Story
Meet Primrose Primrose is as lovely as her name. This sweet, affectionate girl is people-friendly and loves soaking up attention from her humans. She’s the kind of dog who happily leans in for pets and makes fast friends wherever she goes.Primrose is treat-motivated and takes treats very gently, making her a joy to work with. On leash, she may start out a bit strong, but once she’s had some time out of her kennel, she settles in and does much better. A little patience and consistency will go a long way with her.She also has a wonderfully silly side—one of her favorite pastimes is chasing her own tail, which is guaranteed to make you smile.At the shelter, Primrose was previously kenneled with another dog, but due to the stress of the environment, she isn’t able to be paired with other dogs right now. Because of this, she may do best as a solo pet in the home while she decompresses and gets comfortable in a calmer setting.Primrose is ready for a loving home where she can relax, feel secure, and let her sweet personality shine. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion with a playful streak, Primrose might just be your perfect match.

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?

Brisket

Dutch Shepherd Mutt

Female, Adult

Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Not good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
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.

Story
Meet Brian, the brindle Dutch Shepherd who proves not all Brians are the same! Unlike the Simpsons version, this boy is all wiggles, grins, and delightful mischief. He’s the fun-loving, slightly naughty sidekick you didn’t know you needed.Brian is that perfect combo of handsome, intelligent, and loyal—a dog who learns quickly, bonds deeply, and keeps life interesting. He’s a medium-sized adventurer who prefers exploring the world over pursuing any musical ambitions. (Trust us… no rockstar career in this guy’s future. He’s way too busy having fun.)Whether he’s showing off his happy dance, trotting proudly at your side, or flashing you one of his trademark smiles, Brian brings a spark of joy everywhere he goes. He’s ready for hikes, yard play, and all the excitement you can throw his way.If you’re looking for a dog who’s equal parts brainy, bouncy, and bursting with charm, Brian is your guy. Come meet him and let the adventures begin!Brian has participated in shelter playgroups and may enjoy a compatible canine friend in his new home.  He`s a helper dog in playgroups and loves to play, so he`s brought lots of dogs out of their shell by convincing them to play with him.  He`s also sharing his shelter suite with a friend he met at the shelter.   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!
