Story
Meet Grace ❤️ Grace is a 3 year old high energy girl looking for a very specific forever home that understands her needs and is ready to give her the lifestyle she thrives in. She came from Contra Costa Animal Shelter and has so much love to give to the right person. Grace is incredibly affectionate, loyal, cuddly, and forms very deep bonds with her people. Once she trusts you, she becomes your shadow and adventure buddy. She absolutely loves to run, hike, bike alongside you, and even use a treadmill. She would thrive with someone active who enjoys early morning hikes and outdoor adventures. Grace is dog selective and does not do well in busy social dog environments or pack settings. She can become overwhelmed meeting new dogs and would do best with someone experienced who understands strong, high drive dogs. She is not a dog that should be constantly surrounded by lots of dogs, guests, or chaos. Because of this, she would do best in a calm home with a consistent routine and limited visitors. She is e-collar trained, very food motivated, and highly intelligent. Grace needs structure, one on one attention, and someone committed to continuing to guide her so she can succeed. Underneath it all, Grace is truly a sweet dog that just needs the right environment to shine. We know her perfect person is out there. If you think you could be the right fit for Grace, please apply at LovesLegacyRescue.com 🐾

Story
Meet the happiest dog ever Bazinga!! He has been at the Milo Sanctuary for some time now and is just a sweet boy with a few quirks. He loves to go on walks and be around people. He is very people friendly. Bazinga will pull some on a leash, but when told to stop and sit he will. He loves attention and his tennis balls! Bazinga has to have at least two tennis balls - he wouldn't mind more! One quirk about Bazinga is that he is not very dog friendly- he will not be a dog that can visit a dog park or be let off leash to roam, he will need his person to have full control at all times. However he is a dog that can be around all humans! Bazinga is playful and loving. I am searching for a forever home that will love this sweet boy and accept his little quirks. Bazinga is almost 7 years old... who wants to show him a new chapter of life? Please call 707-459-4900 if you would like to meet Bazinga or have more questions.

Story
Sweet Lila has known the hardest side of life, but she’s finally getting her chance to start over. When she was found in the shelter, it was clear she had been used for breeding and neglected for years. Her teeth were in terrible shape, her body showed signs of long-term strain, and she struggled to walk comfortably due to moderate lameness. Despite it all, Lila’s gentle heart never gave up. Now that she’s safe, Lila is soaking up every bit of kindness that comes her way. She adores soft beds, belly rubs, and being told she’s a good girl because she truly is. Her favorite moments are the quiet ones, just being near the people who love her. She’s learning that the world can be gentle, and she’s blossoming more each day. Lila doesn’t need much, just a calm, loving home where she can rest, heal, and be treated like the treasured companion she’s always deserved to be. After everything she’s endured, she’s ready for the simple joys: cozy naps, short strolls, and endless affection. If you’ve ever wanted to make a difference in a dog’s life, Lila is the one. She’s waited long enough for someone to show her what love truly feels like.

Frank the Tank

English Bulldog

Male, 2 yrs
Novato, CA
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Frank the Tank is an English Bulldog with a heart as big as his sturdy, 76-pound frame. He has quite the origin story—he was recently rescued by some incredibly perceptive people off-roading in the mountains near the Rider and Barton cross streets. Left out in the middle of nowhere, someone may have sadly given up on Frank, but this resilient little guy didn't give up on himself. He survived the harsh mountain elements and is now 100% ready to trade the wild outdoors for a lifetime of pampered indoor luxury. After being left behind in the cold, Frank has decided that he belongs as close to humans as humanly possible. He completely ignores his size and firmly believes he is a 10-pound lap dog, happily parking his entire body right on your feet or leaning hard against your legs whenever you sit down. When he isn't trying to merge into your skin, Frank treats napping like a full-time profession. He has an intense love for soft blankets and memory foam dog beds, where he can be found snoring loudly enough to rattle the windows. He is strictly a low-speed, high-joy companion who prefers short, leisurely strolls to sniff the grass over any strenuous hiking, always followed by a three-hour recovery nap. Frank is officially retired from mountain life and needs a family committed to keeping him safe, cool, and comfortable indoors, especially since bulldogs are highly sensitive to heat. Because of his signature short-and-stocky build, a single-story layout or a home with minimal stairs would be the kindest choice for his joints. Frank prefers to be the undisputed king of his castle, so he is looking to be the only pet in the home where he can soak up all the undivided love he missed out on. He absolutely loves every person he meets, but because he is built like a solid little tank, he would do best in a home with sturdy children aged 8 and up who won't be easily toppled over by his enthusiastic, leaning cuddles. Despite his rough start, Frank is an absolute gentleman who is already completely house-trained and crate-trained. He is neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on all of his vaccinations. Like all English Bulldogs, his distinguished facial wrinkles require a quick, simple daily wipe to keep them clean and healthy. If you are looking for a loyal, hilarious, and deeply affectionate companion to binge-watch your favorite shows with, Frank the Tank is officially ready to roll into your home.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Espi. A Gentle Soul Learning That the World Can Be Kind. She is about 5-6 years old. She was found severely starved on an abandoned property, left to fend for herself. Despite everything she’s been through, Espi has shown us that her heart is still open. She is a very sweet girl, she just needs a little time to feel safe with new people. She is shy at first and takes some time to trust. The best way to win her over is actually to give her space and let her come to you. Fast movements toward her face or coming towards her too fast can make her nervous so patience and calm energy goes a long way with this girl. Once she realizes she’s safe, she will ask you for pets by giving you her paw. She is house trained, crate trained and does well with other dogs. While she isn’t necessarily looking for a constant playmate, she enjoys hanging out and coexisting with other dogs. Espi is very food motivated. She hasn’t quite mastered taking treats gently from your hand yet, but she absolutely loves playing catch with treats and will happily participate in a snack toss session. Because Espi is still learning to feel safe in the world, she would do best in a calm, adult only home. Older, respectful environments where people understand that trust takes time will allow her to thrive. She can live with or without other dogs. She just needs someone patient enough to let her unfold at her own pace. If you believe in giving dogs a second chance and understand the time and compassion they deserve, Espi might be the girl you’ve been waiting for.
