We found her at the shelter. We were told she has been in there too long already so we adopted her in fears of them having to put her down. She is a 1 year old pup. We're looking for her to go to a loving family who is also active as she enjoys walks and play time. She is also crate trained.

Story
Riley is a 1 year old, loving soul with a big heart and ears to match! He loves kisses, outdoor walks and going to the lake. His favorite thing is being your cuddly buddy and sleeping in your lap. He listens very well to what you say and he already knows various commands some are in german since thats what I use for my shepherds: leave it, seetz (sit), Plots (lay down), oust (drop it), and wait while you pour his food then free! to go ahead and start eating. When it is bed time you just tell him "riley kennel" and he puts himself right to bed in his crate. He loves playing fetch and chewing bones like any other happy boy. One of his quirky habits is making it his mission to rid your yard or house of flies when he's bored with his ninja like skills! This boy is truly a gem that I would have kept for myself if I had the room. Like I said he is a gentle soul and he needs a kind loving owner to look after him and give him the love he needs.

Story
"Ace" is an approx 60-lb, 1-yo intact male German Shepherd mix who is very sweet and friendly. In the short time I have known Ace he has been accepting of all people. He did well with kids. Ace is good with other dogs and did well with kittens. Ace is kennel trained. Ace was found as a stray in Stockton in Nov 2025, yet he looked clean and was very well mannered--making me believe that a family had recently cared for him. Sadly, no one has come to claim him and he is now at the Stockton animal shelter as of Jan 15th. I did not want to take him to the shelter, I fear he may not make it out of the shelter because they are so full, so I am desperately trying to find him a home. Adoption fee is determined by the shelter, and he will be neutered upon adoption. Please contact Michelle Richmond at 760-576-6201 or richmichelle25@gmail.com

Story
Benji was found in a parking lot at 2mo old. He was in a foster home for 4 months & I took over care 1/02/2026. He was born 6/2025. He is very sweet & kind. When he wants to play he puts up w/ my little dogs biting him and sometimes biting him a little too hard. He never growls or bites back. He simply walks away. He easily switches between rest & action; responds to sounds as he keeps a watchful eye on everyone in my home; always tuned in & ready to help; affectionate, confident. He doesn’t seem to be a Pack Leader. He is a good follower, but not a caboose. Requires consistent training, socialization, mental/physical stimulation; doesn’t like being alone for extended periods of time; needs regular exercise/play. REALLY loves to chew up socks! At the vet he loves everyone -- he did NOT like the children outside of the office. He wants to play w/ the cat, too. Cat NOT having it!
