Story
Meet Woodstock! Woodstock entered Riverside Shelter as a stray, and when he wasn't claimed, we scooped him up on November 12th to become a Frosted Face. He is about 8 years old, weighs 41 lbs., and is very sweet. Woodstock passed his cat test, and he gets along well with other dogs in our play yard. Woodstock went on a Frosted Fling that was extended from two weeks to a month. He earned a rave review from his Fling Mom: "Woodstock is such a good boy and is probably the easiest foster I’ve had, given that he is so chill, doesn't have accidents, no leash pulling, minimal barking, he’s just a mellow guy! Woodstock loves people. All he wants is to be petted and cuddled. I was told that it looks like he had a hard life before, and now he has discovered the joy of human affection and he is all about it! Woodstock went to a couple of dog festivals and was around big crowds of people and lots of dogs. He did amazingly well and loved the attention. He even took treats around other dogs with no reaction. I also took him to a bar, a coffee shop, and a restaurant. He did great everywhere! Woodstock loves to go hiking! We've gone as far as two miles or so, and he definitely could go further. We hiked with a couple of my friend's dogs, and he got along great with them. He is so easy on leash and listened so well. Woodstock knows sit. He’s learning stay and come here. He will usually come when called. He will sit up if you hold up his front paws and pet his belly. Woodstock is very loyal and really aims to please once he trusts you. He sometimes leans in to people for pets even when he first meets them. He really is the sweetest boy!" Woodstock is back on-site and ready for his forever home! Stop by to meet this wonderful boy between 10 AM and 3 PM any day of the week!

Story
MooShoo is one STUNNING boy! Sadly his start was rough.  Part of a seizure from a hoarding home during a tragic fire, when he and dozens others were left behind tethered, in kennels or locked in bird cages.  Despite his start he made it out of the shelter to what he thought would be his hero for life. Shortly after his adoption, he spooked and got out.  Sadly, his new owner sought help to get him caught only after pressure from the community that kept seeing him.  NO JOKE...... After weeks on the run she blocked the trappers number when she called to say he's safe and can go home.  No response to the shelter calls and again his life took a turn, this time for the better.  Volunteers took their time to establish trust, teach confidence and realistic expectations.  He started to thrive.  He loves walks, attention, food and adult people. Due to past trauma, he doesn't do well with people near his rear end, would prefer to not live with kids (due to their unexpected nature) and doesn't do well with other dogs. He loves his people in his inner circle deeply and will do anything to keep them happy.  He will dance to greet you.  He is quiet and undemanding.  He hangs contentedly in his crate between outings.  He transitions well to strangers and enjoys whomever takes him on outings or pack walks.  He just wants to be loved and safe.  It's time for his next step and LAST landing.  Is it your home?  He is waiting for you. ##1716040##

Story
Scarlet, like most of our dogs started running scared from everyone.  She had been seen repeatedly returning to a dog park as if she had been dumped there.  Multiple attempts by people and animal control to catch her had failed with several resulting with her on the nearby freeway before we got the call to help catch her.  She had already been "out" for days and although had a pattern was being chased so covering ground, making trapping hard.  We went with our gut and set at the park where she always seemed to return.  It did the trick and she was safe.  Sadly, as expected no one came forward to claim or pick her up.  She was scared, guarded and true to her primary breed (chow) not the best communicator.  We took things slow, gave her space and time.  She softened up and began to glow.  The big suprise came when she showed us she knows sit, down, shake and even roll over.  What happened and where were her people?    In their absence all we could do was build on what she already knew and start to expand her circle to include strangers and the scary world.  It has taken time but she now approaches people for food, welcomes affection from stangers and her eagerness to interact and please those she knows is irresistable.  She is extremely food motivated, wicked smart and eager to please.  She is balanced with dogs big or small.  Her house training is a work in progrees but getting better.  She is still relatively new to us but her progress has been amazing,  She is starting to show off her playful and silly side.  If you think you don't have the time or ability for a lifetime commitment but enjoy a dog she could really grow best while in foster.  If you enjoy the journey of watching a dog grow and slowly evolve this girl is the one for you. Because of my Flight Risk I cannot be left unattended in a yard, crate training is a must when you are gone, tight grip on the leash is a must on adventures and my new family must be aware of open doors and windows.  NO offleash activities in unfenced areas for life.
