Story

Bella Joy is the love of my life. But I am in a situation I cannot walk her as I use a walker. She loves to play a lot almost all her waking life is play. She is very active healthy strong very loving. I hate to lost her. Last time I back off. But I am 87 developed scoliosis lost a lot of weight although I let her run on my treadmill daily it’s not enough she wants you toalways with play. I can’t at this point. I am active but now pretty slow. I need my nap she wants to play. She’s on high fiber diet loves frozen cut up broccoli.if I donot control her eating she can get over wt I will cry over her it will break my heart but poor dog she has lots of love in her heart I could not give back or responds to it. I live alone with her. I feel guilty that is why I want her to find some active person who’s got time to take her out. I got her for a companion. And she is. She’s so precious she loves to be out in nature free sometimes she gets outshow her good treat u tell go to ur house she goes.

Story

Meet Libby! Libby is a sweet, loving 4-year-old girl who’s ready to find her forever family. She has plenty of the wonderful traits people love in a German Shorthaired Pointer, along with her own unique personality that makes her extra special. Exercise & Activity Libby is an active dog who gets daily exercise and thrives when she’s outdoors. She currently enjoys a 3-mile walk through steep hills every day, plus a weekly free run on a 10-acre ranch where she can stretch her legs until she’s completely tuckered out. She’ll need an adopter who can give her consistent exercise and space to enjoy her GSP energy. Leash Manners On leash, Libby has made great progress. With a gentle lead, she walks nicely and doesn’t pull as much as she used to. She’s learning to manage her excitement around wildlife—she’s calmer with deer and turkeys now, though squirrels still get her attention! Personality & Temperament Libby greets everyone with a happy tail wag that moves her whole body. She’s relaxed and gentle with people of all ages, from babies to older adults. She doesn’t jump up or get rowdy, making her a wonderful companion for families or households with children. Other Dogs & Animals Libby takes some time to warm up to other dogs. At first, she can be defensive – once she feels safe, she settles down and generally ignores them. With patience and continued socialization, she’ll learn that not every dog is a threat. She has also improved around livestock—while goats used to get her barking and worked up, she now passes them with little reaction. Home Alone & Training Libby is calm and well-behaved when left alone. She goes to her bed and naps until her people come back. She’s crate-trained, housetrained, and continues to make steady progress with her manners. That said, Libby will benefit from ongoing training, especially with off-leash reliability and socialization around other dogs. She’s smart and eager to please, so with consistency, she’ll continue to grow into an even more well-rounded companion. The Ideal Home for Libby Libby will do best in an active home that can provide her with daily exercise and opportunities to explore. She’d love a family who enjoys hiking, walking, or spending time outdoors. A home where she’s the only dog—or with patient adopters committed to her continued dog socialization—would suit her best. In return, you’ll get a loving, gentle, and loyal companion who’s happiest by your side. If you’re ready for tail wags, outdoor adventures, and a devoted new friend, Libby may be the perfect match for you! Our adoption process begins with our adoption questionnaire: https://norcalgsprescue.org/adoption-questionnaire/ (Please note that we adopt primarily within Northern California and our minimum age for kids is 6) If you'd like to see what Libby's been up to, check out her posting in the Available Foster Dogs section: https://norcalgsprescue.org/available-dogs/. That's where you'll find all the latest info about all of our available dogs. November 24, 2025, 11:07 pm

Meet Gabriel — Your New Adventure Buddy! Gabriel is a handsome, people-loving GSP with a big heart and an even bigger zest for life. He’s friendly with everyone he meets—adults, kids, and dogs alike—and his tail never stops wagging. Whether he’s greeting new friends or soaking up affection, Gabriel brings joy everywhere he goes. This smart, social boy already knows sit, down, wait, stay, and shake, and he’s crate trained and house trained. He travels wonderfully in the car and loves getting out and about. At home, he’s a champion cuddler who thinks laps and recliners are the best spots in the house. With his playful energy and love of outdoor fun, Gabriel would thrive with an active person or family who enjoys hiking, running, dog parks, or any adventure where he can join in.

Story

Meet Nova – your on-the-go bestie with a rocket-fuel zest for life! If you’ve been looking for a high-octane partner in crime, Nova is your girl. This happy, adorable, wickedly smart youngster is built for fun, movement, and big days outdoors. She’s spirited, willful in a charming way, and absolutely ready to learn whatever you want to teach her—she just needs someone who can channel all that fabulous energy. What Nova brings to the table: Adventure-ready: Rain? Mud? Long walks? Fast zoomies? She’s in. Brilliant: She learns fast—she figured out an “auto sit” before exiting her crate all on her own. Playful: Loves squeaky toys, running full tilt, and engaging with other dogs (she’s still learning when they need a break). Engaging personality: Nova does funny little jaw-snaps when she’s thinking things through, as if she has opinions about your training notes. Sweet + people-loving: She adores attention and enthusiastically greets new humans. What she’s working on: Nova is a classic “sport model” dog—without enough exercise and brain work, she can get a little neurotic and inventive with her energy outlets. She’ll thrive with a person who genuinely enjoys training and activity. House manners: Almost fully house-trained. She will hop on anything (yes, including a TV) and once tried to go through a screen door. She’s improving daily with structure. Leash skills: Currently a pogo stick with opinions. She’s strong, excited, and still learning to keep four feet on the ground while you clip her harness. Crate training: Getting to 100%—sleeps through the night and settles after about 10 minutes of initial protest. Chewing: She’s fast. Harnesses, leashes, bully sticks—you name it. Redirecting and management are key. Exercise Needs: Nova currently gets walks, yard time, dog play, and brain games—but she could easily handle MORE. She’s happiest when she’s moving, exploring, and being challenged. Dog Interactions: She plays hard and doesn’t always recognize when other dogs are over it. With polite dogs or structured introductions, she does great. She’ll need guidance to develop better doggy social skills. Who Nova Is Looking For: Someone active, patient, and ready to invest in training. A person who thinks a high-energy, super-smart dog sounds fun—not overwhelming. Someone who laughs more than they sigh, and who knows that a little chaos now can become a truly amazing companion with consistency and time. Nova is a spectacular dog in the making. She’s bright, athletic, affectionate, and full of life. With guidance and the right outlet for her energy, she’s going to be absolutely fabulous. If you’re ready for a fun, spirited, endlessly entertaining sidekick, Nova can’t wait to meet you Our adoption process begins with our adoption questionnaire: https://norcalgsprescue.org/adoption-questionnaire/ (Please note that we adopt primarily within Northern California and our minimum age for kids is 6) If you'd like to see what Nova's been up to, check out his/her posting in the Available Foster Dogs section: https://norcalgsprescue.org/available-dogs/.
