Chai – Turlock

8/27 Update:  Chai has fully recovered from her mange and skin infections; and she has been spayed.  This incredibly sweet little 36lb girl is now ready for an adventure in a new home.  Many thanks to Robert Waugh for fostering this little pumpkin, nursing her back to health and giving her some structure and boundaries.  She is great with the male pit bull in her foster home but can be dominant with the female pit bull there.

…………………………………………………………………..
Meet Chai (rhymes with Hi), an incredibly sweet and cuddly girl that we pulled from the Modesto shelter this week. She’s being treated for a blood infection from a severe skin infection and a likely weakened immune system. Her interim foster mom reports that she is getting perkier with each day and is a super 31lb snuggle bug. Chai will need to gain a few pounds and recover from her infections before she can be spayed so she won’t be available for several weeks. She’s about 1.5 to 2 years old; so far, she seems interested in other dogs and not in a bad way. I just want her to recover and decompress before we attempt any dog:dog introductions. Thank you, Kari Young Paradiso, for pulling her, giving up your day to spend it at the vet with her and for the interim housing. Please stay tuned for more information on this little pumpkin!

Sherman – San Francisco, ADOPTED

Sherman

Sherman needs a new home as his family is moving to the Midwest and can’t take him with them. He is about 4 years old and 62lbs. Sherman is great with people and loves children, even the little ones. He is wonderful with cats but is very selective with other dogs. He is house, crate and leash trained. A wonderful companion for a family who can manage a dog that is not good with other dominant woofers. Here’s a video of Sherman having a blast with his foster mom:

Princess – San Francisco (Mini – PLL Status = Clear) – ADOPTED

Posted on by

PrincessNamePrincess is a 2yo Miniature Bull Terrier.  She has gone through loving boot camp for crate guarding and food aggression (both towards people). Princess will need a very experienced Bull Terrier owner as she is chock full of Girl Power and will test you daily. Princess is 35lbs and has a Grade 2-3 heart murmur (our vet did mention that her heart does sound nice and strong). Princess is crate, leash and house trained; and she is very dog-social.  Her Primary Lens Luxation test result returned as “Clear”. More about PLL

Brooklyn – Portland, OR – – ADOPTED!

Posted on by

BrooklynBrooklyn is a delightful girl who is almost 3 years old (born 5/10/11). She has been through obedience classes (knows Sit, Down, Heel, Stay, Wait, Go Up, Get off, Leave It, Go Night Night, etc.); and she is great on a leash. Although she loves going for walks and used to 3 mile ones, she is perfectly content being on your lap while watching TV. She also has her own version of TV which is waiting the birds and chipmunks that land on the birdfeeder viewable through a bedroom window. Brooklyn used to be the buddy of a young boy so she is used to being played with, handled all over and wrestled with. She is house, crate and snow trained. She is great with dogs and would love to be the companion of a male dog. As she often brings home presents of moles, shrews, voles and baby possums, she is likely not kitty friendly. Here she is pictured with her ACD buddy, Benjamin Blue.

Miko – San Francisco

Posted on by

MikoName4yo Miko is a delightful tank girl! Her owner was seriously disabled in an auto accident a few years ago and had to move back in with his mother. Sadly, she passed away earlier this year and the house has been sold. Miko’s owner is now living with a friend in no-pets housing. Miko LOVES other dogs, even the ones that snarf at her. She lived with (and was bossed around by) a 10lb female chihuahua. She ignores cats as long as they don’t move; she’ll chase dashing cats but has not caught up to any of them yet. Miko is 42 pounds but can benefit from a slight Weight Watchers program. This chunky busybody is crate, leash and house trained. She’s also a trancer!

Darling Dozer – ADOPTED!

Posted on by

DozerDozer entered our program when he was getting very limited 1:1 time with his family due to his rowdiness; and he started becoming dominant with the two young children in his home. Dozer is about 4.5 years old (born October 2009) but is still very much a big puppy. With some structure and set boundaries in his interim foster spot, he has turned out to be quite a little darling. He is playful and very eager to please. He learns quickly and can be protective of his family until you let him know that all is OK. Although he is generally good with dogs on a short-term basis, he has jealousy issues with them on a long-term basis. His ideal home is one with older children and where he’s the only pet. Dozer is about 45lbs; he is crate, house and about 90% leash trained.

Patton – ADOPTED

Posted on by

PattonPatton is the last of Norma Jean’s babies, born on 4/21/13 (almost a year old). He spent some time with an older couple but who knew that he’d be 70lbs? We think he’s mixed with American Bulldog but he’s still a goofy guy who is still a big puppy. He gets along fabulously with the female Bull Terrier and the cat in his foster home. He’s a very friendly goofball who is also good with children. Patton is house, crate and leash trained.  A video of Patton can be found here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B391Ltugw8E

 

Stoli – Porterville

Stoli
Stoli is a sweet little girl whose family had to move where pets weren’t allowed. Stoli is a little over a year old (born 10/14/12); and she weighs all of 38lbs. Stoli has been wonderful with her family’s 1.5yo little girl that she grew up with. This little pumpkin is leash, obedience, house and crate trained. Her foster parents say she is a total love bug with all people but is food and toy aggressive with other dogs. She has too much interest in the kitties to be trusted. She’s very good with other dogs when on leash but can get bossy when playing loose. Does anyone have room for this energetic little girl? She promises to be a good girl once you wear her out.P.S. You can follow her on Roland BT’s FB page:https://www.facebook.com/pages/Roland-BT/304990496199211
Here’s a cute little Flipagram of her:

Hayworth, Deaf – Reno, NV – – Adoption Pending

Posted on by

Hayworth

Welcome to the Hayworth Show! This lovable 66lb guy is deaf but you’d never know it! He’s unflappable with chickens and other dogs but will get quite worked up when he sees cats. He loves to climb on laps; and he’s a total massage addict! Hayworth is about 3-4 years old. He’s crate and house trained but will need a refresher on leash manners as he tends to tug during walks. He’s a messy eater, drools a ton, doesn’t care for toys and is a total DORK! He can have stubborn streaks during walks so be prepared to coax him back to walking mode. What can we say? The world revolves around Hayworth as he is irresistibly SPECIAL!  More pictures of Hayworth can be found in his Facebook photo album.

Buster – Sebastopol

BusterCollageBusterTireNameBuster is about 1.5 years old, he’s roughly 45lbs and great with all dogs so far. He’s energetic but calms down after two good long walks daily (he’d make a great running/walking companion). Buster’s good in a crate, seems to be house trained and just a bit spazzy on a leash. Wonderful goofy guy!!!
