1. Jackson

Adult · Male · Dachshund / Poodle (Miniature) (medium coat) · 35 mi from Hidden Valley Lake

MEET JACKSON — OUR VERY OWN ENGLISH GENTLEMAN! ❤️

Jackson is a distinguished 8-year-old Poodle/Dachshund mix with a heart of gold, a gentle soul, and a personality that makes him so easy to love!

This handsome gentleman is neutered, up-to-date on his vaccinations, and ready to find that special someone to call his very own.

Jackson is the definition of a loyal companion. He’s gentle, affectionate, and almost always happy. He doesn’t need a life filled with excitement or adventure. What Jackson would truly love is a peaceful home, a comfortable lap, and someone who enjoys having a devoted little companion by their side.

Looking for a lap dog? Jackson might just be your perfect match!

This sweet boy absolutely loves lying on your lap, soaking up affection, and simply being close to his person. He’s the kind of dog who would be perfectly content spending a quiet afternoon curled up with you, keeping you company while you read, watch television, or simply enjoy the day.

Jackson has the sweetest disposition. He barks appropriately, does reasonably well on a leash, and has that wonderful, easygoing personality that makes him such a pleasure to have around.

We think Jackson would be an especially wonderful companion for someone who lives a quieter lifestyle, someone retired, or anyone looking for a loving little lap dog to share their days with.

At 8 years young, Jackson has so much love left to give. He’s not asking for much. Just a soft place to land, a lap to curl up on, and someone who will love him as much as he’ll love them.

There’s something incredibly special about an older dog who simply wants to be loved. No grand expectations, no complicated demands, just the beautiful gift of companionship.

Jackson may not be the youngest gentleman in the room, but he just might be the most devoted. ❤️

Could you be the lucky person who gives this sweet English gentleman his happily ever after?

2. Pickle

Young (3 years 4 months) · Female · Basset Hound / Mixed · 40 mi from Hidden Valley Lake

Pickle is a beautiful black and white dog with a smooth coat, lovely ears and soulful eyes. Her breed mix is just a guess, but her relatively short legs and floopy ears suggest that she may be a basset hound mix. However, whatever her ancestry, this girl is agile and a jumper! She can easily jump over a standard baby gate. Pickle was an unclaimed stray in a local shelter and is guessed to be around 3 years old. Pickle is spayed and up to date on vaccinations. Although initially standoffish with the other dogs in her foster home, it took only about 30 minutes for her to get comfortable with the dogs and to start playing.

Read more about Pickle

However, she seems to be most comfortable around dogs her own size, or smaller. She is not fond of the family's bloodhound, but she loves their two basset hounds. She will chase the family cats. In terms of her humans, Pickle definitely prefers women to men. It took her some time to warm up to her foster dad. It is unknown, at this time, how she reacts to children. She's a good car traveler. A "homebody", Pickle is not especially outgoing and finds crowds and events stressful. If you think Pickle sounds like the companion you have been looking for, and you have a securely fenced yard, please submit an Adoption Application.

4. Chip

Young · Male · Chihuahua / Mixed (short coat) · 48 mi from Hidden Valley Lake

We love Chip, and we know you will, too!

Chip is estimated to be 7 months old, and he is a sweet and playful guy who is a little ray of sunshine. He has a happy personality and is quick to cover your face in kisses. He is a moderate-energy guy who would love a family to shower him with love. Chip weighs about 7-8lbs and we think he is pretty much fully grown.

Read more about Chip

Chip came to us from our local animal shelter after he was found as a stray. He arrived with his brother Dale, who has since been adopted, and the boys sat at the shelter for weeks with little adoption interest. We were more than happy to have Chip come to us, and he is now eager to find his fur-ever family.

Chip is the perfect mix of active and chill. He loves his daily walks and playing with his toys, but he is also happy to keep you company on the couch for downtime at home. He is a true lover boy who just loves quality time spent with the people he loves. In classic Chihuahua fashion, he loves to get cozy under the covers, and his favorite nap spot is in his foster mom's closet. He is a big cuddler and would love to be your snuggle buddy for cold Autumn nights. Chip has some basic training down, but would benefit from continuing to work on his training with his new family.

