Mo was my faithful companion and friend to many winery visitors, and he will be greatly missed. Mo came to us at the age of 5 as a rescue through the NorCal GSP Rescue organization. […]

What can we say about our old girl Roxi other than you were so very kind, loving, sweet and accepting of others whether animal or human. The little romps you would do when walking out to get the mail and the little rocking jumps and howls when following the garden tractor were way beyond cute.

He chose me. His gorgeous gray face lept out at me when I was idly looking at adoptable dogs. We’d just lost our basset hound and really, truly, we weren’t ready for another dog. Until I saw Cyrus’ face. Even now, thinking of that moment, I tear up. He was that beautiful, though he preferred

It’s hard to believe that Quinn could have become such an important part of our lives in just a few short weeks. Although he was clearly not in great shape, he wagged his tail, looked at us with total trust and gamely followed us out of the shelter and into a new life. He loved

In 4 years he taught me more than any other animal; both in medicine in how to care for senior pets, and in life. He was happy every single day, and made the most of every moment despite losing vision, hearing and mobility. He never had a bad day. He loved everyone, every animal (whether

Dallas Novak was adopted on 2/2/02 when he was 3 or 4, and was with our family for 12 1/2 years more years. He was a special beastie, and will be wagging his tail in my heart for a long time. Thank you for all you do to find forever homes for these sweet dogs.

Ernesto came to us (his third family at least) as a foster named Dougal. The small guy had Arthritis and could barely stand, was nearly blind, effectively deaf and had other medical issues, but always followed like a duckling when someone headed to the kitchen.

It is with great sadness (and disbelief) that I say goodbye to my jolly, clumsy, always-loving dog Webber. Just two weeks ago he was diagnosed with gastric carcinoma (stomach cancer) – a cancer that unfortunately in dogs doesn’t always show symptoms. I am running on empty right now, reeling from not having my buddy here

Huck was a great dog, very therapeutic for Al, he was very devoted and loving with the strong will to live and pull through so many surgeries. He was about 12 years old. He gave and gave to us! Loved rocks, silly boy. After we adopted him, he had his mouth done, and then major

Sometimes things end happily in a different way. Lassen came to us with a broken leg after being found by firefighters in the wilderness. She was thin and looked like she’d been on her own for a bit. There was surgery, recovery, more surgery, more recovery. A fellow called us after seeing her posting online.
Today we put our sweet dog Tanner to sleep. He had a very rare and aggressive cancer called histiocytic sarcoma which had metastasized in his lung and in his groin. We tried chemo but it did not make him feel very good so we decided to let the illness run its course instead of putting him through
