Story
I am at Oakland Animal Services in kennel Dog G:4Oban – Calm, Independent, and Easygoing Oban is a 12-year-old Alaskan Malamute mix weighing 84 pounds. This sweet senior has a calm, independent personality and is wonderfully easy to handle. Easygoing on walks: Oban walks nicely on leash, with only occasional moderate pulling, enjoying leisurely walks and sniffing. Calm and independent: Oban is content doing his own thing. After some time sniffing around the yard, he happily settles and chills. He doesn’t seek out pets nor constant attention, but he remains calm and pleasant in his surroundings. Curious about the world: Oban sometimes takes an interest in people and dogs passing by, quietly observing what’s happening around him. Patient and tolerant: Oban showed an impressive amount of patience during a two-hour bath and brushing session, taking the experience in stride. Oban would be a great fit for someone who appreciates a calm, independent senior companion. He would do best with appropriately matched dogs, as a solo dog with appropriate dog friends.September 5, 2026, 4:29 pm

Story
Rufus is a mellow, easygoing guy who’s ready to settle into a home where he has room to stretch out and relax. He thrives in a larger space and needs a home with a yard where he can enjoy the outdoors at his own leisurely pace. Housetrained and well-mannered, Rufus makes a smooth transition into home life. This sweet boy is family-friendly and has a special way of leaning in for affection, quietly asking for love and connection. He does best with another young med/large dog in the home close in age and medium energy activity level that he can romp and wrestle with. He may be able to live with calm dog savvy cats as he has made friends with the neighborhood cat in his foster’s yard. Rufus is still skittish of many things, narrow spaces, loud noises, crowded places so living in a non urban environment may be a best match for him. If you’re looking for a calm, loyal companion who enjoys both space and snuggles, Rufus might be just the perfect addition to your home.

Story
Meet Scratch! This stunning white German Shepherd and Malamute mix is back with us and looking for a true forever home. He was originally born right here in our rescue and named Austin, but he was adopted out as a puppy to a family who loved him. Sadly, a year later, his family's circumstances changed and they were no longer able to care for him, bringing him back into our rescue family. Scratch has grown into a beautiful, loyal, and energetic young dog who is ready for a fresh start. He combines the sharp intelligence of a German Shepherd with the playful, adventurous spirit of a Malamute. Because he is just a year old, he still has plenty of that fun puppy energy and a big curiosity about the world around him. He is highly food-motivated, eager to learn, and ready to bond deeply with a handler who can guide his teenage energy. His ideal home is an active one that can provide him with the daily physical exercise and mental stimulation he craves. Scratch would love a family that enjoys outdoor adventures, backyard playtime, and continuing his training so he can be the best boy possible. He has handled these big life changes with a brave heart and cannot wait to meet the family that will promise him a lifetime of commitment.

Story
My name is Nike and I am a spayed female, black and white Akita and Siberian Husky. The shelter staff think I am about 1 year and 10-months old. I have been at the shelter since January 15, 2026 Meet Nike, the Akita Siberian Husky Mix! Nike arrived at the Shelter by no fault of her own – her previous guardian was unable to continue caring for her. Nike has been described as energetic and friendly with people. She enjoys going for walks and runs. She’s lived with children ages 5, 8 and 9 years of age as well as teenagers and did well with them. She was crated when left alone for a few hours and was eager to reconnect with her family when they came home. Nike is a smart cookie and comes with a whole vocabulary of things she knows including: “sit”, “lay down”, “high five”, “shake”, “wait”, “slow down”, and “come here”. She would love to work her brain with her new family (and bond through positive reinforcement based training. Nike enjoys riding in the car on her way to adventures. She can be selective in her dog friends (liking some but not others) so if there are any resident dogs in the home, it would be recommended they meet prior to adoption. Nike's adoption fee has been sponsored by the Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter Foundation's Leave No One Behind fund - a fund that draws adopter's eyes towards animals that have been waiting a little bit longer than average for the right adopters to come along and bring them home. The Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter Foundation is now offering “Pawsitivity Bucks” with every dog adoption. This $200 training voucher is a way for newly adopted canines and their guardians to connect with local positive reinforcement based behavior consultants and get their relationship started off on the right paw! Nike’s Animal ID is A327886 For more information about Nike or to meet her, please contact: Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter 1001 Rodriguez Street Santa Cruz, CA 95062 831-454-7200 www.scanimalshelter.org Please note: Our Santa Cruz location’s Shelter hours are 11am to 6pm, 7 days a week! Although clients can walk through and see any animals in their kennels during open hours, we end “meet and greets” (aka meeting an animal out of the kennel) at 4:30pm every day. If you’d like to meet an animal out of the kennel, please arrive before 4:00pm to allow for time to discuss individual animals and meet them.

