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
We initially got Bella at 4 months old from Craigslist. She is a 5 y/o German Shepherd/Husky with a black & white coat. She’s about 55 lbs, fully vaccinated, and spayed. She’s currently living with my mother-in-law in Pittsburg, but due to an unexpected eviction, she can no longer take care of her. Bella had several months of professional dog training when she was 3 years old. She’s very smart and knows her commands well. However, since living with my MOL who is elderly and unable to keep up with training, she hasn’t had consistent reinforcement. She does not do well with new people or dogs right away and needs time to warm up. She can be reactive, and because of this, she has unfortunately been turned away from shelters due to her temperament. That said, we truly believe that with the right person someone experience with larger, reactive dogs who understands boundaries and is willing to go slow Bella will do great. Once she bonds with you, she is incredibly loyal and loving.

Spotty was born from two German shepherd parents. I’ve had her since she was a puppy. She is often neglected and has spent her whole life outside. Until recently she is brought inside she spends time inside and outside now however she’s still not receiving the attention she deserves. She just wants love and affection. She is very sweet and loves to cuddle and play. She is potty trained and does well in a crate. She loves stuffed animals and loves being pet. She’s very smart and can bring a smile to anyone’s face. She’s 7 years old so adult/senior I want to give her a better chance with someone who will love her and give her as much attention and affection as possible.

Dre

German Shepherd Dog

Male, 4 yrs 2 mos
Concord, CA
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Dre’s favorite place in the world is right by your side. Whatever you’re doing, that’s exactly where he wants to be — because his greatest joy is simply being with his person. He isn’t a fan of being alone, though he does kennel when needed and settles quietly through the night. He just prefers company, and honestly… who wouldn’t? Dre is still discovering what it means to be a dog. Toys are new to him, and he hasn’t found a favorite yet — likely because no one ever showed him before. What he does know is how to be gentle, attentive, and deeply connected. On leash, he’s respectful and thoughtful, stopping to check in with the slightest cue. He’s calm around other dogs, even when they aren’t, and redirects easily with guidance and kindness. He’s house-trained, crate-trained, rides calmly in the car, and is learning his basics quickly. Dre thrives on consistency and will do best in a stable home where he can feel secure and loved. Give him that, and he’ll give you unwavering loyalty, quiet devotion, and a best friend who never wants to leave your side. ##2619917##

Story
Mac (formerly Macaroni) is the kind of dog who quietly makes everything feel better just by being near you. He has a beautiful balance of playful energy and calm companionship. He loves romping with other dogs, joining his people for walks or outings, and then settling in for relaxed couch time. He’s happy to be included without needing constant activity — easy to live with and eager to share your day. Mac is deeply affectionate and shows it by leaning into his person for love and attention. His long, super-soft coat makes those moments especially hard to resist. He’s confident, curious, and genuinely enjoys people — the type of dog who makes friends wherever he goes. He’s dog-social and enjoys polite play, but would also thrive as an only dog with someone committed to regular exercise, continued training, and connection. Mac is house-broken, crate trained, and settles well after play. He checks in with his people, then comfortably does his own thing. Coming from the shelter, Mac has shown himself to be resilient, adaptable, and full of heart. He’s the kind of companion who will happily join you on life’s adventures and then lean into you at the end of the day, reminding you that you chose each other. Mac is neutered, up to date on vaccines, and ready for his forever home. ##2636302##

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
