Story
Hi, my name is Scooby! I’m a 1 year and 3 month old German Shepherd–Pit Bull mix with a loyal, loving personality. I’ve been in my foster home for almost a week and have already shown what a great companion I am.Scooby has a great balance of energy, he enjoys walks and playtime, then settles into calm relaxation. He gets the occasional zoomies, loves chewing on his bone, and is an amazing cuddle bug. He is incredibly loyal and greets his people with pure joy every morning and when they come home, complete with kisses and cuddles.Scooby sleeps either in bed with his people or comfortably in his crate. He is fully potty trained and does well in his kennel, needing only a little encouragement to go in.He is learning leash manners, knows how to sit, and is very food motivated. He takes treats gently when told to “be gentle,” making training easy and enjoyable. Scooby also does great on car rides. His favorite things include bones, treats, and being with his people.Scooby has not yet been introduced to children or other animals. He would thrive in a home with a big yard, regular walks, and people who enjoy being active and present with him.Scooby is a sweet, loyal boy ready to bring love, joy, and cuddles to his forever home.

Story
Meet Darla – 3-Year-Old Sweetheart Looking for Her Forever Home Sweet Darla has been through a lot, but her gentle heart still shines. She was recently returned by her last family, who sadly let her ear infection go untreated — now she’s battling a painful infection that will need medical care. Even through all of this, Darla remains as loving and resilient as ever.When Darla first came to the shelter, she was terrified of the world. But once she experienced the comfort of a home, her true personality bloomed! She became a loyal, affectionate, people-pleasing girl who just wants to do everything right. She’s already potty trained, learned to use the doggy door, and sleeps peacefully in her crate at night.Darla is a smart cookie who picks up new commands quickly and thrives on treats and praise. She wants nothing more than to be your “good girl.” If she ever senses she’s done something wrong, she’ll roll over for belly rubs and forgiveness — her sweetness is endless.Her favorite thing in the world? Cuddling on the couch and soaking up love. While she’s still learning how to navigate new experiences and meet new people or dogs, with slow, gentle introductions she warms up beautifully — and once she does, she’s all kisses and playtime!Darla deserves a loving family who will help her heal and finally give her the care she’s always needed. Could that be you?

Hi! I`m Scooby! I am a lovable young guy looking for a loving home! I love everything! I love people, I love going on walks, I love playing fetch with a ball, I love other dogs, and I love cats! Cat`s don`t seem to love me back, I think its because I like to play tag- I may do best in a home without kitties! When it comes to dogs I have loved all the dogs I have met, I like to play and I walk well on leash with other dogs. My perfect home would involve lots of pets and lots of fetch! If you`re looking for a playful, lovable young guy- adopt me!Scooby`s adoption fee has been paid for with a donation from Tim Pantle

Story
Hello! My ex-wife and I adopted Brisket from Front Street Animal Shelter in Sacramento when she was under a year old. She's 5 now and the shelter believes she's a Dutch Shepherd mix. She's fully house-trained, has never had an accident, and doesn’t destroy anything except her toys. Brisket is generally good with people but can get anxious in loud environments (parties, live music, construction) and has nipped at someone before. She barks at outside noises or deliveries with a deep bark, but stops after a few seconds. At home, she’s okay with other dogs as long as they don’t bother her; if they do, she’ll growl or slap them. She also has some leash aggression when approaching other dogs during walks. Brisket is very loving but has always been a bit fearful, though she’s improved over time. She’d likely do best in a calm home with someone who enjoys playing and cuddling.
