Story
*Courtesy Post* Currently in North Park. Gemma was abandoned and picked up. She is spayed. We believe she is about 1.5-year-old. She is good with dogs and people. I have not seen her around cats or kids but she is such a calm, sweet girl that I don’t predict any problems. She will eat anything in front of her and loves to chew on toys and lounge on laps. She is about 35 pounds. If interested in meeting this sweet girl please message or call Sarah at (925)337-3584 or email at sfletcher217@gmail.comNovember 4, 2024, 4:09 pm

Morgan is a very sweet and loving boy. He has lots of energy and loves to play! He needs a home where he is the only dog. Somewhere with a big fenced yard or acreage would be great. He is very loyal and and an excellent watchdog. Please help me find him a home.

Story
I am in my mid-70's and recently became the primary caregiver of a 3-year-old girl. Taking care of her, 2 dogs, my family and my house is getting to be too much. Milo is a 5-year-old (May 2019) Rhodesian ridgeback, weighing in at 44 pounds. TJ is a 4-year-old (October 2020) German Shepherd mix weighing in at 72 pounds. They have both been neutered. They have been raised together and get along extremely well. Both are very affectionate and loyal. They walk in tandem on leash and enjoy their outings, especially the dog park. TJ enjoys playing fetch and will actually return the ball; Milo will chase it but not retrieve. :/ Please respond if you are interested. We will happily pass on the dog crates, leashes, food, and anything else in the way of supplies that I have that you might need or want. I have 2 grandchildren. The dogs and babies are curious about and tolerate each other easily. They are really wonderful, sweet dogs.

Story
Maple is one of the sweetest and most intelligent dogs I have yet to encounter. She is a little slow to warm up at first, as it is clear she has been mistreated. Once she knows she can trust you though, she wants nothing more than to love and please! She is a very good listener. She is housebroken and follows commands. She is super playful and will fetch and retrieve. I have had her for a month, looking for a home for her. I found her running in the road. She is microchipped and her owners were found, however they did not want her back. I can’t imagine why! She is such a special girl. She will make the most loving, playful and loyal companion to someone or to a family. Since she has been with me she has been around other dogs and also cats. She hasn’t shown any aggression. She has wanted to be the top dog though. I feel she would do best in a home where she can shine as the only pet or another dog that will let her be front and center. She is hungry for attention and affection.
