Story
Hi. I'm Boone! I'm a sweet and gentle 3-year-old boy with the cutest face - that's what everyone that meets me tells me anyway!!  First and foremost and before I tell you all the good stuff  - -  I would love to have a confident dog buddy to live with or one that visits alot. I simply love other dogs and it will help me acclimate to my new home and people. OK, so here's my story:  I was abandoned with my brother and ended up in a scary shelter. My brother was much braver than me and had no trouble meeting people and he got adopted. I was really scared when he left me alone and I just wanted to hide. Then some kind people got me out of there just in time and I've been learning to be brave; and doing a really good job of it, I might add. I like people once I get to know them and it doesn't take me long at all, maybe 3-4 days then we're buds. Once we're buds, I'm affectionate and playful and enjoy the attention. I have never bitten or even threatened to bite anyone, that would not be cool. I even did pretty well with the vet recently as long as my trusted people were with me and telling me it was ok. You see, I'm just a little scared something bad will happen but once I know it won't, I relax. I'm not a clingy boy but I like being around my family. I have not met any cats but I kind of think I would be a little scared of the hissy, spitty things (I've barked at a few......). I would love to find a home that’s calm and quiet, with not too many strangers going in and out. If new people do come over, I'd need a safe space where I can relax. I won’t cause any trouble—I'm just a little nervous around unfamiliar faces and need some time to feel safe.The perfect family for me would be quiet, patient, and understanding, and would give me the time I need to adjust - oh yeah, they would also have another nice doggo to be my friend and confidant (in case you missed that above). I'm not much of a barker, and I’m not destructive either. I may still be a bit scared of some things in the big world right now, but with the right family, I know I can find my way. My foster mom has been taking me out-and-about on walks with other dogs and I think I really enjoy it!!  I walk nice on leash, too. If you’re looking for a sweet, gentle guy like me and prefer quiet instead of chaos, maybe we will be a match. I know it won't be easy at first but I will try really hard to be the bestest boy I can.  If you want to give me a chance I will be waiting in Lower Lake in my foster home (or I might be able to meet you in Santa Rosa).  You like this dog...now what?

If you have already completed the application and are approved, please phone or text your adoption counselor and we will set up a meeting.  Not sure, foster first and adopt later!

Story
Hi, I’m Sasha. I’m a very soft and sweet girl who looks like a mini German Shepherd — I’m about 55 pounds right now and still young, but I won’t be a big dog. I’m that “just right” size a lot of people love. I’m a little shy when I first meet new people or go into new places. I get anxious and timid at first, but I really, really try my best. Once I feel safe, my playful side comes out and I start seeking engagement and connection. I love treats (especially soft jerky!), but my foster doesn’t lure me with them — they want me to approach on my own, and I’m learning to do that more and more. I allow handling just fine, and my foster was even able to pick me up and place me gently into the car. In the car, I’m very quiet. I just sit up, look around, and take everything in. I love playful dogs! I’ve been great with every dog I’ve met so far, especially the tiny ones who like to bounce around with me. Sometimes I can be a little too forward because I’m still learning how to “speak dog,” but when another dog tells me to chill, I listen right away. I keep my kennel clean, though no one is quite sure if I’ve ever lived inside a home before. I’d do best with a foster who’s home a lot, in a calm, quieter environment, with another nice, confident dog to show me how everything works. I shouldn’t be off-leash for quite a while unless I’m in a fully enclosed space and dragging a long line — safety is really important for me right now. I do come back for treats, though! I’m gently playful with toys and the ball, but I’m still figuring out how those games work. What I do know is that I’ll bond deeply with my person. I’m learning that the world isn’t as scary as it felt before, and I’m already walking nicely on leash and following my fosters wherever they go. I’ve had a rough start with humans, but I’m growing, learning, and getting braver every day. With patience, kindness, and slow, confident socializing, I’m going to become the sweetest, most loyal companion — maybe yours.

Story
Hi! I’m Rylie — a sweet, soulful senior German Shepherd girl with a gentle heart and a whole lot of love to give. I’m calm, easygoing, and very well-mannered around the house. I adore people of all kinds and am friendly and polite with everyone I meet. When guests come over, I’ll happily say hello with a quick sniff and then, when asked, head off to my comfy spot to relax like the good girl I am. I’ve spent lots of time around kids and I’m wonderfully gentle with them. I enjoy playing tug (I’ve still got some strength!), but my overall vibe is mellow and sweet. Walks are one of my favorite things—I stroll nicely on a martingale collar, don’t pull, and stay cool and confident even when other dogs bark or act silly. I just keep walking like the classy lady I am. While I’m fine around other dogs, I’d really love to be the only dog in my forever home so I can soak up all the love and attention. I’m not a fan of cats—I get a bit too interested—and squirrels definitely catch my eye. (A girl’s allowed a few passions, right?) I once met a goat and was curious, but I moved on easily like a pro. I love chew toys, especially anything I can tug with you, and I adore car rides. If there’s an adventure to be had or a place to explore, I’m all in—then I’m just as happy to come home and relax by your side. What I want most now is a forever home where I can spend my golden years being cherished, spoiled, and loved like the pampered princess I truly am. If you’re looking for a loyal, gentle companion with a heart of gold, I just might be your girl.

Story
Hi! I’m INDY — a striking shepherd mix and basically a one-dog celebration of freedom, spirit, and fun. I’m about 5 years old, about 75 pounds, and super smart. I’ve got big dreams of adventures, wide-open play yards, and maybe even a mountain trail or two.  I’ve got that classic German Shepherd vibe: part serious, perimeter-watching shepherd, part vocal, goofy, up-for-anything shepherd. I’m clever, a little sassy, and always ready to keep life interesting. I do best with an active person or family who enjoys movement, mental games, and a dog who keeps them laughing. And here’s the exciting part — my new foster dad is into all the fun stuff I’ve been dreaming about, and I’m so looking forward to being his adventure pal. Trails, outings, exploring the world together? Yes please. If you’re looking for a loyal, entertaining companion who’s ready to live life to the fullest, I’m ready to meet you. Forever sounds pretty great to me.
