Maybe Zuma’s name should have been spelled Zoomer, because he just loves to run and play and wrestle with other pups. When he met his new mom at a park for the very first time, he actually stopped playing for a minute! He ran right up to her and licked her on the face, as […]
WILLY is adopted! Willy was surrendered at the ripe age of 12.5 years. His senior owner had become unable to care for Willy the way he deserved. We found Willy to be pretty frisky for an old guy. He could pull on his leash with the best of them, chase after squirrels, and pursue the
JADA is adopted! A job change led someone to surrender this super sweet and talented dog to the shelter. The minute she was sprung, she started making friends with everyone she met. Her first foster home fell in love with her super soft fur, her insistence on play and petting, her distain for kibble and
Reagan is as handsome as he is sweet. This 4-year old liver roan color guy got lucky, spending time in two great foster homes–first with one GSP sibling, and next with two other GSPs to show him the ropes. He quickly teamed up with his canine brother to hunt bees, and agreed to let his
Teagan came to us as a stray, and we knew immediately that this cute and spunky one-year old gal deserved a better life than one at the shelter. She was initially fearful of new situations, but soon she settled into foster care (thank you Scott and Peter, and then Carol and Mike for fostering Teagan). She
Turbo’s foster mom describes him as “stunningly handsome and a complete clown.” This silly young guy loved to play with anyone who would entertain his goofy advancements. His new family plans to spoil him with car rides, runs along a river, kayaking, and a premium spot on their king sized bed! Thanks Catherine and Mac
Miss Lady is adopted! Lady showed up as an owner-surrender, sweet and well mannered. She bonded immediately with her foster family (human and canine, young and old—thank you Lisa for fostering Lady). She enthusiastically shared toys, balls, affection, and snuggles. She found joy in simply lounging on a dog bed, or playing with her own
Petra is adopted! Petra’s forever mom must be a bit of a soft touch. She first became a “foster failure” when she was taking care of Rally. Then she decided to foster Petra, who looks so much like Rally, they could be siblings–and now they are going to be! Petra’s sweet nature, good manners and
LAYLA IS ADOPTED! If one were to draw a picture of “delight” is would look very much like our Layla. She’s ten years old and on the small side, but despite some hard knocks, her hummingbird tail never stops expressing her joy. Layla was picked up as a stray and wound up in a shelter.
Beauford came to us an anxious dog, in urgent need of a new home (thanks Kim for volunteering to foster him). He soon overcame his shyness and emerged as a playful, goofy boy, with his tongue always hanging out the side of his mouth and his whole body wagging. Young Beau seemed happiest wiggling up
Levy is adopted!! It’s hard to imagine why anyone would surrender lovely Levy. He behaved like a perfect gentleman in his foster home (thanks Cheryl and Chris), and he passed his behavioral evaluation with flying colors. Now he is settled into a new home, with a Weimaraner brother for a playmate. Handsome Levy is going
Two-year old Samantha came into rescue as a stray, with very little training and few social skills. Worse yet, she tested positive for heartworm. That meant months of arduous treatment and mandated rest—not the best start in life for a young, spirited GSP. She endured this with the loving help of her first two foster
This one year-old GSP mix is one sweet, loving boy. He came to us as a stray, but it soon became clear that he had good manners, slept well in a crate overnight, and could entertain himself with toys if there was no one around to romp with him. He is pretty calm for a
Holmes and Watson grew up in the same household, but they were found as strays in a remote area up north. We sent Watson to UC Davis for needed hip surgery and PT to repair an old injury. The two dogs were overjoyed when they were reunited! Fortunately, they found a family that wanted them
Booker is a big, goofy five year old who loves car rides and cuddling. He impressed his foster family with his house manners, even learning to use a bell to let them know when he wanted to go out. With a fun personality and good looks, it’s no wonder he turned them into Foster Failures. He’ll
