Story
We adopted Rudy from ARF (Now called Joybound in Walnut Creek) when he was a puppy. He is a 5 year old brown Shepard-Pit and weighs about 60 pounds. Rudy is a playful, affectionate companion who brings so much joy to the people around him. He loves going on walks and playing fetch in open fields, but he's just as happy cuddling next to his favorite person. Rudy would thrive best in an adult-only home where he can get the attention and calm environment he deserves.

Story
Approximately 2 years old Dob 9/21/21 Shepherd/ Malinois mix (The condensed version) She was surrendered to the shelter with 2 other dogs and was too fearful to be touched. In fact she was so fearful it was decided that the exam wouldn't be forced. A bit later that day, there were visible worms in her ?, vomit all over her kennel and she was lethargic. Very lethargic. She was so sick, parvo had to be assessed out. Treatment was started right away to support her concerning condition. She was sent to Sage for overnight care, and she went into surgery for what was suspected as Pyometra. It was discovered that she had multiple half term dead babies inside of her. She came out of surgery and started her recovery. By the next day, she could be seen interested in people and she ate food, neither task she did a few days before. These dogs were living Is in a really unhealthy situation. My understanding is the person was possibly homeless and living out of their car. Half of me has compassion for the owner who surrendered them. That person didn't dump them or relinquish them at the shelter at the first sign of trouble. That person tried to make it work living out of their car with their dogs. This is a sad story on many fronts. It's sad for the dogs and It's sad for the human: they both lost. Of course, I have feelings around having so many dogs when you can't take care of them, But that doesn't overshadow my compassion. People on facebook are very quick to be judgmental when they're Is not doing any of the work at all, And if My presidency has taught our followers anything, It said I won't put up with that. If you're not doing any of the work your opinion really doesn't matter if it's negative. Even though the shelter footed the bill for her surgery, but that doesn't mean that we haveent taken on a burden as we do with every animal. Her board & train costs money. And of course we reach out to you. Lets find her a forever home, where she has a comfy couch and space to move around. She needs someone who will deeply love her. She is friendly and sweet. She takes just minutes to bond and wants to bond. She is submissive and would do well in a home with another dog who is a bit outgoing so she can see that example and this will bring out the best in her. She could also be a great companion for a single person and can provide home protection when she bonds. Again I want to point out that this girl would have surly died if she didnt end up with the shelter medical team. Much like when Mercy arrived, the shelter was (and still is) overcrowded. They had EVERY reason to euthanize at that point, but they didnt. The willingness to survive is deep with this girl and she wasent going to give up: she was in a ? situation with parasites in and on her, dead babies inside her and so fearful she couldn't be handled properly due the the pain she was in. On the other hand, she was begging for help. The shelter medical staff didnt give up on her either. When I see people posting that the shelter medical team are just murderers and they like to kill dogs (yes, that's what all the haters call them, yet the haters wont foster or adopt any dogs to help the situation) it makes me sick. I shake my head and vocalize a few choice words about the cowards they are. Again it's important for me to introduce new animals, But it's equally important for me to expose the public to my knowledge. Especially when good, good people are being slanderized every day. The dog's stories are sad, But what the heaters are doing is even sadder, Because this is our team of rescuers that they're cutting with a 1000 papercuts everyday, and for what. I don't work at the shelter, BUT I have two great examples of the medical teams willingness to save animals in just the last 3 months. Animals they had multiple reasons to euthanize upon intake. Remember Mercy and now Adira.October 29, 2024, 12:21 am

Story
Bonnie was born around Valentine's Day of this year and is approximately 10 months old. She is a pitbull/ shepherd mix. Her parents weigh in at about 60 lbs each. Bonnie is a playful girl who is still a bit startled by loud noises. She will need a bit of time to gain trust and be the carefree, playful girl we know she's meant to be. The ideal home for Bonnie would be free from small children and cats. Bonnie was never abused or neglected, but when she left her original home, she realized that there was a big, loud, sometimes scary world out there that she had not experienced. She's had many firsts with us (car rides, trips to the vet, walking on a leash, and getting to know new canines/humans). Can you see this darling being part of your forever family?

Story
Loving German Shepherd Mix Seeking His Forever Home Bruno is a 9-year-old German Shepherd mix (~70 lbs), neutered, healthy, and up to date on shots. He's affectionate, loyal, gentle, and great with kids, cats, and other dogs. He's the kind of dog who just wants to be near his people—he'll follow you around, sit beside you while you work, and greet you like you're the best thing ever every time you come home. He walks beautifully on a leash and loves the dog park, hikes, and swimming. Why rehoming: Bruno spends too much time alone now. I work long hours (8am-6pm+) and my daughter has school and activities, so some days no one is home for 10+ hours. Bruno thrives on companionship—he deserves someone who can be there for him. I'm also downsizing to a smaller place. Ideal home: Someone who works from home, is retired, or a family with people around during the day. This decision comes from love. Please reach out if you think you might be Bruno's person.

Story
Rainey is a German Shepherd puppy with the sweetest soul and a wonderfully calm demeanor. He’s gentle, affectionate, and eager to please his people—an old soul wrapped up in a puppy’s body. Rainey is already potty trained and crate trained, and he’s just beginning to learn his basic commands. Unlike many puppies his age, he is not mouthy and shows an impressive level of self-control and softness in how he interacts with people. One of Rainey’s most endearing traits is his love for snuggles. If you pick him up, he’ll gently wrap his front paws around your neck and rest his head on your shoulder, as if he was made just for cuddling. When it’s time to slow down, Rainey is perfectly content to settle in with you. Late afternoon nap? He’s in. Quiet downtime? He’ll happily lay by your side and relax right along with you. Rainey also has a playful side and loves a good game of “cat and mouse,” especially with his sister. He’ll chase her around for a toy, steal it, and then proudly invite her to chase him back. It’s all good-natured fun and part of his charming personality. Importantly, Rainey does not show a prey drive, and because of this, we believe he is cat workable with proper introductions. He also absolutely adores the little kids in the neighborhood, greeting them with calm curiosity and gentle affection. Rainey is the perfect blend of playful puppy, calm companion, and loving cuddle buddy—a thoughtful, easygoing boy who is ready to grow into an incredible family dog. ##2636297##

Story
She is a very sweet loving dog. She is dominant and not safe around small animals. We rescued her a few years ago not knowing her background or behaviors. Unfortunately the foundation we got her from was not aware of her restrictions with small dogs. She is extremely healthy. To be clear, I love this dog so much but I have small dogs and she cannot be around them any longer. We have had her about 4 years, she has been to training and is such a sweet wonderful girl. Shes also crate trained and has a very nice crate. She eats Farmers Dog and goes to the vet regularly for checkups.
