Story

Happy is the sweetest boy. We pulled him at the last minute when he was about to be euthanized. Proved to be kid - cat - dog - people friendly, Happy was fostered to adopt to a person who mis-represented themselves to our rescue and Happy was the one who suffered. He was brought to the person as a perfect little man, but when we were able to get him back, he didn't even know his name! We think the person just left him on his own in the backyard..TOTALLY AGAINST REUNION RESCUE REGULATIONS!! The person in question even kept the toys and gift box filled with doggy starter leashes, collars, halters, balls, a Topple toy and Kongs among other things. We are looking for a great loving home where Happy can learn to be happy again. He is in foster care and loves going to the beach. Reunion Rescue has re-furnished him with new halters, collars, leash and toys. This time, we are looking for a home with lots of love for a little man who deserves so much more than he had at the former place. Help us undo the wrong placement and help put a smile back on Happy's little face! We have a great foster to adopt program and a wonderful holistic care that lasts the long long life of every Reunion Rescue pet...no more huge vet bills! Give us a call today and let's set up a meet and greet with Happy.

Story

7:15 M 44 Are you looking for a dog friend for your dog? Then Koa is your man! He absolutely loves other dogs and enjoys playtime. He is incredibly dog social with dogs big or small. SPECIAL FOSTER or home NEEDED for a very special pup. Koa is a cattle dog mix, who is two years old. In his foster home, he is mostly confident, although he can still get spooked by sudden movements and loud noises. He loves to play constantly with other dogs. He can be too much for small dogs, but he does well with confident, developed younger dogs. Koa would do best in a country or rural area that is quiet without too much stimulation. Unfortunately, outside of the home, he is insecure. We are seeking a home or foster who is experienced in helping a very shy and anxious dog come out of his shell and has the patience and time to work with him on building his confidence. Koa has become very affectionate with his foster mom, and he has been good with all the dogs that have come through his foster home. He is crate trained and good in the house. If you are interested in meeting please fill out an application at our website: www.gobeyondrescue.org/adopt Our adoption fee is $550 and includes spay/neuter, microchipping and up to date vaccines. We adopt within 200 miles of San Francisco.

To be considered for adoption, pls submit an application in advance. Adoption fee: $650 Meet Bright — a gentle 5–6 month old ACD/Shepherd mix with a soft spirit, a sweet heart, and the makings of a truly devoted companion. Bright weighs about 18–20 pounds and came to rescue with his sister Merry. Bright has been blossoming at his own pace — and watching that transformation has been one of the most rewarding parts of fostering him. A Quiet, Sensitive Soul Learning to Shine When Bright first arrived, he was so frightened that he clung to his foster for comfort, unsure of the world around him. Today, he has made tremendous progress. He now follows his foster gently from room to room, curls up beside her during the workday, and checks in with soft eyes to make sure he’s still close to his person. He’s a classic little velcro dog who enjoys companionship and feels most secure when he can keep his trusted human in sight. Bright isn’t a natural cuddler yet — he prefers to quietly settle next to you or rest at your feet — but he gladly melts in for head rubs and chin scratches once he feels safe. His sweetness is unmistakable. Daily Routine & Good Manners Bright starts his day early with a 6 a.m. potty trip in the backyard, then tucks back in for more sleep until around 8 a.m. He enjoys a couple of short walks each day, plus backyard potty breaks every few hours. He’s been improving steadily with housetraining and usually goes in the yard where he feels comfortable. He’s still working up the courage to potty on walks, but he’s trying hard and happily celebrates with a “puppy party” when he succeeds. He eats two small meals per day (½ cup AM and PM). Because he was initially scared around food, he often prefers to finish his meals when no one is watching — but he’s gaining confidence daily and now enjoys treats, training games, and chewing a cow’s ear while relaxing. Bright is wonderfully polite: he doesn’t bark, doesn’t jump on furniture, waits patiently at doorways, and rides calmly in the car in his crate with his cushy liner. He sleeps quietly at night on his chosen cozy spot (currently a handmade felted purse he flattened into a self-made bed!). Training & Emerging Playfulness Bright LOVES training games. He proudly knows Touch, Find It, and Leave It, and responds to his name with enthusiasm. These little wins have been huge for his confidence. While toys are still a bit new and intimidating, he’s slowly exploring them — nibbling on tags, investigating Lambie, and watching with interest. Because he listens closely, wants to please, and is incredibly gentle, he will be a joy to continue training as he grows braver. Out and About Bright walks well on his harness, stays close, and doesn’t pull. He’s afraid of loud noises (leaf blowers, squeaky shoes, sudden sounds) and can be nervous when cars pass, but he recovers and keeps trying. He doesn’t react to other dogs — he simply watches calmly and keeps moving. He’s also gone on several weekend adventures, from outdoor breakfasts to strolls through downtown San Carlos and even to a knitting shop in San Jose. He stays close to his foster’s feet, quietly taking in the world without begging or fussing. Why Bright Is So Special Bright is the kind of dog who quietly wins your heart. He tries so hard to be good, listens beautifully, and has a sweetness that shines through even when he’s unsure. His pretty ACD-style spotting, his attentive nature, and his soft, expressive face make him unforgettable. As his foster says, “He just wants to do the right thing all the time.” Bright is ready for a family who can help his confidence continue to grow and who will treasure the sweet, sensitive companion he is. Whoever adopts him is going to be very lucky. December 14, 2025, 4:46 pm
