Story
Rocky is a 2 year old altered male black flat coat retriever. He has a working dog vibe. He needs a secure fence, preferred chain link or something similar. He is good with my older female pit who is pretty chill. He was good with my kitten but he does not seem to do well with male dogs and definitely not chickens. He is very smart and I think he would do well with a family who could spend more time interacting with him. He is good with children about 7 and up. Any younger and I could not say. He was neutered January 2025.

Mellow

Maltese Poodle (Standard)

Male, Young
West Sacramento, CA
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Mellow is 3 years old. He comes from one of the litters that my other sweet pup gave birth to. He was raised with her and his dad up until now. He's a mellow pup, which is where the name came from. He was the most mellow one from the litter. He is fine with other dogs and does well at dog parks. He's more on the shy side with other pups until he warms up. He was not raised around children, so I don't know how he would do. He knows the words "treat, walk, outside, and sit". Mostly, he is house-trained as long as he has access to a yard. He has been raised as an inside pup with a dog door that is always accessible. I’m looking for someone who has time and love to give. He loves to cuddle and be petted often. He does well in car rides and likes walks. I'm not in a rush to send him away with just any applicant. He’s loved very much here, and I’m looking to find a good fit for him and an applicant. I’d also accept him back if the transition didn’t work out.

Auggie

German Shepherd Dog

Male, Adult
Rio Linda, CA
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter,
Story
Auggie is a nice dog, but he does not realize how big he is. When the kids are over he runs to get out the door or anywhere and knocks them down he even pushes us out the way. The little dogs bark at him sometimes he pushes them with his head again doesn’t realize how big he is and they slam against the wall. Other than that he is a good dog he just sits there or wants to play fetch, he loves the water but gets ear infections easily. Auggie is a good dog we just can’t take care of him like we can.
