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!

Story
2 yr old tricolor M/N Kelpie/GSD mix Looking for a dogs dog?? Gunner is your guy! He was comfortable enough around me, allowed touch, took treats, interacted some with me, but he really really wanted to play with the big dog in the next yard. He wasn't aloof though! Took treats gently, eager to please and loved being called a good boi, it was a fun yard time for both us us He does seem to be feeling the stress from the shelter, some have had some trouble getting him out of his kennel but he was perfectly behaved for me. This is an active breed, he will need consistent physical and mental exercise to be happy, it is likely what is causing his current stress and occasional barrier reactivity. It is worth noting that he was a very loud bork monster when I first approached his kennel but after 3 treats he was ready to follow me anywhere I was going Knows how to sit, walks well on the leash (just a tiny bit of pulling) and seemed potty trained!! ##2528145##

Story
Ceasar is a 15mth old altered male kelpie mix Ceasar Hey, I’m Ceasar. I’ll be real with you — I’m still figuring this whole “new people” thing out. Meeting strangers makes me nervous, and if I feel cornered, I might snap. But here’s the thing: once I get to know you and trust you, my softer side comes out, and I can relax and be myself. The good news? I get along with dogs way easier than I do with people! They help me feel comfortable and confident. With patience, training, and someone willing to go slow, I know I can keep improving just like I did with my foster. If you’re the type of person who believes in second chances and helping an underdog shine, I’d love to be your project pup and, eventually, your best friend. ##2498991##

Story
Snickers is a 4yo 45lb neutered male Kelpie/McNab cattledog. He’s passive, and sweet and loving with people, is ok around cats, but would do best living as an only dog or female dogs (he’s a bit pushy with males). He’s cratetrained and wants to please his person. He needs an active home.   He walks nicely on a leash and picks up new commands quickly—he knows how to sit , stay and lie down. He looks forward to his daily walks with great excitement and starts each day with renewed excitement.  Please contact Diana at (510) 333-4420 or theperfectdogrescue@gmail.com or fill out the adoption application:  http://www.theperfectdog.org/TPDadoptapp.doc February 4, 2026, 4:25 pm

Story
Bella is a young (0-1 year old) female Australian Cattle dog mix. She is kind and gentle and loves to go on walks! She's good with other dogs and also wants to meet them. I found this wonderful girl on the side of the highway in Los Banos. After calling a local farming business near where I found her I found out that she was a stray in the area that they would feed when their office was open. However, at night and on the weekends she was completely homeless and no one would take care of her. For now, my parents are fostering her and are giving her tender love and care! Unfortunately they are getting older and its difficult enough for them to take care of their own dogs. I'm looking for a new home for her where she would get lots of love. Please contact me if you're interested, thank you!

Story
Casca is a very happy Australian Heeler, she absolutely loves people and is very loyal. She was on the euthanasia list because her front leg has a scar from being broken while homeless. Despite that she was so happy to see every person wagging her tail no matter how scared she actually was. She is very appreciative of everything you do for her. She's not protective of food with people. Her first week my 2yo crawled into her crate while she was eating and wasn't upset in the least She's an Australian Heeler, cattle dog, and has their traits

Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
She is a 14-week-old female Heeler × McNab mix, originally raised in a farm environment. She is smart, alert, and quick to learn. She has received her first round of vaccinations, with the second round scheduled soon. She has a consistent nighttime routine and can sleep in her crate from 11:00 pm to 6:30 am without barking overnight. She is doing well with potty training, using pee pads with about 70% accuracy, and has normal bowel movements. She already understands basic cues like “sit” and going back to her crate. We are looking for a stable, experienced home, preferably familiar with working breeds, that can provide structure, patience, and long-term commitment. She would do best in a calm, consistent environment where she can continue to grow and learn
