Story
Hey guys, my name is Chomper, I have a unique name because I have a unique mouth. As you can see, I need a little bit of special love and attention when I first got rescued. But I got everything that I needed and now I am moving onto bigger and better things! The biggest news I have is I joined the training program and I am learning to be an awesome dog. I get to show off my skills all the time, and I learn faster than my trainer can teach me, in fact, I learned so fast that it takes three trainers to work with me because they can’t keep up with how smart I am. I really do want to find a forever family and I’m hoping that maybe my unique personality and unique look about me will capture somebody’s attention. Hopefully sooner than later, because Man the older I get the more and more that couch looks really comfy just to snooze on. so keep me in the back of your mind and maybe one day you’ll help me find my family or maybe my family will be you.

Story
Hey guys, yes I’m Gus Gus like from Cinderella and I will say like Gus Gus I am the favorite in my training program. If you want to pick me you need to know my ears are like my antenna and I can dial into any sound and smell from clear across the yard. My trainer and I have such a great relationship and he tells me that when you guys find me I will love you guys even more than I love him, I told him that’s hard to believe but its exciting if it’s true. As a Cattle Dog/Shepherd mix I have a very unique personality the biggest thing you have to know about me is how deeply I love my person, I work hard on controlling all the love I have for my people so I want you to know that I will love you so deeply and be excited every time you come home. You will never have a pup more loyal than me.

Male, 1 yr 2 mos
Sonoma, CA

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Rome and his brother were found together after being abandoned in Richmond, CA, but thankfully their story took a happy turn. Now thriving in foster care in Rodeo, CA, Rome is healthy, confident, and ready to start his next chapter with a forever family. Rome is about 1 year old and weighs around 58 pounds. He’s a Belgian Malinois mix with a sleek black coat that gleams in the sun, soft brown socks, a little white on his chest, and expressive upright ears that are always tuned in to what’s happening around him. He’s handsome for sure — but it’s his personality that really shines. Rome is smart, athletic, and full of joyful energy. He loves being active and would be a fantastic companion for someone who enjoys hiking, running, or outdoor adventures. That said, he’s not all go-go-go — he also knows how to settle and enjoy downtime with his people. He’s crate trained, housebroken, and friendly with other dogs. Like many young pups, his play style can be enthusiastic, but it’s all in good fun. Rome is very treat-motivated and eager to learn, making him a joy to train and bond with. At home, Rome enjoys good food (chicken, duck, and salmon are top-tier in his book) and even appreciates some background music — rock and roll is his favorite, though he’s willing to humor a little country now and then 😉 He’d love a home with another dog to play with, especially one who can match his energy. Rome is looking for a family who’s ready for adventure, laughter, and lots of love. In return, he’ll be a loyal, fun-loving companion who brings heart, happiness, and plenty of tail wags into your life.

Story
Remy’s journey hasn’t always been easy. He was found abandoned in late May in a commercial area of Richmond, CA, but once he was rescued and brought into foster care in Rodeo, everything started to turn around. Since then, he’s been blossoming into the happy, loving dog he was always meant to be. Remy is about 1 year old and around 70 pounds — a Belgian Malinois mix with a stunning brindle coat, a handsome black face, and adorable black socks. He’s a big boy, but don’t let his size fool you… he’s truly a gentle soul. Smart, attentive, and eager to please, Remy loves learning new things (especially if treats are involved!). He’s crate trained, housebroken, and does well with other dogs. He especially enjoys having a canine buddy to romp around with — someone close to his size who can match his playful energy. At home, Remy is affectionate and loyal, the kind of dog who wants to be near his people and soak up all the love. He’s a big fan of chicken, duck, and especially salmon — and yes, he even enjoys music. Rock and roll is his favorite, but he’s open-minded enough to tolerate a little country too 😉 Remy would do best in a home that offers consistency, kindness, and a bit of structure — plus plenty of love. In return, he’ll give you his whole heart, his goofy charm, and a lifelong best friend.
