Story
Meet Penny. A wriggly, friendly, muscular, chonk of a girl, who wants to be the center of your world. She has been mixing in a number of different social groups, but can be picky about new friends, so slow introductions work best when meeting new pals. She is also not a fan of small children (or cats). Older teens would be a good fit. Penny is an olympian high jumper, we have seen her scale a 5ft barrier, she will need a home with secure and high fencing. Penny has lots of human admirers at our farm, and if you are checking out this outgoing girl from afar, now's the time to submit your application to adopt her.

Story
Hubba hubba? No! Hubba Bubba! This squishy and chewy fella is outrageous and delicious, just like his namesake. Hubba Bubba thinks he`ll be fun for the whole family (kids aged 8 & up, please) and he might be just the right flavor for a first time adopter. He won`t fit in your pocket like the chewing gum, but he`ll fit in your heart easily. All bubbles, no troubles - that`s our Hubba Bubba! Hubba Bubba A510789

Story
Meet Cletus the beefcake! This dog is a show stopper… He gets looks everywhere he goes for that HUGE head and his goofy smile. He's an absolute gem of a dog - he's around 10 months old, so still very much has cute puppy mannerisms but has the energy of an old soul too. Cletus appreciates his walk and a romp with his foster brother playing, but he truly really enjoys the finer things in life... nothing like a comfy furry bed, a blanket, and a delicious chewy while hanging out in front of the fireplace. This guy is easy going and such a love. He’s an expert cuddle and just a doll. He has never met a person he didn't love and wags his entire body in joy when anyone wants to say hello to him. He's fostered with dogs big and small and even made friends with a cat at the vets office. He has loved kids he met, but due to his pure size (a whopping 100 pounds), he may do best in a home with older kids so he doesn't knock them over. We aren’t sure his breed, but think possibly an XL bully or American bulldog mix. Cletus came to us with bad untreated ear infections, he has since undergone a BI LATERAL TECA surgery and is now fully healed. He has 20% of his hearing but you would never notice any difference with him. If you are interested in meeting please fill out an application at our website: www.gobeyondrescue.org/adopt Our adoption fee is $450 and includes spay/neuter, microchipping and up to date vaccines. We adopt within 200 miles of San Francisco.

Story
Meet Harold! This delicious hunk is a darling pitbull around 2-3 years old. We rescued this handsome fella from an overcrowded shelter when he ran out of time. He weighs in at 60 pounds full grown. He was a shelter favorite with his big old head! Harold has been great in his foster home and LOVES people. He’s all wiggles and kisses. Everyone is his best friend! He’s also done well with other dogs. He is crate trained and has nice house manners. He's in training and knows all his basics and walks very nicely on a leash. Harold is truly a gem!

Butters got her name because of the way she likes to melt into you. This girl is a total love bug. Take her to the playroom and you will have your very own 70 pound lap dog. She’s one of the cuddliest big dogs you will ever meet. Butters loves people and belly rubs. She’s also very easy to walk and doesn’t appear to have any issues with other dogs. The main thing she wants is human affection. Give it to her and she will reward you ten-fold.

He is calm indoors, but will get excited to see his loved ones. He can be dog selective and most dogs will not understand his play style. He is such a sweet boy and loves to be around people! Chopper needs his human or a family! He would be great with kids. This boy just has so much love to give and wants to be loved back. Please call 707-459-4900 for an appointment to meet Chopper.

Story
Buckley has been with me for the past 3 years, but I am moving and no longer have the space or money to give him the life he deserves. He is a healthy, happy, super sweet, gentle, loving dog who loves attention and long hugs. He is very playful and matches the energy of who he is with. If you are excited, he is excited. If you are calm, he is calm. He is potty trained and is pretty much a perfect dog. He is still fairly young and follows commands with ease. I just want him to have a better life than I am able to give him, he deserves someone who can spend time with him and give him the attention and love that he needs.

Story
- COURTESY POST - Hello, my name is Larry!  I am a 4 ½ years old Bull Engish Terrier looking to be rehomed by my family.  Unfortunately, my current living situation is not ideal for me, and I need a home where I'm the only dog and spoiled with love. I'm wonderful with all people, very handsome, crate trained, good in the house, fully trained and a joy on leash. My favorite thing is to snuggle & cuddle for long periods of time. I'm a true homebody at heart!! I also love to go for walks & ride in cars!! And, true to the breed I don't love all dogs so needs a home who does not expect me to have lots of dog friends. If you are interested in adopting me, please fill out an application at gobeyondrescue.org

Story
Energetic, loving, and goofy 9-year-old Ella is super sweet but needs a family with an experienced dog owner. A little under 2ft tall and 40 lbs, she's sleek and muscular. Ella is fully house-trained and very patient with the three cats she lives with. She's never lived with kids but is generally chill with the children in the neighborhood. 
 She loves her toys, playing fetch, tug of war games, following you around the house, and of course, napping. Ella wants to be involved in whatever you're doing and is alert to someone coming to the door. She is highly food motivated, Ella picks up new tricks quickly but can be stubborn and easily distracted, so she needs lots of consistent positive reinforcement to maintain behavioral changes. She has many opinions and she will let you know about them. 
 Ella also plays well with other dogs, although sometimes she has issues with dogs larger than she is, but is good at de-escalating potential conflicts. Ella really loves company so if her new people are gone for a full work day she will need a canine companion. She's leash trained and always excited to jump in the car to visit the park. Ella is a great dog looking for a home where she is loved and cherished. Would you be the one for her?" Ella is now being fostered in Oakland, CA and her adoption fee is $275.00 Arrangements to meet our dogs occur after an application has been received. Please contact us at dogzonerescue@yahoo.com for more information about this great gal or for an application to adopt.
