Story

Got Tucker from the SPCA because my adult kids wanted a dog. Tucker is 9 year old half black lab and half American Staffordshire Terrier. He is house broken knows sit, stay, come and lay down. He does have some skin issues which I'm treating currently with Ketonex shampoo once a week. Tucker is a great dog but needs someone who can give him the attention he needs. He is very laid back and likes to go on walks. Tucker doesn't play with toys or balls. He is good with my niece and adult kids.

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.

\We do have a trip to Oregon set for the weekend of NOV 17-21!! Meet our adorable 8-month-old Havanese Poodle puppy, Vince, weighing in at a playful 12 lbs. This little charmer is looking for his forever home and is ready to steal your heart. With his fluffy, soft coat, he will need some regular grooming to keep him looking his best as he grows into his stunning long hair. Vince is a social butterfly who thrives on attention and adores playtime, whether it’s chasing after his favorite toys or romping around with other dogs and his humans. He’s fully potty trained and up to date on all his vaccines, ensuring he’s all set for a new adventure with you! He’s scheduled to be neutered on November 6, after which he’ll be even more ready to join your family. Update: His neuter went great and he is recovering very nicely. After a fun-filled day of play, he loves nothing more than snuggling up with his humans, making him the perfect companion for both active and cozy evenings at home. If you’re looking for a loving, energetic addition to your family, this little guy is waiting for you! We offer out-of-state adoptions and can arrange transportation to your location, provided that the transport expenses are covered. The adoption fee for this adorable pup is $1500, which includes all veterinary costs, comprehensive care during his time with us, and ongoing training until he finds his forever home. Get in touch with us today and share details about yourself, the loving home you can provide, and your experience with the breed. We will be in contact with you shortly. Thank you!

Lilly

Australian Cattle Dog Bull Terrier

Female, Young

Carmichael, CA

Size

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

Details

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Lilly is an energetic and playful dog that will be 1 year in September. She's an adorable pit/Aussie cattle dog mix as far as we can tell. We adopted her somewhat recently then found out we're expecting and don't have capacity for a baby and young dog at the same time. Lilly is smart and has learned quickly. She's crate and house trained, and is working on leash skills. We're also training sit, down, stay, and wait. She will sit and wait for a release word before eating. She gets along well with our older dog, but would not do well in a home with cats or small kids. We're not sure what happened in Lilly's past before we got her, but she is fearful and sometimes reactive, particularly with men. For this reason we hope to find and adopter who has some experience with dogs. Once Lilly does trust you, she's happy to snuggle up on the couch or flop over for belly rubs. We really wish we could keep her, but the timing didn't work out so we're hoping to find her a good home.