Chip loves other dogs and would adore having another playful pup to play with. He also could do well as an only dog, as long as he gets to have lots of dog friends. We have not seen Chip around cats, but he may do well with dog-savvy cats after a slow introduction and with proper supervision. Chip could be a wonderful addition to a family with kids 10 years and older.

Chip has been doing very well with his house-training using pee pads. He isn't the biggest fan of being in a crate, but has been doing well being left in a bathroom or bedroom for short periods during the day. He has done well living in an apartment with proper daily exercise.

Chip is such a sweet little guy, and he can't wait to be your new BFF. If he sounds like the pup for you, submit an application today!

Chip's adoption fee is $350.

5. Patches

Young · Male · Terrier / Mixed (short coat) · 48 mi from Hidden Valley Lake

Loyal, affectionate, and goofy - Patches is the complete package!

Patches is estimated to be around 2 years old, and he is a darling boy looking for a special family to call his own. He has the funniest little personality and is a comical guy who loves his people. Patches is a moderate-energy guy who would thrive in a quiet home with a family to shower him with love. Patches is the perfect small/medium size, weighing around 20lbs.

Read more about Patches

Patches was found as a stray and brought to a high-kill shelter in Central California. He was scared and shut down at the shelter, and the volunteers knew he would blossom outside the shelter environment. We were able to save him, and he has been charming us with his loving personality ever since.

Patches is a sweet and sensitive boy who bonds strongly with his people. He can be unsure of strangers, especially in his foster home, but we have found he can make new human friends with the help of treats and meeting in a neutral place. Once you become his friend, he will want to be in your lap and to get lots of love. Patches needs a family who will advocate for him and make sure he is slowly introduced to new people, or kept in his crate when guests are over. Patches has been doing great in a home with a foster mom and dad, and appears to love them equally. He joined them for a holiday weekend trip to their mountain cabin, and he did great meeting their adult kids. He loved having the space to run in the great outdoors! Patches loves his toys and daily walks. He is a pretty good walker, but will sometimes bark at other dogs when he is excited. He has some basic manners training and has great manners around the house (although he does enjoy stealing socks).

Patches has done very well living with other dogs. He does best with other playful dogs, as he can be persistent about wanting to play. He also could do well as an only dog. Patches currently lives with a cat, but is pretty obnoxious about trying to get the cat to play with him. Unless your cat would like a dog to play with, he would do best in a kitty-free home. Patches needs an adult-only home.

Patches is house and crate trained. He is content hanging out in his crate during the day and sleeps through the night in there. Since he isn't a big fan of guests, he is happy to hang out in his crate in the bedroom when people he doesn't know come over. Patches takes his role as the house alarm system seriously, so he wouldn't be a good fit to live in an apartment.

Patches takes a daily anti-anxiety medication to help him with his general anxiety. It has helped him tremendously and is a fairly affordable medication (around $20 for a month's supply).

Patches is such a sweet guy and is going to bring so much joy and love to his new family. If you think that might be you, submit an application today!

Patches's adoption fee is $300.

6. Audrey

Young · Female · Chihuahua / Terrier / Mixed (short coat) · 48 mi from Hidden Valley Lake

Audrey is the epitome of a big personality in a small package!

Audrey is estimated to be around a year old, and she is a bundle of fun who is always down for an adventure. Her favorite activities include wrestling with her foster sister, racing around the backyard, and cuddling with her foster parents. She would thrive with a semi-active family who would enjoy a moderately active puppy. She would be a great dog for dog sports! Audrey is a petite girl, weighing in at about 9lbs.

Read more about Audrey

Audrey came to us from our local animal shelter after she was adopted and returned after she and the older dog in the home didn't get along. We were quick to scoop her up, and she has been doing great in her foster home.

