He enjoys long walks and has an energy of a puppy. He is very friendly and loves attention. He is great with kids and people too. He is trained and knows how to sit, dance, speak, play dead, roll over and high five. Overall he is a smart dog.

Story

Coda was my granddaughters dog and she recently passed (5-7-23). I've tried to keep my word to her that I wouldn't put her dogs down but I am losing our home. She acquired Coda through an add. Coda is very loving, loves attention and is just a terrific dog, unfortunately due to my age and health I'm having a hard time tending or even taking him for walks. Apartments don't want pit bulls or dogs over 25lbs. l, I have Coda and Mamaz.Mamaz is also at least part pit bull, she was dumped and bottle fed until no longer need. I would love to find a home for Mamaz also as she was my granddaughters baby. They are both microchipped. Both house trained. Mamaz is fixed, Coda is not. My memory isn't good, Coda 6, Mamaz 8 yrs. Please help to save both dogs.

Mamaz was found by my granddaughter, she was to young to be taken from her mother. My granddaughter bottle fed her until she could eat on her own. Mamaz is a loving dog loves attention which she is no longer getting. My granddaughter passed (5-7-2023) and I made a promise that I wouldn't put her down if anything happen. I've tried to keep my word but I am now 72 and I am not physically able to tend to her as well or walk her. She loves to lay with you and cuddle. I am losing my home and no apt. will take her due to her breed or size and the fact I can't handle her. I hate going thru this but am hoping someone wants a loving dog that loves attention.

Story

Auggie is a nice dog, but he does not realize how big he is. When the kids are over he runs to get out the door or anywhere and knocks them down he even pushes us out the way. The little dogs bark at him sometimes he pushes them with his head again doesn’t realize how big he is and they slam against the wall. Other than that he is a good dog he just sits there or wants to play fetch, he loves the water but gets ear infections easily. Auggie is a good dog we just can’t take care of him like we can.

Looking to re-home Ruby a year and half old female German shepherd. I've had some severe allergy symptoms that made it impossible to work. I went to a doctor and was diagnosed with dander allergy. I got Ruby from a casual breeder in Carmichael. No paperwork was available. Ruby is trained and knows basic commands. She is friendly and great with people and other dogs. She loves playing fetch and is a fast runner. She also enjoys swimming. She doesn't mind taking bath and de-shedding. All shots are up to date. Ruby is not neutered yet. Ideally, she needs a home with where she will be taken on 30 min to 1hr walks twice a day.

Story

Moved to assisted/independent living and he is not adjusting well. He dislikes large dogs. He could probably adjust to a smaller dog in the house. Currently lives with a smaller dog in an apartment We acquired him at the Amador County Shelter I'm guessing at 3 years of age and think he is about 8. He has just begun having occasional seizures, but he is on 1 tablet per day of phenalbarbitol, 15mg per day with no seizures. He is crate trained and knows his name. He walks well on leash but wants to be in the lead. He will give chase to cats or squirrels.
