(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Clifford is the sweetest boy, but he came to the shelter scared and distrustful of new people. Once he warms up he is loving, obedient, and above all PLAYFUL. This young dog would chase a ball all day. He is smart and treat motivated, and we know he’ll respond quickly to training. He really doesn’t take long to come around now, and has met strangers both out in public and in shelter with success. Clifford still struggles with fear based responses, though, and will need a confident and experienced handler who can help him feel safe and make good choices. He shows real promise with other dogs, just needs to learn how to play a little better post neuter. You’ll see his body language is all play in the videos. Though Clifford has made great improvements in the shelter, he is on our urgent to exit list, as we don’t want him to backslide into fearfulness by staying at the shelter. Can you help Clifford?

Story
MEET HOWIE! This happy, gentle Rhodesian Ridgeback/pit mix is a loverboy! Howie is 5 years young and has a heart full of love to give. He was rescued from a California shelter in very rough shape - he had major skin issues/hair loss and had clearly been neglected, but now he looks so much better! He's appreciative of love and attention and is a very affectionate boy. He's a big snuggler and will want to share your bed. He loves going for walks and other outings. He is good with some dogs but not others, so would probably thrive as the only dog in the home, or with a submissive female. He's been waiting a long time for his own home, and we're hoping 2025 is his year! Howie currently needs a foster or forever home. He weighs about 55-60 lbs. Please email for an application.

Story
Hi, I’m a joyful, energetic girl who’s discovering just how fun life can be. I recently came to the shelter through our Humane Officers and have been embracing my fresh start with curiosity and excitement. I love stretching my legs, showing off my zoomies, and exploring everything around me. Toys? I adore them, especially the kind I can really get into! I may be a little shy when we first meet, but I warm up quickly and have so much playful personality to share. I’ve lived with children and other dogs before and did well with both. I’m energetic in the best way, I’d thrive with an active family who enjoys routine, enrichment, and plenty of playtime. If you’re looking for a fun, spirited companion who’s ready to run into her next chapter with you, I’m your girl.

Story
Meet Brownie! Brownie is a beautiful 7-year-old female Rhodesian Ridgeback who found herself in the shelter through no fault of her own. She came in with her longtime companion, Tex, after an unfortunate change in their family life left them needing a new home.Brownie is a sweet, expressive, and very talkative girl who isn’t shy about sharing her thoughts—you might even suspect there’s a smidge of hound dog mixed in with her Ridgeback roots! She’s been by Tex’s side her whole life, and the two have been a source of comfort for one another during this big transition.While Brownie and Tex do not have to be adopted together, they would truly prefer it, as they’ve only ever known life side by side. Brownie would do best in a loving home that appreciates her personality, her voice, and her loyal heart—whether that’s with Tex or on her own with a family ready to adore her. Please email advocatessbcas@gmail.com for more info!
