Story
This beautiful pup is called Sweetz for a reason – she is so wonderfully sweet, tolerant, loving, and cute that the name Sweetz just fits her perfectly! Sweetz has a truly delightful personality! She’s only about 1 year old and we think that full grown, she’ll weigh between maybe 50 and 60 pounds. With her beautiful café-au-lait coat, we think Sweetz looks mostly like a Rhodesian Ridgeback, Black Mouth Cur, and maybe even Anatolian Shepherd blend. Whatever her mix is, Sweetz will make an incredible companion for a family or a single person who is active and athletic. Sweetz is well-behaved, friendly, and very smart. She gets along great with all other dogs too. Of course, her adoption covers her spay, all of her shots, and whatever incidentals she needs to make a happy healthy family friend. To meet Ms. Sweetz, pls email findabestbuddy@gmail.com or call +1 (916)540-9533

Story
*Courtesy Post* Currently in North Park. Gemma was abandoned and picked up. She is spayed. We believe she is about 1.5-year-old. She is good with dogs and people. I have not seen her around cats or kids but she is such a calm, sweet girl that I don’t predict any problems. She will eat anything in front of her and loves to chew on toys and lounge on laps. She is about 35 pounds. If interested in meeting this sweet girl please message or call Sarah at (925)337-3584 or email at sfletcher217@gmail.comMarch 8, 2026, 8:45 pm

Story
Charlie is a 6 year old mix between a Rhodesian Ridgeback, Shar-Pei and Pit, she loves to be in the company of people, she love attention and to be pet. She is extremely smart is treat motivated, meaning she can be trained very easily. She sleeps most of the day on her bed, but loves walks around the neighborhood, playing with her squeeker toys, hikes, the beach and playing fetch at the park. Charlie would thrive with an active owner who loves the outdoors and car rides. She also loves playing with other dogs. Charlie stays up-to-date with her veterinary checkups and vaccinations, but also suffers from skin allergy reactions to certain foods. As a result she takes a pill every morning to help counter-act the side effects of her allergies, if left untreated for even a day she will develop itchy bumps on her skin and ear infections. She also can be uneasy around younger children (5-12 yo) as she seems to have a slight distrust towards them.
