Story
Ellie came to us from the streets of San Luis Obispo via animal services in very bad condition. She is a great little dog. Sweet temperament. Her main skin issue remain so needs constant skin care from shampoos to lotions and we change to keep testing different options and now with a foster in Sharon she has her on a diet that seems to be helping. Under our care, her hanging unsightly tumors were removed. One eye was removed and she was spayed. She is an affectionate, alert and happy dog even given what she has been through. Special little gal! She does bark however and it is a loud bark and her housetraining is improved,but not perfect. She can make you smile.

Story
It was 5am. The call went out: Send the Police! 🚨 Adorned in protective gear, the police approached the house timidly - unsure what they'd find inside. The homeowner had called frantically. A monster may be lying in wait...As the door sprung open, a demon emerged: fluffy, 12lb, 8 year old Christopher. Street name: Christo-FURY.Look at him the wrong way, and he'll have something to say. Interrupt his nap and you'll never hear the end of it. While he may look like a perfectly cuddly lapdog, he is ANYTHING BUT. That 5am call to the police about a 12lb dog terrorizing her? That's true...and, that's how Christopher finds himself with us now. A wannabe police dog, this Maltese/Shih Tzu mix found himself on the outside looking in at the Police Dog Academy. HIs bark found insufficiently fearsome, and his tiny frame unfit for the riggers of police life. Now: all bark, no badge. Many things offend our little ChristoFURY. On the short list: men, children, strangers, neighbors, delivery people, repairmen, vets, groomers, sharing food, big or energetic dogs.Christopher definitely has some good qualities, too. He's quite a charmer with the ladies - often able to hide his devious side. Christopher gives plenty of warning if you learn his rules and listen to them. He's a good walker, non-shedding, and smart. Overall, Christopher is in great health other than a mild heart murmur which doesn't require medication. Beyond a patient one, we aren't sure what home will suit this little devil best. He may accept the presence of another chill dog, does not want kisses goodnight or to be woken up too early in the morning, and can be bribed with chicken and cheese. If you are still reading and thinking this sounds like a great dog to adopt, please make an appointment with a good therapist(KIDDING), and apply at RBARI.org/dogs so we can broker a meeting with ChristoFURY.If you think you can "fix" him, don't bother - those relationships never work out if you aren't ready to accept each other flaws and all, and he's done with trying to fit into society's convention of what a "pet" should be and looking to live life on his terms - with the rap sheet to prove it.

Story
Puff is a 12-year-old Maltese mix who’s as gentle as they come. Life hasn’t always been kind to her, but she’s finally safe and learning what it means to be loved. She’s a sweet, friendly girl who enjoys quiet moments and soft voices. Puff is on the mellow side, happy to relax by your side or nap in a sunny spot. She’s getting fully vetted with us and will be ready soon for the next and best chapter of her life. She’s fine with other dogs but would also do well as the only pet, soaking up all the love for herself. Puff is ready for the kind of home where she’ll never have to wonder if she’s safe or loved again. ADOPTION PROCESS: 1. You must begin our adoption process by applying to adopt on clawsadopt.org.
