Story
We adopted Masher -5 months ago from Ca shelter. He is up to date on shots and flea and tick meds Very sad we cannot continue to raise him. My wife uses a cane now and is the primary caregiver which means she is unable to walk and exercise Masher. We believe he would be a great fit for a family with a yard as he loves to run and play And needs exercise. He loves to walk around our neighborhood. Masher needs a lot of attention. He is very loyal and attentive to his “person/persons”. We have a large crate for Masher that is 4ftx3ft and will sell for $25

Story
Tucker is a very energetic and outgoing fellow with unbelievable intelligence. He had a rough start, literally thrown from a car into my aunt's yard when he was roughly 9 weeks old. I had his DNA done and he is a purebred everything dog! He is Jack Russell, Chihuahua, small Poodle, Australian Cattle Dog, German Shephard, Dachshund, Min Pin, Pekingese and Cocker Spaniel. He's much larger than we had anticipated and sadly do not have the adequate outdoor space for him. We also recently moved about an hour from our jobs and the time we have for him has been significantly decreased due to commuting. He does well with our two older cats, although he has a habit of trying to herd them. He has a wonderful personality, and this is honestly very hard for me, but I just can't give him what he needs to be a truly happy boy.

Pitbull Boxer Mix

Story
Sky is an enthusiastic 3 year old pitbull mix. He is very affectionate and sweet natured. However, if he doesn’t have a strong experienced owner, he has a tendency to push boundaries. He can get possessive over high value bones. However, rubber Kong toys are safe. He will allow you to throw them and he’ll bring it back for you to take back. He loves to swim, run and chase sticks or balls. I am a dog trainer myself and would be more than happy to offer my services to help Sky get acclimated to his new home. I’d be there every step of the way to give Sky and his new family the best chance of creating a healthy and safe relationship, environment and fit. If for whatever reason it doesn’t work out, we would immediately take Sky back and try again with a more suitable family. However, i believe me and his new potential owners can work together and have a successful adoption. My parents own Sky at the moment and are older and just don’t have the time and energy Sky needs to thrive.

Story
Poppy was a puppy of 10 in her litter. My granddaughter came to me and asked if I could please take one because the owner was going to euthanize all the puppies. I agreed to take Poppy. Poppy turned out to be way bigger and more dog than I could handle at 71 years old with medical issues and a bad back. She is loving, she wants to be by you all the time, she wants to cuddle, she knows how to sit and stay and take a treat nicely I just need her to be able to run and play and live the life that she deserves She runs in my front yard with a 4 foot chain-link fence, but she now knows how to jump over it, and I cannot contain her in the yard She’s a dog that needs to exercise or be walked, and I cannot do that. Poppy is very loyal. She is by my side 100% of the time. She just needs the love and exercise that she craves. Poppy even watches football. Niners here! Please, somebody give her the life that she desires Thank you Poppy is still waiting for that forever home of playful time.

Story
Hi, meet Rocky, he is a German Shepard Akita mix that my family adopted from a kill shelter in July 2025. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, we must re-home him as soon as possible. We fell in love with him at the shelter because he is so playful, happy, and good with my three and five year old. He is also fully crate trained and will put himself in his crate. He knows how to sit and lay down, but that is about it. Issues Rocky has: - jumping-while-excited and play biting. Needs to learn redirection. - aggressive with other animals, needs to be in a home with no other pets. - pulls while walking, his new owner will need to use a short leash - does not know his strength and will knock you over out of pure excitement Needs: - training - someone who can give him attention - needs mental stimulation - to be walked daily - to be in a home with a backyard
