Story
Nora is a 6 year old sweet girl. We rescued her at 4 months as she was recovering from Parvo (medical bills were why she was put up for adoption). She is 25% American Staffordshire Terrier, 25% German Sheppard, 25% Black Lab, 25% everything else. PERSONALITY Nora is a very loving, playful girl. She well behaved after doing extensive training with Doggie Do Good in Arroyo Grande. She is very friendly and enjoys meeting new people. People are her favorite. She is friendly, but is protective of her home, especially if people come into the yard w/o giving notice. HEALTH & GROOMING Nora is very healthy and strong and is current with all her vaccines. WHY DO WE NEED TO REHOME HER? We love her dearly, but can no longer keep her. There is a competitive chemistry between her and our other dog in the presence of dogs that are not part of our pack. She’s fine with other dogs once she knows them, but when walking on-leash and passing by other dogs she doesn’t know, she becomes aggressive.

Story
Boston is a full bred miniature pinscher and a great little guy who loves his humans and wants to sit in a lap whenever possible. Found as a stray in SLO county this little guy ended up at the bottom of the list of wanted dogs when the shelter filled up and his age did him in, 12 is a guess but Boston is full of nice energy and may be younger. He is really cute. Great with dogs and cats and house trained. He makes funny sounds and is pretty talkative. Really cute in real life and rather a character. Funny little guy who has been here a long time now.

Story
Please read the last two sentences before proceeding. This little guy was found in the Avenal area then transferred to Corcoran then scooped up by a local humane society. But Russo wasn't loving a kennel environ so he came here. He is shy and fearful but not aggressive and loves the company of other animals. He seems to thrive in a pack. He will come for treats and will approach to say hello and ever day seems to warm up more and more. He is now allowing petting. We think he has great potential for a patient adopter who will let him see how great being a people dog can be. He is a youngster at about two years old. And CUTE as a button! Great size too, He will take patience but will be so worth the time. He should not be an only dog. Russo needs a playmate or two. he plays great with dogs and that is his comfort zone. Right now we deem him feral and not ready for a home. It might be a huge set back, catching him will take a lot currently..

Story
Dana came to us from King's County Shelter because she had won the hearts of the staff. She is blind, but can hear well and gets around great. Dana is shy and will nip before she knows you, but is happy to take treats, and affectionate once she warms up. Make sure you watch the video that came from the shelter; it is behavior we have seen at the rescue as well. Dana is incredibly confident and intelligent and cool looking with a long strip of fur down her spine. She stands to come out of her turtle shell and make someone a most interesting pet. I wish someone special with dog savvy would step up for her. I would love reports of her finally trusting totally. She dances and twirls when she hears familiar voices. SMART sad dog! What fun Dana will be... You wont trip over Dana...she is brighter than most people..

Full bred min pin who desperately needs a great home because Lucky is a wonderful companion dog who would thrive in a home as he loves to be with his human but leary of the dogs because they tend to pick on him. He loves some dogs and tolerates others. We call him the ultimate drama queen! Lucky needs a home!. Lucky is loving, smart, good looking, could care less that he is blind. We would love to have someone reach out to help get Lucky on the right path. House trained and quirky and funny. ..BLIND IS NO BIG DEAL with a guy like Lucky

Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Story
Daisy was an owner surrender to an LA pound in Van Nuys and when she got there was not happy! She can be a grouch and IS a grouch to dogs who cross her path. And though she likes her humans she can also lash out at them when startled and she has very sharp needle teeth and can bite. Cute, stout and low to the ground she is just adorable. She is house trained and although she is blind she does not act like that matters a bit though perhaps that makes her more intolerable of being startled. She would love to be an only dog! If you handle with care and know your stuff then you will have a sweet friend.
