Story
Robbie is a young dog who is primarily composed of fluff. He's absolutely adorable. Robbie currently weighs about 35lbs and growing. He has some injuries to his back legs that don't slow him down one bit, but he'd like a home that will help him build up his muscle mass slowly and provide him with plenty of mental enrichment. He's a smart cookie who loves treats and loves to learn. Robbie is social with people and loves to make new friends. With dogs, he is initial concerned and hesitant, but with a proper slow introduction he is a classic zesty youngster. Providing him with appropriate, slow, and positive interactions with other dogs will ensure he grows up into a big confident adult. To learn more about Robbie, call our adoptions team at 707-542-0882. Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: Tan Weight: 14.1 Age: 0yrs 7mths 4wks

Story
Garen is a truly gorgeous, purebred Australian Shepherd who found himself in rescue through no fault of his own. He was surrendered by his family due to hardship, and now this handsome senior is looking for a soft place to land and a new family to love. True to the Australian Shepherd breed, Garen is intelligent, loyal, and deeply people-oriented. Aussies are known for forming strong bonds with their humans, and Garen is no exception—he’s affectionate, gentle, and happiest when he’s near his people. He previously lived in a home with small children and did wonderfully, showing his patient, trustworthy nature. At 9 years old, Garen still has plenty of love to give and brings the best qualities of the breed without the high-energy demands of a younger dog. He gets along beautifully with everyone he meets—people and dogs alike—and has an easy, friendly demeanor that makes him a joy to be around. Garen enjoys companionship, relaxed walks, and simply being part of the family. His stunning looks, soulful eyes, and calm confidence make him impossible to overlook. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion with classic Aussie intelligence and beauty, Garen is ready to be your devoted best friend. Senior dogs like Garen have so much to offer—and he’s just waiting for someone to see how special he truly is. 🐾✨

Story
Maybe is the cuddliest, most loyal girl you'll ever meet. She does great with most dogs, knows basic commands and can be taught pretty much anything, uses potty bells & understands a surprising amount of language. She’s good on a leash, a great roadtrip buddy & as active as you want her to be. Once she trusts you, she is an absolute cuddlebug. She needs a child-free, cat-free home with few visitors & someone willing to put in the time to earn her trust. She listens & does fine in a fenced yard or in a bedroom. She does great at her doggy daycare. We tried every way to make it work with our new baby, but it isn’t possible. I just know there has to be an experienced dog person out there who would make a perfect second and final home for my sweet girl. She’s very well behaved, but her challenges are new people, prey drive & some herding behavior. I’ve worked with many trainers and behaviorists (never a vet behaviorist) and would be happy to pay for more training for the right adopter.

Story
Benny is an amazing 1 year old mix of Great Pyrenees, Australian Shepherd, Siberian Husky, Border Collie, German Shepherd, Australian Cattle Dog. He is house trained, crate trained, good on leash, knows sit, stay, lay down, shake, hand touches, and off. Benny loves other dogs and would enjoy being with another dog but is good as an only dog too. He would do better with no cats but has lived with them. He knows to be gentle with kids but is still young and gets excited and jumps at times. He is not a fan of swimming and likes women more than men. He is the sweetest boy who loves to play with his toys, chew a bone, and cuddle up for a nap, with a pillow of course. He has a lot of energy and needs more attention than I can give him right now. He would love a yard to run around and play fetch in. He’s a super smart, sweet boy looking for his perfect match.

Story
Meet Wally – The Happiest Aussie Around! 🐶☀️ Wally is a jolly, joyful Australian Shepherd with a heart as big as his smile! His journey hasn’t been the smoothest—rescued from a shelter somewhere in LA, he was quickly pulled by a less-than-reputable rescue and left in boarding without a second thought. But despite the bumps in the road, Wally never let it dim his light. This boy is pure sunshine. Wally is friendly with everyone he meets—dogs, people, you name it. He’s super affectionate, loves to be near his humans, and has that lovable Aussie charm that wins hearts fast. He doesn’t bark much, he just wants to spread joy and soak up love wherever he can. Wally is also dog-friendly, making him a great fit for homes with other pups. His energy is upbeat without being over the top, and his sweet, easygoing personality makes him a dream companion. Wally’s ready for a fresh start—one where he’s truly part of a family, not just passed through. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving buddy who’ll brighten every day with a wag and a cuddle, Wally is waiting with open paws. Come meet Wally—the happy heart you didn’t know you needed. 🐾❤️

Story
From foster parent:Junior- 1.5-2 yr old Cattle dog (Kelpie?) Husky-x, neutered maleJunior appears to get along well with other dogs, understood boundaries when he played too rough and never escalated. He did show some resource guarding towards a dog when chewing a bone, but easily allowed a human to take it away without incident. He was curious about the cat, but did not exhibit any prey drive tendencies towards it. He was not exposed to livestock or chickens so approach both with caution. He does seem to prefer women to men, but only just slightly. He is not fully housebroken and settles well in a crate or ex-pen as long as he’s had some mental and physical stimulation. Junior is a smart, sensitive and inquisitive dog who will take patience and good boundary-setting to learn the rules of your house. His leash manners are improving but will need work as will his tendency to want to counter-surf. He’s been introduced to the word “off” and rewarded each time he puts four feet on the floor, so will need consistency with training to learn what’s expected of him. He just relaxed enough in our home to start playing with toys and got very bouncy and silly last night. His nervousness will subside as he gets more comfortable in your home and that will make both training and playing with him more successful. He is not in-your-face kissy but is affectionate and friendly and does enjoy companionship. Please learn about both breeds as I believe he has some of the best traits of both. Please email us if you have any questions or concerns: gjequine@gmail.com or agilhusky@gmail.com we hope you love Junior as much as we do! Ps: He is just learning his name so feel free to change it. 556
