Story
Vampy is a lover. She loves to cuddle . She doesn't dig . She loves other animals for example my son's chinchilla . She was really good with it. She's good around other dogs and kids. She's 2 years old we've had her that long. She needs hard toys to chew on as opposed to soft toys. She loves belly rubs and gives the softest kisses. She knows her commands and is a very smart dog. I hope you can give her a good home and be a great parent for her.

Story
Boomer is glad to see you! He's a very happy dog. He's 2 years old we've had him his whole life. He's protective yet very loving and cuddly. Still need hard toys as opposed to anything soft cuz he just rips them to shreds. He's good with other animals. For example my son's chinchilla. He knows how to smell instead of lick something. He's a good boy . I hope you can be a good parent to him.

Story
Please apply to foster or adopt! Jude finished his training and doing so great! He was in a program for over 60 days and has proven to be ready for a foster or adoptive home. Trainers are able to give some sessions to show what he has learned! We would love to get him in a home soon. Jude is about 2 years old now, neutered, vacinated and chipped. He was rescued from the Avenal animal shelter, where he spent nine months in the shelter as a 6 month old puppy. The boredom and distress he experienced are unimaginable. Now that Jude has been out of the shelter, he has learned and adapted very well. He had a couple foster homes that did not work out for him. Since then, he has been with RFRD training and done very very well! You could see such wonderful results from the training program! He has been decompressed with food nearby and we know he could find a forever home now! We’ve seen promising progress at the training facility. He is now looking for a furever home or foster. He is located in San Jose ca and very dog friendly, he also comes with training, one on one sessions and would do best with older children if any. He is good with people and learned to be open to new surroundings. Jude Walks well on a leash, potty trained and would love to meet you! He is a tall handsome boy that just needed a chance. Please apply to meet Jude! Located San Jose caSeptember 2, 2025, 9:02 am

Story
Happy Holidays! My name is Izzy. I'm a fun loving 8 year old gal that doesn't let my age get in the way of having a merry good time! I was rescued by a dog loving lady and driven all the way from an overcrowded shelter in L.A. I was saved without a moment to spare. I was sick as a dog with a terrible cold and cough along with double ear infections. I was in desperate need of some TLC and medical attention. I have now recovered from my cold, cherry eye repair and spay. I'm a loving little lady that loves people and children. Yes, any human that pets and shows me love, I am yours! I'm meeting new dogs and like the small ones best. I'm learning proper introductions to bigger dogs, I get so overly excited I get a bit pushy and realizing dogs don't want to play with me so much. I'm enjoying car rides, love treats and getting better with short walks. I'm happy with my comfy bed and enjoy being the center of attention! I love it when people call me cute, what a little doll and stuff like that. I like dressing up, I get more attention and treats that way. If your looking for a loyal little lady to be by your side snuggled up watching the New Year's Eve celebrations, I'm your gal! Just look how cute I am all dressed up!

Story
Adopt Cedar This Handsome boy has been looking for a home for quite sometime. He was rescued at just 4 months old back in April 2024. All of his siblings found loving homes already. Cedar took some time to open up but Cedar loves the outdoors now! He is shy but playful, great with other pups, curious, and smart (taught himself the dog door on his own), food motivated which is a bonus for training! He’s crate trained, potty trained and just a stunning hound mix who was kill-listed and a true survivor! Cedar is ready for patience and love. He sleeps through the night and is learning to trust humans more and more everyday. Originally he is from the Coachella Valley, Animal Shelter and saved on Easter Sunday. ?We are very thankful for everyone that has helped all the siblings! ? With a total of eight fearful puppies who had nowhere to go. Now they have all one by one come out of their shells at their own time. We would love for Cedar to find a home where he could relax and decompress. These puppies definitely needed love and patience, and they are opening up a little by little. Cedar is one and a half years old and most likely a cattle mix dog who is, great at running and loves dogs! He is located in San Diego California.September 2, 2025, 8:41 am

Story
Adopt Pluto This handsome boy found a foster home to wait in until he finds a furever home. Pluto’s story is very heartbreaking . He didn’t deserve the fate that he had when his owner stabbed him almost to death! He was taken to the ER and revived by his amazing hospital staff. He was taken to the shelter and that’s where we were able to take him in. Pluto Does GREAT on walks!! He also Does well with other dogs, he also pays little to no attention to other dogs on walks and he seems to mind his own. Pluto plays fetch, 100% and prefers squeak toys He gets a little fixated on cats but hasn’t met any in the same home yet. Pluto honestly is overall such a great dog and i think any family would definitely love him ! Pluto is neutered, vaccinated, chipped and ready for a home. He came from neglect and had so much trauma to his body. He was stabbed by a human and lives to find a better life! His ER nurse helped him recover and then became his foster! Pluto didn’t deserve such abuse and now he gets a chance to find a home. He might be around 3 years old and has a whole life ahead of him! Pluto was rescued from the Stanislaus animal shelter. He would love to come join your family! To meet Pluto please apply! Located in San Jose ca Can anyone please open their home to adopt this sweet boy
