Raven is a 4 year old, 45 pound black tri girl who was purchased as a puppy. She knows sit, stay, come, spin, shake, wave, and touch and loves learning. Raven is sensitive to noise and commotion, plus her family has another dog who doesnt get along with her. The noisy neighborhood plus other dog in the home are why we are looking for someone to adopt Raven who will help her flourish. A quiet home where Raven gets exercise and the opportunity to learn new things is best for Raven. Raven is in Sacramento.

Check out this exuberant and handsome boy, Buddy! His whole buddy wiggles when he sees you! He is 6-7-ish years old, looks like Rottweiler/Dobie, and weighs about 70 lbs. He is neutered, recently got all his vaccines, and was microchipped. He has a strong prey drive and must have a home without cats, small dogs, or livestock. He is friendly with other medium to large dogs. Buddy has a lot of energy and needs room to run and play in his next home. His indoor manners are very good he doesnt go on the furniture, jump on people, or show food aggression. He is learning to sit before eating, going out the door, etc. He is responsive to corrections, but knows few commands. Buddy and, his Aussie friend Bear, are living with us while we help a neighbor find them a new home because he is divorcing and neither person can keep the dogs. Buddy is a sweet, playful dog who deserves a home of love and engagement! Fostered near Monterey. Buddy can be adopted separately from Bear.

Ruby is a 6 year old, 45 pound black tri cutie! She greets you with a grin, will play fetch and has lived with livestock. She knows many tricks and commands, rings a bell by the door to go outside, and needs to be exercised regularly. As so many of our Aussies, she is an opportunist when it comes to food on counters!

Finnegan is 5 months old and about 32 pounds. He was a stray picked up by Merced Animal Control and came to us the minute he came into the shelter. He's confident, plays fetch, and is almost housebroken. His DNA results are 90%     Australian Shepherd, 9% Miniature American Shepherd, 1% Collie.

Hes a great boy and quite active. He loves fetch and is an all around confident, friendly pup who should do well at anything you teach him!  He needs more time in a crate to become housebroken.
