Story
Cheesy is a young, smart Australian Shepherd x Pittie mix who is ready to shine in the right home. This clever boy would thrive with an experienced, active adopter who can continue his training and socialization. Cheesy's journey hasn't been easy. In the past, he was tied to a heavy chain, which made him wary of people and other dogs. But he's come a long way! Heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s extremely potty trained, knows heel, and can settle into a down position automatically if you're chatting with friends. He loves his crate and will go in on his own, especially if his bed is in it.His confidence is growing every day, and he's learning how to trust, feel love, and enjoy attention. He's highly trainable and picks up tricks quickly, making him a joy to be around.He's affectionate, loves attention, and is eager to be part of a loving home that will continue helping him build confidence and enjoy life to the fullest. All showings happen off-site with his foster, who has helped him grow into the confident, playful pup he is today. With the right adopter, Cheesy is ready to be the smart, loyal, playful companion he was always meant to be.To make an appointment to meet Cheesy, please go to yoloshelter.org/adopt.January 21, 2026, 6:48 pm

Story
I got Mayo 3 years ago and due to my job I haven’t been able to give Mayo the time and attention he deserves. Mayo is an energetic and playful dog. He is friendly and always wants to be pet. He gets along with other dogs but he does require some more training. I’m looking to get Mayo into home where he gets the time and attention he deserves.

Story
Grayson is a sweet dog who is high energy and needs someone willing to work with him. He has been through a formal training course and responds well to an e-collar and does well on a leash and in a crate. He has a smaller bladder and needs to go out several times a day or he has accidents in his kennel. We just aren’t in a great position to give him enough attention with two little kids and full time work.

Kaiyu was a stray found on the street 5 years ago. He was found to have been shot with a BB gun and still has a couple of BB pellets in him that are not safe to remove. He is very easy to train as he is highly food motivated. He knows most commands and is crate and potty trained. He is always excited to meet people and does well with other dogs. He was found to have an ear polyp in his right ear that is not bothering him and was recently diagnosed with a salivary sialocele that has been managed with steroids. He is an amazing dog that also just likes to lounge around with you all day.

Molly

Border Collie

Female, Young
Sacramento, CA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
If you love herding dogs and are looking for a velcro dog, Molly is your girl! This sweetheart is absolutely dedicated to her human. Molly will attempt to hug you every second of every minute she is with you. Trying to pick something up off the floor? Nope, you're getting smothered in kisses. Want to go to the bathroom by yourself? Uh un, no you may not shut that door without this sleek little shadow zipping in faster than lightning. Molly was brought to the shelter as a stray, and her coat and behaviors show she was out on a grand adventure for a bit. Now that she is clean and groomed, this black beauty is a cuddle bug who easily redirects from inspecting the trash. Molly needs slow introductions to other dogs and does well with submissive dogs. She does very well with redirection and distraction when she starts to get antsy around other dogs. Really, these behaviors are insecurity of her environment, but she has learned to adapt to pack life quite easily. Her herding instincts are very strong and she loves to play with the herding ball and direct the other dogs in games of chase. Molly has not been tested with cats, but she would likely chase them. She is a little nervous when loose in the car, but rides very well in her kennel. She likes to bark at grey trucks in particular. Molly is approximately 2 years old, is spayed, and is UTD on her vaccinations. She will need an active family who can give her the exercise and mental stimulation this girl needs to thrive!
