Story
Location: Merced, CA Handsome hunky boy Jacques is around 11 months old. He was rescued off the streets by a kind elderly lady. No microchip or owner has been found. He is a big boy at 100 lbs and just a bit too much puppy for her to keep him. Jacques is sweet, friendly, a big lump of affection, super loving and great with the 4 yr. old child in the home. He loves car rides and playing in the yard chasing tennis balls. Chew bones are the bestest! He is partially blind in one eye but that doesn't stop him. He has been wonderful with the other dog & puppies that were also rescued off the streets, that are also with the elderly finder. Kitties are unknown. Jacques would make a wonderful addition to any family with his loving disposition.

Story
Meet Kali! 5-year-old Kali and her sister Kara (also available for adoption) were entrusted to our care through the Final Wish Program after their mom passed away. Kali was very loving and devoted to her mom, and with time, she will share her big heart with a new family. She enjoys playing fetch and is good with the 2-year-old granddaughter of her late owner. For the past 5 years, Kali lived with Kara, and they get along very well. They eat alongside each other without issue and share space and attention nicely. Both dogs earned high marks from the care staff where they boarded. Only a few days after becoming a Frosted Face, Kali was chosen for a two-week Frosted Fling. This will help us learn more about her in a home environment while allowing us to see how she and Kara do without the other. Happily, Kara is on a Fling getting lots of love in a home, too! Kali's fling mom shared this great first update: "Kali girl is loving her time at the Ranch! She met her pig and cow friends. We’re still not sure how we feel about cats, if they’re our friends or a toy, so for now we visit the kitties from a distance. Kali loves laying her head on your lap, that’s where she feels the safest. More updates to come when this rain stops, and we can go for walks and hikes!" Check back soon for the next update!

Story
Meet Indiana, a gentle one-year-old Mastiff mix from San Diego, CA, with the soul of a cuddler and a heart full of love. Weighing in at a "petite" 67 pounds, this tan beauty with striking dark facial features is a calm and loyal companion who loves to be the center of attention! Indy, as her friends call her, is the perfect blend of low energy and sweetness. She’s spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, house-trained, crate-trained, leash-savvy, and knows all her basic commands. Plus, she comes with a fantastic bonus: unlimited training sessions through Bark Busters (easily transferred to her new family). She’s already an obedient girl, but with this resource, she can continue to shine! Indiana is friendly with dogs of all sizes and absolutely adores children but would do best in a single dog environment with older children. Her easygoing nature makes her a great fit for playdates at the park or lounging at home with her favorite people.
