Story

Freddie is a mature gentleman that some might call a silver fox. He still has pep in his step, and you can tell he was once a big, strong guy. Time has been good to him - he’s still dashing with his powdered-sugar face, soft sweet eyes, and charming personality. Freddy is potty trained, very treat motivated, and would probably learn just about anything with enough treats in hand. He already knows sit and shake with both paws, is great on leash, and is a very attentive listener. He would be perfect for someone looking for a dog to enjoy relaxed strolls with and then spend the rest of the day lounging by their side. And don’t worry, Freddy’s hips still have some moves - give him a few butt scratches and he’ll happily show off his dance skills. This cute guy recently met some social dogs at our shelter and did fine. He wasn’t ready to play, but we hope that as he gets more experience in our shelter playgroups, he’ll be ready to show us his silly side with other dogs. Looking for a buddy for your dog? Bring him/her to the shelter for a meet and greet and see if we`re a match! Check out his playgroup video here:To meet me, visit the Bradshaw Animal Shelter Tuesday-Sunday, Noon - 5:00 pm, Wednesdays, Noon - 6:00 pm. All adoptions are on a first-come, first-served basis. To help expedite the meet and greet process, please make note of my Animal ID number, and those of other dogs you might be interested in meeting. Be sure to bring your ID with you, too. We are located at 3839 Bradshaw Road, Sacramento. I look forward to getting to know you!

Adoption events is the best way to meet several of our dogs at once. ntroducing Saben, a young male German Shepherd who came from a local shelter. He is estimated to be about a year old, bursting with energy and a playful spirit! He’s always ready for an adventure, whether it’s chasing toys in the yard or exploring new sights and sounds. This lively guy is nicely balanced – while he is engaging and fun, he also has an OFF switch and is often found napping under his foster mom’s feet while she works. Thanks to his clever use of the dog door, he comes and goes as he pleases, and at the end of the day, he settles comfortably in his crate for a good night’s sleep (although he does not appreciate being confined during the daytime hours). He rides nicely in the car, and his leash manners improve daily. He would love a home with another dog that appreciates his exuberance, and a home with a swimming pool/jacuzzi would thrill him to no end! This guy LOVES the water! While he’s already a friendly companion, he’ll benefit from ongoing socialization and training to help him shine even brighter. With the right guidance, this energetic pup is sure to become a wonderful addition to any loving home.No cats or small critters Level 2 Understanding Dog Levels Please be sure you understand what a dog of this Level requires.

All of our dogs are in foster homes and not in one single kennel location. Adoption events is the best way to meet several of our dogs at once. Shippo is a 5 year old white male Shepherd. His previous owner suffered from illness and was in hospice care when he surrendered him to the shelter. He may not have been able to care for him well as he only weighed 48 lbs on intake and was missing hair and had hot spots from flea allergies. He also had an eye infection. We have taken him to the vet for his eye and itching. He’ll start getting medicated baths too. He weighed 64 lbs when he left the shelter in mid-January but lost a few pounds and is now 62.3 at a recent vet visit and is still so thin his ribs show easily.This boy loves food but will help himself to anything on the counter if you let him. He’s a happy boy but jumps a lot when excited and will not be good in a home with anyone unsteady on their feet or with small children until this is resolved. He does know a few basic commands and will shake hands with either paw.Shippo met the resident cat and it did not go well so we are saying no cats or small critters for this boy. He is sharing his foster home with alum Belle and current foster boy Danny and does well with them. He is supervised when eating as it isn’t certain if he’d try to protect his food bowl.Shippo needs a home with someone willing to commit to furthering his training and providing him plenty of exercise to burn off some of his energy.Level 2 Understanding Dog Levels Please be sure you understand what a dog of this Level requires.
