Story
Ruby is an awesome dog. She has had extensive training. I have had her for a year it breaks my heart to have to rehome her. My schedule keeps me away from home a lot. She is kennel trained as well as can be left in the house. Her favorite thing is to go biking with me this can easily be adapted to a wheelchair. I take her into stores and in the bus. Plays well with the other dogs at the dog park. Everything that she has goes with her. She is 20 months old 65% Doberman 35% German Shepherd I have the dna papers. CGCA registered. Perfect companion dog, look no further.

Story
Hello, I’m looking to re-home my 3yr old baby boy Hercules. He’s a cuddly, loving, single child who loves to be the center of attention. He loves people, but picky about other dogs. He likes to be the one and only, and does not do well with dogs larger than him. He loves his naps, he’ll do anything for a treat, and he will play tug of war with you for as long as you can. Unfortunately my partner and I have decided our apartment is just too small for our big guy, and we won’t be relocating to a house as soon as we thought. We want to find someone to love our pup as much as we do, but give him more space and a yard as well. He’s such a good boy and utilizes his puppy dog eyes to get what he wants, and I hope he melts your heart as much as he does to ours.

Story
Denji has a full heart, is great with family and kids, and is highly intelligent. He’s a beautiful chow and Samoyed mix, known as eurasier breed, which combines the best of both worlds. He’s a curious and loving dog who would do best in a 1 dog home.

Story
Maggie is a sweet 2.5 y/o GSD. Maggie has been with our family for most of her life, as we got her when she was approx 6 months. We moved from out of state to our current home now in California, and unfortunately, we dont have the space, time, or energy to get her the exercise she needs due to busy work/life/school schedules. Shes such a sweet girl, but she can be timid, so until she warms up to her family, she needs a slow and easy approach. She absolutely does not bite, or show signs of aggression, but sometimes she might get nervous and have a small accident on the floor :(, thats okay though, we know that it was an accident, so all is well after we give her a snack to show her shes not in trouble. We have another elderly dog, whom Maggie gets along with and loves to run and play with, but my other girl is getting old and tired. We want to rehome Maggie to a loving family, and we want to make sure she is a good fit. We love this crazy lady, and want the best for her.

Story
Hello! My birth name is Adonis but my family calls me Mr Bubs. I am a sweet, silly 10 month old boxer. I am good with dogs, cats, kids and love to cuddle with my people. I am 95% couch potato and 5% zoomer! I am good on leash with my front clip harness and house trained. I need extra strength chew toys because I love to rip the stuffing out! I make a fantastic companion, road buddy and lm looking for a home with a friend that I can spend my time with when my pawrents arent home. Fun fact: Im scared of light post and stop signs (nobody understands why!) *we are looking for a home that is willing to keep in contact so we know he will be safe and in good hands.*
