Story
Kai is very lovable. He can take a little bit to get used to new people and animals, but once he does all he wants is to snuggle and play. He's high energy so he needs to be able to go on frequent walks, but he's also very spoilt and does not WANT to walk. Being able to run around in a yard would probably help. But he's also a pup that doesn't like to be left alone, he acts out when he's left home alone too long. He was at one point crate trained so he can be again, and his favorite toys are Lambchop and tugawar ropes. He's not really a digger, but he does try to destroy his favorite toys and won't play with hard ones. He can't have salmon in his food or treats because it makes him puke. His favorite place to sit is up on my shoulders, and sometimes when you're holding him he'll wrap his front legs around your arm if he knows he's getting put down.

Story
Meet Ghost! 🐾 Ghost is a big, kind, lovable, and loyal shepherd who is 10 years young. Ghost came to us as a stray with an injury to his front right leg from too many years spent laying on hard floors. Despite his injury, he has been the bestest and kindest boy as he recovers from his injury and is a staff favorite. Some things to know about Ghost: 🏡 - He is currently living in a foster home and is available to see by appointment. 🐕 - When it comes to other dogs, he's picky about his K9 friends and can be defensive of his "person", toys, and food. 🐈‍⬛ - As for felines, he would do best in a home without cats. 🚫 - He is afraid of stairs and would do best in a home where he can be with his humans on a single level. 💊 - While he would claim otherwise, he has some moderate arthritis that is well treated with inexpensive medicine. He loves short walks and is more than capable of jumping into bed for nighttime cuddles. 🧬 - His fosters got curious and had him DNA tested: https://www.wisdompanel.com/app/s/kbg4p6v Ghost is neutered, microchipped, and will be up to date on vaccines before heading home, so he'll be ready for his fresh start. Ghost is looking for a soft place to land where he can spend his golden years close to his people. Give this sweet, loyal old gentleman a little patience, a comfy bed, and plenty of love, and he’ll give you a devoted companion who still has plenty of life—and cuddles—left to share. ❤️ If you are interested in meeting Ghost, please reach out to his foster, Chris, at chrish@westvalleyhumanesociety.org

Story
Cameron is a handsome large mixed-breed puppy with a whole lot of potential! His previous family was told he was a Cane Corso, although his actual breed mix is unknown. Whatever is in that DNA, Cameron is still very much a puppy who needs an experienced, confident dog owner ready to give him the structure, training, and consistency he needs to become a great adult dog. Cameron already knows sit, lay down, load up, unload, go inside, and go to bed, and he's harness trained. He's still working on stay and learning what is—and isn't—appropriate to chew. 😂 Crate training will be important when he's home alone. He has lived with young children and cats and can live with larger dogs, but no small dogs, please. Cameron loves the dog park, swimming, car rides, crinkly toys, and balls. 🎾💦 🐾 Large mixed-breed puppy 👧 Has lived with young kids 🐈 Good with cats 🐕 Large dogs only — no small dogs 🎓 Already knows several commands 🦮 Harness trained 💦 LOVES the water 🚗 Enjoys car rides 🏡 Needs continued training & crate training ❤️ Needs an experienced, confident owner Cameron can be nervous when unfamiliar people approach him too quickly and may bark or growl when he's scared. He needs someone who will understand those signals, advocate for his space, and help him build confidence through positive experiences. With patience, boundaries, and continued training, Cameron has all the potential to grow into a wonderful companion. 💙🐾
