Hi, I'm Wiggles! I'm about 1 year old, and I got my name because I'm one of the happiest girls around! Life hasn't always been easy. I was found as a stray with severely matted fur and painful foxtails embedded in my skin. Thankfully, some kind people helped me, and now I'm safe with Every Pet's Dream. Don't worry about my haircut. It'll grow back! My old family never came looking for me, but that's okay. My friends at Every Pet's Dream promised me a bright future, and now I'm looking for a family of my very own. If you're looking for a sweet, happy companion who will greet you with wiggles, kisses, and a wagging tail every day, I might be your girl.

She will benefit from basic training to help her greet people politely without jumping, wait patiently instead of barking for treats or food, and finish her potty training.

With consistency, positive reinforcement, and a little patience, Dottie has all the makings of a wonderful companion. How are they when left alone? How long have they been left alone? Dottie has been left a full workday with the resident dog and access through the doggie door, which she learned on the first day. Where do they sleep? Dottie is crate trained; however, she has been sleeping in an xpen. What is their ideal home? Dottie would do best with another playful dog who can match her energy and enjoy romping around with her. She is a very smart girl who will thrive with basic training and is likely to learn quickly. She will benefit from a family that is committed to working with her to help her feel safe and understand that no one is going to take her resources away, and who is up for puppy-proofing and working on mouthy puppy behaviors so they don't become lasting habits. Dottie is an active dog who would enjoy daily walks, playtime, and a securely fenced yard where she can run and explore.

AshleyAge: 1 years old
Breed: Spaniel/Terrier/Chi Mix Weight: 16 pounds Sex: Female (S) Adoption Fee: $325 Learn More
Ashley is a very sweet dog who loves exploring the outdoors and investigating everything around her, from leaves, fallen seeds, lizards, and crickets to yard gnomes, large rocks, and just about anything that catches her eye. She enjoys soaking up the sun and spending time outside. When she's awake, Ashley has plenty of energy and enthusiasm, but she settles down nicely for quiet naps after walks and meals. She is affectionate, loves to cuddle, gives lots of kisses, and can become a little mouthy when she's bored or wants attention. Ashley thrives on being part of the pack, enjoys staying close to her people, and will happily follow at your feet. She loves going for walks and prefers to take the lead as she explores the world around her. Energy Level? Medium to high House trained? Most part. First thing in the morning, after meals, before bedtime, and best no more than 4 hours in between. Describe how they are on a leash? For a small breed dog like Ashley, a harness is recommended instead of relying solely on a collar, as it provides better control and helps keep her safe during walks. Ashley is curious and enthusiastic about exploring, so she would benefit from continued obedience training. She tends to dart from one interesting sight or scent to another and may try to chase small critters, making leash manners and focus work important skills for her to develop. Describe how they are with other dogs? Ashley has done well living with a 7-year-old Golden Retriever in her foster home. She is social with other dogs and comfortable sharing space, often napping near her canine companion and sometimes even touching paws. Like many dogs, she appreciates fair attention and can occasionally bicker if she feels another dog is receiving significantly more attention than she is. Overall, she enjoys canine companionship. Have they been around cats or other animals? How were they? Not yet. Commands they know? Stop, Sit working on Stay. What are their favorite things? Ashley prefers soft toys over hard toys. Her favorites are squeaky plush toys and stuffed toys that she can really sink her teeth into and carry around. She especially enjoys toys such as stuffed armadillos or plush turkey drumsticks, often happily chewing them. What do they need to work on? Ashley would benefit from continued basic obedience training, particularly with leash manners and walking etiquette. She is eager to explore and can become distracted by interesting sights, sounds, and scents during walks. She would also benefit from gradual training to build confidence when left alone, as she prefers being with her people and may need help learning to be comfortable during longer periods of separation. How are they when left alone? How long have they been left alone? Ashley currently does well when left at home for routine errands lasting approximately 1 to 2.5 hours and has not shown any issues during those absences. She is most comfortable when she has canine companionship, as she has been living with another dog in the home. Where do they sleep? Ashley sleeps in a crate (secured) at 10 or 11pm. Wake up at 5:30-6:00am. What is their ideal home? Ashley would do best with an adopter who can match her energy level and provide plenty of physical activity, mental enrichment, and companionship. While she has not been tested with small children, she can be mouthy during play and has sharp teeth, so a home without young children may be the best fit. She would also thrive in an organized, dog-proof home. Ashley is curious and likes to investigate the world with her mouth, so anything left within reach may become a toy. She has been known to chew or damage accessible items, including an earbud, the insert of a house slipper, and even a plastic bucket attached to a harness. Ashley loves being close to her people and would appreciate a comfortable spot to relax, such as a dog-friendly sofa or a cozy wingback chair that can serve as her safe retreat. After an active day of exploring and play, she's happiest curled up nearby for cuddles and a well-earned nap. |

Indigo is a very puppy-like boy with lots of energy. He’s sweet, curious, and playful, and loves games like fetch and tug of war with his rope. He enjoys having access to an outdoor patio where he can relax and soak up the sun, and he’s great at keeping himself entertained. He was very excited and playful when meeting a neighbor dog, and on walks he can get overly excited when he sees cats, squirrels, or other dogs. He may bark, but it’s mostly excitement and curiosity. Once he burns off that energy, Indigo is all about the cuddles. He loves curling up on your lap while you’re working or snuggling on the couch during a movie. He’s very food motivated and even enjoys some fresh fruits and veggies like apple, and celery. Energy Level? Medium -high House trained? yes Describe how they are on a leash?

He’s good on leash but could use some work on calming down during walks, as he gets excited and happy. He hasn’t been tested being left alone yet. He sleeps in a crate with the door closed and goes right in at night, especially when there’s a roasted chicken treat waiting for him. What is their ideal home? I think he'd like other dogs to play with. Not sure how he is around children, but he might do well if they're as playful as he is. He's very affectionate and loves attention. Took one short car trip and was a little nervous, but he seems to be a quick learner so think a few more trips and he'd be fine. |

LilyADOPTED
Age: 7 years old Breed: Papillion/Terrier Mix Weight: 14 pounds Sex: (S) Female Adoption Fee: $325 Learn More
Lily is the sweetest girl, and her story broke our hearts. Just two days before Christmas, Lily was surrendered to the shelter by her owner’s next of kin after her original owner passed away. While at the shelter, staff noticed her crooked jaw, and x-rays confirmed she had been living with a painful fractured jaw. We rescued Lily as soon as we learned about her condition. Because of the severity of the injury, we took her to UC Davis, where specialists determined she would need corrective surgery and a plate placed to repair the fracture. In preparation for surgery, six of Lily’s teeth were extracted. Her surgery is scheduled for February 18th. Despite everything she has endured, Lily’s spirit shines. She is gentle and loving with everyone she meets, and she adores dogs and even goats. She is an absolute trooper and deserves a life free from pain. Please keep Lily in your prayers as she prepares for surgery. If you are able to donate, please consider helping us continue our mission and give Lily the care she so deeply deserves. Lily’s journey is not over yet, but she is finally on the path to healing. |
