Featured Available Dogs

  • This cheerful and affectionate one-year-old girl, Penelope, is looking for a loving home where she can be an integral part of the family. She is good with kids, cats, and gentle dogs, and needs owners who can dedicate time to her.
  • A fun, adventurous and playful girl, one-year-old Hazel is always up for a good time. Respect and seek positive training support for her what’s-mine-is-mine behavior to help her reach her full potential.
  • When Athena's family lost their home, she was left looking for a new place to land. A shy-at-first, sweet young Golden who gets braver with every new friend, she will thrive with a doggy friend and active people who offer patience, playtime, and a little coaching.
  • Bentley landed at a shelter with a backstory only he knows. He has charmed everyone with his mellow, well-mannered five-year-old  self who is happiest within arm's reach of his people. He is looking for a quiet home, a secure yard, and a family that will stay close by.
  • Cowboy is a gentleman and a scholar, ready to ride into his next chapter after a change at his last home. A five-year-old Lab and Husky mix with a nose for adventure, he will thrive with easygoing, active people who want a well-mannered partner for trails, campfires, and quiet evenings on the couch.
  • Leo came in with his pal Lucky and is ready for a family that can keep up with him. A two-year-old Golden with miles of energy and a deep desire to please, he will thrive with active people who turn his enthusiasm into training, adventures, and a lifelong teammate.
  • Lucky is a big, happy goofball whose family ran short on time, and he is ready to make the most of someone else's. With his tail on permanent wag and his education still on the to-do list, he will thrive with active people who see a lesson in every walk and a reward in every snack.
  • Star wasted no time claiming a spot at everyone's feet. A five-year-old shadow with a gentle lap-snuggling style, she is a little nervous at first and then all in, thriving with happy voices, daily walks, and a four-legged friend to borrow courage from.
  • Sugar arrived by way of a kind stranger, and she has been winning hearts since day one.  This cheerful three-year-old is ready for a family who will share the couch, help her find her leash manners, and enjoy a Golden who greets every day like a celebration.
  • Lani turned up as a stray in the Central Valley but is putting that behind her and is finding the good in people. Eager to please, she is opening up with the help of her foster siblings and will blossom with patient people to help her complete her transformation.
  • A fetch champion who walks politely on leash and rolls in every patch of grass he can find, three-year-old Louie wants an active family where he can be the one and only dog in the spotlight.
  • A happy, people-loving guy who put a ruff start behind him, Philip is ready for his second chapter. Fearful of other dogs but a total sweetheart with humans, he will thrive as the one and only in a semi-active home with older kids and people in search of a devoted companion.
