17. Doc
Puppy · Female · Australian Shepherd / Mixed









The "Back To The Future" litter of pups is 1.21 gigawatts of pure cuteness! With
their mesmerizing eyes, unique coat colors and patterns, they are sure to win an Oscar!
Doc is approximately 12 weeks old and weighs approx. 10lbs. Like any
puppy she is in need of
training and someone who is willing to work with her.
True to her Aussie heritage Doc does like to herd her people. However, she is smart and takes corrections well so will thrive with a committed family to train her on the "do's and don'ts."
Read more about Doc
Foster Home Update: Any children in the home should be older. She plays very actively and loves to play "hard" with the other dogs in her foster home. She would love to have another dog in her forever home to wrestle with. Probably one on the younger side as she wrestles hard and I imagine it would be irritating to an older dog. She likes to follow you around the house. Is not found of the crate and does bark in the crate, will settle, however this is when there are other dogs in the same room with her so I do not know how she would be alone. Loves bones and toys!
She would excel in obedience training!

20. Chi-Chi
Adult · Male · Chihuahua / Mixed (short coat)




Chi-Chi was a local stray saved after being placed on the top of a dumpster with no way to get down - how cruel! When he arrived, he weighed only 4.5lbs and he looked it!
Since being in his foster home with good, nutritious food, receiving appropriate vetting exam, he has double his weight and the transformation is heartwarming and makes every rescuer smile with happy tears! (see photos for his glow-up)!!!!!
He is estimated to be 3-4 years old and weighs approximately 9-10lbs and is still filling out to a healthy weight!
Foster Home Update:
Read more about Chi-Chi
He LOVES women and food (understandable!) is good with other dogs in the home (a Shepherd and another foster puppy) and doesn't care about the resident cat either! He is an 'atypical Chi' that gets comfy and accepts adults in the home and those he is familiar with that do not live with him when allowed to warm up on his terms. He does like to be the apple of your eye and will tell the other pets in the home "mine, mine, mine - go away". He is crate trained too! Kids should be older (no toddlers) and Chihuahua personality 'savvy'!
We recommend training for all our dogs!
Chi-chi’s adoption donation has been reduced to $300 due to a generous donor.

21. Sodoku
Puppy · Female · Terrier / Mixed










The "Fun & Games gamers" of tiny terriers are sweet, sassy and special! They were born in rescue in July and they do well with other dogs, cats, birds and kids!
These gamers are now 13 weeks old and weigh between 8-10lbs. They are working on house training, mealtime manners, and are very familiar with the "Leave It" command.
Foster Home Update: Sodoku is a special needs pup with vision impairment in one eye, but that does not slow her down!
Read more about Sodoku
She's an independent girl that prefers to have fun vs being a cuddle bunny. She has created her own gait, not a walk, but not quite a run - but somewhere in between. Gets along with the dogs and cat, and other foster pups. Pad trained but still has accidents.
Photo of Mom (Bingo) is included for reference and she is also available for adoption!

22. Bingo
Young · Female · Terrier / Mixed




There is a rescue that has a momma and Bingo is her name-o!
B-I-N-G-O. (Sing it with us)! This beautiful momma arrived with a belly full of babies and a hope to give them the best life.
She has a few scars, including and injury that caused her to lose an eye, but her heart is full of love and a little zest for fun.
Bingo gave birth to a surprisingly big litter of the most precious little faces and has done a great job taking care of them. Now it’s time for her to find her fur-ever family.

She is approximately 3 years old and weighs right near 25lbs and is a nice medium sized terrier mix. She is very shy, though her body language tells a very different story. She needs a home with patience that will allow her to adjust at her own pace. Once she gets to know you, the happiness will shine through as she wags not only her tail but her entire little body.
She has been around children, but prefers to not interact. She is unbothered by the cat and does fine with other dogs. Another dog in her potential forever home will also allow her to feel more relaxed and gain confidence.
This little lady just wants a peaceful place to call her own and promises she is worth it!
She will do well with formal training.
We recommend training for all our dogs!

