Story
PERFECT DOG ALERT!! Adoption fee reduced for Senior love to $200 Dorothy (formerly Huckaby) – Proof That Love Changes Everything Dorothy’s journey hasn’t always been kind. She was dumped at a high-kill shelter in Stanislaus, where she quietly resigned herself to being unwanted. But her story took a beautiful turn when her incredible foster parents stepped in and gave her a brand-new leash on life (yes — we had to 😉). Since then, Dorothy has truly blossomed. She received the eye surgery she needed, was showered with love, patience, and comfort, and even formed an unlikely best friendship with a rehabilitating chicken. Somewhere along the way, Dorothy discovered the fountain of youth — and it turns out, it’s love. Now thriving, happy, and full of personality, Dorothy may not be a spring chicken… but she sure acts like one. She’s playful, affectionate, and ready to find her person — someone who will be her adventure buddy and continue showing her just how special she is. Dorothy is living proof that it’s never too late for a second chance — and she’s ready for her forever. 📍 Location: Stanislaus County, CA (currently in foster care) 🐾 Rescue: Grandma’s Barn Rescue & Sanctuary

Story
Dahlia Marie is a beautiful 7-year-old black Australian Kelpie with a gentle soul and a loyal heart. She currently lives on a ranch in Escalon and is used to having space to explore and relax. Dahlia can be a little shy around men at first, but she warms up quickly with patience and a few tasty treats. Once she feels safe, her sweet personality really shines. She is wonderful with kids and truly phenomenal with female dogs. With male dogs, she can be a bit assertive, so slow introductions or a female companion would be ideal. Her owner is facing a time-sensitive situation and needs to find Dahlia a new home before the end of the month. A loving foster home would also be a huge help while she waits for her forever family. Dahlia would thrive in a calm, understanding home where she can feel secure and loved. If you’re looking for a loyal companion and have room in your heart (or home) to help, Dahlia Marie would love to meet you. ##2629699##

Meet incredible Mojo💙, a resilient pup who's overcome adversity and is now ready to thrive😻! He's just over a year old, 50lbs, and boasts a unique appearance that's sure to captivate. With a heart of gold💛 , Mojo is one of the kindest dogs you'll ever meet, and his calm demeanor makes him a true gem💎. It's fascinating to imagine his breed mix, but one thing's certain - he's a natural-born herder with a flair for the dramatic. Mojo's piercing blue eyes, distinctive coat, and ridiculously soft fur make him a true showstopper, and his big fluff tail is the icing on the cake😍. We're utterly smitten with this charming boy!🥰 How could anyone abandon such a treasure to face an uncertain fate in a high kill shelter? We're thrilled to have saved him from euthanasia just in the nick of time, and now he's ready to find his forever home🏡 . As a neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped pup, Mojo is all set to bring joy to his new family🤩. He's fantastic with dogs of all sizes, from tiny puppies to larger companions, and he's a total loverboy at heart❤️ . Don't miss your chance to welcome this amazing pup into your life - apply now and get ready for a lifetime of love and adventure with Mojo!🐶 Currently being cared for in Southern California, Mojo can be transported to northern states such as Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, or other locations within the continental United States, where a loving family awaits to welcome him.
