Story

It is with great sadness that we must seek a new, dedicated home for our wonderful dog, Bear. Once Bear bonds with you, he is an incredibly loyal, funny, and profoundly cuddly companion who brings immense joy to the people he loves. He is truly a great dog who is a pleasure to have around the house. Bear has demonstrated barking behavior around strangers and anxiety when unfamiliar people enter our home or personal space. Because our household frequently has people we don't know coming and going, we are unable to give him the low-traffic, consistent structure he needs. We are looking for a home that can provide a calm, low-visitor environment. We are devastated to see him go and believe that with the right commitment to management and ongoing training, Bear will be the most loyal and loving best friend anyone could ask for.

Story

She was a gift from a friend to my son when she was a baby. She is one year old now full of energy and happiness. She is very friendly and playful. She doesn’t bark much and is pretty calm. She doesn’t have accidents in the home. Might need additional training with the new family. All me and my family are looking for is for a family that will love and care for her.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Coco – Your Gentle Giant of Joy! Breed: German Shepherd Mix Age: 3 years old &#226&#154&#150&#239&#184&#143 Weight: 78 lbs Looking for a loyal, goofy, and love-filled companion? Meet Coco, a sweet and gentle soul who’s full of curiosity and affection. With his warm heart and playful energy, Coco brings sunshine into every room he enters. Coco is a social butterfly who gets along wonderfully with other dogs and loves having fur-siblings to romp around with. Though he isn’t bonded to his current foster brothers, he thrives in a home with fellow four-legged friends and would be overjoyed to have a playmate or two. He’s smart, eager to please, and has recently completed clicker training with Stacy Braslau-Schneck of Stacy’s Wag’nTrain – helping him focus even in distracting or stressful situations. Coco already knows several commands and enjoys interactive play that challenges both his body and brain. When he gets a little too excited, this clever boy knows just what to do – he tucks himself under the kitchen table for a self-imposed time-out to recharge. Coco is completely house-trained, loves car rides, and is working on walking politely on a leash (he just can’t help wanting to greet everyone he sees!). Despite his size and age, he doesn’t need long hikes to burn energy – two short walks a day and playtime with pup pals are plenty for this balanced boy. If you’re looking for a dog who sees the best in everyone, has a heart full of love, and a personality that keeps you smiling, Coco might just be your perfect match. Are you ready to meet your new best friend? Coco is waiting to meet you!

Story

**About Zoe:** Thank you for interested in adopting Zoe. Please know that Zoe is an international rescue through Taiwan. When your application is approved, you will need to pick her up from the airport - such as SFO, SEA, JFK, LAX, IAH, etc. International adoption is not a complicated process and we‘ve done the process many years. We would be happy to explain to you how the process works. Personality Zoe is a very friendly, playful, energetic, and affectionate girl. Whether she is at a dog park or an adoption event, she always behaves with great confidence. She loves being touched by people. Strangers, male or female, can pet her without any issue. She even rolls over and sweetly lets strangers rub her belly. 🔷 Food Guarding Behavior With people, Zoe shows no signs of food guarding at all; you can even take food directly from her mouth. With other dogs, as long as each dog has its own bowl and maintains a proper distance while eating kibble, Zoe does not display any food guarding behavior. However, when it comes to high-value treats, if another dog nearby is more eager or moves quickly toward the treat, Zoe may turn her head, show her teeth, or bark as a warning. This behavior should be carefully monitored. 🔷 Home She enjoys sitting on the sofa and can sleep on a mat or elevated bed. At her foster home, she sleeps in a crate for both naps and at night (this is for easier management due to the number of dogs). When she stayed with her rescuer, she slept on a floor mat in the bedroom since dogs weren’t allowed on the bed. However, she sometimes jumped onto the bed in the morning; if told to get down, she would obediently return to her mat. She rarely barks at home, only when someone enters the immediate front area of the house. Once the person leaves, she stops barking. 🔷 Transportation She is comfortable riding in the car and does not get carsick. 🔷 Bathing She behaves very well during baths and is cooperative when having her anal glands expressed. She is also fine with having her fur blow-dried using either a pet dryer or a standard hair dryer. 🔷 Walking on Leash She walks steadily on a leash. However, if she sees cats, squirrels, mice, birds, or cockroaches, she may get excited and try to rush forward, but she is easily managed. When preparing for a walk, she gets very excited indoors and may jump or pounce on people. Asking her to sit (and being firm about it) before opening the door is recommended. Sometimes, if she urgently needs to pee or poop, she may pull briefly during the walk, but she returns to her normal pace afterward. Occasionally, when she doesn't want to go home yet, she will stand still and refuse to move. Just stay firm, and she will eventually follow. 🔷 With Other Dogs She generally gets along well with other dogs. She is playful but can be a bit rough, which not all dogs appreciate. When going for walks or visiting dog parks, observe how other dogs respond to her enthusiasm. 🔷 With People She is very affectionate and loves both men and women. However, she once got scared by a small child, so she is not very comfortable around preschool-aged children. Currently, if a child runs toward her quickly, she becomes nervous and barks. At dog parks, if small children are present, it is best to put her on a leash first to observe her reaction. ❌❌ Dislikes She dislikes the sound of high heels—especially heeled slippers hitting the floor. This noise scares her and can cause her to bark. ❤️❤️ Likes She loves toys, especially plushies and balls. She doesn’t usually destroy plush toys, but for other types of chew toys, ensure they are durable and appropriate for her strength. 🔷 Affectionate Behavior She is extremely affectionate. Sometimes, when her rescuer naps on the living room sofa, Zoe will come over and ask for cuddles. If the petting stops, she will use her paw to ask for more. This is generally fine, but when her nails are long, her pawing can accidentally scratch you. You can correct this behavior by speaking firmly—she understands and will lie down quietly. 🔷 Potty Training At her foster home, she uses pee pads or artificial grass for potty breaks. When outside, she can also relieve herself quickly during walks. 🔷 Interaction with Cats She gets excited and tends to chase cats, so she is not recommended for adoption by a family that currently owns cats.
