Story
Abby is an energetic Siberian husky and Australian Shepherd mix. She is sweet with dogs and people. She is 3 years old. I got her at the Bradshaw dog shelter. I am giving her up because I live in an apartment and she needs a place with a yard she needs to go outside. Her favorite activity is to go for a walk. She would be great for a family and she is spayed. She is a high spirited dog lots of energy. But when it is hot outside she lays down and is very still. She is sweet but she will make a great watchdog.

Story
Cheesy is a young Australian Shepherd x Pittie mix who is as smart as he is charming. He is an active, thoughtful dog who will do best with an experienced adopter ready to continue his training and help him keep building confidence. His early life was marked by significant neglect. He was originally found stray in April 2025 with a heavy chain on his neck and a thick wire wrapped around his muzzle, trauma that understandably left him cautious and unsure for a time. Since then, he has made tremendous progress and continues to show just how adaptable and resilient he is. He is fully potty trained, walks nicely at heel, and has great natural manners. He will often settle into a down position on his own while you are standing around chatting, and is very comfortable with his crate. Cheesy is highly trainable, loves to learn, and genuinely enjoys engaging with his people. He is affectionate, attentive, and eager to be part of a stable home where he can continue to thrive. He currently needs an adults-only home as the only pet. With the right match, Cheesy has everything it takes to be an incredibly loyal, fun, and rewarding companion. To set Cheesy up for success, all appointments are scheduled off-site with his primary handler. Email adopt@yoloshelter.org to set up an appointment!February 17, 2026, 4:36 pm

Story
Junco was found stray covered in mud in the outskirts of Woodland. He had no identification or microchip and no one has come to claim him. He can be a bit shy when we try to leash him for walks but his love for treats always wins him over and he cooperates so gently.He is built like a jumbo Australian Shepherd with just a little nubbin for a tail, but has the size and floof of a Great Pyrenees. He has an EXCELLENT `heel` on walks with zero pulling. He even slows down to match your pace and will sometimes even press his big floofy body against your legs during the walk.Junco is somewhat alert when he sees other dogs and turkeys when walking around the shelter, but he has not barked and does not try to pull or lunge. Instead, he presses closer to you to make sure everyone is OK before continuing on his walk.Schedule an appointment to meet Junco at yoloshelter.org/dogs or email adopt@yoloshelter.orgFebruary 17, 2026, 4:36 pm

Story
Meet Russell Russell is an absolute sweetheart with a calm, loving personality and wonderful house manners. He enjoys playing with the other dogs each morning and evening, and during the workday he’s perfectly content to relax quietly at your feet. On days when his foster works in the office, Russell settles comfortably in his crate for a full workday and does very well. He is fully housebroken and sleeps peacefully either in his crate or cuddled up on the bed. Russell especially loves curling up beside you at night and will happily snuggle close—sometimes climbing on top of you in the morning when he’s ready to start the day. Russell is neutral and appropriate with other dogs. He shows curiosity toward cats and squirrels, but he is responsive to redirection and continues to improve his focus on walks. He walks nicely on a loose leash and responds well to gentle guidance that helps set a calm tone at the start of the walk. This confident (but not pushy) boy has lovely manners around the home. He sits quietly at the door, waits to be invited inside by name, and is learning to maintain his doorway boundaries even when visitors arrive. He may give a brief alert bark if someone approaches the fence or rings the doorbell, but he is otherwise quiet and relaxed indoors. Russell already understands sit, down, and stay with hand signals and is beginning to learn verbal cues. He is a smart, eager dog who will continue to blossom with consistency and love. Overall, Russell is a gentle, affectionate companion who would thrive in a home looking for a loyal cuddle buddy with great potential and a sweet heart Interested in adopting?
