Story
Meet Logan! This small sized Rottweiler mix came to the Shelter as a stray so staff do not have history about his life before now. Logan loves attention and is still learning to contain his exuberance when soliciting attention (by sometimes jumping up on people to get TLC). He is working on learning to sit nicely by people’s feet to soak up TLC. Logan loves playing fetch with tennis balls. Logan’s ideal adopter would provide above average daily mental and physical stimulation in the form of positive reinforcement based training and adventures out in the world. Logan has met dogs at the Shelter and has mixed feelings. It seems that he does not have a lot of history interacting with dogs and therefore is not quite sure what to do when they solicit play. A home with another dog savvy large breed dog may be a fit provided they meet at the Shelter prior to adoption. Logan may be just as happy as the only dog in a home. We do not have any history of Logan living with kids, cats, or small animals.Through April 30th – all dogs over 40 lbs have a ½ off adoption fee! Big dogs have lots of love to share so consider adding one to your family today!

Story
Pete T is a 10 year old mostly black bi-color Rottweiller / German Shepherd mix.  He is happy boy whose favorite thing is to play fetch with his human.  Pete takes treats gently, loves to carry a ball around with him, and has the waggiest tail you are likely to encounter.  He is good with adults, dogs, and older kids.  Pete is a high energy, athletic dog.  He would love to have a strong, patient foster or adopter to guide him with basic commands and leash manners. Thulani does not charge an adoption fee and provides medical coverage for life.  Our seniors come with a supply of food, a cushy bed, and their favorite toys. ##1707838##

Story
Looks like: Rottweiler, Great Dane mix Male, 7 years old (estimated), 80 pounds This big dude with his big personality, big smile, and big heart, is the biggest lovebug around. He is dreaming of lovely humans that will snuggle with him all the time, hold his big paws, and tell him that everything is going to be alright from here on out. Gannon was found as a stray, emaciated and weak, and is now slowly building up his weight and muscle-tone. Currently, his stamina is a bit low, but at his foster home, he loves going on leisurely walks and yard saunterings, and he is starting to regain some strength. He begrudgingly accepts the fact that he is not a small lapdog, and politely lays down very close next to you on the couch. When given permission, Mr. Affection will gingerly put his legs on you and smush his head into your torso. Although he prefers the company of people, he also gets along well with dogs of all sizes and is very gentle with small dogs. We have not yet observed his behavior around cats or children, but assume that he will be friendly and tender around anyone. Gannon is perfectly house trained and he hardly ever barks; when he does it's just one "woof". When left home alone, he may initially whine and feel a bit anxious, but quickly calms down and settles in for a nap. On car rides, he is super mellow, chilling out on the back seat. This big snuggle buddy would love to find a home where he can spend lots of time with his humans and show everyone just how loving, sweet, trusting, and silly he is! Sweet Gannon joined us from Stanislaus Animal Services after being picked up as a stray. Want to see more of Gannon? His foster mom created his very own website!!

Story
Hello, I am looking for a nice home for my dear fur baby Truly. She is a little over two years old. I unfortunately can not keep her. She deserves so much more love and attention than I am giving her. She is an out doors dog so she isn't trained to be indoors. She has a lot of energy to keep up with so having someone who is already experienced with having a dog shouldn't be a problem! I am also moving soon so I am hoping I can find her a new loving home within this month!

Story
Meet Choco! This leggy hunk came to the Shelter as an owner surrender after his previous guardian was unable to take care of. Choco has been social and sweet with people since arriving at the Shelter. He has also been social with people, including children ages 3 to 7, in his previous home. Choco can be exuberant in greeting (jumping up on people to say hi) so adopters should be mindful that sturdy children and guardian oversight is highly recommended. Choco has history of rough and tumbling with other dogs in his previous home. At the Shelter he has been a bit of a bulldozer in interactions with other dogs. Due to this, Choco is recommended to be the only dog in the home. To set Choco up for success, adopters should plan to manage his interactions with other dogs by not bringing him to off-leash areas (dog parks, beaches, etc) and proactively work with him on his dog to dog skills with a force free behavior consultant. Choco previously lived outdoors in his former home so adopters may need to be patient in the transition with Choco’s potty training. This handsome gent will enjoy above average mental and physical stimulation in his next home.

Story
WEIGHT: ~54lbs.Meet Arrow- Arrow came to us from a partner shelter where he was picked up as a stray so it will be up to his new adoptive family to come up with an origin story for him. Arrow is a very sweet guy, but he doesn't seem to have much experience doing ‘dog things'. He is sensitive to sudden movements and loud noises, and it is clear that a lot of what he is experiencing here at the shelter and out in the world is very new to him. That being said, Arrow has been super brave since coming to us and is already gaining confidence and warming up to his new human friends. Arrow has met other dogs here, and to be honest, he's got mixed feelings about it. Shelter staff is open to a home with another dog, providing the two prove to be truly a good match after intentional introduction and with a good management plan in place; but a home without other dogs may be best for him at this point in his life. Think you might be this Dobey-boy's forever person? Call our adoptions desk or feel free to stop by the shelter during Browsing Hours: Wed-Sun 11-5.
