Story
Sadie is a loyal ~2yo spayed 55 pound active small German Shepherd. She loves lots of affection, long walks and playing with her toys. She is a moderate energy dog, playful and active but also settles down nicely indoors by your feet. She is housetrained and sleeps in a crate.  She will need an active home that will keep her mentally and physically busy. She will chase cats that run. She needs proper intro to new dogs.   She is undersocialized and also needs continued training and structure. She needs continued socializing with other dogs and people (reactive in public). She would do best in a home with German Shepherd experience, as she can be insecure and also defensive/protective. She would do best with a single woman, or will need experienced handlers in a multi ADULT home (NO CHILDREN) who will be willing to commit to working on her socialization. NO APARTMENTS!

Story
Duchess is a sweet, affectionate, silly 6 year old girl who is always thrilled to see you when you get home, yet doesn’t make a fuss when you leave. She gets super excited to go on walks, but she also loves lounging around the house. She gets along with other dogs as long as they are “nice”, as she can get intimated by rowdy dogs. She is very treat motivated and enjoys getting trained! She knows how to “sit” and she is currently working on her loose leash walking skills. She was rescued from a San Jose shelter, where she was dropped off after being found tied to a fence. She may have had a difficult life before her rescue but Duchess is, at heart, a very affectionate dog. However, she is also an anxious dog and it takes time before she is comfortable with new people. While she is head over heels in love with her foster mom, she is, for unknown reasons, still very fearful of other members of the household even after several months of living with them. We are hoping that Duchess will find a forever family who is patient and willing to invest the time into gaining her trust and ultimately reaping the benefits of her undying love!

Story
Meet Haven. Looking for a friend for life? Go no further, Haven waits for you. Haven is a beautiful soul who was rescued from the euthanasia list at a crowded shelter — and from the moment he stepped into safety, he’s been showing everyone just how special he is. He is incredibly intelligent and eager to learn, thriving with gentle guidance. Haven already knows “lay down,” is mastering “sit,” and truly enjoys engaging his mind. He loves puzzle toys, learning new things, and having little “jobs” that make him feel proud. As he settles in, Haven blossoms into a deeply affectionate companion. He loves being near his person, happily hanging out in the office while you work, and he has recently discovered just how wonderful belly rubs and back scratches can be — and now he happily leans in for more. There’s something very tender about the way he connects once he feels safe. Haven is a balanced, joyful boy who loves to move and play, he was volunteers favorite at the shelter, for his gentle nature. Chasing squeaky balls, zooming around the backyard, and sharing outdoor time with his person are some of his favorite things. He brings a bright, happy energy to every day. He is crate trained and goes in calmly when asked. He’s comfortable with handling, rides nicely in the car, and politely waits before hopping out. He continues to advance his leash skills and is progressing beautifully with consistency. Haven is sweet, bright, and full of heart — a loyal, affectionate, playful companion who is ready to share his love and joyful spirit with a forever family.

Story
Dixie is a sweet girl that wags with her body whenever she sees you. Her bright eyes look up at you as if you are the best thing in the whole wide world. When she fist meets you she will be kind of shy, but, if given the opportunity, she will warm up to you quickly and give you kisses if you let her. She is roughly a year old and 60 pounds. She is a German Shepard (49%), Boxer (35%) and Australian Cattle Dog (16%) mix that LOVES to play fetch with her ball. Dixie likes to lie in the sun and have her ears pet while she looks at you adoringly. Dixie is very good with other dogs and loves children. She has not been tested with cats. Dixie prefers to walk to her destinations as the car can make her sick. In an ideal home, her human would go on long walks or runs with her or be in the backyard playing fetch. Dixie is the sibling of Max and was saved from a high kill shelter. She would be a good only dog, can be adopted with her brother or with proper introductions could be a companion for a current dog. She is spayed and up to date on all of her shots. She has been in foster care for 3 months. She is ready for her furever home and her person she can adore. Adopt her today and experience the love she has to give! 🐾❤️ Please familiarize yourself with our Adoption Process: https://angelsfurryfriends.org/adoption-process/ If interested to schedule an Appointment to meet, please fill out Adoption application: https://angelsfurryfriends.org/adoption-application-dogs/ We are a small, all Volunteer Foster Based Rescue Group, we do not have a Shelter Location.
