Hi, I wanted to give up my dog for adoption because both my wife and I have recent had a busier schedule. We wanted to find a home for her where she can receive the attention she deserves. She is a loving dog, super friendly, gets along with all dogs and people she meets and just wants to be loved. Looking for a good home for her. She is on one prescription, and joint treatment but otherwise she's a healthy girl.

Story

Please meet Apollo! Apollo is a sweet, energetic, loving shepherd. He loves walking and snuggling up with you as if he's a lap dog! Unfortunately, with work and living in an apartment, we no longer have the time and space to give him the attention and care he needs and deserves. He is reactive to dogs he does not know, consisting of heavy barking and leash pulling, but he does well with training mechanisms to lessen those behaviors as long as you keep consistent, and I am sure it will continue to lessen! We are looking for Apollo a new home in the next two weeks with a patient and loving provider.

Story

I am in a foster home and not at the shelter. If you are interested in adopting, submit an adoption questionnaire by email. Learn more hereHello from Milo! Milo is a gentle and loving soul. This sweet boy may have had a rough start in life, but he has made tremendous strides in improving his social abilities in his foster home. He was once fearful and nervous around new situations and people. Now, he eagerly welcomes guests to his home, wagging his tail in excitement for some tasty treats. He's even conquered his fear of passing strangers on the leash! (He still may have some stranger danger but it's getting better every day.) Fosters have reported that Milo is a playful and healthy pup who loves nothing more than being outside, playing, and exploring with his furry foster doggie siblings. He's full of affection and adores being petted, and his favorite place to cuddle up is right next to his beloved humans on the bed. His foster family calls him "Sunny Boy"! Milo is a good sleeper, sleeping soundly through the night, too. Milo will thrive in a calm and quiet household and environment, with routine and consistency so that he can continue to feel safe. He has learned to be a more confident dog! While Milo's past makes it hard to predict how he'll react around children or cats, one thing is for sure: this dog is full of love and loyalty, waiting for the perfect family to give him the love and care he deserves. With his good nature and willingness to learn, Milo is ready to be a faithful companion for life. Could you be the one to give him the loving home he's been waiting for? Milo is about 3 years old and weighs 59 lbs. He would prefer a quiet and adult-only home at this time. Click HERE to learn how to adopt Milo.&#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143   April 19, 2024, 6:05 pm

Story

It takes a little while to get to know Georgia – she is reserved and has lived a good part of life that we know nothing about. But if you take the time, she’s totally worth it! She is very sweet with people, but not so fond of other dogs. She’d like to be your only dog in the home. Like any respectable shepherd, Georgia is vigilant about her surroundings, and will alert you to any perceived threats. She’s also very smart and responsive to her handler. She would really like room to run, too; she’s not too crazy about confinement in a kennel. A home with previous shepherd experience would be fantastic for her. Come see if she’s your perfect fit.

Details

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

This is Daku, a very friendly, outgoing dog. He loves people and attention. He’s also great to walk, though he is very strong, so his new family should be prepared to handle that. But given his size and strength, he is very well behaved and seems friendly toward other dogs. Daku will need a secure yard and room to run around a little – he has lots of energy to burn. He’d love to be a running buddy. He is also very attentive and appears to know some basic commands. He’s not sure what to do with toys, though… Daku also seems to be housetrained and ready to get out of the shelter and into his new home!

Stella

Female, Adult

Kensington, CA

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Say hello to Stella.  We are searching for a very special family for her because she is a special dog.  She looks lile a shepherd mix and we think she is because of her face and body, and she weighs about 50 lbs, but she has short legs carrying her around which is why we need that special family because at only 5 years old, she has some arthritis in her back legs.  It means that if you are looking for a hiking buddy, she is not the one for you.  If you want a dog that will give you lots of love and smiles and be absolutely happy to be with you while you garden, or paint or read a book, or take a short and leisurely stroll around the block, she could be just what you are looking.  This dog wants to be with you, and love you.  Don't we all need a happy face to greet us when we come home?  She could be your steadfast companion.   Stella is also good with cats.  Fine with strangers.  Not a puppy, she is well behaved and easy going with a laid back attitude.  Other than the arthritis, she is in very good shape but you should know that she has had a lot of babies and you can tell by looking at her.  We believe she was used for breeding and then discarded.  Remember, looks fade but personality lasts a lifetime. If you are looking for a really sweet dog who will appreciate you saving her, Stella could be your girl.  There are videos of her on the website at 4dogsfarmrescue.org/Available-dogs.html so please scroll until you see her name and you can watch them there.   Adoption applications are available on the website too - click on the ADOPT at the top of the page or click here - 4dogsfarmrescue.org/Adoption.html   Stella will come to you spayed and fully vetted. ADOPTION FEE:  $475.00 ##1699705##

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Declawed, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

I am in a foster home and not at the shelter. If you are interested in adopting, submit an adoption questionnaire by email. Learn more hereIntroducing Jolene! At first glance, Jolene may appear shy and timid, but with a little coaxing and sweet talk, her curiosity blossoms, and she eagerly approaches. Jolene has great leash manners. Once she knows you, she prances gracefully next to you with light, happy skips in her steps which will sure to bring a smile to your face. Off-leash, she’s an absolute sweetheart, gravitating towards her handler to nuzzle into their lap or delicately placing her paws for a friendly sniff. Around 2 years old, Jolene embodies gentleness, taking treats with the utmost care and readily responds to the ‘sit’ cue. A sweet and sensitive young adult, she enjoys just being next to you and thrives on positive reinforcement training, especially when tasty treats are involved. While she may demonstrate submissive tendencies, her potential shines brightly with a bit of guidance and encouragement. Prospective adopters who invest in positive reinforcement obedience training will discover a loyal companion in Jolene. Although older children may be suitable companions, her ideal home would be with patient individuals eager to nurture her growth and confidence. Jolene has met some other dogs at the shelter and while she's polite, she's still navigating the canine social scene. We believe she's still learning the ropes of doggie interactions and could benefit from the company of a confident and social dog in the home. Are you ready to welcome Jolene into your heart and home? Jolene is in foster - follow her adventures on IG @Mountainfosters April 19, 2024, 6:05 pm

Story

I am in a foster home and not at the shelter. If you are interested in adopting, submit an adoption questionnaire by email. Learn more hereMeet Tri Tip! About Me: I'm Tri Tip, the resilient tripod Malinois with a heart of gold! I had a rough start, coming in as a stray after being hit by a car in East Oakland. But thanks to the love and care of my foster parents, I've bounced back stronger than ever. Energetic & Smart: Despite losing a leg, I'm still as energetic and intelligent as they come!  I thrive on mental stimulation and love showing off my problem-solving skills. I love exploring the great outdoors and learning new tricks. Sit, down, paw—you name it, I've mastered it! Just watch out, I 'm a crate escape artist, and too much time confined makes me distressed. Affectionate & Loving: Despite my rocky start, I'm a friendly and affectionate pup through and through. I adore cuddles and will happily lay my head on your lap for endless pets and scratches. Ideal Home: I'm searching for a forever home with someone who understands my journey and can provide the love and care I deserve. An active owner who can keep up with my energy and shower me with affection would be paw-fect!  While I might not suit young kids, older children might be okay. I can be mouthy when excited, so patience and training are crucial. And don't forget, I might need a little extra help with crate time. Plus, I'll need just as much mental enrichment as physical exercise to keep my clever mind sharp and engaged. Ready to open your heart and home to a pup who's been through it all?
