12/16/24 01:48Doggy Day Out Report:Today I: went to Almaden Lake Park with my friend. I saw a lot of people, other doggy friends in the park! I sniffed a loooooooot of scents! After a long walk, I got a pupcup! It was so much fun!Three Words to Describe Me are: Affectionate, Happy, EnergeticNotes from My Walker: Mister is such a charming young pup here at SJACS! I took him out for a SVPP Shelter Dog Day Out last Wednesday, and we had an absolute blast!I leashed and harnessed him in the side yard at the end of my volunteer shift, just like I usually do. He was super excited and a bit wiggly, but I distracted him with some tasty treats, and he went along with it without any fuss.He was a bit unsure about getting into my car and needed a little boost, but he was happy to accept it. At the park, we saw lots of people walking, jogging, and biking, and he was friendly with everyone we met! He did get a little excited when he saw other dogs, but it was easy to manage—just keeping a bit of distance did the trick. Since he regularly participated in playgroup, I knew he got along well with other dogs; I just wanted to keep him calm during our walk. Although he pulled a bit, he often stopped to sniff around and generally walked well on the leash. He was super eager for treats and had a solid sit! He wasn`t reactive to the geese and ducks in the park. In fact, he got a bit startled when some geese took flight as we walked by!What touched me the most was his affectionate nature. He absolutely loved people! Whenever I stopped and called his name, he`d come running, lean against me, and let me pet him all over. You could really tell he enjoyed the attention!Come meet Mister! I bet you`ll fall in love with this loving and goofy boy right away!

03/05/25 09:27Here is RORI Tails and Trails Report Card for 2/20What did we do on today’s adventure: Today, I went to Almaden Lake Park with my friend! We went for a nice, long hike. It was so nice to get out of the shelter and enjoy the beautiful sunshine. I was a little cautious at first about meeting a new friend. Even though I was super excited and a little nervous, I was patient and friendly while she put on my collar and harness. I wasn’t quite sure how to get into the big SUV, but I let my new friend pick me up and put me in the car. I was very excited to find out that we were going to go on a walk to Almaden Lake Park. I had to smell everything at first, but after about 10 minutes, I realized how fun our walk was going to be and settled down into a nice walking rhythm with my new friend. I saw lots of people and dogs. I got a little nervous when bikers came up behind me and passed me, but I got a lot of reassurance from my walker. After I got to know my walked a little bit better (about 20 minutes in), I loved her and was constantly looking back to her for feedback and to get pets. I LOVED the walk. We went for about 2.5 hours and I enjoyed every minute of it. We went down by the creek and I got so excited to see the water. I kinda wished my walker would have let me go in the water, but I get it…it was muddy and cold. I was a bit sad to go back to the shelter, but what a fun outing.What should potential adopters know about me:I loved my walk with Rori. She is an awesome pup and will make a great companion to an active family.-She was a little nervous at first. She didn’t really want treats, but did very much enjoy pets and affection, especially after she warmed up a bit.-She did well in the car. She jumped in right away and was fairly calm on the way to the hike. -Rori has a lot of energy. She was a little bit all over the place when we first got to Almaden Lake trail, but after about 10 minutes, she calmed down and walked nicely by my side. No real pulling. We passed a lot of people and dogs. She did great. Interested, but no pulling. She did get a little nervous around bikers and trail maintenance (with loud chainsaws), but she took direction from me well.-She was very attentive to me and constantly looking at me for feedback. She LOVED pets and reassurance.-She was a little jumpy, but will learn manners with a little practice and correction on appropriate no jumping behav

We saw birds,squirrels, runners, walkers, bikers, and cars, but I was more interested insaying hi to each doggo friend we ran into. My friend reminded me to greet them from a distance.

When I led her to my car, she was unsure and nervous. We took itslow—I motivated her with treats and gave her a little boost onto the backseat. She rode beautifully to Jeffrey Fontana Park and even took a napon our way back. Once we arrived, she needed a little coaxing to get out.Nova has great loose-leash walking skills, knows ‘sit,’ and frequently checksin with her handler. She deserves a family that can provide the love andsupport she needs to be her best self! Come and meet Nova!Three words to describe me: Gentle-natured, friendly, sweet09/05/24 16:08Warms up very quickly, very treat motivated. able to complete full invasive handling, Nova is very playful once she knows you and does need training for playful mouthiness.

03/10/25 19:18Here are some notes on Brutus from one of his fosters:Brutus is a silly, excitable boy who would make a great adventure buddy! He seeks out back rubs and only wants to be loved by his people. He is a snuggly boy once he settles down and gets familiar with his surroundings.My family took Brutus on a 4-day getaway. He panted anxiously during his first car ride. But by the end of the second day, he had already mastered jumping in, and eagerly awaited each new destination without worry. Some of his favorites were as follows:At the park there was a group playing soccer. When Brutus saw people playing ball games, his face lit up. In a silly, non-aggressive way, he got ready to play. In the hills, Brutus went on a few hikes wearing an Easy Walk harness. He was careful and did not chase after any of the other dogs hiking with their owners nearby. His pull is often medium to strong. He would benefit from additional leash training. He is cautious when stepping over bushes or logs. At the beach, Brutus fearlessly chased his ball into the incoming waves.There were off leash dogs nearby who approached Brutus. He was excited but not reactive. At a cafe, there was a patio where we were able to eat with Brutus on a leash alongside us. As time passed he realxed, sat down, and did not react to the other dogs nearby or the crowded vibe. A ten year old child who Brutus had never met came up and gently pet Brutus on his face and neck. He remained relaxed and happy.At home, we set up two sleeping options for Brutus, a crate and a soft fluffy mat. After having his dinner and turning down the lights, he chose the crate on his own and rested for the night. Several times during the night he came out from the crate to sleep on the mat for a while. He is crate trained, potty trained, and knows basic commands like sit and down. Just during the short period we cared for him, he made progress on the stay command, too. He is a master at fetch and returns the ball at your feet. He was OK being alone in his crate at home for several hours. He did not bark, not even once during his time with us. He likes his toys and plays with them, but does not chew.12/16/24 01:44Doggy Day Out Report:Today I: Met 2 new friends and I rode in a car and I went for a long walk by a lake. I was pretty nervous at first, but my friends went slow for me, which helped a lot. Most of it was very fun, but I also sniffed and saw a big, scar
