Story
Escanor is a strikingly handsome brown Boxer who is sure to turn heads and steal hearts with his expressive eyes, proud stance, and gentle demeanor. Lucky for you, this loyal guy is eager to find a forever family who will appreciate his loving nature and share in his adventurous spirit. If you're looking for a devoted friend who will stay by your side through thick and thin, Escanor is ready to be your brave and loving companion. He's more than just a handsome face; he's a loyal friend with a heart of gold, ready to bring joy, laughter, and loyalty to his new home. Here's some notes from his foster: Escanor is such a loving, trusting, eager to please darling of a boy. I'm honestly, beyond smitten with him and totally in love. It's been heartening for me to be able to work diligently with Escanor to facilitate his blossoming into an even more trusting and joyful pup who has a little more internal space and capacity, to relax his fears/anxieties and move beyond his past towards a brilliant next chapter! It's so heart-warming for me to be able to nurture this sweet pup, work with him on some new tricks for old dogs; and help him find some peace, comfort, and love as he prepares for his forever home. I'm very committed to Escanor and his progress, and I feel like we've become a great team. And as these angels do, he's also teaching ME all the lessons and skills I need to be working on (LOL, there are many)! At baseline, when he is in his indoor safe space (he LOVES arriving back home from being out!) and has his Person/People with him and settled-in, he's quite relaxed and calm, very affectionate and docile, and even-tempered mellow. A total easy-peasy boy and a mushy love bug! WALKS/EXERCISE: We do a short walk first thing in the morning as soon as he wakes up. Then a longer walk in the afternoon. An hour, minimum. Though he'll gladly chill around the house, he actually has a LOT of energy (as per boxers!!) and he's a lot happier/less anxious when he's had a good amount of exercise. Another evening walk (usually 20-30 minutes) anywhere between 7-9PM. At home, he will engage with toys (mostly rope toys, animal squeaky sort-of toys, etc.) to some extent, which can help exert some energy and give him some stimulation. BEHAVIORAL: Leash-Reactivity: Escanor has some reactive to other dogs while out on walks, on-leash, especially larger dogs. He is quite proactively defensive, as soon as he sees another dog (a block away, on other side of street, etc.). You will feel his posture tense and clearly see him visually become drilled-in on the other dog. When approaching corners, I always lead first and give him a very short lead on the leash (and stay to the far side away from the building) and generally just avoid highly-trafficked streets for our city walking. I have been mostly taking him to GGP, Ocean Beach, or to more spacious areas in Marin the last 1.5 weeks, for more dog-free, low-stimulus space to exercise and walk him. The nature smells are very enriching for him, too. We're also working on clicker training in regards to the leash reactivity, which he's slowly picking-up. Essential to use the EasyWalk harness and not clip leash to collar. Must be on-leash at all times, even in park, etc. given the very proactive dog-reactivity. BATHROOM: Very good in regards to no accidents...typically takes a few moments to go, once we set out on a walk. SLEEP: He's a pretty deep sleeper and quick to fall into a slumber! However, if you get up from your stationary, seated or lying position for a bathroom break, trip to the kitchen, etc...he will jolt out of a dead sleep and keep you in his sight, if not full-out follow you. He sleeps in my bed with me (his initial inclination, which I was totally fine with!)...so not sure how well he would do if asked to sleep in a dog bed. There's one available for him in my apt, but he's absolutely not interested, haha. He decided to help himself to the couch and bed, which I'm okay with (though not everyone is). CAR RIDES: Escanor is generally very good with riding in the car. He'll usually need some prodding to get into the car, as well as an assist up. Sometimes the same deal for exiting the car. He will definitely try to perch himself on the center console and be right in your grill like a little hood ornament! . Having a dog hammock or something to obstruct his ability to hang out there is important.

Story
Energetic, loving, and goofy 9-year-old Ella is super sweet but needs a family with an experienced dog owner. A little under 2ft tall and 40 lbs, she's sleek and muscular. Ella is fully house-trained and very patient with the three cats she lives with. She's never lived with kids but is generally chill with the children in the neighborhood. 
 She loves her toys, playing fetch, tug of war games, following you around the house, and of course, napping. Ella wants to be involved in whatever you're doing and is alert to someone coming to the door. She is highly food motivated, Ella picks up new tricks quickly but can be stubborn and easily distracted, so she needs lots of consistent positive reinforcement to maintain behavioral changes. She has many opinions and she will let you know about them. 
 Ella also plays well with other dogs, although sometimes she has issues with dogs larger than she is, but is good at de-escalating potential conflicts. Ella really loves company so if her new people are gone for a full work day she will need a canine companion. She's leash trained and always excited to jump in the car to visit the park. Ella is a great dog looking for a home where she is loved and cherished. Would you be the one for her?" Ella is now being fostered in Oakland, CA and her adoption fee is $275.00 Arrangements to meet our dogs occur after an application has been received. Please contact us at dogzonerescue@yahoo.com for more information about this great gal or for an application to adopt.

Pinga is a great dog with energy and playful spirit. She loves to have fun, whether it's chasing after a ball, running around the yard, or simply enjoying some active playtime with her favorite humans. Her enthusiasm and positive energy make her a wonderful companion, and she always bring a smile to everyone around her. She can be a bit selective when it comes to other dogs, so she's best suited to a home where she can be the center of attention. Pinga thrives with human companionship, especially when she gets plenty of love. She's also great with kids, bringing joy and excitement to their playtime.

Maximus is a very calm and quiet dog. He loves company and he loves having bath. He'll let you know when he needs to go the bathroom. He listens and follows commands like - sit, show me a good boy (and he'll sit down), let's go (and he'll head out to the door), wipe your feety ( and he'll step on the door mat and sit), wait, move back, go in the shower, come here, high five (and he'll give his paw), go to your bed, etc. He loves being petted. He's playful and loves to run around in an empty park.

Story
Brave is a lovable one-year-old pitbull mix with a gentle yet cautious personality. He’s still learning to navigate the world, so he can be a bit nervous and shy when meeting new people. Brave needs a slow and patient introduction to feel safe and comfortable around new faces, but once he gets to know you, his true personality shines through.Despite his initial apprehension, Brave is a sweet and affectionate dog who thrives on love and companionship. His gentle eyes and wagging tail will greet you once he warms up, and he’s always ready to share his happiness. One of Brave`s favorite activities is playing with his collection of stuffed toys. He loves carrying them around, snuggling with them, and tossing them in the air for a little solo playtime. He bonds deeply with those who take the time to earn his trust, and once he does, you’ll have a faithful companion who is always by your side. With his mix of sweetness, playfulness, and sensitivity, Brave is the perfect pup for someone willing to offer him the patience and love he needs to blossom into the happy, confident dog he’s meant to be.
