Charlie Chapo

Age:    8 years old      
Breed: ​American Bully Mix 
Weight:   54 pounds
Sex: Male (N)
​
Adoption Fee: $325
Learn More
Charlie was suffering from a blocked urethra and painful bladder stones, and his owner faced the difficult decision to euthanize him or surrender him. The amazing staff at @MedVet Emergency Clinic contacted us so he could get the lifesaving care he needed. We immediately stepped in.
Thanks to our incredible vet team, Charlie was unblocked, had his bladder stones removed, and also underwent NARES surgery and a soft palate resection so he can finally breathe easier. He was also treated for double ear infections and allergies. 

If you're looking for a super chill, oversized lapdog that loves cuddles, Charlie is your boy! He is adorable, loves all people, and is great with dogs of all sizes. He patiently puts up with his 15lb three-legged puppy foster sister and has made doggy friends everywhere he goes. He is super affectionate and loving. He is just an easy-going dude that likes to eat, play, chew toys, and then take long naps. He is a hilarious, big-bulldozer-of-a dog who unintentionally rearranges furniture and snores like a grown man. We have a ramp set up so he can walk up to the couch, and he would happily spend all of his time with his head or most of his body on you while you relax and binge-watch your favorite shows. He is the definition of a couch potato. 

Charlie is an absolute big hunk of love! He has been shuffled around too many times in his life through no fault of his own, and he absolutely deserves a loving home to comfortably live out his golden years.

Baxter

Age:    11 years old      
Breed: ​Chihuahua 
Weight:   4.8 pounds
Sex: Male (N)
​
Adoption Fee: $325
Learn More
Baxter is a sweet senior boy who joined our rescue after his family of 11 years moved out of the country. At just 4.5 pounds, he is a tiny little guy with a big personality. He is adjusting to his new life and would love nothing more than to spend his golden years with a family to call his own.
Baxter is a bit hot and spicy and is not shy about letting you know if you are misbehaving. Since he has no teeth, his “corrections” are all gums, loud sounds, and a little slobber.
​He is a fun, silly little guy. He often forgets where he is going or gets easily distracted 
Energy Level? Low. Couch Potato 
House trained? Mostly. However, we have used belly bands to discourage marking and it is working! He is also getting used to using potty pads.  He needs encouragement to go potty outside.
Describe how they are on a leash? He walks nice on leash but also doesn't mind a good push in a stroller
Describe how they are with other dogs? Baxter is great with all dogs big and small and even tolerated a large breed puppy. He is currently fostered  with dogs and doing great.
Have they been around cats or other animals? How were they? Baxter is good with cats.  
Commands they know? It's time for dinner :-) 
What are their favorite things? He loves to explore the backyard and enjoy the sun. He loves food and being with his people. 
What do they need to work on?  Personally we think he’s perfect. He is slow to warm up to new people and is very spicy and will try to gum you and slobber all over you since he doesn't have any teeth to bite you with.   He doesn’t appreciate other animals crowding around him while he is eating. 
How are they when left alone? How long have they been left alone? He’s fine left alone. We leave him in a pen when he is alone.  He does not potty in his pen. The longest he has been left alone is approximately 4-6 hours. 
Where do they sleep? He sleeps in his bed in a pen. He would also love sleeping with his people
What is their ideal home? Baxter would do best with someone who appreciates his spicy little personality. With new people or if he feels someone is fussing with him too much, he may growl or give a gummy snap warning. Remember, he has no teeth, so it is mostly sounds and slobber.
He would be happy in a home with or without other dogs. Baxter is a simple guy who enjoys the easy life. Give him a fluffy bed, good food, and a calm home, and he will be perfectly content. ​He is such a special little guy.

