Story
Flora is a very shy girl that needs someone who will take the time and has the patience to work with her! Once she opens up she will be a great dog who loves her person/people! Since she is so shy she cannot be in a home with kids and preferably with only one or two adults. She has stranger danger and does take time to get to know you. Flora will bark at strangers. She would do best in a home being able to be with her sister Ysabel. Please call 707-459-4900 if you have any questions or to set up an appointment to meet Flora.

Story
Meet Spencer, a tenacious senior with a heart of gold and a gummy smile that lights up the room. Despite facing adversity in his past, Spencer embodies resilience and proves that age is just a number when it comes to finding love and happiness. When Spencer first arrived, he was in rough shape, battling a severe upper respiratory infection and sporting some intimidating snaggle teeth. Thanks to the dedicated care and attention of his foster family, along with intensive medical treatment, Spencer began his journey towards recovery. After undergoing extensive dental surgery that left him minus 13 teeth, Spencer emerged with a new lease on life and a quirky personality that shines brighter than ever. His zest for life is evident in his playful antics and bursts of activity, reminding us all that every moment is worth savoring. Now fully recovered and brimming with joy, Spencer is on the lookout for his forever family - a loving home where he can spend his golden years surrounded by warmth and affection. Despite his age, Spencer is as spirited and loving as ever, eager to share his gummy smile and heartwarming presence with those who are willing to open their hearts to him. If you're ready to experience the boundless love and charm that Spencer has to offer, don't hesitate to complete an adoption application and schedule a meeting with this sweet senior. Prepare to be captivated by his infectious personality and gummy grin - Spencer is waiting to steal your heart and become the cherished companion you've been searching for.
