Story
Balsam is a playful, friendly, and slightly aloof Dutch Shepherd mix puppy with a huge personality (and massive paws to match!).He loves running around and is learning the ropes of puppy life. He's easy to walk and redirect. He understands sit, down, and come commands. Heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s working on stay, wait, and paw as well as learning hand signals for the same commands.His temperament is mild, affectionate, and curiousâ&#194&#128&#194&#148he's just figuring out life and needs a patient human to help him learn basic manners, engagement, and social skills.He's a loyal, goofy ball of love, ready to grow into a fantastic companion. He would thrive with an older dog sibling to teach him the ways of the world and show him how to be the best puppy ever.Balsam is all about fun, exploration, and friendship, and his massive paws are really just a clue to the even bigger heart inside.If you're looking for a playful, loving, and slightly clumsy puppy with a heart as big as his paws, Balsam's your boy!To make an appointment to meet this lover boy, please to to yoloshelter.org/adopt.January 21, 2026, 6:48 pm

Story
Hello! My ex-wife and I adopted Brisket from Front Street Animal Shelter in Sacramento when she was under a year old. She's 5 now and the shelter believes she's a Dutch Shepherd mix. She's fully house-trained, has never had an accident, and doesn’t destroy anything except her toys. Brisket is generally good with people but can get anxious in loud environments (parties, live music, construction) and has nipped at someone before. She barks at outside noises or deliveries with a deep bark, but stops after a few seconds. At home, she’s okay with other dogs as long as they don’t bother her; if they do, she’ll growl or slap them. She also has some leash aggression when approaching other dogs during walks. Brisket is very loving but has always been a bit fearful, though she’s improved over time. She’d likely do best in a calm home with someone who enjoys playing and cuddling.

Story
Meet Brian, the brindle Dutch Shepherd who proves not all Brians are the same! Unlike the Simpsons version, this boy is all wiggles, grins, and delightful mischief. He’s the fun-loving, slightly naughty sidekick you didn’t know you needed.Brian is that perfect combo of handsome, intelligent, and loyal—a dog who learns quickly, bonds deeply, and keeps life interesting. He’s a medium-sized adventurer who prefers exploring the world over pursuing any musical ambitions. (Trust us… no rockstar career in this guy’s future. He’s way too busy having fun.)Whether he’s showing off his happy dance, trotting proudly at your side, or flashing you one of his trademark smiles, Brian brings a spark of joy everywhere he goes. He’s ready for hikes, yard play, and all the excitement you can throw his way.If you’re looking for a dog who’s equal parts brainy, bouncy, and bursting with charm, Brian is your guy. Come meet him and let the adventures begin!Brian has participated in shelter playgroups and may enjoy a compatible canine friend in his new home.  He`s a helper dog in playgroups and loves to play, so he`s brought lots of dogs out of their shell by convincing them to play with him.  He`s also sharing his shelter suite with a friend he met at the shelter.   Looking for a buddy for your dog?  Bring him/her to the shelter for a meet and greet and see if we`re a match!  Check out his playgroup video here:To meet me, visit the Bradshaw Animal Shelter Tuesday-Sunday, Noon - 5:00 pm, Wednesdays, Noon - 6:00 pm. All adoptions are on a first-come, first-served basis. To help expedite the meet and greet process, please make note of my Animal ID number, and those of other dogs you might be interested in meeting. Be sure to bring your ID with you, too.

Story
The two photos show how her fur changes color in the Sun versus in the shade. Vivian is the biggest love bug you will ever meet, she adores affection and attention. She lived a very rough life on the streets and was written off by many other rescues as unfavorable because of her advanced abscesses and sexually transmitted cancer that she was facing. The recommendation was to euthanize her. Thankfully her advocate contacted us and with the help with our skilled veterinarian team we were able to save her! She is now ready to start the next chapter in her life cancer free!

Story
Xena is a playful, goofy puppy who loves to demonstrate her zoomie technique and then quickly return to you for a tasty treat. She is energetic but has a good off switch inside. She is a bit cautious and prefers to take her time to get comfortable with new things, so time and patience win the day. She will be at her best in a moderately active environment and would do well with other dogs that have a similar play style.

Bravo is a sweet, affectionate German Shepherd who was recently rescued from Yolo County shelter has been steadily coming out of his shell in foster care.

He does best with calm, respectful introductions and people who understand shepherd communication and boundaries. ~ Ideal Home: • Shepherd-savvy or experienced dog owners preferred • Adults or older teens who can respect space • Patient, confident handler who enjoys building trust • Continued training will help him thrive (he’s smart and eager!)

Story
Clay is a 4 year old neutered male livestock guardian/shepherd mix. He loves people more than anything. He is good with cats and small dogs. He is okay with some large dogs and not others. He has not been observed around young kids. Clay is medium energy. He loves to run and play as well as cuddle and nap. He is still building confidence in new situations and with new people. He is very shy in public. At home, he is confident and always wants to be by his person's side. He will need someone willing to go slowly when introducing him to new people, animals and experiences. Clay was found on the streets of Modesto as a stray. No one claimed him. He was set to be euthanized at the shelter due to overpopulation before we took him. At the shelter, he was terrified and kept to himself in the corner, shut down in fear. In his foster home, he is lively and social.

Story
Marvin is a 2 year old Belgian Malinois. He is dog and people friendly. He has not been observed around cats. Marvin is high energy, playful, and affectionate. He loves toys, walks, playing, and pets. Belgian Malinois are a working breed and require physical and mental stimulation to thrive. Marvin and his sister Molly were found together as strays in Modesto and set to be euthanized at the local shelter due to overpopulation. We pulled them both and placed them in a foster home together. They love playing with each other, but they do rile each other up. They can be adopted separately. If adopted together, their adopter needs breed experience. Marvin is doing well in foster. Molly had to be placed in boarding for going after the foster’s small dog.
