Story

Hi, I’m Willy 🐶✨ — part smarty-pants, part cuddlebug, and 100% ready for my forever person. When I first arrived, I wasn’t so sure about men and I didn’t always know how to handle new situations. But with patience, structure, and lots of treats (seriously, I love treats 😋), I’ve learned that the world isn’t so scary after all. Now, I’m showing off my “good boy” skills everywhere I go — sitting when asked, walking politely, and staying calm in new places. Once I trust you, I’m all about tail wags, kisses, and making you proud. I’m eager to please, super trainable, and I really just want to be your best friend. I’m looking for a home that will keep helping me grow — someone who believes in me the way my foster does. If you’re the kind of person who cheers for the underdog (literally) and loves seeing a pup blossom into their best self, I think we’d make the perfect team. 💛🐾

Story

Benji was abandoned and found on the side of the road. Even after everything he’s been through, he is still the sweetest little soul. He is small, and full of energy, and so ready for a home where he never has to wonder where he belongs again. He deserves to sleep on a warm blanket. He deserves a family who will love him for the rest of his life. If you can open your heart and home, this little guy will give you a lifetime of loyalty and love. He didn’t choose what happened to him... but you can choose to save him.

American Pit Bull Terrier

Livingston, CA

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Not good with cats, House-trained,

Story

Buddy has been rehomed twice before we got him. The first time he was three and he was discovered wondering down the street after the Mariposa Fires, he was spotted by a volunteer and after attempts to find his owners was rehomed with a family. Buddy lived with them as a single dog, for 7 years until the family moved to a no APBT state. At that time we have had him for 3 years, and since we are moving we will no longer be able to care for him. The three years we had him, we were able to break him into having other dogs around, however you need be skilled in introducing dogs or Buddy will not play nice. he currently lives with one other dog 4 yr old female. Also we dog sit two dogs a 2 yr old STPB and a 1 yr old chihuahua everyday. We have a cat in the house, he really wants to play with the cat, however the cat doesn't, so we've never found if he likes cats. But Buddy still has issues when greeting new dogs, so please be mindful. He has been neutered. house & crate trained.

Mila

Border Collie

Female, Young

Livingston, CA

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained,

Story

Mila is a 4 year old Border Collie Mix, Vet believed it was a shepherd. We have had her since we was 5 weeks, the owners before us said she was 3 months and it was a chihuahua pom mix, and that she will only get a little bigger. However we could tell that wasnt the full story and since she had a great personality at such a young age we decided to save her. She is very clever and smart. It only takes a few tries to learn something with her, either good or bad. So sorry for some habits you might not like in advance, like we trained her to growl when she plays tug of war. she is house broken, she has off leash training and recall. knows many commands. Mila is crate trained.

Bonded Pair

Darling

Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) Feist

Female, 2 yrs 10 mos

Merced, CA

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet Darling a lovable, sweet Terrier/Feist mix dog. (We are not sure exactly what breed Darling is, she is very unique) Darling is about two years old (maybe younger) and has a lot of playful energy. She was abandoned in an orchard with her 6 puppies, but has adapted to her new life wonderfully. She is shy when meeting someone new but has a loving disposition when she warms up. She has a soft black coat with a white patch on her chest. When she isn’t playing, she loves to curl up next to you for attention. You won’t believe how amazing she is! Darling is up to date on vaccines, spay, dewormed, flea and parasite free, microchipped and ready for her loving forever home. Over time with our family Darling has become reactive and very protective when other unknown dogs are present. She is currently in a training course to help her become more comfortable when new dogs are present, but she would probably benefit from being either the only dog in a family or adopted with Tramp, her son. She is a very smart girl and has been learning commands during training well. Additionally, Darling is not a fan of cats even though she is living with quite a few, she doesn't bother any of them but she does watch them very closely. Darling is potty/crate trained, leash trained, and follows direct commands. As Tramp and Darling have now been together for almost a year, ideally, we would love to see them go to the same forever home. If you are interested in adopting Darling please complete the adoption application at: https://kittentalesrescue.org/adoption-application/ (Our primary focus is on kittens so the application is geared toward cat traits)

Meet Tramp a lovable, sweet German Shepard/Terrier mix dog. Tramp is an 11 month old male puppy with a lot of personality. He was abandoned in an orchard with his mom and 5 siblings.

He is very engaging and a bundle of puppy energy. He has a soft black/brown coat and chocolate eyes. When he isn’t playing, he loves to curl up in your lap for attention. You won’t believe how amazing he is! Tramp is vaccinated, neutered, dewormed, flea and parasite free, microchipped and ready for his loving forever home. Tramp is potty/crate trained, leash trained, follows direct commands, and is socialized with cats. He is undergoing a training program and has a great aptitude for learning positive skills. He has been frequenting the local dog park and is very social and friendly with the other dogs at the park.
