Story
Hello, I'm Elio. I was brought into the county shelter as a stray before coming to VOCAL. I can be a bit shy and nervous with new people, so I definitely need a person with patience who can help bring me out of my shell. However, I act like a different dog when I'm around other dogs! I love to play with dogs and being around them helps boost my confidence greatly. One other thing about me is that I love to chew on toys! Even though I can make a bit of a mess, I sure have a good time while doing it! Don't blame a guy for having fun!

Story
Walter is not your average shelter dog—he’s a bold, opinionated guy with a lot to say and a whole lot of heart for the right person. He can be bossy and loud, especially when he’s excited or has something important to announce. One thing is non-negotiable: Walter LOVES toys. Loves them. Collects them. Buries them all over the yard like priceless treasure. He can get a little obsessive about them, so an adopter who understands boundaries and structure will be key. Walter does have stranger danger and needs time and patience to build trust. He isn’t the kind of dog who falls in love at first sight—but once he forms a relationship, his softer, more affectionate side starts to shine. The bond you earn with Walter is a special one. Because Walter does best with slow, thoughtful introductions, he is available by appointment only. Please call the shelter to check availability and set up a meet-and-greet.

Story
We brought Cooper home as a foster, in response to a heat advisory at the shelter this past summer. He was covered in bite marks, emaciated and exhausted. He weighed 14 lbs. He was listed as hound mix, but DNA tests revealed that he is a Shepard (51%) mix. He’s smart and funny and just wants to please. He loves to chase cats. He does NOT harm them. We think he just wants to play. The other issue is our own fault, we have a tiny backyard and this boy LOVES being outside. If you have squirrels running around, it would be his dream home! We love him and will make every effort to accommodate a loving placement. We are attempting to rehome him so he has a bigger space to roam (he’s a trotter!). He loves to play and enjoys other dogs! He’s almost a year old, has all shots, flea control and a crate.

Story
Meet Talia – Your Adventure Buddy in the Making!Talia recently took a Snout & About trip to Baseline Trailhead, and let’s just say… this girl was READY. The moment she stepped out of her kennel, all that pent-up energy came bursting out in the form of leash-grabbing, happy vocalizations, and zoomies in the yard. Potty break? Maybe later. First, we run.She’s an affectionate, people-loving dog who immediately melted into her handlers—rubbing along their legs, chatting away, and making sure everyone knew she was thrilled to be included. Loading into the car? She was all enthusiasm and slightly less coordination, needing a moment to get her back end on board—but her eagerness made up for any lack of grace.On the trail, Talia was a social butterfly. Bikes, strollers, skateboards, passing hikers—she handled it all beautifully. When people chose to say hello, she greeted them with soft, friendly energy and happily soaked up the attention. She truly enjoys being part of the action.Now, let’s talk about her muscles. Talia is STRONG. She pulls extremely hard on leash and absolutely powers forward when she’s excited. She’s not trying to be difficult—she’s just enthusiastic and athletic and hasn’t quite mastered the art of “strolling.” She will need continued leash training and a physically strong, confident handler who can safely manage her strength while helping her learn better walking manners. If you’ve been thinking about canceling your gym membership… Talia may have other plans.Other dogs are very exciting for her and Talia has had some negative interactions with dogs in the past. While she stayed quiet on the trail, she became intensely focused when passing them and wasn’t interested in treats in those moments. Though she has lived with dogs previously, we think it may be better if she`s an only-pup moving forward. She’ll need continued support and management around canine distractions.The best part? After her initial excitement, she settled into the rhythm of the walk and truly enjoyed the adventure—especially when given a little extra freedom on a long line in quiet areas. She’s a dog who thrives when she has space to move and a person to share it with.Talia is affectionate, adventurous, and full of life. She’s looking for an active home that understands she’s a strong, high-energy girl who will need guidance, consistency, and someone sturdy at the other end of the leash. In return, she’ll give
