Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Angel is a gentle senior dog. She is hard of hearing and is occasionally incontinent of urine now at night. She mostly sleeps but does enjoy sunbathing in the back yard since it’s warmer. She gets along with other dogs and is passive, although she was totally alpha in her prime. She minds (if she can hear the command.) She is a sweet-tempered dog and enjoys being scratched and petted. She was a stray and the vet estimated her to be 1 year of age in 2011 when I rescued her. In her youth she was my tree climber; she gave those squirrels a run for their money! I can’t take her where I’m relocating and she deserves to live her remaining time in comfort with plenty of love.

BREED-Rat Terrier Mix SEX-Male; SIZE-Small. WEIGHT-15 lbs.; AGE-Approximately 2 Years; SPAY/NEUTER-Yes; HOUSETRAINED-Currently Uses Doggie Door; GOOD WITH KIDS-Yes; GOOD WITH DOGS-Yes; GOOD WITH CATS-Unknown; HISTORY-Rescued From A Local Shelter; ADOPTION FEE-$300; Hi there, I'm Zaden! I'm a little shy, but once I warm up, I'm as sweet as can be. You see, I ended up in this shelter after a hilarious mix-up. I was happily chasing my tail in the park, when a squirrel caught my eye. I forgot about my tail and chased the squirrel instead. Somehow, I lost my human in the process and ended up here. I'm still a playful pup at heart, always ready for a game of fetch or a belly rub. If you're looking for a friendly, fun-loving companion who might occasionally forget you in favor of a squirrel, I'm your guy!April 15, 2025, 8:04 am

I'm Portia, a spirited lass from Mexico. Once, I was just an ordinary pup, until a strange meteorite crashed near me, bestowing me superpowers. I could leap high, run fast, even understand human language! I became 'La Perra Poderosa' - the Powerful Pup, protecting my neighborhood from mischievous cats and pesky squirrels. But, my superpowers attracted attention. A kind-hearted human discovered me and brought me here, to this shelter. Now, I await a new adventure with a loving family. I promise to protect, love, and play with you. Will you be my superhero?April 13, 2025, 2:45 pm

Rat Terrier

Story
Niko is a true lap dog with a lively interest in being outdoors. He was spotted multiple times running the streets before his rescue.  Ideally, he should have daily walks and a very secure backyard since he still seems to hear the call of the wild.  Niko also enjoys looking out the window and going to dog parks, is cooperative getting his harness on, can be left loose when you're out, is good on car rides, and is not a picky eater. Niko is generally low-maintenance with some high-maintenance moments.  He seems okay around respectful children (about 6+), and dogs of all sizes (favors larger dogs), he is playful, and has guard dog tendencies of barking at people/noises near your windows and doors.  He lunges towards squirrels and rabbits, but with bicyclists he ignores some and barks at others.  He alternates from walking with a confident, princely gait, to intensely following a trail nose down, to stopping and sprinkling multiple objects, to galloping towards a desirable tree. As energetic as Niko sometimes can be, he is a deep sleeper who loves to snooze on a dog bed with comfy blankets or get under the covers on a people bed.   Niko is chock full of personality, but the sort that is especially endearing.  He is a charmer with an independent streak.  But most of all he is a loving little guy who needs a loving home. ##2280678##

Story
Update: Sushi continues to be a very sweet girl. She loves to be beside you, and lays with her foster mom on the couch most of the night. She also LOVES car rides, and even looks out the windows! She especially loves when the windows are open. She's a good girl for her insulin injections and likes carrots for snacks. If she is doing something she shouldn't be doing, she listens when her foster mom says NO, and she stops whatever it is and walks away. Sushi is good with kids and cats do not bother her at all, but a home with no other dogs is recommended. Sushi loves to cuddle and would love to have her own person and family; however she would do best as an only dog so she can get all the love to herself. She travels great in the car and will either sit on your lap for a short trip or in the backseat with a doggy car seat. She is housetrained and will go to the door to let you know she has to go potty. She eats like a champ and takes her insulin well. She also does great at the vet and loves her vet clinic friends. She sleeps through the night and is very easy going.Sushi is not interested in toys but loves to chew on vet approved bones. She loves to sleep on the couch with a comfy blanket, and she uses dog steps to get up on the couch. She can safely jump down as long as the floor is not slippery. I have a dog stroller for Sushi and she happily will sit in it and go for a ride or sleep in it when I am sitting at the computer. She enjoys going for short walks and gets excited when you put her leash on! She also does a very funny trot out in the backyard.
