Buddy is a rescue. He likes a lot of attention. He is a good boy. He does suffer from allergies but Ithink it is because I back up to a creek and have lots of bay leaf trees oak and eucalyptus. While getting my house ready forsale I had Integrity K9 keep himfor a month and train him. He is uneasy around ment at the beginning. Need to introduce himslowly to men then he will be fine.

Story
I am in a foster home and not at the shelter. If you are interested in adopting, submit an adoption questionnaire by email. Learn more hereLouie is the perfect pooch for a quiet and calm household looking for a quirky and cute senior! Louie is great (independent) with both cats and dogs, so would be fine in a home as the only pet or with other low energy friends. Since he can’t see perfectly, he may get startled with a more high energy roomie! For this reason he would do best in a home without kids.  Louie’s perfect day would involve lots of time with his people getting back scratches, cruising around outside, treats, and lots of snoring naps on a comfy dog bed! He had a rough start to life and will need medication 4x per day for his epilepsy, though he takes meds in pill pockets like a champ! He is on his way to being fully potty trained. He will need regular grooming but got glowing reviews from his prior groomers!  Do you have the perfect couch he has been looking for?

Story
Luigi is a great fun-loving young adult who does great with both people and dogs. He sleeps through the night (can be on a dog bed or in a crate but he prefers the couch with the other dogs), is potty-trained, leash-trained and best of all, great off-leash on hikes with his crew! Luigi would love a home where his people are home most of the time, can take him on outings or to work, or who have another dog to keep him company. If this adorable and friendly guy seems like a fit for you, please fill out an application and come meet him today!

Story
Meet Walter, a delightful 8-year-old Chocolate and white Shih Tzu / Lhasa mix, weighing in at a charming 15 lbs! This handsome and sweet boy is on the lookout for a cozy lap to call his own, ready to be your 24/7 companion. Walter will require regular professional grooming to keep him looking his best. Walter's journey to finding love has not been easy. Once a Christmas puppy, he was sadly turned into an outdoor dog when the novelty wore off, enduring years of neglect and matting. His eye became infected and remained untreated for far too long until he caught the attention of his devoted foster mom. Walter was surrendered to her, and with her care, he received the professional grooming and veterinary attention he desperately needed, including a neuter surgery and the removal of his eye. Fostering truly saves lives, and Walter is now ready to know nothing but love moving forward. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs and cats, making him a fantastic addition to any household. Walter adores toys and absolutely loves being around people. In terms of potty training, he thrives on a routine, so regular trips outside every couple of hours during the day are essential. When left alone, he wears a male wrap without any fuss. Walter walks beautifully on a leash and enjoys car rides, especially when there's a Puppuccino involved! He’s an all-around happy guy who radiates joy and affection. Walter is neutered, microchipped, and ready to find a loving forever home. If you’re looking for a sweet, deserving boy to spoil and cherish, Walter is the perfect match! Don’t miss the chance to give him the love he deserves. He is sure to bring love and joy into your home. We have a Facebook page and hope that you will “Like” us at https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61561870361467 to see postings of our dogs.
