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! 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.

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
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.

Story
We rescued Jax 4 years ago, and he's become a beloved member of our family that we are heartbroken to have to re-home due to new jobs with travel and commutes. Jax is a nearly 7 year old boxer mix... a 70 pound dog who would love to sit in your lap and give lots of sloppy kisses if you let him! Jax is a sweetheart, whether curled at your feet in the family room, playing keep-away with the kids, or running with his doggie friends around the backyard. Jax's main challenge is separation anxiety: He spent over a year in the shelters after being abandoned by his previous family, and still suffers from anxiety if left alone at home. We've worked with him to gradually build up to being at home for an hour, or with another dog, but haven't been able to be consistent in his training in this area. The perfect home for Jax will have a large enclosed yard, one or more doggie companions, and loving humans around him! $50 donation to your local shelter required.
