Dogs for Adoption in Tracy, 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.

She’s affectionate without being demanding and loves being close to her humans. Belly rubs, cuddles, doggy kisses (she might even try to sneak you a little kiss on the lips!), and simply hanging out together are right up her alley.

Daisy enjoys walks, car rides, running at the park, and rolling around in the grass. She’s also a lovely houseguest: fully potty trained, crate trained, sleeps well through the night, and is beginning to enjoy playing independently with her toys.

She’s not particularly food-motivated and would much rather have your company, but peanut butter, cheese, or a little broth on her kibble can certainly get her attention!

And good news for cat lovers: Daisy has been tested with cats in a home environment and passed her cat test!

Daisy would do well in an active household, with or without another friendly dog. She’s an adaptable, affectionate girl who would love a family to call her own.

If you’re looking for a sweet, gentle, 28-lb companion who will happily share your walks, your couch, and probably a few kisses, Daisy might just be your girl! ❤️

A Clever, Well-Mannered Cookie: Milton knows “sit” and takes treats gently. Milton may look at other dogs during walks, but he’s easily redirected with treats and kissy noises.

We hold adoption events from San Francisco to the South Bay. Most dogs will be ready to go home the day of the adoption event. We accept credit cards and cash for our adoption fees.

Deku can be anxious in the shelter and is a strong puller on leash, especially when he sees other dogs. He has shown the ability to disengage and move on during dog introductions, and he may do well with a compatible canine friend after thoughtful introductions. He could also enjoy being the only dog in the home, with opportunities to socialize with suitable dog friends.

Deku would benefit from a family ready to help him build confidence and practice leash skills using patience and positive reinforcement. He has also received treatment for an ear infection and recently had a skin mass removed, so his adopter should review his medical disclosures and follow up with their veterinarian. If you’re looking for a fun, affectionate companion and are ready to help a big guy settle into his next chapter, Deku would love to meet you!

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.

Silas enjoys exploring at his own pace and has been calm and non-reactive around other dogs. During introductions, he mostly did his own thing, occasionally stopping to sniff his canine companions. He may do well with a compatible dog friend or as a solo pup with opportunities to socialize.

Silas is still getting comfortable with the shelter environment, so he’ll benefit from a patient adopter who can give him time to settle in and help him build confidence. He can pull strongly on leash, so continued practice with positive reinforcement will help him develop good walking skills. If you’re willing to let a shy guy come out of his shell at his own pace, Silas could be a rewarding companion!

Affection Enthusiast: Cora loves pets and may nuzzle or gently paw at you to request more when you stop.
A Peaceful Night Owl: Cora settles comfortably in her bed and sleeps through the night. She has done well in her pen and crate area, though she managed to escape her foster pen on her first night.

Cora may enjoy life with a compatible canine companion or as a solo dog with opportunities to make dog friends. Her adopters should also schedule a veterinary visit to discuss her dental health and any additional senior-care needs.

Cheese enjoys meeting new people and is always happy to watch other animals and people outside. She is social and friendly and the most affectionate little puppy with anyone who gives her attention.

Her house training is going wonderfully. Cheese knows how to alert when she needs to go and easily uses potty pads, or will go outside when she’staken out.

Cheese will thrive with someone who wants a lovable companion and who enjoys cuddles, playing, and who is ready to put in work for positive reinforcement training. She is a calm, silly, and social puppy with tons of potential!

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!

Odin is still working on his leash skills and can pull quite hard, so he’ll benefit from patient, reward-based training. He’s currently underweight, and while a shelter vet found no immediate medical cause, he’ll need a follow-up health exam after adoption. If you’re looking for an affectionate companion to explore the world with, Odin could be your guy!

Ready, Set, Play! Jetty loves running around in the yard and playing fetch. She may need a little convincing to return the ball, but she’s happy to keep the fun going!
Smart Cookie: She sits for treats, and even offered her paw without being asked! She’s easy walk at the shelter, and reported to be crate trained.
Professional Cuddle Bug: Jetty leans in for extra pets and rubs, and she may roll onto her back to invite belly rubs.
Dog social: In playgroups, Jetty enjoys high-speed chase games and wrestling with compatible canine friends.

Jetty will be a wonderful match for an active home ready to channel her youthful energy into play, training, and affection. She’ll do best with appropriately matched dogs or as a solo dog with well-matched canine friends.

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. ❤️

Smart & Talented: Samson knows “sit,” “down,” and “paw,” and can put his paws on patio furniture on cue. He may even know “crawl”! He pulls mildly on leash, takes treats gently and is eager to learn.
Playful & Curious: He enjoys sniffing and exploring the yard, then gallops back when called. He loves engaging with his person and may hop onto a nearby lap for a closer connection.
Connected Companion: Samson checks in frequently and often stays close to his handler, especially when the world feels busy.
Dog Social: Samson plays well with other dogs in playgroup. He may pull mildly or whine softly when he spots a dog he wants to greet

Samson would do best with appropriately matched dogs or as a solo dog with well-matched canine friends.

Caspian could be a good match for a home with a well-suited canine companion or as a solo dog with opportunities to make dog friends. With positive reinforcement and continued guidance, he’ll be ready to build a great life with his new family!

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.
