Chica is a 40lb friendly purebred Bull Terrier. Her size makes us wonder if she is a large Mini Bull. Like all Bull Terriers she is a kid in a clown suit! She does all the fun bully moves that makes them so unique and special. Chica has shown an interest in agility and will go over jumps and is eager to learn and very food motivated. She walks beautifully on a leash and greets strange dogs respectfully. She has been to doggie daycare 2x and has been good with other dogs on a short-term basis. She is active but not hyper.

Newly sprung from the Fresno shelter, Kono is an extremely happy and active boy. This 3-4 year old guy is a party animal! He was completely unfazed by his shelter stay and is always ready to start a new adventure! He loves to explore and LOVES his Kongs. Kono was indifferent to all the dogs he met at the shelter, even the ones that surprised him from the back of a pick-up truck. Party Boy will be transported to the SF area this weekend; this 55lb tank will be ready for a foster home in a few weeks if he continues to evaluate well.

Bella in Reno
Meet Bella (middle dog) who was surrendered to a shelter because she was not good with livestock yet was placed in a ranch so back to the shelter she went. A Good Samaritan pulled her on her Euthanasia Day and has housed her for a month but commitments from a breeder to place her have fallen through. Bella is 9 months old; she is crate, house, leash and obedience (some basic) trained. She has been great with the medium/large dogs in her interim spot and also with the larger dogs that she has met. She is not good with cats, small dogs and livestock. She has been good with children that she met during walks but the shelter noted that she resource guarded a toy from a young child. She loves playing with water and balls and is self-entertaining as she can play with balls all day! We’d like to help her but can only do so if a BT-experienced foster spot is found or if someone fosters a kenneled dog to make room for her at our kennel. Bella is in the Reno area; we will be scheduling her evaluation in the next few days. Bella has been bounced around several homes since May so her ideal spot would be a foster-to-adopt one with older children. ~Suz

Tater Tot Tater Tot is so confused at the shelter after losing her family and home. She was unclaimed after being found as a stray. This stocky girl is unassuming, quiet and loves to play with people once she gets to know them. She’s initially timid with men but quickly accepts them if there’s a woman present. Her ideal home would be a quiet one where she’ll be the only pet. Tater Tot is estimated to be 3 years old. ~Suz

Soledad Animal Services picked up this stray 7-9 year old guy and brought him to the emergency clinic to treat the bite wounds on his face. He is so sweet that he rode out his stray period at the clinic. Bob is blind, has a grade 4/5 heart murmur as well as very bad teeth. An opthamology exam determined that his vision loss is due to retinal atrophy so there is no corrective procedure. Despite his blindness and heart condition, he is an extremely happy-go-lucky guy who is Mr. Social with people and other dogs. We’d like to find him a foster spot where he can patiently wait for his retirement home. His heart murmur can’t be reversed but we can recommend supplements such as Fish Oil, L-carnitine and CQ10 to help his heart. He’s underweight so we’ll get him to a healthier state before he’s considered for dentistry procedures. Bob will be making his way from Soledad to SF this weekend.
