Story
HI - I'M MICKEY.... and I have the most beautiful, wishful, soulful eyes. I am a handsome and sweet 4-year-old boy, who been waiting too long for someone to choose me. I am a small and friendly Boxer-Pit mix in need of a foster or forever home. I was saved from a California shelter, and weigh about 51 lbs. I do well with my doggy neighbors at my current location, and have been a model citizen. I would love human companionship, since I welcome human attention and affection, and would love to go for walks, hikes or other outings. Can you open your home and heart to me? I really have waited too long for someone to choose me. Please email for an application.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Looks like: Boxer, German Shepherd, Golden Retriever Mix Male, 8 years old (estimated), 71 pounds Meet the dog with the world's biggest heart! Hank has tons of love to share in the form of cuddles, snuggles, and adoration for his family. Hank refuses to pick favorites-in fact, he's a fan of yours already! He has excellent manners-no jumping up when saying hello, never begging, and asking permission before getting onto a bed or couch. Hank would be happiest in a house where folks have deep reserves of affection ready to share with him. This energetic boy will need people who welcome a dog with spirit, strength, and passions: car rides, long walks, hikes, and fetch (only the best game in the world). He has shown some dog reactivity while on leash, but with reminders and training he's already showing signs of improvement. He has successfully lived with cats in the past, but would require a gradual introduction with any new kitty friends. He admits that his natural inclination is to chase cats (squirrels are also kind of irresistible). Hank sometimes protects his resources when he settles into a home. He would be best in a home as a solo dog or with a pup who is happy to share toys and chews and won't be bothered by Hank's miserly tendencies at times! We don't know yet how Hank would do with children. Hank's dream situation would include humans of his very own to love, squeaky toys, and a yard. Hank's DNA results show that he's a Super Mutt Mix! He's 50% Boxer mixed with German Shepherd, Golden Retriever and Border Collie. Hank was surrendered to us because his senior guardian was no longer able to care for him.

Story
Looks like: Boxer Mix Female, 6 years old (estimated), 30 pounds Amazing Iris is a loving, 6 years young Boxer mix who is looking for her new forever home. Iris is on the smaller side at only about 30 lbs. Iris does have epilepsy and we are happy to report that her seizures appear to be controlled on her current medication dose. She will need an adopter who is able to administer seizure medication three times a day. Luckily, Iris loves food and readily takes her meds with a treat! Iris is ready to start the rest of her life in a home full of love and kisses. Could this be your home? Iris came to us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services after being found as a stray.

Story
Meet Ruby 💎 Ruby is an extremely sweet and loving girl. She loves her people so deeply and isn’t biased on who gets her love! A giant bucket of pure joy! She loves to chew her toys! Also has the endurance for short walks and loves to explore new things to sniff! But she takes a strong arm as she is learning to not pull still. Continuing training with her is ideal as she has some catching up to do! With proper introductions- she happily lives with dogs! She does get overwhelmed with young children so we think it’s best that kids are older. She is crate trained, potty trained and knows basic commands. The parts we know of her past is heartbreaking! She was rescued from the kill list at Devour Animal Shelter. She was obviously used as a breeder dog who had many litters with the c section scars to prove it! Her back leg muscles were weak and she had urine burns which means she didn’t get time out of a crate besides being bred. Due to her past, she takes time to trust that other dogs are her friends. Ruby has been vaccinated, microchipped and fixed! She is ready for her new home! Ruby is about 5 years old.

Hi there! My name is Ollie and I'm a 2-year-old, neutered boxer that currently weighs about 54lbs. I'm a friendly and affectionate guy that's literally jumping with excitement to meet you!  I'm a happy rambunctious guy that lives up to my Boxer breed. If you are looking for a ridiculously silly new friend, then stop on by and say hi. I'm a food motivated guy so training should be a breeze! Since I'm still working on my dog social skills, I prefer to be the only dog in the household. I really hope to be the goodest boy I can be!

Story
Camie, is a boxer mix who is a year old. Born on November 18, 2023. She is one of 9 from a unplanned pregnancy. We have had her Mom for 5 years and were recommended by our vet to not get her fixed until after her first cycle. That happened right in the middle of Covid and we never ended up getting her fixed. A neighbor dog found the mom and then that was it. We found homes for all but 2 of the puppies and we were planning on keeping all of them. Unfortunately we have to move into a smaller location and cannot have 3 dogs. Camie is a great dog who loves attention. We have an 8 year old who she is great with. Great listener, she is house trained and loves to play. She currently weighs about 40 lbs. and I don't think she will get any bigger. Looking to find her a great home. I will also cover the cost to get her spayed.

These pups are in Santa Cruz, California too!

Story
Dexter is a snuggly goofball. He's happiest with his pack, basking in the sun or lounging in my lap. He loves to explore and takes his time to sniff every plant when on walks. He likes to play tug-o-war, give kisses, & LOVES treats. He hates the rain. He's good with other dogs, especially loves little pups, & to play chase. His besties are a large Burmese doodle & a tiny French bulldog. This said, he will not back down from an aggressive dog. An experienced owner is better. Dex is great with kids, as long as they are dog folks; his zest has knocked one or two over. He loves to give kisses and is very curious. He's scared of balloons and holiday decor. Dex sleeps most of the day. He gets a 45-60 minute walk daily, with 2 or 3 other 20 min potty walks (I don't have a yard). A few times a week we do a longer hike. I got him at 4 mos as a family pup, but after a divorce, stepkids moving out, & a new job, I don't have the time to give him the attention he deserves. He's a sweetie.
