Story
Cruz Cruz is pit shepard mix and is a very active and happy boy. Just finished a week at board and train. He is extramely smart and wants to impress, he absolutely loves toys and playing fetch. He is neutered, potty trained and doggy door trained. He will walk on a leash but needs some patience to learn not to pull. He hops right in the car for ride time and loves sticking his head out the window. He will go in a crate but isn't very happy about being in there and will make some noise about it for a while. He preferes to be wherever his human is at and is perfectly content just being near them and he loves sleeping at the end of the bed. He has a deformed ear which is guessed to have been caused by an untreated ear infection earlier in life, it doesn't seem to cause him any pain or issues at this point. While Cruz was around other male dogs with no issues at the shelter as well as board and train he will need slow and supervised introductions to other males in his new home. I have two large male dogs of my own and they just don't want to be friendly with Cruz which has resulted in some agressive interactions. This means Cruz has to be secluded quite a bit of the time which is unfair to him and makes him very sad. This boy is ultimately looking for his forever home but is open to a foster or foster to adopt situation! He is under the care of BAMM Rescue and I am currently his foster. If you or anyone you know is looking for a wonderful companion message me! ##2483095##

Story
Aspen is listed as a 3-year-old female Labrador Retriever Mix, she was brought in by a field officer after her owner was arrested. She was never reclaimed and was saved from the euthanasia list in Modesto, ca. She was brought in with 2 cats so she is possibly cat friendly. Aspen presents with toe touching lameness LTL; thickening of the elbow with decreased range of motion and muscle atrophy. X-rays show luxation of the left elbow joint, chronic degenerative changes. So basically, she walks with a limp but doesn't let it slow her down! Someone forgot to tell Aspen that she has these injuries! Aspen is happy, energetic, runs zoomies around the yard, very people social and dog friendly after slow introductions. She is a sweet girl, who loves being with her people. Aspen would love the chance at a new beginning, maybe this time one that will be able to shower her with love and affection. I don't know if Aspen will have any medical needs, it is likely that as she ages arthritis will be in her future but as of now she fly's like she's free of pain. ##2483098##

Story
Ashton is a 2 year old male fixed brown and black fixed GSD Hi there, I’m Ashton! I’m a people pup through and through — I love meeting new humans and I get along with dogs too. I know how to sit (very polite of me), and I’m always up for a good walk, though sometimes I get excited and pull on the leash. I do have a little resource guarding with things I really value, but it’s pretty mild and something I can work on with the right guidance. At heart, I’m just a sweet, adoptable boy who wants to learn, play, and snuggle. If you’re looking for a dog who’s affectionate, social, and ready to grow alongside you, I think we’d make a great match. ##2498969##
