Story
Sometimes more is more. Mia is a very big dog with an equally big heart and a gentle soul filled with enormous feelings. Shy, loving, loyal, wary, brave. All these describe Mia. She is indeed shy at first, loving when she's comfortable, loyal when she really knows who her people are, wary of other dogs and brave to overcome her fears and make adjustments.Mia is currently enjoying all the benefits of a wonderful foster home, where she is learning to trust. It seems that in a previous home Mia had less than ideal encounters with other dogs and those experiences made her cautious around her own species. Maybe you can relate. Because of this, Mia would prefer to be the only dog in the home (although a dog-savy cat may be okay). With very slow introductions, she may eventually come to become comfortable with a dog friend or two.If you're a big-dog fan (or even just a big dog-fan) and cuddly love is your currency you should get to know Mia. She's grand enough to hold all your love, loyalty and affection in one big beautiful dog.***ADOPTION FEE SPONSORED*** Primary Color: Sable Weight: 97.4 Age: 7yrs 7mths 3wks

Story
Meet Aspen Sometimes, one moment is all it takes to save a life. Aspen, a beautiful adult Heeler mix (possibly with a touch of Rottie), was just hours away from being euthanized at the shelter. Overlooked and out of time, her story was about to end, until a volunteer saw her. There was something in Aspen’s eyes, a quiet, soulful look that said she wasn’t ready to give up. And because someone chose to see her, Aspen is here today. Now safe, Aspen is beginning to decompress and learn what it means to be given a second chance. She is very friendly, greeting people with warmth and an open heart. Underneath that friendly nature is a deeply loyal, sensitive dog who forms strong bonds with the people in her life. Once she connects with you, you’ll see her true heart, gentle, devoted, and incredibly attached. Aspen is smart and observant, always watching and learning. She has that classic working-dog intelligence paired with a steady, grounding presence. She wants to understand her person, to bond, to belong. There’s something really special about Aspen. She isn’t just another dog, she’s a survivor, a second-chance soul who is ready to give her whole heart to someone who will love her in return. She didn’t ask for her past, but she’s holding onto hope for her future. If you’re looking for a loyal companion, a friendly shadow, and a dog whose love runs deep, Aspen is waiting to meet you.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Story
Meet Wally – The Happiest Aussie Around! 🐶☀️ Wally is a jolly, joyful Australian Shepherd with a heart as big as his smile! His journey hasn’t been the smoothest—rescued from a shelter somewhere in LA, he was quickly pulled by a less-than-reputable rescue and left in boarding without a second thought. But despite the bumps in the road, Wally never let it dim his light. This boy is pure sunshine. Wally is friendly with everyone he meets—dogs, people, you name it. He’s super affectionate, loves to be near his humans, and has that lovable Aussie charm that wins hearts fast. He doesn’t bark much, he just wants to spread joy and soak up love wherever he can. Wally is also dog-friendly, making him a great fit for homes with other pups. His energy is upbeat without being over the top, and his sweet, easygoing personality makes him a dream companion. Wally’s ready for a fresh start—one where he’s truly part of a family, not just passed through. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving buddy who’ll brighten every day with a wag and a cuddle, Wally is waiting with open paws. Come meet Wally—the happy heart you didn’t know you needed. 🐾❤️

Story
This animal is available at the Napa County Shelter Phone: 707-253-4382 PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT NORTH BAY Dino 51755   Breed:Rottweiler   Color:Black / Tan   Sex:Male   Age:1 year, 3 months   Weight:82 lbs   Date In:1/4/2026   Dino is a beautiful young Rottweiler who is looking for a patient and understanding home. He can take a little time to warm up to new people, but once he feels comfortable, his sweet and gentle personality really shines through. Dino loves rolling over for belly rubs, enjoys going for walks, and would make a wonderful companion for outdoor adventures. We've noticed he can be a bit flinchy at times, which may suggest he hasn't always had the kindest experiences in the past, so he would benefit from a home that can help build his confidence with patience, kindness, and positive reinforcement. With time and trust, Dino blossoms into one of the softest, most loving boys.  The Napa County Shelter Erika Gamez Shelter Manager  942 Hartle Court  Napa, CA  94558  Main Phone: 707-253-4382  Main Fax: 707-253-6191  Kelly Tracey, Shelter Supervisor  ktracey@co.napa.ca.usMay 13, 2026, 12:05 am

Hi! I'm Alistair Mac, and I'm a large breed mystery mix! At 75 pounds, I'm a solid, energetic boy who's already neutered, rides great in the car and is ready for all your adventures! I am very food motivated and eager to please which means training me is a joy. I do need a home with a yard where I can burn off my youthful energy, and would love to go for long walks and hikes with a family as active as I am! No young kids because I might accidentally knock them down. I am waiting for my best friend and hope you are too! 🐾 If interested in meeting me, please complete an application at www.jellysplace.org and submit a Dog Adoption application!

