Story
Jack is being fostered in CA. Are you looking for a cuddle bug? Look no further than Jack! Jack is a 7-year-old poodle/min mix who loves to snuggle and be right by your side. When he’s happy, he jumps up and down like a bunny (which is the cutest!). Even though he is blind, he can make his way through the house and the yard with no issues. Jack is house-trained and uses the doggy-door. His friendly nature extends to everyone he encounters, both dogs, cats, and humans alike, especially babies and children. He believes that love knows no boundaries and greets every opportunity to make new friends with enthusiasm. If you're searching for a furry companion who will shower you with love, joy, and unwavering loyalty, look no further than Jack. Give him the second chance at happiness he so deserves, and in return, he will fill your life with endless happiness and unconditional love. Now, this wonderful companion is ready to embark on his new chapter and share his boundless love and joy with a forever family. BDRA has voted against the use of electrical fencing effective immediately.

Story
This big boy is friendly and full of love. Kev is always happy to see and meet new people, making friends easily. His affection and willingness to listen mean he’s by your side (sometimes even leaning or laying on you) whenever given the chance! Kev has the energy you would expect of a young GSP and will benefit from lots of running and exercise to help him burn off the energy and learn to settle. He’s been known to jump or scale a fence, so secure fencing is crucial. He is active and at times doesn’t realize his size. Once he’s settled, he’s quiet and gentle. It’s the ideal time to perfect the cues he’s learning like down, stay, and shake. Kev is looking for a home that will continue his training and exercise him well. He’ll benefit from structure and a regular routine. If you have other dogs in the home, let’s talk more about how Kev can best integrate with your crew. He is unaware of dog social cues and his play style (combined with his size) can be a bit much for some dogs! Kev is available on a foster-to-adopt basis so we can support you during the transition to your home. About Me Our adoption process begins with our adoption questionnaire: https://norcalgsprescue.org/adoption-questionnaire/ (Please note that we adopt primarily within Northern California and our minimum age for kids is 6) If you'd like to see what Kev's been up to, check out his posting in the Available Foster Dogs section: https://norcalgsprescue.org/available-dogs/. That's where you'll find all the latest info about all of our available dogs.

Story
Poppy is an adorable young pup who came into rescue with an injured leg. We didn’t know the extent of the injury – would she need surgery? Would she possibly lose the leg? Would the leg recover? Poppy had a consultation with the orthopedic surgeon, and the outlook is good! It’s the type of injury that might heal without surgery, so the plan is 6 weeks of strict rest, and then reassess. If things are on track, no surgery. If the leg is not healing properly, then we’ll move forward with surgery, which is estimated at $8,500 to $9,900, and 10 weeks of cage rest. We’ll know in early October if Poppy will need surgery. Keep your fingers and paws crossed for Poppy!

Cooper is a cute dude who is calm and fond of people and kids. His favorite things are car rides, ball-chasing, playing in the water, long walks, running around being silly, and hanging out with his people! More scoop: Cooper is housetrained and crate-trained. He knows sit, lay, stay, come, and will leave a treat on the floor until told he can have it! He may have been a hunting dog as he is very interested in birds and chickens. Cooper settles quickly and rarely barks. Cooper is ready to join an active home that will enjoy spending time with him – if that sounds like you, click on his Adopt Me button and fill out the fast and easy adoption questionnaire!

Story
Brooke is an energetic, curious, and confident puppy! She is very smart and eager to please. As GSPs tend to be, she is silly and will make you laugh with her antics. Brooke is outgoing, social, playful, and ready to explore. At 5 months old, she will chew most anything she can find and is a strong chewer, able to chew through things quickly. As an avid investigator, she is learning about the world. She is working on “Sit,” ‘Down,” “Off,” “No,” “Good,” along with leash manners and house- and crate-training. Her favorite things include playing, interacting with dogs, kids, and people, and exploring the world. Did we mention chewing?!? Brooke would love an active family with high-energy experience who appreciates her puppy enthusiasm and affectionate nature. Her happiness is infectious!
