Story
Lucky is a darling boy who is guessed to be a shih tzu/lhasa apso type mix. He is about 17lbs and thought to be around 9yrs old, however acts much younger! Lucky was found in poor condition. He was malnourished and appeared to have been suffering from a flea allergy which caused inflamed skin and missing coat on half his body. In just a few weeks of proper care and good nutrition, he is already looking so much better. His coat will continue to grow, and we know that will make him even cuter! He can be scared/nervous when adjusting to a new environment, so his adoptive home will have to have a little patience. After a few days, he shows his sweet and happy personality. Lucky's ideal home would be: * Experienced dog owners * No kids (or kids over 15) * A yard (however an apartment might be ok depending on the situation) * Must be within an hour of Sacramento Here are notes from his fostermom: This sweet boy is looking for a calm, loving home where he can feel safe and appreciated. Lucky does best with *older children* who can respect his space—he’s a gentle soul who just needs understanding and patience. Lucky is a total sweetheart who loves to cuddle and stay close to his humans. He enjoys playing with toys and is learning how to interact with other dogs; he may bark to get their attention, but he’s making progress every day! He’s *crate trained*, *potty trained*, and will bark or gently paw at you when he needs to go outside. Lucky also knows how to use a doggy door. He absolutely loves going on walks and greeting new people along the way. Lucky would thrive in a home with another *low- to mid-energy dog* or as the *only pet*. With love and stability, this affectionate boy will make a wonderful companion. If you’re looking for a loyal, cuddly friend who just wants to be near you, Lucky might be your perfect match!

Story
Winnie (the Pooh) was rescued from a crowded shelter. He was nervous very matted and dirty when first found in the streets. After a week he warmed up. Shelter staff were able to shave off mats and bathed him. He enjoyed laps and gave kisses. Plays with toys. Was good with other dogs. Now happy and playful meeting another dog out of the shelter. He is now relaxing at his loving foster home with another dog. So far he is very friendly and sweet. He will be groomed soon to even out body coat paws and trim his face. Once he is healthy he will be neutered. More photo and info to come from his foster home. He is a sweetie. 12/31/25 Update from foster home: Winnie is still working on potty training (very normal for young small dogs). He may mark which is being managed with a belly band and is expected to improve significantly once neutered. Great with dogs — playful respectful and socially savvy Playful around cats Gentle and affectionate — not aggressive not nippy Quiet for a small dog — not a big barkerEnjoys being held and cuddling on your lap Confident in the home with no disruptive behaviors Crate trained at night — sleeps through without accidents Smart curious playful and eager to learn Loves playtime walks and exploring.January 3, 2026, 1:57 pm
