Story
Introducing Phantom! This sweet pup came into our care with his two siblings as a result of an accidental breeding. Phantom was born completely blind, but this doesn't slow him down! He is quite the gentle pup and uses those little ears of his to lead the way and he's adapted great to this new style of life. His foster let us know that Phantom has a knack for finding his way into your heart, as he'll happily sit or lay by, or even on your feet, offering a sense of comfort and warmth. His funny and playful nature will keep you entertained, and he's always up for a game of follow-the-leader, either by lead or scent. This water-loving pup is a true "water puppy," loving the joy of swimming and playing in the river. Blindness doesn't slow Phantom down; in fact, it adds to his charm and resilience. He navigates the world with grace and enthusiasm, proving that love knows no boundaries. His playful demeanor extends to other dogs, and he's known to be good with cats but would prefer a home with an experienced adult owner or a family with older children who have previously worked with special needs dogs (preferably blind dogs). His future owner would be someone who is home throughout the day with him, able to continue positive training and socialization for his safety. Pre-registration for general obedience classes is a requirement for adoption. Phantom is currently in foster care. Meet and greets can be arranged once your online application has been approved.

Story
Introducing Grace, AKA Amazing Grace! This sweet pup came into our care with her two siblings as a result of an accidental breeding. Grace was born completely deaf and blind, but this doesn't slow her down! Her amazing nose leads her on adventures out on the trail, in the mountains, and into any body of water, making her a true explorer at heart. Learning through scent and touch, Grace has adapted beautifully to her surroundings. Her ultra-sweet nature shines through, making her a joy to be around. Grace is not only super playful but also remarkably resilient, she can stand up to any dog while playing and absolutely loves a good game of tug of war. Grace's housebroken manners are impeccable, provided she knows the location of her designated potty spot and has access to the outdoors. Remarkably, she never loses her temper, showcasing her gentle and patient disposition. Grace does great with both dogs and cats, but any introductions would have to be done slowly and over time. Grace's future adopters would preferably be an experienced owner or family with older children that have previously owned a special needs animal (preferably blind or deaf). It is vital that her positive training is continued not only for her socialization but for her safety as well. There's more to Grace than just her resilience; she's a true kissy face lovebug. Her affectionate nature knows no bounds, and her presence is a heartwarming reminder that love and joy can thrive in any circumstance. Pre-registration for general obedience classes is a requirement for adoption. Grace is currently in foster care. Meet and greets can be arranged once your online application has been approved.

Hi, my name is Nyla! I really love chasing balls and playing with toys. I am a little shy right now but I promise that will change.

Hi, my name is Moon! I'm a sweet gentle girl who loves a good lap to lay on and be showered with cuddles! I'm a bit shy when I first meet new people, but I promise I'm the most loving girl once I get to know you. Since I am a bit on the shy side, I would prefer to go to a home without kids under 10 please. I also love going on walks and sniffing all the amazing nature smells. I'm currently available by appointment only. Call (831)-264-5422 to meet me and hopefully go home together! Primary Color: Merle Weight: 38.2 Age: 0yrs 10mths 2wks

Story
Buck Moon is very loving and loves to cuddle. He has a lot of energy and enjoys at least an hour of exercise every day. He loves exploring the outdoors and needs a family that enjoys taking him out to parks, on walks, hikes, runs and any other outdoor adventures. He loves being with his owner and family as much as possible. He wants to tag along on walks, car rides, and trips. He is definitely a pack animal and his pack is his human family. He is very protective and somewhat nervous around new dogs and people so he needs a patient and experienced owner that is willing to use positive reinforcement training methods. He is a purebred miniature Australian Shepard so knowledge of the breed or a willingness to learn is a must. If you are looking for a loyal and loving lifelong companion for your family, his love is unbounded and he asks for the same in return.

Story
Meet Canela! This sweet herding breed mix is looking for a breed-savvy adopter to provide above average mental and physical stimulation to keep her a happy camer. Canela’s favorite things are going for walks and playing frisbee. Canela knows “sit”, “shake” and “lie down”. An adopter that will continue bonding with her and learning through positive reinforcement based training will be best to help Canela settle into her new home and continue learning life skills. Canela has met dogs and enjoys playing but can be a bit conflicted behind barriers or on leash. Reactivity is common in dogs and can be managed through environmental set ups as well working with a positive reinforcement behavior consultant. Canela may enjoy a home with a canine companion but any resident dogs should meet at the Shelter prior to adoption. Due to some observed prey drive towards cats and squirrels, a home free of small animals is recommended to set Canela up for success. Due to some breed specific behaviors, Canela is recommended to go to a home with teens or adults only.

Story
Introducing Zaida! This sweet border collie mix came to AFRP after she was found along the side of a road where a good samaritan stopped to help her. Now, she's thriving in foster care and ready to find her forever home! Zaida is an active girl, treat-motivated and loving as can be. She's on the hunt for a home with experienced adopters who have previously owned herding breeds and understand the extensive physical and mental stimulation required to make these pups thrive! Zaida would prefer to find a home as the only pup but does well with other dogs - she loves being the center of attention! She's not an apartment pup and will require a fenced-in yard to ensure she's able to have some space to get all of that energy out! Zaida will need an adult only family, or adopters with children over the age of 8 to continue her positive training and socialization. While in our care, Zaida has been diagnosed with idiopathic head tremor syndrome (IHTS), a benign condition characterized by focal head tremors of unknown cause. While this condition is not fully understood, Zaida's continuous head and body tremors are managed as part of her unique journey. Tremors do resolve over time, but some, such as Zaida, have continuous head and body tremors. Alongside this, Zaida is currently taking long-term medication to help alleviate symptoms of anxiety, as well as OCD. Meet and greets can be arranged once your online application has been received and approved. Visit www.animalfriendsrescue.org for our required online dog application.

Story
Looks like: Border Collie Mix Female, 10 years old (estimated), 51 pounds Sweet Sasha has had a difficult past, but it's been a true joy watching her come out of her shell and show her true colors - that of a loyal, sweet and happy border collie mix. Once she has settled into your home, you will find this gentle girl right by your side (preferably on a soft doggie bed) eager for love and affection. This little lady is looking for a forever home where she can spend her years surrounded by love and support. Sasha would do best in a calm, quiet home, which likely means that young children will not be a good fit. She does well with other calm dogs she meets while out and about and may thrive while living with such a 'furiend'. She has been living harmoniously with another large and more energetic dog in her foster home. She is very patient as her foster brother runs around her and she loves to lean against you to get attention. We have not yet seen Sasha interact with kitties. Sasha had surgery in the past to remove mammary masses. She has healed well from this and her coat is growing in so gorgeous, shiny, and full! As she started feeling better, she found her voice and started to give a few barks to alert her family members of strangers. She did go through a period of nipping at strangers who approached her but has shown significant improvement on this; her foster mom still gives her room from strangers while on walks but if foster mom starts to talk with someone close by, Sasha now waits quietly. On her walks, sweet talk and a treat to redirect her attention has worked wonders for helping her feel safe while out and about. Sasha is looking for her next person/family with patience to continue to work with her on any lingering anxiety and help her gain confidence. This persevering pup was found as a stray in Modesto and came to us from Stanislaus Animal Services so we could get her the medical care she needed.
