Story
Tutu is a 11 month old and 56 pound dog who is looking for her forever home. She is a playful dog that loves to romp and play! If you really get her riled up she`ll start jumping like a ballerina! With the right training; she`d probably do wonders at agility! A great thing about her is that once she gets her exercise all she wants to do is play with her chew toys and cuddle with you! She`s got a great on and off switch with the right routine and training implemented!My adoption fee has been sponsored in honor of Bert`s adoption. That means she`s free to adopt!I don’t have a history with dogs. I may do well with a slow introduction to new dogs.I don’t have a history with cats. I may do well with them with a slow introduction.I don’t have a history with children but I may do well with them.If you are interested in this specific animal, please come to the shelter for walk-in adoptions Tuesday through Saturday from 10:30am to 5:30pm.

Story
Voltaire is a 1 year old dog who weighs 86 pounds. He came to the Sacramento SPCA from Pasadena Humane Society, so their shelter could have space for animals affected by the fires. He’s a big boy that is a total athlete in the making. If having an Olympian by your side sounds like your thing, Voltaire would be more than happy to oblige. He`s named after the philosopher because he`s not just brawn.. but brains to boot! Strength, speed, and smarts too; with the right trainer this guy would definitely shine!My adoption fee has been sponsored by a loving fan!I don’t have a history with dogs.
