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
Meliora is a very playful girl, loves tug a war and loves playing with an empty water bottle. She is friendly but is a little rough to play with and can be a bit jumpy, but overall she just wants to be loved by someone she trust. She loves the outdoors and going on walks or to the dog park. She needs a loving new home, we weren’t able to care for her as well as we wanted to with a newborn in our life’s and two working parents. Hope she gets to have a nice yard to run in and to live more happily!

Story
Reba came to us just in the nick of time and she as her nine(!) puppies were about to be euthanized at a high kill CA shelter. She was in very bad shape with underlying allergies causing her major skin problems, skin tumors and a shrunken, blind eye. But she was the best mama ever and now that her puppies have found homes, she would love to find one as well. Reba's very sweet & tender. She is blind in one eye so sometimes nervous in new surroundings. She is not very confident & can seem timid. Reba loves to play & be with kids. She's good with cats although curious & wants to be playful. She does well with calm dogs. Reba has a kind heart and is looking for a family who is willing to give her their time, attention & a chance to earn her trust. She does well in a kennel for bedtime & short stints although not good for her socialization to kennel too much. Her curiosity does drive her to want to run & explore so a fully fenced yard is a must!! If you are interested in meeting Reba, please fill out an application at www.tahoewarf.org and text 775-338-6631 or 775-846-3773.October 22, 2025, 12:55 pm

Story
*** COURTESY LISTING *** PLEASE CALL OR E-MAIL THE PERSON LISTED. DO NOT CONTACT WARF AS WE HAVE NO FURTHER INFO. With his family, Hank is very loving goofy and relatively calm. He does not require extensive exercise and does not pester. A 20 minute walk or a quick romp off leash suffices for him. He loves to play tug-of-war fetch with his babies and frisbee when he gets excited his little tail TikTok's and he lets out an energetic howl. Hank is good with commands and very intelligent. He's a good traveler we've had him off-road and in the motorhome. He's good being left alone and is not a chewer. He gets along with other dogs with a slow introduction. If you are interested in Hank, please contact Alicia at 831-676-7670October 24, 2025, 1:32 pm
