Dogs for Adoption in Manteca, CA: 30 Dogs Looking for a Home

Add a belly-rub and he is your best friend! Daily walks with short intervals of play (monitored for assertiveness) with his foster-mate appear to satisfy his exercise needs. This may expand, of course, as he builds more muscle and strength.Given his puppy-nature, he uses his height to his advantage by occasionally searching the counters for any unattended goodies, or to greet his humans face-to-face (in case you didn't notice him) to give you kisses. This is diminishing with consistent corrections and discovering that food and affection are no longer scarcities in his world. Even at ground-level, there are no shortages of kisses from this boy.Shaeffer walks well on a leash and is becoming more eager for his car rides. He sleeps in a crate at night and is housebroken with a dog door. If you are searching for a new family member, this guy has the characteristics that make him a wonderful loving companion.Cats and small critters unknown.This dog is a Level 2.

Prissy is a smarty-pants who learns quickly and is eager to pick up new skills and commands. With her intelligence, confidence, and loving nature, she has all the makings of a wonderful companion. We can picture her becoming your cuddly best friend, your adventure buddy, and the beautiful girl who turns heads wherever she goes!

At this stage in her young life, Prissy is still learning how to navigate relationships with other dogs and develop the social skills that will help her feel comfortable and confident around them. She's on her way, and with patient guidance, positive experiences, and continued learning, she has so much potential.

Currently weighing about 46 pounds, Prissy is a little on the thin side after life on the streets, but she's getting the care she needs. She's vetted and ready to begin her next chapter!

Could Prissy be the missing piece in your life? This special girl has already overcome a rough beginning, and now it's time for her to discover the joys of a loving home, new adventures, and a human who believes in her.

Contact NorSled to meet Prissy. Her next adventure — and her happily-ever-after — could start with you!

Max will delight you with his gentle spirit, loyal heart, and quiet charm. If you're looking for a devoted friend who simply needs someone to believe in him, Max may be the perfect match.

Snow’s one serious placement requirement is that she must be the only pet in a home without cats or other small animals. She has a very high prey drive. Her behavior appears to be related to prey drive rather than aggression toward people or larger dogs, as she has consistently been affectionate and social with both. Snow is delightful and her spunky attitude makes her charm quite endearing!

She can be a little shy when meeting new people, but she’s curious and likes to keep an eye on what’s going on. She may not run right up to strangers to say hello, but give her a little time and patience, and I think you’ll see more and more of her sweet personality come out. She already follows me around and gives me the sweetest kisses. ❤️

Zoey has been getting along wonderfully with my mellow, easygoing husky, Dominic. She’s also been playing with my parents’ female husky/shepherd, who is twice her size! She enjoys a little playtime and then happily settles down for a nap. So far, she seems to have a nice medium energy level.

♀️ She loves going for walks and does pretty well on a leash. Like many huskies, she has a curious eye for anything that moves, especially a cat darting across the road, so she’ll need a family who understands the breed and will keep her safely leashed.

She has even learned to jump up into my Tahoe like a pro! She’s still a little unsure about jumping back out, so I help her down for now. She’s learning new things every day!

Zoey also did well on her first outing to a wine bar. She was able to experience a new environment and take it all in at her own pace. She may be a little reserved at first, but there’s a sweet, inquisitive girl in there waiting to blossom.

I think Zoey would really enjoy having a friendly, well-matched doggy companion in her new home. Another dog could give her a buddy to play with and help her continue building confidence.

Are you looking for a beautiful husky girl with a sweet soul, a curious mind, and lots of love to give? Zoey might just be your girl!

With a little patience, a loving home, and time to feel secure, I think this pretty girl is going to blossom into an amazing companion. ❤️

Maeve is also a sensitive soul. She does best with calm, consistent boundaries and a predictable routine. She can become overwhelmed by social pressure, especially around other dogs, and prefers her own private space to retreat and decompress. She has made tremendous progress learning that her crate is her safe place and that humans can be trusted to give her space when she needs it.

