Story
Dax is a working line German shepherd. We got him at 10 weeks old and put an immense amount of work/training into him. He’s a sweet boy, but requires more work from us than we can give him at this time. We have 2 young children and one on the way. He does so well with our kids and is loyal. He can be very vocal when he doesn’t receive our immediate attention. Dax enjoys fetch, walks, car rides, meeting new people, and hide-and-go seek. He also really loves training with treats. He knows basic commands, is kenneled when we are gone, and doesn’t mind loud noises (such as fireworks and thunderstorms). He would do really well with a companion who can give him the time and attention he seeks. We haven’t had him around other dogs much, and seems to be a little territorial of his space. I’m not sure if this is something that could be worked through, or just his temperament. Is Dax the companion dog you’re looking for? He can’t wait to meet you!

Story
River has fear based aggressive reactivity and struggles with meeting new people/dogs. It take some time but he ends up creating strong bonds in a few days. He has a very fun and silly personality, acts like a husky but has the desire to please like the working breed he is. He has food aggression towards other animals and now attacks our cats because of one incident and we just had a baby introduced to the family and have to rehome him. I believe he’s completely workable with someone who knows dogs well. He was my first dog and we got attacked by another dog when he was a puppy and the dog neutered him and I was too scared to take him out much after that so he wasn’t socialized. I’ve been trying to really work on this past month so it’s easier for him to adjust to leaving (inteoducing him to people and taking him on walks working on training again) I love him so much but I can’t give him what he needs and I can’t have him attacking my cats either. He deserves a good home and a chance

Story
***Currently located Downey, CA*** Aloha… my name is Sadie  I’m looking for a person or family who wants a real companion, not just a pet, but a friend. I want to share your quiet moments, your adventures, and everything life brings in between.   Before I was even born, life was already uncertain. My mom, Sassy, was out there on her own, doing her best to survive. Kind people in the community helped feed her, but living on the streets is never easy—especially when you’re carrying eight tiny babies. Five girls… three boys… and one very brave mama trying to keep us all alive. She did everything she could for us. Then, something amazing happened… a kind woman stepped in to make sure my mom stayed safe and fed while she cared for us. And when we were about seven weeks old, another angel helped us find a foster home. Just in time too, because the cold and rain were coming. That’s when everything changed. For the first time, I felt what it was like to be warm… to be safe… to be inside a home. Now I sleep in a cozy place, run around outside playing, and then come back in to rest without worrying about what comes next. I’ve learned how good it feels to be loved. And my favorite thing?I love being held by my Foster Mom and putting my little paws around my foster mom's arm and holding on as tight as I can. I don’t just cuddle… I hold on.  Because deep down, I think I’ve always been waiting for someone to hold onto. I love people, I love playing in the water when the weather is nice. I’m discovering all the simple joys of being a puppy, belly rubs, sniffari adventures, playtime, and just being close to my human. I’ve been to the vet, and I’m healthy, up to date on my vaccines, and even neutered. My foster mom says I’m a very good girl. I’m trying my best to learn everything I can so you will be proud of me. I am crate trainied, love my crate and sleep through the night.  I go outside to go potty.  My mom says I am a fast learner. I’m ready now… ready for my Furever Home. A home where I won’t have to wonder what tomorrow looks like. A home where I can love YOU for the rest of my life. My mom is small (about 14 lbs), and my dad, well, he’s the fluffy white guy in my pictures who looks like a poodle or poodle mix. He's lightly bigger than my mom.  I’m one of the smallest pups of the litter and I am learning to speak up for myself.  I will probably be smaller than my mom.  All I need now… is you. I hope I’m the one you’ve been looking for, because I’ve been waiting for you. If you feel that little tug on your heart, please click the Adopt button and fill out an application so we can meet. I can’t wait to finally be home.

Story
***Currently located in Guerrero, Mexico*** Hi everyone! My name is Osa, which means bear in Spanish. I am a black lab looking girl and definitely have some bear traits to show off, like silky soft fur, warm eyes and a lot of cup, I mean, pup-energy! I was found on the streets in bad shape and very hungry. On top of the suffering you face when you haven't eaten in days, I also had a bad limp in one of my front legs. Everything was a blur, I cannot remember how that happend, maybe another dog, maybe a car... A kind Mexican woman had mercy on me and brought me to the shelter, where I am still today. For the first time in my life, I experienced what safety means- I had food, water, a warm, dry place to sleep and, the best part, friends! Since then there hasn't been a single day when I went hungry again. My two besties and I play a lot together! We romp around like crazy and may sometimes run over one of the smaller puppers in our excitement (oopsies!). As I grow up, I will try to be more careful (or will I? ). To run and chase my friends is a lot of work and I recently noticed that I have zero pain in my leg- it has healed completely! Thankfully, because I wouldn't wanna miss all the fun!  I also like to get all the attention from the humans. Soft pets and chin rubs are the best! When the volunteers sit down to pet us, I will hang around for quite some time before I get myself a toy to play with. I am very friendly, but sometimes I don't quite know the social etiquette and I would love to have my personal human that can teach me how to properly dog and to be fully compatiable with their family! Learning new things is fun!  Another dog in the home would be cool, but it is not a must for me if I can get a lot of exercise and if we can go on play dates or to the dog park. I love toys, especially ropes and .. actually everything   I cannot wait to meet my future family and go on all the adventures with them! Lots of facelicks, your Osa   If you are interested in FOSTERING, click on the Foster Button and fill out the online Foster Application If you are interested in ADOPTING, click on the Adopt Button and fill out the online Adoption Application Check out our VOLUNTEER Opportunities here https://www.surfersforstrays.org/get-involved  If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact us.
