Story
Paisley was found outside wet and cold in a rainstorm. She was so cute we brought her home for the night intending to take her to the spca the next day. Of course we fell in love with her and kept her. She is a sweet dog that loves to play. We are an older couple however and she needs more exercise than we can give her.

Story
**Currently in foster** I'm introducing myself to you as a very independent, a little shy, and intelligent dog. My name is XL Duck. And I didn't grow up socializing with people a lot. So it takes me some time to get used to new human beings. But once I know you, you are my best friend. I love running, and running, and running. I met quite a few dogs at the shelter, and they all became my friends therefore I'd love the company of another dog in my new home! When I was in a foster home, I was quiet and non-destructive, but preferred the company of other dogs. I've made a lot of human friends at the shelter, and I love to play with them and get scratches.  Interested in adopting? Visit our shelter during open hours and ask about XL Duck and A050126November 4, 2024, 6:39 pm

Story
This pup is nothing short of amazing and has the best parts of a shepherd and an Akita. He wants to be part of the family and he will protect them until the bitter end. Kai wants a family so bad and has a strong love for the people who take care of him. Once he has settled in, Kai's happiness fills the home with joy. When you come home from a long day at work, Kai is there to greet you and wants nothing more than to listen and smell all about your day. This young loving amazing Shepherd gives unconditional love, and only wants to please you and take every command. He can be a little timid, but once he learns your love, he is extremely obedient and loving. Once you earn his love, that’s all you’re gonna get from him. He is a good boy who has been through some tough times who just wants a family all to his own. Kai currently lives with other dogs and does well with most of them. There are more assertive dogs that Kai is not a fan of. Kai is not recommended to live with cats due to prey drive. Kai has met children and done well with them with proper introductions, but would likely do best with older children only given his timid nature when first meeting new people. Kai would do best in a home that is experienced with Akitas, Shepherds, or a similar breed. Kai is neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccinations. All Better World Rescue dogs qualify for complimentary private and/or group training to help ensure a successful adoption. If you would like to meet Kai to see if he is a good fit for your family, please fill out our short adoption application: www.betterworldrescue.org/adoption-application Upon receipt of your application, one of our passionate volunteers will call you within one business day to answer any questions and schedule a meet.

These pups are in Elk Grove, California too!

Story
https://photos.app.goo.gl/T98R214ti92Sq5mv7 https://photos.app.goo.gl/2Fp7MGhdS3k75eEg6 We have 2 young dogs, spays and neuters, crates, toys, and vaccinations… up for adoption. We love them dearly, however, we feel they deserve better and more love because we don’t have the time for them. We would like them to go to good homes where they can get more attentions and affections. They are great with other dogs and kids, they don’t know how to be aggressive at all. They turned 2 on April, 2024. Mumble is boy, a sweet giant baby. Nala is an all white female, super sweet and gentle, she's more shy compared to Mumble. They came from the same litter and has been together since born and are very playful with each other. It would be wonderful if they could be adopted in the same home so they can continue to be playmates. Both are house trained, crate trained, and will come with bags of dog food, collars, leash, walking harnesses, dog toys, and crates (one Xlarge and one Large).
