Story
Hello, world! I`m Ri Ri, a 4-year-old German Shepherd with a heart full of love and a spirit that`s slowly but surely finding its way to happiness. Life hasn’t been easy for me so far. I’ve faced more than my share of challenges, and it’s made me a bit nervous and unsure at times. The shelter can be a scary place, full of unfamiliar sounds and lots of barking, which makes me feel overwhelmed and hesitant.But here`s the good news: I’m a sweet and affectionate girl once I get to know you. With a little patience and kindness, I’ll start to show my true colors. When I trust you, you`ll find that I’m a loving companion who enjoys gentle affection and quiet moments.I dream of a serene home where I can feel safe and secure, away from the chaos of the shelter. A place where I can slowly adjust and blossom into the loyal and loving friend I’m meant to be. If you have a quiet home and a big heart, I might be just the girl you`ve been waiting for.Will you give me the chance to be your forever friend?

Story
Would you like a giant, furry friend who is content to warm your spot on the couch when you are away and then let you know that you are the most amazing and special person in the world when you come home? While not a guard dog, as Bob makes friends with strangers quite easily, he does have a big, intimidating presence that is just enough to keep any shady riff raff out. What would Bob like from you in exchange for keeping your spot warm, adoring you on a daily basis and keeping the peace in your home and yard? Well, he likes to chase a ball around the yard. He likes having a stuffed animal to carry around. He really likes being with you as much as you'll let him and of course some good quality food, keeping up on his vet checks and a nice soft bed (a spot on yours is even better in his book, but he'll happily stay on his own if you prefer). Bob is really just a great dog that recently suffered the loss of his family. We're trying to help Bob put his world back together. Let us know if you want to meet this big, lovable lug.

Story
It breaks my heart to say that I have to rehome my beautiful baby girl, She is smart, sweet, and full of love. She does have some reactive issues (Whining) we are working on for dogs on walk, but she goes to dog day care and boarding with no issue. Going through divorce and having hard time. it’s very difficult situation :( Bring her to shelter is my last option I don’t want to do. I know dog are family and I never wanted to be that person… I want to find her a forever home where she will be loved and well taken care of.

Story
Due to our busy traveling lifestyle, I have had to come to the difficult decision to rehome Shiloh. I adopted her as a puppy in June of 2023 on the dog beach in Avila Beach. She is the kindest, most loving, intuitive dog I have ever owned. She needs someone with a yard or the time to take her on walks. She loves the dog beach,water, dogs, cats and people. She is very easy to train and will respond to tone of voice. She is approximately 23 months old. I am including a large, high quality crate. I haven’t had her spade due to family members wanting a puppy from her but am willing to have her spade if it is a condition for her adoption to the right home. She can either be an inside or outside dog and rarely barks. She communicates mostly with “dog talk”.She is a wonderful dog🥲

Hi! I'm Xavier, a 2-year-old male German Shepherd/Doberman Pinscher mix! Some nice people at Woods just brought me here from LA and, boy, I sure am happy to be safe and to make room in my previous shelter for the owned animals separated from their families due to the fires. This move will help those families be reunited... and maybe it will help me to finally find a family of my very own here in SLO County! Could you be the one I've been dreaming of? Come meet me at Woods SLO from 12-4 p.m. Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: Tan Weight: 78 Age: 2yrs 0mths 3wks
