Story
We adopted Jake from the Humane Society a year and a half ago. He was 13 weeks old. He is 1 and a half years old now and such a love to our family. Jake loves being outside, playing with his toys, and just being around people. He loves to go on walks and is definitely a camping doggie. Jake has never shown any kind of aggression towards people/kids but unfortunately he is not a fan of other dogs. We have a senior dog and they just don’t get along. It breaks our hearts but know that finding another home where he is the only pet is the perfect scenario for Jake. He is 75lbs. He loves to cuddle, give kisses and is very trainable and smart.

Story
Lorelie T is a beautifully proportioned, classic looking female "pocket" German Shepherd.  Lorelie is gentle and affectionate, and loves going on walks.  Her mobility is typical for a senior dog, having no problems with short walks and easily navigating 3-4 steps.  Lorelie is good with some dogs, but she can be selective about who she opens up to and plays with.  She would do best as an only dog in a home without young kids. Lorelie T Summary:- Female, 13 yrs old, 53 pounds- Good with adults, older kids, some dogs- TBD - cats What's Next:  Lorelie is ready for adoption!  Thulani does not charge an adoption fee and provides medical coverage for life.  All Thulani dogs go to their forever homes with a supply of food, a cushy bed, and toys if wanted.  All dogs pass a set of evaluation tests before being accepted into TSGSR.  The tests are not intended to assess how smart the dog is but are important for TSGSR to determine if the dog is expected to be safe in a family home.  The tested behaviors check to see if the dog will guard or protect food or toys from people, will tolerate handling all over its body (including ears, nose, lips to check teeth, lifting paws, belly, back, and gently pulling the tail).  This dog remained calm during all of these tests and showed no aggressive tendencies. ##1715732##

Story
This is Rubi. She is a Belgian Malinois that I got from a breeder in Tracy my senior year of high school. She was born October 2019 so she is about 4 1/2 years old. She is a very loyal and sweet dog that loves to play and accompany you on any activity. She is a high prey drive breed so I dont believe she would get along with cats as she is always on the lookout for squirrels and other rodents. She learns very fast if she has something to work for (a treat or a toy). She knows her basic commands and is pretty good on walks. She picks and chooses which dogs she likes so I would always be wary when she meets new friends. She was raised with my sisters Malinois and maltipoo so she knows how to be social. I wish I didnt have to rehome her but due to my living circumstances I am left with no choice. I just want her to go to a good active home where she will be take care of like she deserves. Thank you.
