Cereal is a very affectionate, calm and gentle boy. Medium to low energy level. He just loves to be around human. He has done 4 weeks of K9 board and train. Great recall, kennel trained, knows stay/sit/down/wait/go to bed. He respects human and other dogs/cats’ boundaries. I have to rehome him because my other dog doesn’t like him. Cereal would be a great addition to any family.

Story
Brawny was adopted in 2024. She is an frenchie mix. Unfortunately owners housing situation requires her to be rehomed. Brawny is energetic, always happy, and bouncy. She aims to please and really listens to the rules. She enjoys running in the yard with other pups and or her person. She is crate trained and loves food. When she is designated a space to go for evening she will go there right after her outside night time potty. She loves milk bones and greenies as treats. One very special thing about her is she is very easy to train and really tries to her best. She loves other dogs and cats. We have not introduced her to children but do not see that as an issue if introduced slowly. She bonds with her pack and people and is protective. She only will bark when she is protecting the house. She is not a vocal dog other than that. She is very independent & doesn't mind lounging around watching shows & enjoying the sun. She will ride in the car but appears to have minor anxiety during.

Story
Looking to add some more love and fun in your life? Meet Amber, a practically perfect pup… well almost… honestly! Amber is smart, sweet, playful, funny, and affectionate. She loves people, snuggles, and hanging out, although we have not seen her with younger children, only adults. Mostly an indoor dog, she does great in the home. She is around two years old and 40 pounds. She is crate trained, potty trained, knows all her basic commands, and is responsive to training. She is good on walks but can be a little reactive to some dogs. The almost part? She is not good at sharing her space with another dog. She will make the right home a wonderful companion and family member; she just needs to be the only dog in the home. Please reach out if you are interested in hearing more about Amber and would like to meet her. We are in Davis CA, but I am willing to drive a reasonable distance for a good home.

Story
To apply or see more of Honey, go to: https://www.heartsforpawsrescue.com/219873/2023/4/22/honey-b WE ARE LOOKING FOR A FOSTER, FOSTER TO ADOPT OR ADOPTER ASAP! PLEASE complete our foster or adoption form to get started! Already have an app on file? Email info@heartsforpawsrescue.com Hey there, it's Honey B, a sweet senior girl with a heart full of love! I'm currently kicking back in Davis, soaking up the good vibes after being rescued from the Stanislaus shelter in Modesto. Let me paint you a picture of my perfect day—I'm a snuggly couch potato, living my best life during the day. But watch out — I’ll get my zoomies in before bedtime and be sure to make you chuckle. My hobbies include playing with my toys, being the little spoon during snuggle sessions, soaking up belly rubs, and catching some rays while napping in the sunlight. Outdoorsy? That's me! I'm a fantastic walking and jogging companion, matching your pace with ease. Now, let's talk about my cheese-powered progress. I get a bit excited when spotting other dogs during walks, but thanks to some cheesy motivation, I'm making great strides. What kind of cheese you may ask? I don’t discriminate! I am housetrained and trustworthy when left alone! While rapidly de-stuffing toys is a talent of mine, fear not, I leave the human things alone … BORINGGGG! Meeting new people? I can be a tad shy at first, but give me a little time, and my cute personality shines through. I've even mastered the art of shaking paws! I've lived harmoniously with another dog in my previous foster home, but I'm a bit selective, preferring slow intros and other laid-back doggy pals. Now, here's the thing—I've got a bit too much curiosity when it comes to cats, so a cat-free zone is best. Ready for a snuggly, playful companion who knows how to charm with a paw shake? That's me—Honey B, ready to add sweetness to your life. Let's make some memories together in a home filled with love and laughter! 🐾 Honey B's adoption donation is SPONSORED! Includes spay/addendum; rabies, dhpp, bordatella, microchip, and up to date on monthly preventatives. Honey is being fostered in GRASS VALLEY, CA ESTIMATED DOB: 10/1/2015 Interested in adopting? 1. Please complete our online form at heartsforpawsrescue.com/adoption-application 2. We will respond in 1-3 days for a call! 3.

Story
To apply or see more of Otto, go to: https://www.heartsforpawsrescue.com/219873/2023/12/20/otto Otto, formerly Joey, was rescued from the Modesto shelter after being placed on the euthanasia list for that night simply due to overcrowding. He did nothing wrong to land himself on that list, but black dogs tend to get overlooked and adolescent large dogs are the most at-risk. Despite the odds stacked against him, this young, lively boy is so deserving of his second chance. Since coming to live with his foster fam and two furry foster siblings, he has been learning sit, down and stay so far. He’s such a fast learner! His leash skills have greatly improved and he is a joy on his daily walks. He has also been on so many new adventures! He LOVES snow shoeing and hiking with his foster family. From his fosters: He is a great outdoor dog but also an amazing snuggle bug at home. The perfect combo! He’s also fine with a good 15-30 minute walk and can chill out when he gets home. We have been working on crate training and it’s going great! He sleeps in his crate at night and when we are out of the house. Otto loves every single human he meets! He loves to jump and give hugs but we are working on that. He also loves other dogs and gets very excited to see them. With the right introduction, he would do great with a buddy to play with in his new home! He would also be great as an only dog. Otto is being fostered in SACRAMENTO, CA Estimated DOB: 9/1/2021 $250 Adoption Donation includes: Neuter, Rabies, DHPP, Bordatella, Microchip Interested in adopting? 1. Please complete our online form at heartsforpawsrescue.com/adoption-application 2. We will respond in 1-3 days for a call! 3.
