Kato – passed away August 2019
It is with deep sorrow that I announce the passing of our Kato (formally Romeo, adopted 2012). We were fortunate enough to have adopted him and have him part of our family. Kato was a “ gentle giant.” He was shy and subdued when we brought him home, but we were fortunate enough to watch

Vera – passed away June 26, 2019
Vera passed on June 26, 2019, about 3:45, in her favorite chair, at home. Estimated to be 15/16 years of age. A great friend and companion, she always wanted to be where the people were. It was easy to forget she wasn’t a human. Her favorite things were lying in the sun by the back

Louie – passed away May 2019
Louie was about the most special dog I ever had. He was unique in every way. He and I had a special bond that will last forever in my memory. I was only blessed to share his last year of his approximately nine years on this earth but I cherish every minute. I first met

Juanna – passed away May 19, 2019
Juanna, nicknamed Tilly, came to the Rescue a mess. She had been rescued by a Good Samaritan after Tilly, a sick, malnourished senior stray reduced to scavenging around a dumpster, warmed her heart. The Rescue and her foster home stopped at nothing to make the remainder of her life pain-free, with a cushioned bed of

Callie – passed away week of March 25, 2019
We wanted to let you know we lost our sweet Callie last week because of a broken leg due to cancer. We adopted Callie almost three years ago and she was the perfect dog for us. She taught us how to be empty nesters. She enjoyed backyard hunts with her dad and after-work walks with

Black Betty (formerly Rita) – passed away March 9, 2019
This weekend we had to say goodbye to Betty. She came to us from NorCal GSP Rescue. We named her Black Betty after the song by Ram Jam because she was the recessive black color, not the typical copper brown. She has the softest ears like a seal pup. Our first meeting she stood straight

Bandit – passed away February 18, 2019
Today we said goodbye to our sweet dog Bandit. It’s never easy saying goodbye and this was especially hard because from the first day I met Bandit, we had a strong connection immediately and he has been very special to me for the last almost 6 years. At our first meeting, he came up and

Duke – passed away December 28, 2018
My husband and I wanted to let the rescue group know that “Duke” (adopted Dec. 2015) has been a loving and wonderful companion, and while he has been in hospice care for over the last year the hard decision has come. Duke was the sweetest boy and always seemed to have his head against us. He

Daisy Mae – passed away December 2018
With an extremely heavy heart, I wanted to let you know that I had to say goodbye to sweet daisy after over three years with her. She had a tumor on her spleen burst which turned out to be cancerous. We underwent emergency surgery and she was with me and happy for two months following

Axel – passed away November 2018
I am writing to let you know that Axel has passed away. We adopted Axel from NorCal 6 or 7 years ago after he had been in foster homes for 2+ years and you were getting desperate to find a home for him – mostly because he did not get along well with other dogs.

Ruth – passed away November 24, 2018
I’m convinced that Ruth found us . . . A friend of a friend followed a dog rescue in Sonora CA that I became aware of through social media. I started following them. Months later, a courtesy posting with Ruth’s picture appeared. She was beautiful! The owner was moving and could not take 11-year-old Ruth

August – passed away November 14, 2018
Augie was a senior dog when we adopted him, at least 10, but with the behavior of a dog much older, and we guessed having lived outside or on his own for a good period of time. He had an eye injury and was neutered just before he came to us, so he was not

Sancho (formerly Spot) – passed away October 25, 2018
I lost my beloved Sancho on October 25th and life will never be quite the same again. I didn’t choose Sancho. He chose me – by jumping in my forerunner at the end of our first visit. “Time to go home!” he seemed to say. Sancho taught me the true power of devotion and love.

Said goodbye to an amazing friend today. We’ll miss you, Bennett. You got us into a ton of fun and helped us learn a lot about ourselves. Thank you. We had some great adventures and we’ll never forget you. We’ll see you in another life. RIP Bennett. We fell in love with Bennett the moment we

Ace – passed away September 4, 2018
It has been a really sad time for us as we lost our sweet Ace on Tuesday. We had been treating Cushing’s disease and last year he had a malignant Melanocytic tumor removed from his mouth. Even with these issues, he persevered and beat the odds. When we adopted him at 14, we thought we

Suzie – passed away July 2, 2018
I accidentally came across petfinder.com while getting shelter information for my sister. I wasn’t looking for another dog, but I typed in “german shorthaired pointer.” Several listings came up, but one really caught my eye. I saw a scared little girl in a big chair. Her story went something like this: “My name is Suzie.

Tyler – passed away June 24, 2018
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 – passed away June 2018
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

Abbie
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
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.
Daisy
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
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
Deja
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
Miles (formerly Andretti) – passed away May 2018
We are heartbroken at having to say goodbye to Miles. We had him for 10 fun-filled years and to this day, it’s still hard to believe that someone didn’t turn over every corner of the earth to get him back. He was an incredible dog and we were so lucky to have him in our

Dear Patterson, It is with sad hearts and deep regret that we said goodbye to you yesterday our “big guy” and beloved family member. Back in August of 2008 they all thought I was crazy when I thought we needed a friend for Lizzie. You had come to NorCal GSP Rescue group after an accident

Buckley – passed away April 2018
We are saddened to share that last week Travis and I gained a guardian angel. Buckley (Class of 2016) had two very spoiled retirement years with us (though it seemed like many more) before losing his battle to nasal tumors/cancer at age 11. He loved his routine, long walks with me, grass, tennis balls, “playing
