Story
Aspen was adopted from the Monterey County SPCA when she was 4 months old, in 2016. Her birthday is April 10th 2016. She was born at the SPCA. The only blonde out of an all brindle litter. Her mother was a purebred blue nose American Saffordshire Terrier. DNA later revealed that Aspen is 50% American Staffordshire Terrier, 37.5% Siberian Husky, and 12.5% German Shepherd. Aspen is a sweet and loyal dog. She enjoys being home and relaxing with family, as well as being outside basking in the sun. Aspen knows commands sit, stay, off, lay down, leave it, take it, let’s go, move it, go outside, go inside, paw (shake), and roll over. She walks with a gentle leader. Aspen gets along with some other dogs. Cats and other animals unknown. It would be best if Aspen was the only pet in the home. Aspen is allergic to chicken and on a chicken free diet. She is also on RX pain relievers for arthritis.

Story
Terrence is a friendly, out-going young dog who greets everyone with tail wags and walks enthusiastically on leash. Terrence enjoys frolicking in the grass and is bouncy and playful. He`s befriended some dogs at the Shelter and is energetic and playful with dogs he`s met. He hung out in a foster home for a period and the foster reports the following: `Terrence is amazing and I love him so much!! He’s the best snuggle bug, loves to play with his foster sister, rides so well in the car and already knows sit, down, and is getting so good at loose leash walking. Terrence is amazing in every way and will thrive in a home without kitties. He’s one of the best dogs I’ve ever met!`Like a lot of bully dogs, he`s mildly obsessive about things that have gotten him rewarded with attention in the past - for Terrence, that`s playing with a tennis ball, which he`ll happily do until he`s exhausted. It may take him a bit to decompress in a new home and realize that he`ll still get love, attention and company even when he`s NOT adorably leaping and pouncing on a ball and tossing it back to you for more...A canine companion in the home to zoom around with is likely a fit - he tends to go right up to other dogs and sniff and say `hi` with friendly, eager wags. Terrence is sociable, young, and friendly, so with positive reinforcement training and good management, Terrence will likely pick up house training and other household rules and manners quickly! What this little guy lacks in height, he makes up for in charm and sociability!

Story
Meet Sweet Pea the staffie! This little peanut of a sweetheart came to the Shelter after a good Samaritan had her in their care for about 1.5 months but was unable to continue caring for long term. In the home, Sweet Pea was an indoor dog that would lay on her dog bed on the floor. She had been around two cats in the home and did well. She liked to go for walks and went on them daily. She was noted to be house trained although she would do a little submissive urination when she was excited. Sweet Pea enjoys car rides and likes to play with toys. In this home, she was also around a toddler. When she would meet “strangers”, she was friendly. Sweet Pea does have some skin related medical concerns that will likely be something she will need further treatment for in her adoptive home. Adopters will need to work closely with a vet to continue her skin treatment care and plan for more frequent vet visits as they get her on a regimen that keeps her skin a little more happy. If you are interested in meeting this sweet short stack – come into the Shelter today.

Story
Our sweet and adorable Bruno Bear almost didn't make it out of the shelter alive as he was scheduled to be euthanized for "aggressive behavior." We are STILL reeling over this fact. He is so beyond gentle and sweet, and (as you can see from his pics) all he wants is love and affection. Within hours of being saved from death row, he was rolling in the backyard grass at his foster home, clearly taking it all in that he had just been saved. He loves his foster sister Mochi, cheese, and going for walks. As he is only around 3 years old with no training, we are working on his leash pulling and also not jumping up when he gets too excited. He is working with a trainer weekly and is getting better every single day. He has been an excellent house guest in every way! We can't wait to find Bruno's forever home and family, this guy absolutely deserves to find his "happily ever after." Could it be with you?

Story
Foster, Adopt OR Foster-to-Adopt me! Sweet pittie Tito has beautiful eyes, a contagious grin… and a purr?   Two-year-old Tito is healthy, potty trained, walks well on leash, and loves learning new tricks. Long hikes on the weekend get Tito’s energy out, and he spends his weekdays napping on blankets near his foster mom. Tito is easy-and naturally quiet. He rarely barks, but makes piggy snorts and purrs throughout the day.  (We think he’s 1/3 dog, 1/3 cat, and 1/3 pig!)   Tito was shy when he arrived at the shelter, but warmed up with treats and attention. He  bonds tightly to any gentle person who shows him patience and love. Once you’re his person, sweet Tito enjoys giving kisses, getting couch cuddles, and making you laugh with silly bum-wiggles!    Tito loves other dogs, and easily made friends in shelter playgroups. He will be a fantastic brother for another dog.    Tito needs a dog-savvy home, ideally with a yard so Tito can roll around on the grass. (As we said - part pig.) We recommend a home without small children; Tito seems to like kids, but can be a bowling ball when he gets the zoomies. He needs a patient family that commits to positive training methods - this gentle boy needs spoiling, not discipline!   If you can give that to Tito, he will repay you with silliness, loyalty, and love.     Please help us learn more about you by filling out our online application: www.tinyurl.com/AdoptMeNow and we will arrange a meet and greet!  September 5, 2024, 12:20 am

Story
Foster to/or Adopt me!   Gorgeous Georgie will be the perfect companion for you and your fur-baby!   Georgie has beautiful hazel eyes; silky, can’t-stop-petting-them ears; a cute sploot; and a freckled snoot!  But this 1.5-year-old boy has more to offer than just his good looks.  He has heart and brains, too!   Georgie is a little shy with new people, likely due to past mistreatment.  He needs a couple of weeks to fully settle into a new home.  But all it takes to win Georgie’s trust and adoration is a little patience and kindness.  Once you’re his person, Georgie will climb into your lap for kisses and cuddles!  And if he thinks you’re sad, Georgie will wiggle on the ground until you laugh and scratch his belly!   Super-smart Georgie is already potty-trained, knows how to sit for a treat, and loves sleeping in his crate.  He learned how to walk nicely on leash just by watching other dogs!  With continued positive training, Georgie will be the most impressive dog in your neighborhood.   Georgie lights up around other friendly dogs, and would love a dog-sibling in his forever home.  He is always ready to romp and play with a new dog-friend, but knows to be gentle with smaller dogs and to take correction from his elders. He met an adult cat and kittens and he was so sweet around them, even a little worried!    Georgie even has his own Facebook page! Check it out: https://m.facebook.com/61562046697941/    We know that he is a very special boy that deserves a loving home.  If that could be with you, please fill out our online application: www.tinyurl.com/AdoptMeNow Foster-to-Adopt is an option!September 5, 2024, 12:20 am