23. Zuri
Young (6 months) · Female · Bernese Mountain Dog / Mixed



Meet Zuri - A Gentle Bernese Looking for a Patient Home
Zuri arrived to us a two months back and has been slowly starting to improve, and is finally ready for an adopter who is not looking for an already perfect dog. She will need patience, love, and time to become the amazing girl she is intended to be. Someone with previous under socialized dog experience would be ideal for her.
BEFORE APPLYING PLEASE BE AWARE THAT SHE WILL NEED ANOTHER DOG IN THE HOME, A FENCED YARD, AND IF THERE ARE ANY CHILDREN IN THE HOME THEY NEED TO BE OLDER AND DOG SAVVY.
Foster home update:
Read more about Zuri
Zuri is a beautiful Bernese Mountain Dog with a sweet, sensitive soul who is looking for an understanding family willing to help her continue building confidence. While she can be shy when faced with new people, places, and noises, once she feels safe she shows her affectionate, playful side and is highly motivated by food, treats, and mealtime.
One of Zuri's best qualities is her gentle nature. She is wonderful with older, respectful children who give her the space she needs. She does well with cats, and is exceptionally quiet.
In the yard, Zuri enjoys playful zoomies, chasing a ball, and exploring her surroundings. She is beginning to form bonds with other dogs and has recently started learning by watching and copying positive canine behaviors. It's rewarding to see her confidence grow a little more each day.
Zuri is crate trained and rides calmly in the car once she's loaded up. She appreciates clear, gentle guidance and currently responds well to being directed where she needs to go, whether that's outside or into her crate.
Like many dogs who have not had consistent training, Zuri will need continued work in several areas. She is not yet fully house-trained and may have accidents, particularly in her bedding. She is also a curious collector of household items and has developed a habit of picking up belongings and chewing shoes if given the opportunity. Prospective adopters should be prepared to manage her environment and continue teaching appropriate chew habits.
Zuri's confidence-building journey is still ongoing. She can be skittish around unfamiliar situations, does not yet walk well on a leash, and may need encouragement to get into the car. She also has some less glamorous dog habits, including rolling in and occasionally eating animal droppings, which her future family should be aware of.
The ideal home for Zuri is one that understands that not every dog arrives as a finished product. She will thrive with patient adopters who can provide structure, positive reinforcement, and time to adjust. In return, they'll gain a loving, quiet companion whose sweet personality shines brighter as her confidence grows.
If you're willing to celebrate small victories, laugh at a few goofy moments, and help a gentle Bernese discover that the world isn't so scary, Zuri may be the perfect addition to your family.
If you feel you have the time, patience and love to work with Zuri apply today!

25. Bear Claw
Adult · Male · Shepherd / Collie / Mixed








Bear Claw is approximately 3 years old and weighs between 60-70lbs. Our rescue partners found him dumped in a wooded area. He's a little shy, but very sweet and loves kids! A home with a fenced yard is preferred to allow him to enjoy his outside time!
Foster Home Update:
Bear Claw is a playful yet calm fellow. He is most happy playing with other dogs and learning from them so his new home must have another dog in order to help him transition.
Read more about Bear Claw
He settled in slowly and is housebroken. While he loves to play with other dogs he is also content to have some solo playtime with toys. He'll hang out in the yard alone or with a companion. Bear Claw is not a fan of the car, but looks forward to his walks and is gentle on leash. He is very friendly, and is quickly becoming a neighborhood favorite greeting every person and dog along the way.
He is crate trained but can be trusted in the home overnight, or when his foster is out.
He'll make a great family dog!

26. Mimi CA
Adult · Female · Cairn Terrier / Mixed





This sweet girl has just arrived and Mimi is estimated to be 3-4 years old and weighs about 22lbs.
She is said to be dog friendly and people loving! Mimi is uncomfortable with being picked up unless in her desired method, so she will not be suited for a home with kids that are 12 or younger.
Foster home update: Mimi is
doing great settling in! She is crate trained and house broke, dog friendly and playful on her terms. She is a big cuddle bug and does great on leash when out for a walk!
We recommend training for all our dogs!
Mimi CA adoption donation has been reduced to $300 due to a generous donor.
