Story
Max is a wonderful, loyal, loving, chill dog. He is three years old and up to date on all vaccines, leash trained and loves walks, loves cuddling, playing, and just lounging on the couch with you. Max unfortunately does have a stage 4 heart murmur but is untreatable. Vet said he will live until he is unable to live anymore and can be up to 8-9 years. This heart murmur doesnt stop him much, if the vet never told us we wouldnt know. He is still active, loves long walks, playing fetch, and cuddling up watching your favorite movie. He is good with all animals, people and kids. He currently lives in a home with his pup brother Milo, and 3 younger kids (3,6,11). Needing to rehome him do to busy schedule with working full time and now travel ball with kids, he isnt getting the love and attention he deserves. Hoping to find his loving home as soon as possible, let me know what questions you have, I am happy to answer them all!

Story
Milo is your all around happy, loyal, energetic, people pleaser pup. He is 3 years old on May 18, 2026. He LOVES to play with water (the hose or even water balloons) and he loves walking (Is leash trained), even loves walking off leash and wont go far from his owner. He is a big cuddle bug, will jump on you just for hugs and loves to talk when he is about to be fed his food. He also loves to play fetch and will do that over and over again and bring you the ball back each time. He is good with other dogs and animals. He also is good with people and children down to toddlers/babies. Ive had Milo since he was a baby and he grew up with my three children from age 1 up to 12. He loves to play with each one of them and he also loves cuddling on the couch with them. He is the all around loyal friend you are looking for. I unfortunately dont have the time to give him the attention he wants and deserves with working full time and travel ball sports. Looking for a good, loving home for him.

Story
Due to unfortunate circumstances we have to rehome our sweet boy kai. He was adopted from the petco shelter. He has bad allergies so thats why you see a donut on his neck to prevent licking.He isnt handicapped or disabled just that he has allergies. We spray him morning and night on his belly and leave a cone on him when hes alone.he is so sweet but takes a awhile to warm up to a new person. He has bitten people before but only because they walked straight up to him.he gets along with our pomeranian. But we haven't tried introduction to other dogs.once he feels comfortable he is so loyal to the people around him. We have a mobile groomer that he trusts and likes. He will bite any regular groomer because of to much stimulation. If we thought he would be a true problem we wouldnt rehome him. He is so sweet and I hope he is loved unconditionally

Story
Bailey is one Chill Dude! He is a big Velcro Dog. He pretty much just wants to sleep most of the day, as long as he knows where you are but loves a nice long walk too. He is great on leash, no pulling or reactivity. He is the epitome of a gentle giant. He loves his foster's Cal King bed. She said she probably should not have let him get on it BUT the lure of having a huge snuggle bunny in bed at night, was just too tempting. Now he is in heaven and rarely leaves the bed. Bailey came from the Stockton Shelter, he had a large mass on his spleen, and an enlarged prostate with 2 very large testicles swinging around. We were able to raise $5,000 to get all of his medical done - splenectomy, neuter and ears cleaned and treated) and now he is just perfect. Tumor was benign so he is ready to be your life size snuggle bunny, if you are ready. We have noticed slight resource guarding with human food (reason he should not be in the kitchen) and high value treats but it is not very bad and we are working on it using "trade up" or not allowing him to have items he feels he needs to guard. As far as other dogs, he really does not care about them. Same with cats, just sorta looks at them and then goes about his business. BUT, that does not mean there is no prey drive. We will be testing him. As far as children go, we have not had him around any of those yet, but will. I suspect he treats them just like everything else, checks it out and then moves on his way. He does have a special need. We are pretty sure he is deaf. While he was under for his operation they cleaned out his ears and treated them but he still does not really hear much. Might be why he is so chill. We will have the ears looked at next to see if there is anything more needed for him. He is ready for new foster home or adoption. We are willing to do a Foster to Adopt or just a foster if you are interested. We need him to get more interaction with other stimuli, the home he is in now is very quiet.

Story
Say hello to Chloe! Chloe came to us after being removed from a bad situation. Since then, she' been spayed, vaccinated, micro-chipped and is living large indoors and luvin it!! She adores all things soft - soft blankets, soft beds, soft laps. Since joining our foster's home back in May, Chloe has learned so many new things. She has learned that riding in a car isn't so bad if there's something good at the destination! She is completely crate-trained and house trained, and has learned to walk on a leash and go for adventures. She even went on a camping trip and was such a great camp dog, hanging out with her peeps in camp.Chloe loves to sunbathe and get belly rubs. She loves to cuddle on the couch and sleep in bed with her favorite humans. She enjoys meeting new people. During our last adoption event, she surprised everyone by how confident she was. She just wanted to meet all the people! Chloe is affectionate and gentle. She is patient and kind. She is curious and goofy. We feel that she would do well with well-mannered children, and she might even be okay with a canine companion. We have opened her world to so many new things, and she has taken everything in stride, confidently clearing all hurdles! She is ready to spread her wings in her new life with her forever family! Interested in meeting Chloe?

Story
Meet Mallory! Mallory is the dog version of a sprite. She is always happy and excited about life! She will self pacify with her toys, she goes out on a skateboard run daily for 45 minutes (pulls the rider, foster's neighbor) and is very athletic. Mallory's play style is rough, so not all dogs appreciate her energy, but she does very well with like minded dogs. She is fine spending the day at home, excited to see you when you get home and just wants to sit on your lap (she does need to learn about personal space) and watch tv in the evenings. She is high energy when needed but is happy as long as she is with her person. Mallory is a Stanislaus Shelter Survivor. We made contact with her original owners and know a lot about her background. She was an adorable puppy. You can see the love in her eyes. Interested in meeting Mallory?
