Story
THIS IS A COURTESY POST. Please contact Sheryl with OAKDALE TINY PAWS RESCUE, text+1 (209) 606-3640 or email at tinypawsoakdale@gmail.com, Zena is being fostered in Oakdale Zena is believed to be around 2 years old. We think she is a Maltese/Doxie mix. She is very sweet and loving. She may take some time getting used to a new place. Once you are her person and she trusts you, she will always be with you. She loves all the cuddles and closeness she can get. Zena loves sleeping on your bed at night. She will try to be up by your head, you just must be persistent about where she needs to be. She does pretty good with going outside to potty. Taking her outside every little bit will help with that. She does know how to use a doggy door. She would do great as the only dog due to she wants all the attention. She does like to be around other dogs though so one dog might be a good thing to give her a playmate. Best to be a dog that is not going to fight for dominance because when she is scared, she will growl at them and then the other dog that is dominant will growl back and they both won’t back down. When new people come around, she might be timid around them but slowly come around. She will make a wonderful companion for someone out there. If you are interested in meeting Zena, please text or email Sheryl at the above contact information. RE-SCREENING, APPLICATION, VET REFERENCES & FENCED YARD REQUIRED. SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY! YOU WILL GET THE BEST OUT OF YOUR NEW FURRY FAMILY MEMBER BY GIVING THEM LOVE AND TRAINING

Story
We have a transport where we will be personally taking our dogs home leaving on 12/20/24 to NorCal and OR. Surrounding states will be added to our route if needed ☺️ We would love to add Max to our trip for the right home 💙 Meet Max 💙 He is a 1 year old Poodle/Maltese. He is neutered, current on all vaccines, microchipped, has been thourely examined, and cleared by our vet to find a home all his own 💙 He weighs 10 lbs and is at a very healthy weight 😊 He is crate trained, and currently sleeps in his crate at night to sleep or to nap during the day. He is very well behaved so if you were wanting to have him on a dog bed aside yours in your room in place of a crate I'm certain he will do wonderful with the change. He is house trained, and goes out to use the restroom when needed throughout the day. He does very well with a schedule, and will happily go out when asked to if he needs to 😊 He is doing okay on leash, he isn't bad on it just still learning confidence in the world. He is the sweetest boy ever, just a a bit shy! I'm confident in his ability to learn that leash time is a happy time and one worth getting excited about! He is wonderful with other dogs and cats alike and has a very docile, submissive demeanor. He would do wonderful having another animal friend in his home that was equally tempered 💙 He is NOT a barker. He is quiet, and calm. Don't let his age deter you, as he has an old soul and would make any home complete in a way only he could! He is a total charmer. Loves to be snuggled. Is very independent and will lounge around while you tend to your day waiting patiently for you to clear your time for him ☺️ He is wonderful on road trips around town, and is just always happy to be included in life's ventures. He does very well with our groomer, and has learned the comfort of a good spa day so we welcomes them every time with a wagging tail 💕 His prior owners were a young family that had never owned a dog before and thought they could juggle work, family, and a dog but they realized he was getting less and less attention and knew it wasn't fair to him whatsoever being on the back burner to their lives and wanted him to have more, like he deserved to have so they reached out to us here to take him in and find him a wonderful new home and humans to love ❤️ If you are in search of a sweet friend who will love you with every fiber of his heart, I assure you that you'll be grateful for the love Max has to give you💕 His adoption fee is on our website at the bottom of his adoption listing at https://www.breadoflifek9refuge.org/post/__max It covers his vet costs, the care associated in the time he has been here with us, his grooming costs, and the training we have personally done with him 💙

Story
We have a transport where we will be personally taking our dogs home leaving on 12/20/24 to NorCal and OR. Surrounding states will be added to our route if needed ☺️ We would love to add Winnie to our trip for the right home 💙 Meet Winnie! She is a Maltese/poodle mix.. She turns 1 on 12/27/24 ❤️ She is spayed, current on all vaccines, microchipped, had a dental cleaning done, has been thoroughly examined, and cleared by our vet to find a home all her own. She weighs 7.7 lbs. Yes, she is full grown and at a very healthy weight.(She is just naturally petite 💕.) She is house trained, and will go outside to use the restroom throughout the day. She is always accompanied due to her small size, and the wildlife we have present here. She doesn't seem to mind the company one bit as she loves knowing her favorite person is there keeping her safe ❤️ She is crate trained, and currently sleeps in her crate at night. She however will not have a problem sleeping in bed aside yours, or in bed with you if that's where you want her to be 😊 She is doing very well on leash training and really enjoys walking around with her favorite person. She is still building confidence walking in public areas, but will learn that the world brings her joy, and happiness when entering it with her trusted family. She is small enough to carry, so we don't mind holding her for now when she needs us to ❤️ She is AMAZING with dogs and cats alike, and would do great with another sweet, docile friend if you have one in your home. If not, I'm certain she would equally thrive being the princess where she would be doted on all the time. As long as she has someone there to love her, human or animal, she will be a happy girl ❤️ She is a SWEET girl. Kind hearted. Compassionate. Loving. Caring. Doting. Attentive. She is that girl you have been waiting to come along that will come into your life as if she never missed a moment of it. She is truly a special little friend, and one I'll miss greatly. Her eyes light up the moment you walk into a room, and as soon as she knows you are focused right back on her the tail and body ways begin ❤️ She is quiet, and a bit shy when you first meet her, but I assure you that her shyness is only temporary. As she settles in her personality will open and you'll meet the same beautiful sweet girl we all have come to know and love here 💕 She is great on road trips, and will happily accompany you anywhere the road leads you! She is very good at the groomers and enjoys her spa days! She is not a barker at all, and may or may not alert you of someone at the door 😂 because she would rather be the mouse in the corner while you go and check out the unfamiliar noise to make sure its safe for her to come out too 🙃 Her prior owner lost her home; and had to move back in with family. Without any income, and an unknown path ahead she knew it was best to find Winnie a stronger foundation with a permanent home and family to call her own so she reached out to us to take her in ❤️ Her adoption fee is on our website at the bottom of her adoption listing at https://www.breadoflifek9refuge.org/post/winnie It covers her spay, vaccines, microchip and registration, her dental cleaning, additional anesthesia time, iv fluids, pain meds, antibiotic Injection given to aid in the healing of both her spay and dental, and her overall exam which went perfect. Her teeth were in overall great health, but did need a cleaning and polish ❤️

Story
Pukka has been a service dog since 2014, he helped respond to extreme emotional distress from CPTSD through high school attending with me. He has been amazing with my 2 young children 1&5, rarely barking never a biter. He’s afraid of fireworks sounds but loves to watch them through a window with his ears covered. Gentle, loving, and very friendly to all ages, animals, and types of people. Overtime he has become a pet as I have started healing and I hope he can enjoy his days in an environment where he can give love and be at peace. His anxiety has started rising causing him to hide a bit as my kids become more aggressive and fear causing damage to his own mental state should he move with us to a much smaller place.
