ZERO is a 1 year old gentle and fearful boy whose owner loved him, but had to give him up. Zero was on Craigslist twice, and his owner had him for the past 6 months, but never took him to a vet. He's 57 pounds and needs to be slowly introduced to the world.

He'll be neutered in early August. He's tall and lanky, and although timid, will lean in for hugs from people he trusts. More about Zero soon.

Fostered in Grass Valley.

Kai was surrendered to the San Jose shelter for jumping the fence. According to the owner?s surrender form, Kai was a gift, is about 10 months old, loved to play with the children in his home, loves fetch, and had never been to a vet.

Kai lived outside 24/7 and is has just recently learned that the house is fun! He's very sweet, and I haven't seen him try to jump our 6 foot chain link fence. Fostered in Grass Valley.

Rumor is a 31 pound, 4 year old blue merle who had to be trapped in September, 2021 during the Caldor Fire in El Dorado County. She would not come to anyone and was living off the land for at least 2 weeks before being trapped. She is quite skittish and very smart - an accomplished escape artist! On 9/20/21, she gave birth to three puppies at the Sanctuary. Her puppies have found great homes, and now it's Rumor's turn.

She is an escape artist, so fencing in her home must be bullet-proof. She's very playful with all dogs, terribly afraid of new people and needs to be introduced on leash. We're looking for a home where she can play with dogs, not get out of her yard, and with a person who will take her on leash walks and introduce her to a non-threatening world. Fostered in Grass Valley.

Tracy is an approximately 4 year old, 8 pound Chihuahua/Papillon mix we rescued from the city of Tracy shelter. Tracy had a huge hernia and needed surgery, so we took her! Her surgery was a success, and sh's ready to go to her new home.

Tracy is crate trained, friendly, loves to play fetch, a bit barky at new people and dogs, and follows me everywhere. She's loving, likes jumping in the car, has a long fluffy tail and loves to be in my lap!