Oakland, CA
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Jonesy is an older, 84-pound Rottweiler mix. Jonesy is a medium energy guy who knows how to enjoy the slower things in life, but also enjoys long waks. Jonesy is a pleasure to walk on leash. He loves to use his nose and goes on regular sniffaris. Jonesy is extremely food motivated and has proven himself a good candidate for further training. He will need an experienced home committed to further training. Jonesy would do best in an adult-only home. Ideally the person who adopts Jonesy would have experience with Rottweilers or done some research into the breed. Jonesy is comfortable around other dogs with the right match, but would be equally happy as a cherished solo companion. **Jonesy's adoption fee is sponsored by a generous donor!**

Story
Dottie is a striking ~100 lb senior Rottweiler mix. This girl is quiet, easygoing, and pretty lazy! She loves to sleep and we don't think she'll need much more than a couch or dog bed and a few short walks a day to be happy. We're still getting to know her, but we'd love to see Dottie find an awesome couch to crash on, whether it's a foster home or a permanent home.

Story
Bo is a Rottweiler mix with a heart every bit as big as he is. This handsome boy is sweet, gentle, loving, and just mischievous enough to keep you smiling. His favorite hobby? Convincing himself that couches and beds were made specifically for him. The good news is that he's a gentleman and will happily hop down when asked. Bo has quickly become a favorite in his foster home thanks to his easy-going nature and affectionate personality. He loves being around his people and is always ready for pets, snuggles, and quality time together. Whether you're relaxing at home or heading out for a walk, Bo is happiest when he's by your side. Bo enjoys a couple of daily walks and would thrive with a family that can provide him with regular exercise and companionship. He comfortably handles one to two-mile walks and has excellent leash manners. He knows the commands sit, stay, stop, and go, and responds well to redirection. He's also fully house-trained and will politely head to the door when he needs to go outside. When it comes to playtime, Bo loves soft toys and enjoys both entertaining himself and engaging with his humans. He has a fun, playful side but also knows how to relax and enjoy a lazy afternoon. One of Bo's most endearing qualities is his calm, gentle temperament-even at 120lb! He is outgoing when meeting new people and happily leans in for affection. He has shown friendly interest in other dogs and seems eager to make canine friends. While he hasn't been tested with cats or children in his foster home, he has been nothing but sweet and gentle with the adults and dogs he has met. Bo is also the perfect balance of companion and watchdog. He is attentive to his surroundings and will alert you if something unusual is happening outside, but he is not a frequent barker. Inside the home, he is incredibly well-mannered, free-roams responsibly when left alone, and has never been destructive. Bo's foster family describes him as "the most amazing dog." He is gentle, sweet, fun, and incredibly easy to love. If you're looking for a loyal companion who will fill your home with love, laughter, and a little bit of Rottweiler charm, Bo may just be your perfect match. (CT)

Story
Meet Titus, a one-year-old Pit Bull mix who is essentially a walking ray of sunshine. If you are looking for a sidekick who believes every stranger is just a best friend he hasn't met yet, Titus is your guy. With a heart twice the size of his blocky head, he is the definition of "good vibes." His tail is a constant blur of motion, and he greets the world with a wide, infectious smile that makes it impossible to stay in a bad mood around him. He is a social butterfly through and through, boasting an A+ rating when it comes to getting along with both people and other dogs. Of course, every big personality comes with a few hilarious quirks. He is currently working on his basic manners and learning how to find his "off" switch, so he'll need a patient family willing to guide him through some essential training.The ideal home for Titus is one that embraces an active lifestyle. We also think he'd be great as a second dog, since he loves playing with other dogs and has energy to burn. He isn't looking for a couch potato life; he needs humans who view exercise as a hobby rather than a chore. Whether it's long hikes, vigorous play sessions in the yard, or engaging brain games, Titus thrives when he has a job to do and energy to burn. His perfect match will be someone who enjoys the bonding experience of obedience training and can provide the structure he needs to learn how to settle down after a big adventure. If you have the energy to keep up with a goofy, social, and endlessly lovable teenager, Titus is ready to reward you with a lifetime of loyalty and laughter. He is a work in progress, but the foundation of love and friendliness he offers is rock solid. Come meet this smiling boy today and see if you're the active leader he's been waiting for! ***ADOPTION FEE SPONSORED*** Primary Color: Fawn Secondary Color: White Weight: 61.4 Age: 1yrs 4mths 4wks
