Story
We need to rehome our dog Poppy. She just turned 1 year old in January. Due to our busy schedules and new job we just don’t have the time to work with Poppy and give her the attention she needs. She does need some training but does very well at home and is good on a leash. Due to our hoa and location we can only have a 4 foot high fence and she can climb this very easily. This makes it very difficult letting her outside and we don’t wanna keep her tied up or inside all day everyday. She is a very loving and energetic dog and loves playing with kids. If you have any questions please reach out. Thank you.

Story
Starr is a love bug and loves people, but is still a great watch dog. She loves to get out and get exercise. She was rescued from the local pound. She has a crate, she isn’t crazy about being in it, but when given a nice treat she deals with it when she needs to be left alone. She’s very eager to please and knows sit, shake, other paw and down. She has lots of energy and thinks it’s her job to chase stray cats.

Story
Luna is 7 years old and a mix breed. We love Luna, but we live in too small of a home. Luna used to sleep on our bed with us, but we have a new baby in the home and we have had to crate her at night, which she is not a fan of. We are seeking a home that Luna can be free to run around and not be confined to a crate. Luna is very sweet, a cuddler, and a really great dog. We leave her in the house all day when we work and she does great. She does struggle with some anxiety, mostly around the car, the vet, and the crate. We really love Luna and want her to go to a home of loving people that she can have more room to roam.

Licorice

Mastiff Mixed Breed (Medium)

Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
This loving girl is a true comeback kid. These days she is happy and making big progress. Licorice is learning that most people have treats and she's slowly letting her guard down around strangers. It really helps her to spend time around other dogs. Licorice loves every dog she meets, especially the ones who like to play with her and aren't afraid of her size. Deep down, she's still a puppy. We're looking for a loving home who will support her and help her feel safe so she can relax and enjoy the good life. Licorice found herself on a euthanasia list at the crowded Contra Costa shelter in the East Bay. None of the staff could touch her and she cowered in the back corner of her kennel. A rescue group we hadn't heard of pulled her and sent her straight to an adopter who was not prepared for a terrified, shut down, giant dog who was a flight risk. Licorice was so scared. She escaped from her adopter's fenced yard in Calistoga after being there less than three hours. Licorice was in an unfamiliar area and had no one she could trust. Since this happened in our area, WCAL was asked to help catch her safely before she was hit by a car or caused an accident crossing a very busy road. It took 72 days and a lot of chicken and patience since no one could get within 20 feet of this big, smart dog. Licorice was caught in a specialized trap and now she is safe. Her adopter asked us to find her a great home and that's our goal. We had her spayed and she got a clean bill of health from our veterinarian. We were surprised to learn that Licorice is just a baby at perhaps one-year-old. Now Licorice is in a foster home with a local reward-based trainer who is helping her get a fresh start. They are working on all the basics like potty training, crate training, walking on leash, taking treats from strangers, and making new friends. Licorice is really enjoying the company of other dogs and spends tons of time in doggy playgroups each day. She trusts dogs more than humans, but we're making progress. She LOVES rotisserie chicken! Licorice likes dogs of all sizes but isn't always aware of her size or how intimidating she can be to smaller dogs. Her ideal adopter has another well-socialized, confident dog, a calm home without many regular visitors, and is committed to force-free animal handling. She is going to bond closely with her next human and be an amazing companion. At only one year old, she's very much a silly puppy who likes stealing shoes, playing with toys and deserves an understanding and patient person who is ready for a long term commitment. We don't want this special girl to ever find herself scared at the back of a lonely kennel or running loose on the streets again! Follow us on social media for daily updates!
