped up and said YES 🙌💛 He was rescued from @stanislaus_shelter_friends after being euthanasia listed not once but twice 🥺 With only hours left to live, that one yes to fostering saved his life. Benny is 4 years old, 58 lbs, and 100% sweet boy energy. He can get a teensy bit overstimulated when he’s excited (honestly… same), but give him a minute and he settles right down like a champ. 🧘‍♂️✨ His favorite coping skill? 👉 His emotional support stuffy 🧸 Never underestimate the power of a good plushie. Benny is affectionate, lovable, and so grateful to be out of the shelter and into foster care where he can finally exhale and be his goofy, loving self. Huge thank you to the foster who opened their heart and home, you saved this boy’s life. 💙 Welcome to rescue life, Benny. The best chapters start now.

Story

Star is a beautiful older puppy who is looking for a loving and caring home to call her own. She started her journey as a shy protector of her sister, but she has blossomed into a happy girl who loves to choose her own adventures—whether that’s a solo nap in her crate, a group snuggle on the sofa or picking out a toy and playing in the yard. The Highlights: • Fully House-trained: She knows exactly how to use the yard! • Expert Napper: Star is a "work-from-home" pro and is happy to snooze while you handle your Zoom calls. • Social Butterfly: Great with large and small dogs. She’s a playful pup who loves a good game of tag. Star does have a silly side—she’s a loud snorer and sometimes gets a little too excited when guests arrive—but her sweetness is unmatched. She’s looking for a home with soft blankets, plenty of toys, and a family who doesn't mind a little happy snoring at night!

Female, 2 yrs 8 mos

Pleasanton, CA

Size

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

Details

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Mia - The one, the only, the miracle mutt! This 38 pound cutie was past due for euthanasia and was saved in the nick of time #euthlistsurvivor. At just 2 years old she has a heck of a lot more life to live! Mia loves to start her day off by giving her people lots of love and wiggles. As soon as you start walking towards her food for breakfast you can expect her dancing to begin. It’s guaranteed to make you smile! While Mia is protective of the home, she is a very chill princess inside! She loves watching tv (yes full on invested in plots and all) and laying on the couch with her ball. Anything Food Network is sure to grab her attention. She is a very silly girl who loves to play and chew on her toys (certified super chewer). If you need some comedic relief, she’s the girl for you. No furry roommates please - Mia is her best self when she’s the only pet around. Kids? Mia loves meeting them but is best suited for a house with kids ages 10+ only due to her playful, jumpy personality. Mia is still working on her leash training. While she does deal with heightened anxiety outdoors, the right person can help her feel at ease. Mia has a super stylish pink muzzle that protects her #gooddogswearmuzzles or her favorite ball will do the job to keep her mouth occupied when she gets spooked. Her trainer verified that it’s more than just a ball, it’s her anxiety relief. A calm neighborhood or open park is the ideal place to walk Mia - busy streets and complexes can be overwhelming for this shelter survivor. Mia needs a slow introduction to all men - but once you prove your good intentions you’ll win her heart over. Bonus Features: - Potty and grass pad pro - Crate trained! She will snooze if you have to leave the house for a few hours - Part time doorbell + full time cuddle bug If you’re looking for a loyal companion, a genuine sweetheart, and someone to make you laugh you need to give Mia a call! She is currently being fostered in sunny Orange County, California and is taking applications for her forever human!

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