She is not looking for a household that expects instant perfection. Her ideal family will appreciate that beneath the dramatic royal persona is a dog who is still learning how to feel completely secure in the world.

Give Her Majesty patience, structure, respect, and a little cheese, and she will reward you with goofy antics, affection, loyalty, and approximately 90 pounds of emotional support queen.

Ricky can occasionally be a little protective of his things, so his adopter should be mindful of his tendency to resource guard and continue working with him using positive, reward-based training. He also has occasional accidents in the house, although he seems to understand that the yard is the place to do his business and is making progress with his house manners.

Most of all, Ricky is simply a very sweet, loving little guy who wants what most dogs want: to be loved, cared for, and close to his person. He has so much affection to give and would love to find someone who will appreciate his gentle, endearing personality while helping him continue to learn and grow.

If you’re looking for a tiny companion with a huge capacity for love, Ricky would be thrilled to meet you! ❤️

One of Freddie’s most charming qualities is his calm demeanor. He isn’t much of a howler, so your neighbors are likely to appreciate him as much as you do. When he does speak up, it’s with a beautiful, deep bark that he uses sparingly.

Like many intelligent dogs, Freddie can be determined and persistent when he has his mind set on something. Fortunately, that determination is paired with a sweet, loving temperament that makes him a wonderful companion.

If you're looking for a loyal, gentle, and fun-loving best friend, Freddie may be the perfect match.

He rides nicely in the car, and his leash manners improve daily. He would love a home with another dog that appreciates his exuberance, and a home with a swimming pool/jacuzzi would thrill him to no end! This guy LOVES the water! While he’s already a friendly companion, he’ll benefit from ongoing socialization and training to help him shine even brighter. With the right guidance, this energetic pup is sure to become a wonderful addition to any loving home.No cats or small critters Level 2

A calm, gentle home where she can get plenty of time and attention. She could do well with a friendly, calm dog, but does not need to live with another dog. She would enjoy one or more short walks each day.

He would much rather be hanging out with you.Other dogs: Sully is very social and friendly w/ other friendly dogs. He would likely do well with another chill, friendly dog who matches his easygoing energy.Cats: Sully currently lives well w/ a confident cat. With a proper intro he should do ok living with cats.Kids: Sully is a big guy! He can absolutely knock over small kids. Ideally best w/ older kids comfortable around giants.Quirks: Despite his size, Sully is pretty convinced he is lap-dog sized. He would happily spend his whole day following you around, leaning on you, and being your oversized drooly shadow.Ideal home: Sully would thrive with someone comfortable with giant breeds who understands the importance of keeping a big guy’s joints safe and their maintenance and costs. He’s already ramp trained for getting in and out of the car and would love someone who wants to bring him along rather than leave him behind. Someone looking for a big goofy bff to tag along for coffee runs, walks, little adventures, and then come home and hang out on the couch. Sully really just wants to be included in life, and honestly, with that big drooly face, it’s pretty hard not to include him.

And those looks! Baja is one seriously handsome boy. We're pretty sure he's going to turn heads everywhere he goes — so his lucky adopter should be prepared for plenty of attention! Because he's still a young husky, Baja will do best with a family that has a little husky savvy and is ready to continue his training, provide plenty of exercise and enrichment, and help him grow into the amazing adult dog he's destined to become. He's got the brains, the beauty, and the heart. NOW all Baja needs is his person. You'll want to meet this special boy soon — because we have a feeling Baja won't be waiting long!

Pixie has already shown what a lovely companion she can be. At her foster home, she happily slept in bed with her foster and the other dogs. She gets along beautifully with canine friends and loves to play. She’s the kind of dog who seems to understand that life is finally getting better, and she’s ready to embrace every bit of it.

Because Pixie spent time living on the streets, she’ll need some patient guidance as she learns to navigate leash walks and the hustle and bustle of everyday life. But at just about 10 months old, she’s at the perfect age to learn, grow, and blossom into an incredible companion. With a little encouragement, consistency, and love, she’ll be ready to take on the world — and bond so deeply with her person that it will be hard to imagine she ever had a different life.

