Story
Rocky is a handsome Australian Shepherd with a tender heart and a story of resilience. Having come from an abusive past, Rocky needs time, patience, and understanding to build trustâ&#194&#128&#194&#148but once that bond forms, it is incredibly rewarding. He has been thriving in his foster home for the past two and a half months, where consistent care has helped him come out of his shell. While he may be timid when meeting new people, Rocky is a true sweetheart who blossoms with a calm, gentle approach and will need a slow, relationship-focused adoption process.In his foster home, Rockyâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s wonderful personality shines. He is intelligent, loyal, cuddly, playful, and deeply devoted to the people he trusts. Rocky is highly treat and affection motivated and is already learning commands like sit and (lay) down. He is crate trained and mostly house trained, does well on road trips, and continues to make steady progress with walking nicely on a leash. Rocky enjoys engaging with his people and takes pride in pleasing them, making him a great companion for someone who appreciates a smart dog eager to learn and connect.Rocky does well with his female foster dog friend, happily sharing toys and space without any signs of aggression, though his comfort with male dogs is unknown. Rocky has lived with 4 cats, but he does tend to chase them. He has never hurt them. We recommend a very slow introduction with proper training so both Rocky and the cats can be comfortable in the home. True to his herding instincts, Rocky enjoys keeping watch over his home, alerting to visitors with a strong bark and shooing wildlife off of the property without aggression. He has done well meeting visitors and often relaxes enough to accept pets or share the couch, with time. Rocky prefers the company of teens or adults, has limited experience with young children, and would thrive in a home with a securely contained large yard or property where he can safely explore and feel at ease. If you are interested in committing to the gradual adoption process Rocky requires, his foster family is available to facilitate the multiple in-home meetings he may need. Rocky will need time to become comfortable, build trust, and form a connection through several visits. If this is something you are willing and able to pursue, please contact El Dorado County Animal Services (530) 621-5795January 20, 2026, 2:58 pm

Story
LOCATED IN SACRAMENTO, CA Gus is about 4 years old. Hes approximately 60 pounds. He has had no ailments or contact with sick dogs. He was left behind by his owner after a breakup and is now in our care. I am helping a friend rehome as they are no longer able to keep him due to recent medical changes. Hes a remarkable dog. Too much to say in a few words. Hes good with kids and loves other dogs, fine with cats but certainly interested in them. He loves to run, play and be crazy, but is also more than happy cuddling on the couch with you. Some fun quirks he has, is that he will sniff his butt every time you lift his tail, and he will always chase you if you run in the opposite direction. Would do best with other dogs, a yard or farmland Let me know if he sounds like a good fit! He could use a gentle introduction to a new home, as this will be his 2nd rehoming in the last 2 years due to no fault of his own, the current owners reached out so they can avoid surrendering him to a shelter.

Story
Meet Dutch🤎, a stunningly handsome and charming almost 2-year-old boy with a rich, chocolate-brown coat and captivating blue eyes that sparkle with kindness🥰. This loving boy was welcomed into a wonderful family in the San Diego area about 8 months ago. Initially, Dutch was more reserved and fearful when rescued from the shelter, but with time, he blossomed into a confident companion for his family, except for the husband, around whom he seems anxious and stressed. Despite the husband's patient and loving approach, Dutch remains wary, prompting his family to consider finding a new home where he can thrive without fear. With his current family, Dutch has formed strong bonds with the wife and kids, who adore him dearly, but they've come to realize that a woman-only household might be the perfect solution for Dutch to live a stress-free life. His family believes Dutch may have had a negative experience with a man in the past, which has led to his hesitation around men unless they exhibit familiar characteristics. Importantly, Dutch has never shown aggression and is great with cats and other dogs, making him an excellent addition to any household. He's potty-trained, crate-trained, and loves spending time in his crate and bed. Dutch is neutered, vaccinated, and chipped, and his current family is heartbroken but hopeful that he'll find a loving home🏡 where he can receive all the love and care he deserves. If you're thinking of adding a loving companion to your family and believe you'd be the perfect match for Dutch, get your application in ASAP! This gorgeous boy will undoubtedly capture your heart💗with his loving nature.😻 Currently being cared for in Southern California, Dutch 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.

Story
📣Border collie lovers, meet our tiny super gorgeous Milky Way🐶, a shining star✨ who's ready to light up the life of her forever family! She's just barely a year old and about petite 28lbs little cutie pie 🥰. This sweet girl was on the euthanasia list at the shelter for being terrified, but we knew she deserved a second chance, and now she needs a miracle worker to help her blossom🌸 . As of now, she just wants to hide in the corner and withdraw from people, and doesn't even try to interact with other dogs, but we know that with patience, love, and care, she'll come out of her shell and shine✨ . A doggie savvy person with timid doggie experience would be her perfect match, but we're confident that her happy loving home🏡 is out there, waiting to welcome her with open arms🤗 . She never shows a trace of aggression, but this poor sweet girl seems terrified of humans, even after being rescued, but we know that time, love, and decompression from the trauma of her previous life, including the horrors of doggie jail, will help her heal and show her she's safe and very loved💓. She lets us give her pets, and that's a great start! Milky Way deserves to live a life filled with joy, love, and adventure, and we're hoping there's a wonderful foster or adopter out there who's willing to provide the love, kindness, and patience she needs to become the happy-go-lucky girl she's meant to be💖! Please reach out if you'd love to meet our girl, get your application in ASAP, and get ready to witness her amazing transformation! How exciting it would be!🤩 Currently being cared for in Southern California, Milky Way 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 the sweet little girl.

Get ready to welcome a bundle of joy into your life! Meet 🩵Nero🩵, our newly rescued 1-year-old border collie boy, bursting with 55lbs of vibrant energy and love💕 ! He was surrendered to the shelter alongside his sister, but when she found her forever home, Nero was left behind, landing him on the kill list due to limited space. Fortunately, we sprang into action and rescued him from the brink! This sweet boy is a social butterfly, thriving on love and interaction with dogs and people alike. As a puppy, he's got boundless enthusiasm, so an active person or family who can keep up with him would be perfect. With obedience training, he'll polish up nicely, and his treat-motivated nature will make learning a breeze. Boasting a stunning coat and soulful brown eyes, Nero is an absolute love bug😻, craving human attention. Best of all, he's already neutered, chipped, and vaccinated, ready to embark on his forever journey!