Saucy

Age:    3 years old      
Breed: Chihuahua/Doxie Mix  
Weight:  15 pounds
Sex: (S) Female
​
Adoption Fee: $325 
Learn More
Saucy is a sweet, spunky girl with a loyal heart. She tends to pick her favorite person and happily sticks by their side. She loves affection and has a playful spirit, very much reflecting her young-adult energy.
Energy Level? Moderate
House trained? Yes
Describe how they are on leash? She is well mannered on leash and generally walks nicely. She may pull a bit when she catches an interesting scent and wants to investigate. She can be somewhat cautious when unfamiliar people approach while she is on leash, becoming a little nervous, but she does not bark or react.
Describe how they are with other dogs? Saucy does very well with other dogs. She is not reactive and enjoys meeting new canine friends. She integrated smoothly with our resident dogs from day one and has also done well with our family members’ three dogs.
Have they been around cats or other animals? How were they? Saucy would be fine living with a cat. When first rescued, she met a cat and did well, showing no chasing or reactive behavior. She also regularly sees cats while out on walks and remains calm and unbothered. Additionally, she showed no reaction to a parakeet at our family’s home.
Commands they know? Sit, working on stay. Knows inside means crate time. 
What are their favorite things? She loves chew toys and does best with durable options, as plush toys do not stand much of a chance. Tougher toys like Kong products are ideal for her. Her favorite is her Kong ball, and when filled, it keeps her happily occupied and calm for a good amount of time. She also loves going for walks
What do they need to work on? She would thrive with continued positive socialization to help build her confidence around new people. She is also learning that resources like water are always available and may need management in multi-dog settings while she works through some competition around shared water bowls.
How are they when left alone? How long have they been left alone? She handles alone time well and relaxes comfortably in her crate, usually napping when left for short periods. We have left her crated for up to two hours with no issues. Otherwise, she spends her days happily alongside our resident dogs.
Where do they sleep? She sleeps in her crate/pen.
What is their ideal home?She would thrive in a calm, loving home with someone who can give her plenty of attention and spoil her with toys and treats. She enjoys nice moderate walks, but a secure backyard to explore and play in would also suit her well, especially since she is great at finding ways to entertain herself. She has done well with kids and other pets.

When he finally settles down, he's very affectionate and cuddly. Enjoys lap time while I'm at the computer. He is a good couch snuggler while watching movies. Food motivated (after a while, he even started liking some fresh fruits/veggies as a snack).
Energy Level? Med to High
House trained? Yes
Describe how they are on a leash? Good once he's on leash, but he thinks getting harnessed is a game, so it can be a little challenging. He is still a bit of a flight risk,

Have they been around cats or other animals? How were they? Don't know about cats. Will chase squirrels/birds if given the chance.

How are they when left alone? How long have they been left alone? I work at home, so he isn't alone much, but I think he would do ok being alone for a few hours.  Had in/out privilege, and he ended up sitting in the sun, chewing on his toy.
Where do they sleep? He sleeps in his crate.
What is their ideal home? An active home with other (energetic) dogs. Loves interacting and loves to run. Preferably has room for zoomies. Need to make sure he does not bolt while getting used to his new home, because he loves running.
He is a great little dog.

​
Adoption Fee: $325

Learn More
Spunk is a COMPLETE sweetheart. He can be shy at first when he first meets people and may yield a submissive wee. Once he realizes you are safe, all he wants to do is love you and give you kisses. He loves scritches and pets. When he’s comfortable, he will follow you around and lie against you. He wants as much attention as he can get, but on his terms. 
Energy Level? Low/Medium
House trained? Yes. Just watch him closely the first few days. In a new place, he will want to mark. Once he is comfortable and feels safe, the marking went away completely. 
Describe how they are on a leash? We are still working on leash training. At first, he did the alligator roll when he felt the slightest tug on the leash, but after just a few days, he no longer does this, and will walk well short distances. It will take no time at all for him to be comfortable going on long walks. He loves to be outside!
Describe how they are with other dogs? Spunk is a happy-go-lucky pup and loves to hang out with and initiate play with other dogs. If a dog shows that he/she is not interested, then Spunk just walks away politely.

Commands they know? Sit
What are their favorite things? Being by their person. Food motivated
What do they need to work on? Submissive peeing, being handled. Walking on a leash for longer periods of time. He is also very shy around new people, so you need to go slow until trust is established.
How are they when left alone? How long have they been left alone? Spunk is fine being left alone. He has been left alone for about 5-6 hrs.
Where do they sleep? In a crate or on a dog bed
What is their ideal home? Spunk would do well in any home with or without other dog(s).  He would prefer to be in a house with someone around most of the time, but I think he would be able to adjust to a full-time working family, too. Spunk may need a bit of time to adjust. He prefers a calm environment.

Dahlia is a very sweet and loving once she feels trust for her human (less than a week for me). She listens when spoken to. Is curious, but not in a pesky way. Loves to give 'kisses'. She likes to know where I am, but doesn't need to follow me into the kitchen if she's comfortable on the couch. Likes to sit on my lap while I'm at the computer. Is food motivated. Loves affection.
Energy Level? Medium

Have they been around cats or other animals? How were they? She has not met any cats. While on leash, she was very interested in a street cat.
Commands they know? Stay (kind of). Let's cross (while on a walk, when it's time to cross the street). Let's go (various instances).
What are their favorite things? Being close to her human. A bed in the kitchen while she watches/waits for dinner. Walks (2x day; plus an early-afternoon potty stroll). Food, even fresh vegetables/fruit.
What do they need to work on? Containing her excitement.  She will alert bark at passers-by while we're out on walks.

