Story
12/16/24 01:46Doggy Day Out Report:Today I got to go on Doggie Day Out! I was patient while my friend harnessed me and was ready to go on an adventure with the help of a boost into the car. My new friend took me to a busy park where there was so much to see, I couldn’t take it all in fast enough! I needed to stop and absorb all the sights and moving parts. My friend thought I’d enjoy myself more somewhere quieter, so she took me on a nice long walk in a neighborhood. I loved my long walk! There was a lot to see and smell and observe. I walked nicely on the leash and passed people and dogs politely. Afterwards, my friend surprised me with a tasty pup cup! Three Words to Describe Me are: Sweet, Gentle, CuriousNotes from My Walker: I had a nice day with Rosie! She’s a beautiful, sweet girl. She was excited to get going, but fairly easy to harness. She was interested in the car but needed a boost onto the seat and then sat and looked out the front window.We started at Almaden Lake Park, but the very busy trail was a bit too much for Roxie and she wanted to constantly stop and observe all the movement. We opted for a neighborhood walk and that was much more her speed! She walks nicely on the harness and passes people and dogs politely. She’s very curious and wants to observe everything that moves. She checked in regularly and leans against you for pets. Roxie would love a home to continue to expose her to the great big world! She’s a sweet, social girl with people and dogs and would make a great companion.

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##

Max is a mellow and cheerful young pup with loving nature. He is close to humans, always greet people with a big smile and non-stop wagging tail and hip. He is super smart and aimed to please, so is easy to train. Around the house he obeys rules, has good judgement, and good self-discipline. He waits patiently before eating his food, before going thru doorways, and when getting in and out of the car. He checks-in often with his human, sitting very still and gazing up politely. He loves the head/tummy rubs and cuddling that follows. He loves to eat and gets excited before taking a walk, but will heed to command well. Max is crate trained to sleep overnight and potty trained to go outside. His favorite pastime is his daily walks, and romping around with doggie friends in the park. Please watch his videos below to learn more about this goofy boy!

Story
Lucille is a 4-year female Dutch Shepherd mix, about 70 pounds, and might just be the softest dog in the world! She loves to cuddle with her humans, shred cardboard boxes, and play with hoses. She's sweet, loyal, and affectionate, though can be shy at first with new people. Once she warms up to you, she is so loving and appreciates spending quality time together. Lucille thrives in a household with structure and routine and is used to being left at home while her humans are at work, etc. She is smart, learns quickly, is housebroken, leash-trained, has some crate training, and knows basic commands (sit, stay, down, touch, leave it, paw, come, place). Lucille likes long walks but is not high-energy. She has anxiety that is well-managed with a daily established medication regimen. She will do best being the single pet in a household, which is the only reason why she needs a new home that is a better fit for her. We will discuss subsidizing some meds and potential training with applicants.

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.

These pups are in San Jose, California too!

Story
Charmie is a young 2.5 year old and vibrant female German shepherd who was acquired from the Stanislaus Animal Services Agency in Modesto, CA. We are looking for Charmie to be placed in a forever home that will allow her to thrive, receive the love she deserves, and feel safe in her environment. She was in a shelter for a month and she was about to be euthanized before we got her from the shelter. We want Charmie to be in a home where she feels safe and secured. She has a lot of energy and loves a good belly rub. She enjoys playing fetch, very food driven, and enjoys being in the company of people she’s comfortable with. She is shy, but she warms to people when she gets more comfortable. Fetching is her favorite activity and would highly advise taking her to a safe park to give her a physical outlet. She enjoys walks, hikes, and having some outside time. She knows the basic commands such as sit, stay, drop it (during fetch with a ball), and down. She is very smart and learns fast.

Story
So we took Zeus on when my sister-in-law passed away suddenly. She was an RN and loved her dogs. Zeus does have a lot of anxiety and not a fan of men or unknown people. He will hide behind you. He does get excited on walks, when you feed him, and when you just play with him. He is very lovable.
