Story

She is a wonderful doggie. She's housetrained, uses pee-pads inside the house for her business. She is not agressive, loves to go for car rides and feel the wind in her face, she likes to sleep in her little dog bed. I, unfortunately, cannot keep her any longer due to relocation pretty soon. She's a little older so I would hate to take her to the shelter and would rather try and find her a new home.

Story

Charlie came to us from the shelter, where he was found huddled under a cot, unsure and overwhelmed. We immediately brought him into our program to give him the care and attention he deserved. Charlie thrives on routine and companionship. He is an indoor-only dog who would happily spend 24/7 curled up in your lap if given the choice. He is incredibly gentle, affectionate, and well-suited for a calm home. He does wonderfully with kids and would also be a great companion for an elderly adopter. He doesn’t have a mean bone in his body and does so well with other dogs of all sizes. He has been very loved in his foster home (maybe a little too loved when it comes to treats!) so he’s put on a few extra pounds that could easily be managed with a balanced routine. One of his cutest quirks is the way he sits so “fancy” when asking for a snack (see photo!). Charlie’s foster mom absolutely adores him, and while she would love to keep him, she knows he deserves a forever home where a family can fully enjoy everything he has to offer. From day one, Charlie presented with some nasal discharge. Initially, we attributed this to stress-related kennel cough from his time in the shelter. He has since completed multiple rounds of antibiotics and medications. While the kennel cough has resolved and his symptoms have significantly improved, he still experiences occasional, intermittent nasal discharge or "snot". Don’t let that scare you off now.. Despite this, Charlie appears medically well, he’s happy, active, and full of life. We’ve kept him in rescue longer than usual to monitor the snot issue and gather more information, and it has remained mild and manageable. It is NOT contagious and has been seen many times by the vet. Due to the rare and still somewhat unexplained nature of his intermittent nasal discharge, we do recommend that his adoptive family obtain pet insurance as a precaution. We do not believe this is something to be alarmed about but we believe in full transparency. Charlie is truly a unique and special case. Charlie is a sweet, loving soul who just wants to be close to his people, he’s ready to bring warmth spunk, happies and companionship to the right home. Kindly note: He will not be suitable for someone who works away from home and cannot take him with them. ***************************************************************************** COLLAR / HARNESS & PERMANENT PET ID TAG PROVIDED TO ADOPTER.

Story

Hello, I’m looking for help finding a safe, loving home for my senior Shih Tzu. I care deeply about him, but he has resource guarding behaviors and has already attempted to bite my elderly mother. Because of this, I need to find him a more suitable environment with someone who is willing to work with him. I’m trying to avoid taking him to a shelter, as I’m worried about his chances there.

Story

Located in Sacramento, TaiChi is a 4-year-old owner surrender who is going through a very stressful transition. His owner, who is battling cancer, was forced to give him up after an incident at her mobile home park. During nearby construction work, TaiChi nipped a worker on the back of the leg. The bite did not break the skin or damage clothing, but management required that he be removed from the property immediately. This has been heartbreaking for his owner, who clearly loved him very much. TaiChi was temporarily placed with the owner’s niece, where he reportedly got along well with her two dogs. However, after another move into his current foster home with three resident dogs, he has become overwhelmed and uncomfortable. Given everything he has recently experienced, his stress and uncertainty are understandable. TaiChi was originally purchased from a breeder and used as a stud dog, so he is still learning how to adjust to life as a companion pet. He is housebroken and enjoys going for walks, but he should always be walked using a secure harness. Right now, TaiChi needs a calm, patient home where he can decompress, feel safe again, and rebuild trust after so much upheaval. With stability, understanding, and gentle guidance, this boy has the chance to settle in and become a loyal companion once more. ##2730117##

Story

Acquired him from OC Animal Shelter in October 2020 when he was 2. Going to be 8 later this year. Has always been well taken care of, but has some behavioral/anxiety issues from his previous experiences before being adopted by us that he never fully got over. Still anxious and does better in calmer, more relaxing environments. We have 2 little kids now and do not have the time to invest with him so looking for a family that will really put the effort in to allow him to have the best life possible. He is truly a good dog and loves cuddling close to people. He just needs to feel comfortable in his surroundings. Had a companion (Lhasa apso) until May 2025 when our other dog passed away. We really think he would thrive in another household where there is already a dog. He really did enjoy having that company constantly.
