Story
Magnus is a big, loving goof with a gentle heart. He enjoys long naps but needs a daily outing to stay happy—otherwise he can get a little stir-crazy. He’s well-trained, great on leash, and reliable off leash with a beeper. Magnus knows several commands including sit, down, stay, shake, circle, and heel. We’ve also recently started practicing store behavior in dog-friendly places like Cal Ranch.He is a 3-year-old lab/mastiff/hound mix.Magnus currently lives with two dogs (one male, one female) and a cat. He does best with female dogs, as he can sometimes get a bit too rowdy with other males. He may occasionally chase the cat, but overall has learned to coexist. Ideally, he would thrive in a home with no other pets or with a calm female dog.More than anything, Magnus deserves a loving home where he’ll get the time, attention, and companionship he needs.

Story
🚨 WARNING: Fetch Addiction Ahead 🚨 Meet your new cardio coach… disguised as a dog. This is your 8-year-old Lancashire Heeler queen, proof that age is just a number and “tired” is a myth. Seriously—this girl wakes up ready to GO and will happily play fetch until you tap out and question your life choices. 💥 Stats that matter: • 🎾 Professional fetch athlete (retirement not in her vocabulary) • 💋 World-class kisser (sloppy, enthusiastic, 10/10) • 🐕 8 years young (don’t tell her she’s a “senior”) • ✨ Stunning gray/blue/silver coat—basically a walking Instagram filter • 🐶🐱 Dog + cat approved — she’s great with both! • 🚽 Potty trained (because she’s a classy lady) • 🧠 Knows basic commands — beauty and brains 💔 Backstory: Through no fault of her own, she was surrendered when her owner’s home and health situation changed. She simply had too much zest for life and not enough space to burn it off. 💖 What she’s looking for: Someone who appreciates a dog with energy, personality, and zero chill when a ball is involved. If you’ve ever said, “I wish my dog wanted to play more”… congratulations, you’ve met your match. ⚠️ Side effects of adoption may include: • Increased daily steps • Random laughter • Being aggressively loved via kisses • Never throwing a ball just once again If you’re ready for a loyal, hilarious, high-energy best friend who refuses to act her age… she’s ready to move in and take over your heart (and your arm-throwing muscles).

Story
Meet Kipo! A stunning all-white boy with the biggest ears and an even bigger personality. At around 5 years old, he’s the perfect mix of playful and chill. He loves walks (even in the rain), car rides, pup cups, and trips to Petco. This high-energy sweetheart is super friendly and thrives on attention. He’s a bit of a class clown, easily distracted and always keeping things fun. While he enjoys playtime, he’s also happy doing his own thing sometimes. Hairy, cute, and sweet—Kipo is a lovable boy who’s sure to bring joy and laughter wherever he goes.