Pixie is about 10 months old, weighing in at around 55 pounds, and she carries her size elegantly.

We simply cannot say enough wonderful things about this sweet girl. She’s beautiful, bright, social, playful, and full of promise. Now she needs someone willing to help her discover just how wonderful life can be.

Come meet Pixie!
We think you’ll fall in love, too, and understand why everyone who meets her agrees: this girl is truly one of a kind.

Duke would thrive with someone patient, steady, and willing to show him that the world isn’t as scary as it once seemed. Give him time, guidance, and a soft place to land, and he’ll reward you with devotion that runs deep.

She gets along well with other small dogs, but given the choice, Peridot would probably rather be curled up next to her human on the couch watching TV.
Peridot does have a medical condition that her future family should understand. She has been diagnosed with low-grade mammary adenocarcinoma, a type of cancer affecting the mammary glands. Her veterinarian estimates that she may have another 1–5 years, although every dog's journey is different. Her mammary glands and any changes in her masses will need continued monitoring so that her comfort and quality of life remain the priority. Umbrella of Hope is committed to Peridot's well-being and will cover the cost of euthanasia when the time comes and it is no longer kind to ask her to stay. She deserves to live out her days surrounded by love, comfort, and all the good things life has to offer.
And Peridot?
She is still her same happy, loving little self.
She wants to go for walks, snuggle up with her favorite people, collect all the treats, and enjoy the simple pleasures of being someone's beloved little dog. Her diagnosis hasn't changed her sunny personality or her desire to be part of a family.
Peridot would be a wonderful match for someone looking for a devoted little companion who enjoys a predictable routine, gets along with other small dogs, has excellent house manners, and thinks the best seat in the house is the one directly beside you.
Adopting Peridot means opening your heart to a dog whose future may be uncertain—but whose capacity to love is not. She doesn't need someone to feel sorry for her. She needs someone who sees the happy, affectionate little girl she is today and wants to make her days as wonderful as possible.
There are walks to take, cuddles to share, treats to enjoy, and so much love still to give.Peridot is waiting for someone to look at her and say, “That's my girl.”

In his foster home, he is:* Doing great with potty training (always expect a learning curve when adjusting to new environments)* Fully mastering “Sit”* Progressing nicely with crate trainingPierre enjoys the company of other animals and gets along well with both dogs and cats. If a cat runs, he may try to join the chase, but it’s all in playful fun.Pierre is also a vocal little guy and can be barky and talkative, especially when he’s excited or alerting you to something. Because of this, apartment living or homes with close neighbors probably aren’t the best fit.🧠 Behavior & Training NeedsLike many rescue dogs, Pierre can become fearful in unfamiliar or stressful situations, especially at the veterinarian and during grooming. When scared, he may become defensive and nippy.He will need:* An adopter who understands canine body language and recognizes his fear signals* Continued positive reinforcement training and confidence building* A calm, patient home that can safely manage veterinary and grooming visits* Ongoing structure, exercise, and mental enrichmentDespite these challenges, Pierre is incredibly sweet in his everyday environment and thrives when he feels safe, understood, and included in the family.✂️ Grooming NeedsPierre will require professional grooming every 4â€"6 weeks. Regular grooming is essential, as his coat will become painfully matted if neglected.💙 Our CommitmentAt K9 Paw Print Rescue, we require a detailed adoption application because we are committed to finding the right homeâ€"not just the next home. Our goal is to ensure our dogs never have to experience the heartbreak of losing their family again.🐶 Ready to Apply?If you think Pierre might be your perfect match, we’d love to hear from you!🐾 Apply to adopt at www.K9PPR.org

Because Kaspar is still in his playful, mouthy puppy stage, a home without small children would be best. He’s not aggressive, he just hasn’t learned yet that humans aren’t chew toys.

Kaspar is ready to learn, play, love, and grow up with his forever family.

Best of all, Titan is incredibly adaptable. Active household? He’s in. More laid-back? He can do that too.

Fully vetted and ready to find his forever pack.