Story
Jabulani, lovingly nicknamed Jabu for short, is a sweet girl looking to affectionately nuzzle her way into your heart! This precious girl absolutely adores being in the company of her human companions. She greets everyone she meets with a curly tailed tail wag and lots of slobbery kisses. She also makes sure to show off her agile spins and funny vocalizations to wow her new friends. She is an energetic and active pup that would love to go for long walks, spend some time playing fetch in the yard, training using positive reinforcement methods, and enjoying a nice food puzzle. Jabu is also a gold medalist at tug-of-war and an expert in squeeky toys. You can see Jabu in action in this youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/j9ZpmzAYeRg Petite and beautiful at 62 pounds and 11 years, Jabu prefers to be the apple of her person's eye, for this reason she would be perfectly happy as a solo dog. This elegant and refined young lady would prefer a home without tiny little hands as she enjoys her space after meals and that can be hard for kiddos to understand. Jabu really loves her people and can be heard whining and complaining when left at home alone. With some support from our behavior team you should be able to work through her very mild separation anxiety.Overall, Jabu is a smart and bouncy girl, spinning around when she gets excited and even loves exploring the beach and dipping her paws in the ocean with her humans. This sweet girl joined us after her guardian sadly passed away unexpectedly. Are you interested in learning more about Jabulani?

Story
Hello! We are reaching out in hopes of finding homes for two wonderful Akitas, Nikita and Goku, who are currently at the Hesperia Animal Shelter and will both be deadlined next week due to space restrictions. Nikita is a beautiful 3-year-old intact female Akita who has been at the shelter since mid-July. She is an incredibly sweet girl who is dog tolerant, completely potty trained, and keeps her kennel clean. She looks forward to her daily outings to the play yard and truly comes alive when she is able to get outside and spend time away from her kennel. Unfortunately, her extended shelter stay is beginning to take a toll on her, and she is becoming increasingly depressed in the kennel environment. Goku is an approximately 3-year-old male Akita and is truly the sweetest boy. He appears to be dog friendly, loves playing with toys, and walks well on a leash. He is affectionate, easy to spend time with, and would make a wonderful companion for the right home. Although Goku and Nikita did not come into the shelter together, they look so similar that they could almost be related. Our shelter is currently at full capacity, and unfortunately both Nikita and Goku are expected to receive deadlines next week due to the continued need for kennel space. We desperately want to see these two wonderful dogs get the opportunity they deserve. If you are able to help either Nikita, Goku, or both of them, or if you know of others that may be interested in adopting them, please reach out to us as soon as possible. Thank you for everything you can do to help make a difference for Nikita and Goku. For more information or to visit Nikita and Goku, please contact: Hesperia Animal Services 11011 Santa Fe Avenue East Hesperia, CA 92345 760-9471700 760-947-1712 fax Shelter Hours: Sunday and Monday - Closed Tuesday to Saturday, 10am to 5pm (This listing is to help assist direct placements of rescues that are currently with other rescue groups, shelters or their current owners.
