She is in a foster home as the only pet with a couple. They report: `We have had Leia one week. She now approaches us for affection. She loves to cuddle on the couch as well as play fetch and tag in the backyard and the house. She is very easy to walk. She sleeps with us every night. She is house trained and goes out to potty in the same spot in the yard. She has been perfect in the house, never any mischief. I have left her for 3.5 hours and she stays on her couch (her safe place). She is fine passing other dogs on a walk. She sits and shakes.`*Leia`s adoption fee has been sponsored by a generous donor*Please note: Our Santa Cruz location’s Shelter hours are 11-6pm, 7 days a week!

Hero’s rescue story: Hero and two siblings had been wandering in the suburban mountain area for quite a while. The chance for these young puppies to survive in the wilderness during winter time is slim. Luckily, all three fragile lives were rescued in time and then got settled in foster homes. The puppies received loving care and medical attention under foster care. Hero thrived to be a healthy and happy pup!

Story
Bingo 8 month old female  My name is Bingo I have a sister Rudy, I'm a 8 month old female Australian Kelpie mixed that loves to play . I love playing with other dogs medium to large but unknown about small dogs or cats. My coat color is cream and red; one of my eyes is blue and the other eye is brown isn't that cool? My favorite thing is being around the home with you, going camping, hiking, walking around the neighborhood, and much more. I love my crate, I walk great on my leash, and I love children. My size is small to medium around 30 lbs perfect for an apartment and or a condo. I'm very sweet snuggly and energetic. I love watching TV and or movies with you on the couch. My favorite treats are Mother Hubbard treats, Nlyabone Edible Bones, and doggie frozen yogurt and I do like other treats I am not picky. I hope we can meet so I can be that sweet bouncy pup for you and your family.   October 25, 2024, 1:21 am

Story
Ox he lives with us in Oakland, CA. He is a resilient 11 month old Australian Kelpie who will turn 1 years old in December! He unfortunately lost his back leg as a 6 month old due to a compound fracture in his femur. About 4 months after his amputation he sustained another injury to his back leg making him unable to move. This was with his previous family but we stepped in , got him surgery and started feeding him regularly , Ox is stronger and happier than ever only 1.5 months post surgery , you wouldn’t even know. He is a male who has been neutered, his shots are up to date and he’s great with others! He loves other dogs, loves to play and be outside. He loves his sleep time at night and is on a great routine for going outside to use the bathroom. He’s super smart, knows a few commands but is eager to learn more! We need to rehome him because we already have 3 dogs of our own and 4 is unfortunately to much in a one bedroom Apartment!
