Story
Meet Jimmy! This sweet boy was found running the streets of TJ with his mom looking for food and shelter. Jimmy is very sweet but shy. Jimmy is around 7 months old and weighs around 38 lbs. He is still learning his new environment and sounds. He is working on his puppy manners such as leash, crate, and potty training. He knows to potty outside and feels confident on leash when walking with another puppy. He’ll sleep in his crate at night after he gets all his playful energy out! He is still a bit skeptical of the outside world, while treats are a great motivator. Jimmy is looking for a calm and patient family that will allow him to continue to gain confidence. Jimmy is friendly with kids, dogs, and even coexists with cats. Could Jimmy be the pup for you?

Story
Meet Larry – a joyful, affectionate pup looking for his forever home! Larry is approximately 2–3 years old and full of love and personality. We first met him when he was having a tough time at the local shelter—he was withdrawn and not eating. Since coming into our care, Larry has blossomed into a happy, playful companion who loves being around people. During his time with us, Larry was diagnosed with hip dysplasia. While the shelter considered euthanasia, we saw a different future for him. He hasn’t shown any signs of discomfort, and our vet believes he could enjoy many healthy, symptom-free years ahead. We chose to adopt Larry so he could have the chance he deserves. Now, we’re helping him find a forever family who will appreciate his sweet nature and zest for life. Larry is a resilient, loving dog who will make a wonderful addition to the right home. If you’re looking for a loyal friend with a heart full of joy, Larry might be the perfect match for you!

Story
Meet Six!  He came to us after spending six months on a hill after escaping the shelter where he was housed.  Two months prior, he had been relinquised by a family reporting his primary peson for his first four years of life had passed away.  He was confused, scared and took off while on a walk with a volunteer.  With no sightings for months it was assumed he was gone forever until that first call came in of a dog needing help.  Six had taken up residence in the rough terrain of a college campus hillside where he could avoid the high traffic area with cars and people, he could stay hidden and come and go without being noticed.  Once trapped and identfied as the dog assumed gone forever we planned a way to make space so his shelter days were over and his rehab could begin. Six came to us clearly having had human experiences.  He knew Sit, Shake and once feeling safe welcomed touch, affection and even liked to lean.  Unfortunately due to a lack of life exposure before his shelter expeerience, trauma from six months on his own in survival mode or a combination of both Six struggled with anything beyond a calm and controlled environment.  He has spent the last few months working on his confidence and now enjoys his outings and is on the regular list of participants for pack walks and adoption events.  He LOVES food, is eager to please (or always seeks to not do wrong) and learns quickly with a calm approach.  He still struggles with meeing new men but once sure he is safe lets them completely in.  Don't let his age fool you.  He still acts lke he's two and looks forward to every opportunity to be the center of attention, play with those around him and avoids conflict with other dogs. He is now ready to graduate to a foster or foster to adopt home where he can refresh his real life skills rather than continue in a kennel setting.  He would do best with a neutral and balanced dog.  Due to his confidence building older children would be best.  He is an extreme flight risk so someone as committed to his safety as loving. him is a must.  Because of my Flight Risk I cannot be left unattended in a yard, crate training is a must when you are gone, tight grip on the leash is a must on adventures and my new family must be aware of open doors and windows.  No off leash activites for life in unfenced areas.  I need to stay safe.  Are you ready to help me land my forever? ##1958533##

This guy has an eternal smile on his face and makes friends immediately with people he meets. He's fun-loving and playful with an enormously happy disposition!
