Story
Franco is such a sweet and loving puppy! This 6 month old boy is going to grow a bit more, but is currently 38 pounds. He has a gentle disposition and loves to play too! Franco is awesome with other dogs and loves to play chase. Franco is ready to be your new best friend. Come and meet him in person during our adoption hours Tues-Sat from 1-4pm.Franco had a field trip with one of our volunteers and this is what she had to say about Franco:`I had such a great time with Franco today, and there were so many people who wanted to pet him. He was so well behaved for a young pup. He is cautious in new surroundings, but doesn`t pull or bolt even with loud noises that concerned him. He would just stop and look around, then we would move on. He loves people and other dogs. He was most animated and happy when he met a female yellow lab who I was told also loved other dogs. We let them get to know each other, and then Franco wanted to play, which we didn`t allow because of the possibility of tangled leashes. When I brought him back to the shelter, we played ball in the outside yard which he loved. He allowed me to take the ball out of his mouth without growling which is a great sign. When the garbage truck came, he didn`t bark but he ran back and sat at my side. I honestly couldn`t tell if he was guarding me or he wanted me to guard him, but it was adorable.`

Hello I am Rosie! I really love chasing balls and playing with toys. Do you want to play with me? Are you looking for a running companion? Look no further-I'm your dog! I would prefer to live in a house without children under the age of 10. I would benefit from training classes and the folks at The SPCA have given me a great head start! I graduated from The SPCA's highly regarded Ruff Start Program which pairs shelter dogs in need of extra care or attention with inmates at Salinas Valley State Prison for training and love. I am eligible for a Doggy Day Out, apply here https://forms.gle/TgRYMcxyKbxwQm5M7 to take me on an outing! Primary Color: Tan Secondary Color: Black Weight: 56 Age: 1yrs 4mths 2wks

Story
Looks like: German Shepherd Female, 9 years old (estimated), 75 pounds Here's a profile in courage: sweet and affectionate Rosa. She came to us after having walked many a rough road with weak hind legs, a painful mouth, and abdominal masses. Two operations later, she's feeling much better and healing beautifully. But has any of the strife she's faced dampened her spirit? Not all all! She's a snuggle bug through and through. Rosa loves to cuddle up and be close to her people; if you stop petting she might remind you to resume by giving you a gentle tap with her paw. Having been malnourished, she appreciates every meal and sometimes forgets that she doesn't need to counter surf anymore. Good on a leash, great in a car, house-broken, and non-reactive around other dogs, Rosa has good manners, but might benefit from a bit more training. Rosa has done well around calm children, but we think she'd do best in a household with no other pets and lots of human hands who'd be happy to reciprocate her love. She prefers to be with her people most of the time. This senior girl came to us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services after being found as a stray.

Story
Looks like: German Shepherd Mix Male, 7 years old (estimated), 76 pounds Ripley is ready to play ball! This handsome senior boy still has lots of energy and his job is "ball." Although his lumps and bumps and bad coat show that he has not had an easy life, Ripley is an easy-going guy who gets along with dogs of all sizes. This gorgeous guy hasn't been socialized for much of his life, so he can be a bit overly excited when seeing new friends and can't wait to meet them! He's working on some training regarding this and will need to continue working on it in his next home. Although dog friends and human friends are great, this guy lives for his ball time and is always ready for a game of fetch. Ripley was found as a stray and taken to Hitchcock Road Animal Services.
