Featured Available Dogs

  • Lucky girl who escaped a life of breeding, three-year-old Rosie is anxious to start a fresh chapter as a loved dog. Sweet, petite, and a bit mischievous, patience and TLC will help her blossom.
  • Spared from a life of breeding, three-year-old Poppy is ready to learn about the life of a loved family dog. She seeks loving, patient people and a dog companion to show her the way and introduce her to the life she deserves.
  • Penny is spicy, smart, outgoing, and builds a strong, affectionate bond with her trusted person. She needs dog-skilled adults who will go slow, keep a predictable routine, and let that special relationship build at her pace.
  • A beautiful soul who thrives on love, Honey is funny, devoted, and a little shy until you've earned her trust. She's looking for calm, dog-savvy grown-ups, ideally with a yard big enough to patrol, who will take the time to win her heart.
  • A busy, fun-seeking girl, two-year-old Bella is always up for a good time! A training work-in-progress who needs regular exercise, she will thrive in the care of dog-skilled people who know how to transform a bouncy teenager into a responsible canine citizen!
  • Two-year-old Scotty was too busy playing to be a good breeder dog. Lucky him! He is looking forward to living inside and learning about the life of a loved family dog. A blank slate, he needs everything but will happily bring the party that makes it all worthwhile.
  • Aptly named, Colt is a long-legged young boy with pony-like enthusiasm! Sweet and friendly he wants to be a friend to all. Add time, attention, and training to unleash his full potential!
  • A fun, adventurous and playful girl, one-year-old Hazel is always up for a good time. Respect and seek positive training support for her what’s-mine-is-mine behavior to help her reach her full potential.
  • Cowboy is a gentleman and a scholar, ready to ride into his next chapter after a change at his last home. A five-year-old Lab and Husky mix with a nose for adventure, he will thrive with easygoing, active people who want a well-mannered partner for trails, campfires, and quiet evenings on the couch.
  • Lani turned up as a stray in the Central Valley but is putting that behind her and is finding the good in people. Eager to please, she is opening up with the help of her foster siblings and will blossom with patient people to help her complete her transformation.
  • Cocoa is a whip-smart three-year-old who leans his whole body into a hug once he knows and trusts you. He needs experienced, dog-savvy people in an adult home where he can keep growing into his best self.
  • Brady is a sweet, people-devoted boy with a big heart and some special medical needs that are  fully supported through our Permanent Foster Program. An enthusiastic road trip co-pilot, playful, and Velcro boy...all you need to bring is love and a quiet street. No other dogs, please, but teens and adults are very welcome!
