Story
Cinnamon is a 3 year old minpin mix with neurological issues caused by exposure to amphetamines. She has tremors that worsen when she’s excited or trying to focus on things, but she doesn’t let it stop her from running anywhere she wants to go. She would do best in a home without cats and no small animals - she has a surprisingly high prey drive that she isn’t afraid to act on.

Story
Meet Bacardi. She is approximately 5 years old and possibly a pitbull/English pointer mix. Bacardi was rescued from an overcrowded shelter, where she was scared of everyone and everything. She has made tremendous progress, and is coming out of her shell now that she is in a foster home. Bacardi is a love bug through and through, her favorite activities are couch cuddles, belly rubs, face licking, and long walks where she can sniff and explore. She will stick right by your side and would be wonderful companion to those who love relaxing inside or going on leisurely walks. Bacardi is still in the process of being crate trained and learning basic commands, though she is house trained. She has made great progress in getting used to being walked on the leash and keeps an even pace. Bacardi is shy and a bit nervous around other dogs, so she'd do best in a home where she is the only dog or around other mellow dogs that she can meet first. Bacardi does well with kids and people, but would enjoy a home with older children/teenagers as a calmer environment suits her calm demeanor. If you are interested in meeting her, please fill out an application at www.tahoewarf.org and text 775-338-6631.January 19, 2025, 6:56 pm

*** COURTESY LISTING *** PLEASE CALL OR E-MAIL THE PERSON LISTED. DO NOT CONTACT WARF AS WE HAVE NO FURTHER INFO. His name is Charlie and he's a 6 year old, what we suspect to be, Malinois. He's very energetic and enjoys playing fetch and running around, also enjoys being close to you. He's rather reactive to other dogs so a home with no do other dogs would be perfect for him. He's also never been around kids. Contact Marissa Alvarez, 209-625-7968, marissabibi@yahoo.comNovember 3, 2024, 4:20 pm

Buddy is a wonderful companion and sweet as can be. He loves leaning, snuggles and playing with his ball. A toy in his mouth is a requirement! Buddy rides nicely in the car, is well-mannered, and good with kids and dogs. Buddy is unhappy at our sanctuary and really is hoping for a family of his own.
