Story
Meet Kantor, a loving German Shepherd looking for his forever home! We adopted him from the Oakland Animal Shelter in May 2024, saving him from euthanasia. His sweet, gentle nature instantly won us over. Kantor is a wonderful companion indoors—affectionate, intelligent, and eager to please. He loves fetch, belly rubs, toys, and soaking up love. Neutered, fully vaccinated, and trained in basic obedience. However, Kantor struggles with reactivity to other dogs, which makes walks and time in the yard challenging in areas with many canine neighbors. Despite training, this behavior persists, and we believe he’d thrive in a quiet home with an experienced owner who understands German Shepherds. A spacious, secure yard away from high dog traffic would be ideal. Kantor has so much love to give and deserves a patient, caring family. If you’re ready to provide him with a calm, structured environment, he’ll reward you with endless loyalty and affection. Could he be your perfect companion?

Story
Say hello to Stella.  We are searching for a very special family for her because she is a special dog.  She looks lile a shepherd mix and we think she is because of her face and body, and she weighs about 50 lbs, but she has short legs carrying her around which is why we need that special family because at only 5 years old, she has some arthritis in her back legs.  It means that if you are looking for a hiking buddy, she is not the one for you.  If you want a dog that will give you lots of love and smiles and be absolutely happy to be with you while you garden, or paint or read a book, or take a short and leisurely stroll around the block, she could be just what you are looking.  This dog wants to be with you, and love you.  Don't we all need a happy face to greet us when we come home?  She could be your steadfast companion.   Stella is also good with cats.  Fine with strangers.  Not a puppy, she is well behaved and easy going with a laid back attitude.  Other than the arthritis, she is in very good shape but you should know that she has had a lot of babies and you can tell by looking at her.  We believe she was used for breeding and then discarded.  Remember, looks fade but personality lasts a lifetime. If you are looking for a really sweet dog who will appreciate you saving her, Stella could be your girl.  There are videos of her on the website at 4dogsfarmrescue.org/Available-dogs.html so please scroll until you see her name and you can watch them there.   Adoption applications are available on the website too - click on the ADOPT at the top of the page or click here - 4dogsfarmrescue.org/Adoption.html   Stella will come to you spayed and fully vetted.

Story
Meet Leva, a young dog with a heart of gold and a gentle soul. Leva is shy at first and can be cautious around new people, but once she learns to trust you, her affectionate side shines through and she’ll shower you with endless cuddles, snuggles, and playful energy, becoming your loyal companion for life! Leva came in as a stray alongside her sister, who was very protective, making it hard for Leva to explore the world on her own. As a result, she’s still a bit unsure about her surroundings, but with the help of staff and volunteers, Leva is steadily gaining confidence. She would love a home with a yard and she’s especially good with other dogs, so having a calm, confident dog in her new home could help her feel more secure as she learns to love the world around her. She’s smart, highly engaged, and with time, patience, and lots of love, we know she will grow into the amazing dog she’s meant to be. Leva is eager to find her forever home where she can continue her journey of growth and blossom into the best companion you could ever wish for!