Where do they sleep? In her crate w/door closed. She likes a treat before I place her in her crate. She got used to the crate after a couple of nights.
What is their ideal home? As long as she feels safe, I think she'd be fine in most households. Another dog would be good. Not sure how she'd be around children/cats. She's able to handle stairs. She is a great little dog.

Adoption Fee: $325

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.

Chewy is an incredibly sweet and mellow little guy. He adores being petted and uses his whole body to show his appreciation. His favorite place is snuggled up next to his people anytime they sit or lie down. I can't say enough about how lovely and good a boy he is. 
Energy Level? Medium
House trained? Mostly. We are primarily using belly bands, and he stays dry inside and knows what to do outside. He may need some patience and support as he acclimates to a new home and new routine.

What are their favorite things? Snuggles, pets, love, and food. 
What do they need to work on? Potty training. He is a pretty perfect little gentleman.
How are they when left alone? How long have they been left alone? Chewy is crate-trained and snuggles up in his crate with his blanket when we need to leave the house. He will bark or react to noise, like our resident dogs, but he calms down quickly.
Where do they sleep? Chewy is happiest snuggled up with his people. He would love to find a home where he is welcome in the big bed.
What is their ideal home? Chewy would do well in a home with lots of love, attention, and regular walks. He is very patient and gentle with kids, visitors, and other dogs. He loves being close to his people, getting lots of pets, and being told what a good boy he is. He is a wonderful companion and will bring lots of joy to his forever family.

Atti is a very playful young dog.  He loves toys and is highly praise-motivated.  He loves people and other dogs.
Energy Level? High
House trained? About 90%
Describe how they are on a leash? Amazing.  Atti walks to the left and one step behind.  The only time he needs correction is if he gets excited to see another dog. However, if you say his name he gets back to heel.
Describe how they are with other dogs? Overall good.  He is young and full of energy, so he sometimes annoys the resident middle-aged dog.  There was only one tiff over chew sticks.
Have they been around cats or other animals? How were they? unknown
Commands they know? Nothing 100%, but he seems to know "No," "Leave it," "Down," and "Off."  He responds to them about 60-70% of the time, and I know he could learn other things easily with time and focus.
What are their favorite things? He loves toys, playing fetch, and curling up under a blanket on the couch.  And in general, just positive attention.
What do they need to work on? Atti will take things off the tables if he can reach them.  He is also a chewer.  He hasn't chewed anything he isn't supposed to, but he will need chews and toys.  
How are they when left alone? How long have they been left alone? He's been left alone for a few hours at a time in an exercise pen.  He has a little separation anxiety and does cry at least when I leave and when he hears you come home until you let him out.
Where do they sleep? In an exercise pen in another room.  On the first couple of nights, he cried for about an hour, but since then, he has settled in easily.  I know he would love to sleep in the room with you if you'd allow it.
What is their ideal home? Atti loves attention and is high-energy.  He'd do well in a home with one or more people who could spend a lot of time with him playing, going on multiple walks, and even just hanging out.  He does like other dogs and will play with them as well.

Ernie.  Once Ernie get to knoe you, he can be sweet and affectionate. He is very cautious with new people and need slow introductions.
Energy Level? Low to Medium
House trained? Yes
Describe how they are on leash? Ernie walks well on leash and is non-reactive.
Describe how they are with other dogs? He generally ignores other dogs while on walks. At the shelter, he was part of playgroups and did well with other dogs. When he first arrived, he didn’t get along with the resident dog, but he’s been improving as he decompresses and relaxes. He could potentially live with other dogs with proper intros and patience.
Have they been around cats or other animals? How were they? Ignore cats we met on walks (cats not moving), sometimes will chase squirrel if squirrel runs but will continue to walk easily
Commands they know? He knows sit, and down
What are their favorite things? Cuddles, kisses, go out for walks and all kinds of food/treat
What do they need to work on? Coping with stress - meeting new people, vet visits, visitors in the home, etc
How are they when left alone? How long have they been left alone? He is fine being left alone. He is calm and generally sleeps when left alone.  
Where do they sleep? His bed
What is their ideal home? 
He would do best in a calm, patient home with people who understand his needs and are willing to give him the time and space to build trust and confidence. A quieter environment without too many visitors would help him feel secure as he continues to adjust. Once he feels safe, he’ll show what a truly wonderful, loyal boy he is.
