Story

Meet Damascus! a 2 and a half year-old Bear Coat Shar Pei with more wrinkles than a seasoned sage and a personality that's even more complex. With his majestic, teddy bear-like appearance, he’s a self-proclaimed expert in napping, snacking, and giving side-eye to anyone who dares disturb his royal rest. His impressive coat, as soft as it is stylish, serves as the perfect camouflage for his undercover operation as a couch potato and professional blanket hog. He enjoys long walks to the fridge and leaving his owners wondering if they’ve ever seen a dog so dramatically aloof. Not just a pretty face—he’s got the charm, the sass, and the ability to make you laugh every time he wiggles his butt for a treat. Damascus is fostering in the Houston, TX area.

Story

Hey hey, friends! Are you looking for a supernova girl? Because you`ve come to the right place. My name`s Nova, and I`m ready to light up your life! Volunteers describe me as curious and friendly. I`m still a young girl so I`ve got some things to learn, but I`m ready to do that with you. I walk pretty well on leash with occasional check ins, and I`m easy to redirect if I get a little too distracted. I`m an affectionate girl who likes greeting people and receiving pets. If you`re ready for all the exciting things that come with having a young dog, I`m ready to be your loyal companion! Come on down to the shelter to meet me.I also went on a doggie day out adventure with a volunteer on 11/9, here is what they had to say! Nova was a very sweet and excited young lady. She accepted lots of pets from us right from the start and was very friendly. She was most calm when walking in more remote areas, where she relished the opportunity to sniff everything she could.When on crowded paths with other humans and dogs, or around squirrels she was a little anxious and reactive, and was more difficult to focus on walking so she could use some training and redirection like most pups do! She is a quick study though! We walked the arboretum at the uc davis campus, as well as most of the campus. She was very excited to walk and loved to sniff everything. Several people asked to pet her and she was a little shy but happily accepted pets, especially when motivated by treats. She got a pup cup at the coffee shop and wolfed it down! She walked several miles, and slept on the car ride home

Story

Hi, my name is technically Jason but I didn’t respond to that name so my foster family opted to call me Fuji instead. I think it’s because I’m so sweet like a Fuji apple. I am a charming 3-year-old brindle American Pit Bull Terrier, overflowing with love and tenderness. I lean in for affection and I love being rubbed. For me, the best seat in the house will always be your lap.I am super silly and clumsy, but my foster folks say that’s what makes me so charming! I am treat motivated, so learning commands and tricks isn’t too hard. I became potty trained, learned sit, stay/wait, come, and to only jump on the couch when invited in two weeks. I’ve almost learned lay down and high-five as well. I am crate trained and do well when left home alone.I love meeting and saying hi to other dogs. I have lived with another dog and we quickly became good friends. I play very well and have gotten along with all the dogs I have met. Fetch and chew toys will have me entertained for hours! I’m a playful boy who likes activity, but after a long day taking a nap in your lap is all I want to do.Jason also went on a doggie day out adventure with a volunteer on 8/31! Here is what they had to say! `Jason is friendly, assertive not shy, loves people and wanted to play with every dog we saw. he does not react to bicycles or mopeds when on busy walking trails but definitely chases lizards if they catch his eye. Jason is a cuddle bug and goes right for your lap when you sit down. He enjoys loves, pets and belly rubs and is extra affectionate when he gets to know you even just after a few hours. He’s a bit of a nibble kisser, but took good feedback and listened when instructed to be gentle. He’s a very good boy who loves the outdoors. he was slightly apprehensive around water at first, but was showing more interest and went in more throughout the day. We took Jason to Lake Natoma for the afternoon on the busy bike and dog trail. He did well around people, bikes, boats, and even other dogs. He slightly pulls when walks, but learns quickly. We sat on the beach for an hour or more, and he explored, played in the water and relaxed on the blanket. He was happy to be with the family, it will be difficult to take him back to the shelter. He’s a good boy and hope you find a good home`*** Jason`s adoption fee has been paid for with a donation from a community member ***

Story

Hi, I`m Queenie, a beautiful girl who would love to come home with you. I love treats and stuffy toys. I am timid with most people at first but give me patience and unconditional love and I will give you all the butt wiggles.I am working on basic training and I have come so far already with my leash etiquette. I was not used to being inside a home but thanks to my short-term foster family, I now love being inside most of all. I am still nervous about roaming the house but became more confident every day I was there. I am a young dog, so I still get into mischief ?? and I would love a family that will continue to train me. I am a people pleaser who loves to learn.I came in with another female, my sister, so I will likely do okay with slow introductions. However, I tend to play a bit rough with other dogs, so a medium-big dog might be best for me. I would do great in a house with lots of love, patience, and understanding. **Personality** Queenie is a gentle soul who needs a little extra TLC. She’s a bit unsure about people and prefers to take her time getting comfortable. While she has some nervous tendencies, she’s eager to learn and grow with the right guidance. With a firm but gentle hand, she will thrive and learn to trust. As she builds her confidence and trust she will let her true colors shine as a rambunctious playful girl, who wants to be loved. **Training Needs** Queenie will benefit from ongoing training to build her confidence and teach her leash etiquette. Being excited about the world around her, Queenie would do best with an adopter who has experience leading a lively dog and providing basic training.Queenie loves to play and she is learning how to play with people. This silly girl likes to chase after a toy when thrown but does not always bring it back. With patience, she’ll discover the joy of playing with her new family. Queenie would be a great dog with whom to share adventures. She is not used to the car yet, but new experiences and exercise will help build her confidence and ease her anxiety. **Other Pets** Queenie prefers to be the queen of her castle! She does not get along with cats or small dogs, but she might do well with large, well-mannered dogs who can help her feel more secure. A slow introduction to other pets is essential to her adjustment.**Ideal Home** Queenie is looking for a family who can focus their love and attention on her. A calm environment with a st
