Story
Looks like: Akita mix Female, 10 years old (estimated), 56 pounds Jabulani (or Jabu for short) is an absolute sweetheart who adores being around people, including children. She lights up with pure delight whenever someone approaches her to say hello. She likes pets and belly rubs and always wants to be in the same room as her humans. This girl will steal the show with her agile spins and funny vocalization, topped off with the best curly-tailed tail-wags to communicate her excitement. Jabu is such a Stellar pup and gets along just fine mingling with other dogs but she would prefer to be the apple of your eye in her next home and is searching for a home where she can be a solo dog. This active and energetic pup enjoys running after tennis balls or frisbee rings, will challenge you to rounds of tug-of-war, or go crazy with her squeaky toys. Jabu is well versed in basic commands and eager to please. She walks nicely on leash, sometimes pulling a little early during the walk, ready to explore and get moving. Staying home alone makes her a bit anxious and she may whine and complain about it. She would much rather come along and go on a car ride with you. In her wildest dreams, Jabu is hoping for a home where she would get a lot of time with her humans, go for daily walks, and get lots of play and cuddle time. While she is always willing to play or go on an adventure, she is also super happy to chill out and relax. Jabu joined us after her guardian sadly passed away unexpectedly.

Story
Hello, my name is Marbles! I was a stray in Monterey when the SPCA rescued me. I might seem a little shy right now but when you spend some time with me you'll learn what a wonderful and loving companion I am. I'm just a puppy, so you will need to teach me all about how to be a good dog when I grow up. I would benefit from training classes! Primary Color: Blue Merle Secondary Color: White Weight: 45.5 Age: 0yrs 5mths 2wks

Story
Meet Havarti! When he arrived as a stray, Havarti was a bit reserved, so we weren`t sure what to expect, but it turns out he`s a SOCIAL SUPERSTAR!!. As a husky, he of course has some energy and needs exercise and a fairly active lifestyle, but that`s easy to provide because he`s quite adaptable - he has great communication skills with other dogs and is polite with them, he can stay calm in hectic environments, he does great for car rides, and he`s been gentle with young kids. He takes a minute to warm up to new people, but once he gets to know you, he loves to chill, cuddle, and soak up the petting! He loves getting out and about and is highly adaptable and flexible to whatever is going on. He may do well with another politely sociable dog, and/or a home with kids. Cats and other small pets may not be a great fit. If you`re in the market for a One in a Million angel dog, come and meet Harvarti!!

Story
Meet Chowder! This dog came to the Shelter as a stray underweight and not so sure of the world around him. With time and patience, Chowder has warmed up to staff and volunteers. Chowder has an affinity towards other dogs and would thrive in a home with a confident, well socialized dog. Chowder has met various large breed dogs at the Shelter and has enjoyed playing with them. A home with a playful, well socialized dog may help Chowder to learn that the world around him is not so scary. Any resident dogs should meet at the Shelter prior to adoption. We do not have any history of Chowder with cats, small animals or kids. Chowder’s adopters are recommended to be patient with him in the transition while he learns life skills and manners and acclimates to the home.
