Story

Caesar: A Loyal Heart Seeking a Patient, Understanding Home. Hello! My name is Caesar, and I'm a handsome Shepherd (and maybe Husky!) mix, estimated to be 1.5 years old and weighing 55 lbs. I was neutered in March. I was found in Fresno, California, and didn't have much exposure to the world before coming into rescue. Because of this, I can be quite fearful and reactive towards new people and other dogs. I need a truly understanding and patient adopter who is committed to helping me feel secure and confident. While I haven't had much early socialization or training, I'm a quick learner and brave. I'm surprisingly house-trained and do very well inside the home once I understand the routine. I've already made excellent progress in my foster home, showing that with consistency and the right environment, I can continue to blossom. I'm a truly wonderful companion. I'm a fast learner and quickly accept and respect new things or people once I'm familiar with them. I've learned to sit politely for what I want and will even show you to my leash when it's walk time! I love walks and would make a great hiking buddy. My foster mom says I'm pretty strong – it must be the Husky in me! I wear a prong collar for walks, but I'm learning good leash manners. I also have a strong prey drive and am diligent about pursuing squirrels in the yard – this bodes well for your garden this summer! Initially, I was pretty reactive to vehicles passing by, particularly loud trucks or fast- moving cars. I have spent lots of time desensitizing and am much less concerned with cars on the road. Turns out, I happen to love riding in the car! I will very willingly “load up” and then enjoy the views and fresh air with my head out the window. The Shepherd in me loves to please, and I pick up new tricks quickly. I already know SIT, DOWN, and SHAKE, and we're working on STAY. I'm still a bit of a puppy at heart, playful with my toys (stuffed animals, ropes and things I can swing around are my favorite) and I’m always up for a good roll in the grass. I will patrol the yard, but generally refrain from barking at passersby. Even with yard access, I prefer being with my people if they are indoors. I like to lounge on the bed while you get ready for the day. And once I get to know you, I’ll snuggle with you on the couch. What I Need in a Home Due to my fear-based aggression, I need a home without small children. I could enjoy sleeping in on the weekends with a teenager who enjoys canine companionship. I’ve never been around a cat but would likely be inclined to chase them. I need a home with a secure yard and will always need to be on leash and harness when outside of the home.

Peanut Butter

Australian Kelpie

Female, Puppy

San Jose, CA

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Peanut Butter is adorable, sweet, playful and very energetic dog! She loves to play outside and love cuddles and hugs! We adopted her in April and she is been super spoiled since then but unfortunately my special needs son had a seizure, a hospitalization and lots of complications after that. Our family is struggling with my son's situation and our sweet pet is not getting the care she needs and wants. Because of that complex situation, we don't have conditions to keep Peanut Butter. We are facing a hard family time and she deserves more attention that we are able to give her now. She still needs to be trained but she is doing a great job potty training. If you wants a lovely dog who loves kids and play, she is your girl!

Rosita

Australian Cattle Dog Mixed Breed (Medium)

Female, 11 mos

Oakland, CA

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Rosita! Rosita is a smart, playful, and affectionate girl who’s ready to charm her way into your home and heart. She's currently potty-trained, though still learning to signal when it's time to go outside—she’s making great progress with positive reinforcement! Training & Skills: Rosita is a quick learner and knows lots of commands including “sit,” “down,” “wait,” “come,” “paw,” “touch,” “leave it,” and “look.” She’s working on loose leash walking and doing great! Highly food-motivated (especially for salmon treats or crunchy chicken chips), she also enjoys puzzle toys, sniff mats, and Kong balls that challenge her brain and keep her busy. Personality & Play: This girl LOVES to play! She enjoys fetch and is a big fan of her jolly ball. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs—particularly those her size—and is full of energy for play sessions and running around. Rosita is also very affectionate and adores belly rubs and cuddle time. Social Skills: Rosita is friendly with people and loves to make new friends. She’s still learning not to jump up when she’s excited and may nip at clothing when overstimulated—but she responds well to training and gentle redirection. She’s good with kids, though she should be monitored around younger ones as her excitement sometimes gets the best of her. Lifestyle & Routine: Rosita is crate-trained and currently enjoys a very active lifestyle—about 3 hours of walk/run time daily plus an hour of independent play. She would thrive with an active adopter who can match her energy and continue her training journey. If you’re looking for a bright, eager-to-please pup who’s equal parts cuddly and fun, Rosita might just be your perfect companion! (KH) Rosita weighs 37 pounds.

Story

I am in a foster home and not at the shelter. If you are interested in adopting, submit an adoption questionnaire by email. Learn more hereAt just 1 year old and 40 pounds, Carmine is a great mix of playful pup and gentle soul. He's shy at first, but once he feels safe, you’ll quickly discover the sweetest, most loving companion. Carmine's foster family reports he's always ready for snuggles, playtime, or showing off new tricks. On walks, Carmine can be a little too excited, but with guidance and patience, he’s eager to keep learning and growing. He's crate-trained, potty trained, sleeps through the night, and is content hanging out solo for a few hours—calm, cool, and collected when it matters most. Carmine has come a long way on his journey and is still building his confidence. Treats (his love language!) and gentle encouragement go a long way. He’ll thrive in a patient, loving home with positive reinforcement and a resident canine sibling to help show him the ropes. Carmine is ready to find his person, someone who sees his potential and can give him the safe, supportive home he deserves.
