Hi! I got max from a shelter as a puppy he is super sweet and shy when you first meet him but after that he lights up he is so sweet caring and loves cuddling. My current situation is I was living with my parents so I was able to keep him but now things have changed and I need to find somewhere else to live and he was an anniversary present and I am very attached to him and it breaks my heart to have to rehome him. He needs a lot of attention and love or he will not thrive. He is playful with other dogs and cats. He LOVES children. In the right home he will be the sweetest boy for anyone. :)

Story
Meet Paisley! Paisley was a PACA puppy who was adopted at 6-months old. Eleven years later she is back with PACA because her mother passed away. Paisley is super sweet, and seems to have mastered both doggie-speak and English! When my tiny Chihuahuas correct her (!Slow down Paisley!; or !You are crowding my space!, she politely listens to them.) She is quick to learn and quick to cooperate. Paisley would love nothing more than to have a loving home WITH a 4-legged friend in her age range who wants to share toys, pal around, have zoomies, and cuddle together. Paisley loves to play with toys and chew on bones; but she has never chewed on my shoes or anything that doesn’t have a “doggie label.” Paisley is good in the car, good on a leash, good in stores, and good with other dogs. We are not recommending a home with small children, because it seems to be the only activity group where she might become a bit uncomfortable. Paisley is a really good kid, and whoever adopts her and shows her kindness will be well rewarded with love and devotion. Thank you for your interest in a Rescue Pet! PACA is a Foster-Based Rescue with no shelter. We have adoption clinic on the 1st Saturday of each month from 11a-2pm at 6300 San Mateo (along the grass next to Academy Rd) in the southern end of the Spouts Market parking lot volunteer staffing/weather permitting. We can also make arrangements for a Private Meet-and-Greet with the foster parent and your household with approved applications. You can complete and easy online application here: https://form.jotform.com/22202836904915

Story
Loves: space with grass for sunbathing and zoomies, leash walks/runs, car rides, soft beds, toys, belly rubs, leadership, and consistency from her Human. Loves NOT so much: sharing HOME space with other 4-legged creatures. Moxie tends to "attach" herself to one person, this has ranged from adult to child. Therefore we recommend a home with adults only who can use common sense techniques to redirect any over-protective tendencies. Moxie does not what to lead the pack but if there is no APPARENT Leader she will step up to the plate which creates anxiety and bad behaviors for any dog. We have adoption clinic on the 1st Saturday of each month from 11a-2pm at 6300 San Mateo (along the grass next to Academy Rd) in the southern end of the Spouts Market parking lot volunteer staffing/weather permitting. We can also make arrangements for a Private Meet-and-Greet with the foster parent and your household with approved applications. You can complete and easy online application here: https://form.jotform.com/222028369049155 The $250 adoption fee covers S/N, microchip, vaccines and heartworm/tic borne illness testing.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
I am one of those dogs that folks often look for here at Animal Humane. I am a great age, a great size and a good candidate for playing fetch. The folks here suggest that I am a sweetie pie. I love walking, talking to my peeps and relaxing by the fireplace (when it's cold!) Be sure to come by to check out my qualifications so that we can get to work learning how to begin our life together.A team member notes: I spent time with Gilbert in his room. He was wary at first, but quickly became a loving dog, staying right in front of me for rubs and scratches. He also gave me some very polite kisses. If he seems wary at first, please give him some time to show his true personality. Primary Color: White Secondary Color: Black Weight: 70.8 Age: 3yrs 1mths 0wks

What a handsome guy! My soulful eyes and inquisitive facial expressions could charm just about anyone. Just look at my cute white paws and tip of my tail, and freckle fun on my nose. I'm a terrier mix breed with lots of love, affection and energy to give. I need a home that understands my stoic and strong personality is just my outer shell, but I am a softy who enjoys cuddles whenever. I am the star of the show so I would prefer a home without other dogs or young kiddos. Primary Color: Black Brindle Secondary Color: White Weight: 56.6 Age: 1yrs 1mths 0wks

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Carmen is one of the Ranch's long-time residences who is yet to find her forever home. She can be very shy when it comes to meeting new people and likes to approach people at her own pace. Once she trusts you, she will want to be around you all the time! She loooves water and enjoys standing around in the kiddie pools to cool off in the summer. She is a little selective about the dogs she enjoys being around and tends to prefer the company of submissive females. She would do best in a home without kids and a tall fence since she has some incredible "hops".Come meet Carmen at the Main Ranch Location. For further information email dogswmr@gmail.com

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Remington is a playful and boisterous puppy-at-heart. He would love to find an active home with large dog experience. He's been yearning for a home for a very long time. He is great with people, but his enthusiasm and energy might make him a best fit for children 12 years or older. He is dog selective; the best match would be a medium to large, mellow dog that doesn't overwhelm him. He is very sweet and loves life. Remington would thrive from walks with his owner and a balanced diet. He is cat reactive, so a home with a cat would not be ideal.He can be see at the main ranch location. For more information, please email dogswmr@gmail.com

Story
Meet Enya!This sweet lady is a ranch favorite! Enya came to us with her 9 puppies, she was extremely skinny as she was putting all her energy into caring for her pups, our team quickly made efforts to get some weight on her and gain her trust. While Enya is very nervous around new people she does open up when given enough time and treats. Enya does best when she has a doggy friend to play with as they help her feel brave. Due to her history of being a stray, a home visit and meet and greet is required before she can go to her new home. You can meet Enya at our main ranch location or for more information please email dogswmr@gmail.com
