Tyler had such a presence. The true definition of a handsome, nimble, and instinct-driven dog. Literally would fly up our stairs without making a sound, leaving you wondering where he went. Although a mix, he was pure GSP when it came to our backyard and squirrels and the local fox family living in our neighbor’s […]

Chuck came into our lives in November 2007. He wasn’t very domesticated when he came to us. Close as we can figure, he was a ranch dog who never came inside until he was rescued. And that certainly showed! But he learned about being a family dog: patient with children who wanted to touch his

When skinny Trapper came into rescue he had spent all of his three years living at a kennel. His foster family found him to be a shy scaredy-cat who was afraid even to make eye contact with anyone. After they gave him a huge dose of love, attention, training and treats, he began to emerge
Sweet Abbie waited a while for the right adopter to come along and now she’s hit pay dirt. This adorable 6 year old girl acts more like she’s 2 – curious, loves toys, plays with other dogs, is affectionate and cuddly with people. Thank you to Barbara & Keith for fostering her, and Anne for
Elmer showed up at the Modesto shelter as a stray, with a cough and an ugly neck wound. Though seven years old, he seemed to have had very little training. It was clear he hadn’t been on a leash or in a car or in a house before, so his foster home had its challenges.
Little Daisy is beautiful and smart and cuddly, but a bit of a handful. She wants a LOT of exercise and mental stimulation. She does not like to be crated, and she suffers separation anxiety when left alone. Fortunately for Daisy, she has landed in the perfect situation to meet her needs–an extended family where
Ranger, now Charlie, came into rescue half wild-child and half love-bug! He spent a few days with his temp foster home after being sprung from the shelter (thank you Miranda and Josh) and then went on to yes, you guessed it, his next foster home and soon-to-be forever home (thank you Steve and Jola)! Now
Sometimes things are just meant to be! Deja’s new family initially contacted us about another dog but that dog already had a home lined up. A few weeks after that, they filled out our volunteer form (thank you Judith and Tasia) and when Deja needed a foster spot, they were ready. Of course it wasn’t
Rolf (now Otis) was confused and frightened when he first came into our care–unsure of everyone and everything. He was wary, but our experienced fosters knew how to win him over (thanks Doug & Janelle, Patty, and Joan & Dan). Soon he was cuddling and asking for belly rubs and treats. He learned to love
