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. We are located at 3839 Bradshaw Road, Sacramento. I look forward to getting to know you!

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.

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

A new home with a great pet environment and loving family would be a great fit for him. He’s energetic and listens well and would be a great family dog.

Story
Hi, I’m Dennis Feinstein! I'm about 1 year old and shelter life has been a little stressful for me so I’m ready to find a calm home of my own. Once I’m out of the kennel, I’m a fun, happy guy who loves to play and enjoy life.  I do well with playful, respectful dogs and really enjoy chasing balls—I’m still learning to bring them back, so I’d love someone to help me practice! I’m also learning how to walk on a leash and improving every day. I enjoy gentle affection from people I know. With the right person, I know I’ll be a wonderful companion.  Could that be you?