Audrey is a blast to be around, and she will keep you entertained with her morning zoomies and straight-into-the-air jumps. Audrey is also a big lovebug and is happiest when she can be with her people. She gets all cozy when settled down and makes a great late-night TV buddy. Her foster sisters have taught her the joy of sunbathing and lazy afternoons on the couch. Audrey loves her daily walks. She also does great for car rides. Audrey is still learning her basic manners and will need a family committed to continuing her training.

Audrey appears to have a strong preference for women and would do best in a home with mostly women.

Audrey loves playing with other dogs, so we would like her to be adopted into a home with another playful dog. She can be a little jealous sometimes, but with proper management, she has had no problem living with two other small female dogs. Audrey needs a home without cats or other small animals, as she has a high prey drive. Audrey has done great with respectful kids and could be a wonderful addition to a family with kids 7 years old or older.

Audrey has been doing great with her house training using a dog door. Audrey is used to sleeping in bed with her foster parents and happily sleeps through the night. Audrey has done well being left at home with her foster sisters for short periods during the day, both free roaming and in a crate. Audrey has a big voice and isn't afraid to use it, so apartment life isn't for her.

Audrey is such a dynamite dog, and she is going to bring so much fun and joy to her new family. If you think that might be you, submit an application today!

Audrey's adoption fee is $350.

7. Noor

Young · Male · American Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat) · 48 mi from Hidden Valley Lake

Noor is a one-of-a-kind dog that will melt your heart!

Noor is estimated to be around a year old and is a charming gentleman who loves everyone he meets. He is the epitome of a social butterfly and adores making new friends wherever he goes - both human and four-legged. He has an easygoing personality that makes him the perfect addition to just about any family. Noor is a petite guy and weighs a little over 45lbs.

Read more about Noor

Noor came to us from an overcrowded animal shelter in Central CA. He was originally adopted from the shelter as a tiny puppy, but was returned as a young adult when the family had to move. He was a staff and volunteer favorite at the shelter, but found himself on the euthanasia list due to no fault of his own. We stepped in to save his life, and we have all fallen head over heels in love with him. He can't wait to be your new best friend!

Noor is a perfect example of how amazing rescue dogs can be. He is gentle, friendly, well-mannered, and oh-so cute! Everyone who meets him can't help but fall in love with his adorable, big brown eyes and charming personality. He has great energy and is happy to be lazy at home, but is always down for an adventure around town. He has done great joining his foster family for meals at dog-friendly restaurants and hosting dinner parties at home. He loves his walks around the UCD Arboretum and is great on leash. He is very much food-obsessed, but has good manners around food. Noor knows his basic manners, and is eager to learn more - especially if food is involved. He would make a great first-time dog for someone who wants a moderate-energy dog who is past the crazy puppy phase.

Noor has done great living with another large dog, and they love to wrestle and cuddle together. He would do great with a doggy sibling (or siblings) in his new home, but he also wouldn't mind being your only dog - more attention for him! Noor has done great living with a dog-savvy cat. Noor could be a wonderful addition to a family with respectful kids.

Noor is housetrained and is comfortable hanging out in his crate while home alone and sleeping in there overnight. Noor has been doing very well living in an apartment with daily exercise.

Noor is practically perfect, but tragically, we have learned that he was born with a heart defect (subaortic stenosis) that can't be cured. He has been started on medication to help slow his heart rate (which is less than $20 a month), but at some point, he will go into heart failure. He will have a significantly shorter lifespan than most dogs, and his heart will need to be monitored to assess how his condition progresses. While this is horrible news, Noor doesn't need any activity restrictions and can continue to do all the things he loves.

We know that adopting Noor means you will only get a short time with him, but we promise that taking a chance on a boy with a broken heart will be worth all the love he will bring to your life. If you think Noor is the special pup you have been searching for, submit an application today!

Noor's adoption fee is $300.

Adopting a dog in Hidden Valley Lake

Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.

Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.

Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
