Story

10/31/24 10:48Reason animal needs rescue: Has been in shelter over 90 days and improved drastically but is still looked over.Type: Length of StayImpound type: StrayAdditional notes: When Velma came in initially, she was very fearful. Volunteers and staff spent time helping her build confidence by having her in dog playgroups and doing lots of positive reinforcement. She has come very far and she deserves to go to a home after being here since June.08/19/24 14:59Dog behavior has improved. Inside of kennel when split from other dog inside of kennel, I am able to leash as she is now approaching the kennel door and bows her head to get leashed and is no longer biting at leash or displaying any aggressive behavior. She does not hesitate to come out of kennel and once she was outside I was able to do a full and invasive handling. She did well with me checking her teeth, pickiing up her front and back paw, checking and pulling her ears, petting her stomach and even allowed me to pick her up . She seeks attention when called with a low tail wag, a submissive head bow, a relaxed mouth and calm eyes. When walking around she ignored other dogs barking at her and just sniffed around with a calm body posture. LB07/09/24 15:58Since sharing a kennel with other dog has been getting better inside the kennel, comes when called and will lick hand. When I split them up and tried to leash her by herself her behavior went back to biting, striking, and jumping at leash. She eventually was leashed and froze again and did not want to getout of kennel. I then left the leash on and lifted the divider so the other dog can calm her down. I then split them up and tried to pull her out again and she went out without an issue, walked around and sniffed. I did basic petting and put dog back. Use caution when leashing. LB07/02/24 08:27ON June 27, Dog was at back of kennel, trying to bite leash when I tossed it in first time, shaking, lip licking, puckeing lips. Had to lasso to leash and once leashed she freezes and did not want to move out of kennel. Showed her another dog she came in with and was more motivated to go outside of her kennel. Outside of her kennel she is tail tucked but had no dilated eyes, relaxed mouth, rubbing on the dog she came in with. When getting overwhelmed she went under the legs of a volunteer who was sitting near by. Only able to do basic petting on back, not able to fully r

Story

Bentley is a 1.5-year old male Dutch Shepherd mix youngster (most likely Belgian Malinois) who was picked up as a stray by Stanislaus Animal Services. This poor puppy was so traumatized at the time of intake, but is now safe with rescue in a wonderful foster home, where he can decompress and begin to feel safe and loved. Bentley is a sweet little boy, and didn’t hesitate to come to our volunteer upon first greeting. He is now fully crate trained, and does well with other dogs. Initially, he was very shy when meeting other dogs, but has become a pretty confident pup, and loves to run and play. His first night in his foster home, he slept in his crate all night with no issues. He loves his people and at times wants to be right next to you, waiting for pets and lovin. Bentley will require a committed and loving human who will make him a part of the family, providing the care and attention that every young pup needs. Only older dog-savvy children 8 and above in an adoptive home will be considered. It will be necessary for an adopter to have recent successful experience in raising a GSD, Belgian Malinois, Dutch Shepherd, or other large breed working puppy. An adopter who will begin and continue his obedience training based upon positive reinforcement is recommended, including positive steps to discourage unwanted behavior, to ensure he remains on the path of a well-behaved canine companion. We are currently screening applications for the best possible fit. ##1805152##

Special Needs

Obie (REDUCED FEE)

Dutch Shepherd German Shepherd Dog

Male, Senior

Tracy, CA

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Obie (short for Old Boy) is a sweet old boy looking for a comfy couch to call his own. He has a beautiful fluffy coat that he enjoys a nice brushing of. Obie is a quiet and dignified couch potato. He is fine with everyone but particularly loves men. He loves ear scratches and a nice snooze. Obie is currently on medication for seizures. He takes this medication twice a day and it has greatly reduced his occurrence of seizures. He takes his medications easily if hidden in cream cheese, sour cream or yogurt. Obie is house trained with a doggie door right now. He enjoys spending his afternoons outside relaxing. He can be scared by loud things like fireworks but has done well with CBD as needed for this very specific anxiety. Obie does not really care for treats or toys. Treats he has enjoyed for training include lamb roast, mashed potatoes and eggs. He thinks vegetables are yucky. He seems to have been new to dog food but has taken to it well with some patience. Obie currently lives with another large dog and gets along well with her. She will even snap at him sometimes and he will not really react. He simply wants to be her friend. We also believe Obie will be fine with mannerly children. He has met toddlers and takes care to not knock them over. When meeting cats indoors, Obie was excited but did not necessarily exhibit high prey drive. He allowed his foster mom to call him back as she removed the cat. When he sees cats outdoors he like to try to chase them, though this is true of most dogs (even those that live with cats). All Better World Rescue dogs qualify for private and/or group training at no additional cost to help ensure a successful adoption. To meet Obie, fill out our short adoption application: www.betterworldrescue.org/adoption-application Once an application is filled out, our volunteers will reach out to you within one business day to answer any questions and schedule a meet and greet.

Story

[Located in Seattle] Honey is a beautiful 5 year young GSD who had a ruff start to life. You could see it in her body, her eyes, her skin + fur, and her poorly neglected ears + teeth We don't know where she was before the shelter or how she ended up in the shelter but she looks like another beautiful dog who was overbred + then dumped by the only family she knew when they couldn't use her anymore. Thankfully, we were able to pull Honey from the shelter with only 15 minutes left before her final notice expired. As soon as we got Honey out of the shelter and into her foster home, she became a different dog - calm, trusting, + luving. Honey continues to come out of her shell with her doting foster. She enjoys going for walks, has a healthy appetite, is house-trained, and the sweetest luv bug who adores humans! Honey is being fostered with 3 other dogs (raining in size from small to large) and does great with them - no resource or food guarding, can eat out of the same bowl as the other dogs, and shares her space and bones. She can live with other dogs with slow and proper introductions, and time to adjust to her new home and fur siblings. Honey also lives with a cat and has shown little interest in the cat. We recommend her going to a home without kids or with older, calm, and dog-experienced kids because we don't know if she had any experience with kids before we rescued her and hasn't had any exposure to them with her foster. If you're ready to fall in LUV with your new beautiful, sweet as Honey best furiend, fill out an app to meet Honey today!
