BARLEY 1 - 2 YRS OLD
|
|
|
This is Barley, who apparently was lost and trying to survive on his own for quite some time. Some nice people found him near their home. They gave him a bath and cut all the mats and burrs out of his beautiful long fur, brushed him, and gave him some food and a comfortable place to sleep. He appears to be quite young? maybe 1-2 years old judging from his teeth, which are in good condition and look clean. He has a very sweet disposition. He is obedient and sits when asked. His foster parents were working on WAIT, OFF and shaking hands, but unfortunately once Barley was feeling better he started chasing their cats and he is now in one of our boarding kennels. He is affectionate and gentle. Right now he is quite thin, but when at a proper weight, he would probably weigh around 80 pounds. This nice dog would need a home with an active family or single person who can spend time with him. He has been exposed to all sizes of other dogs from Chihuahua to Shepherd.
Barley is currently in the Sacramento area

Baloo was adopted from a shelter, the new owners were expecting to move to a larger place but that won't happen for a couple of years now. Baloo is growing very quickly and needs room to move around and training in the house. He is a very sweet boy that has gotten along with a sheltie and kids, but is starting to chase the cats. Baloo is a youngster that does need training. He is allowed in the house at times but he is still working on his house training. Baloo is currently in the Sacramento area.

Kita 1 1/2 - 2 year old Female |
|
|
|
Kita is 1 1/2 to 2 yrs old.
Let me tell you a little bit about
our Lovely Kita. She is a very sweet dog
but she can easily turn aggressive with
other dogs, if her human can not control her
in an assertive manner. Kita is the type of
dog that needs to be constantly watched so
you can catch her mistakes, correct them and
let her know that you dissagree.
Kita can be very protective over her
human, toys, food and other animals. She
might growl to anybody who comes close to
her toys, food, human or pet. Here at home
she has a pet tortoise that she protects.
She has gotten into fights with other dogs
over him twice. At the dog park she behaves
well with other dogs but she likes to defend
the little dogs that are being harrassed by
bigger dogs. She has not fought anybody at
the dog park, even when the other dog has
challenged her. She stays in her ground,
does not back up and lets the other dog know
that she chooses not to fight this time.
The other dog backs away. Of course this is
controlled by me. If you react the wrong
way you will most likely start a bloody
fight. Tension is in the air, and most
people panic, or move in ways that cue to
the dog is time to attack. It IS VERY
IMPORTANT YOU KNOW ABOUT DOG BEHAVIOR AND
KNOW HOW TO READ BODY LANGUAGE AND HOW TO
PROPERLY COMMUNICATE WITH DOG LANGUAGE WITH
YOUR DOG.
Kita enjoys hikes by the lake. She
loves to play in the water, chase birds and
squirrels. She is good with house cats (if
introduced properly) but goes after the
street cats. Kita needs constant physical
and mental stimulation.
If you believe you are the right
match for Lovely Kita, please proceed to
fill out the online application.
Kita is currently in the Tracy area.

Billy 3 -5 yrs old Mal/Sibe Mix |
|
|
Billy a 70lb mal/sibe mix
When coming out of the shelter to be transported all you hear from everyone is he is one sweet boy ! He wanted to run up to the transporter like he was his long lost friend, ( he could have been a man's dog). Billy got into his crate in the car without any problems and laid down, being quiet as a mouse. In the play yard he just wanted to poke around and do his business, (he is housebroken) then would sit down just to hang out and be petted by the humans. He is easy to handle and would make a great companion. Billy did have some food aggression at the shelter, we haven't had any problems, but it still may come up from time to time, and he does feel the need to become protective of his humans, but both these issues can be worked on but all other indications of this boy tells us he is well worth the effort. Billy is currently in the Sacramento area.

Bear 11 yr old Mal/Mix |
|
|
Bear is in need of a home to live out his remaining days. He's
in good health but gets grumpy. He does not get along with
other dogs or cats and doesn't want to have to tolerate little
children. He is a very sweet dog and so wonderful with older
kids and adults. He'd be great for an older person or even a
young person that just would love some companionship during the day
or when they come home from work to just hang out and cuddle or
watch TV with.
Currently Bear is at the Butte Humane Society in Chico, please contact the shelter information below if you can give this boy a forever home.

Ninja/Kai 4 year old Mal/Sibe Mix |
|
|
After 3 yrs Ninja now Kai is back in rescue, owners surrendered him
to the shelter due to their landlord.
Ninja is about 4 yrs old, He is very intelligent and trains easily. He knows, sit, lay down and will walk well on leash when settled down. He is a very loving dog who needs someone that can give him plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. He is still just a big puppy and will act like one especially when he is having fun in a new environment. He really doesn't need another dog but a female would be okay as long as Ninja gets the attention he craves. If he gets the exercise he requires he would be okay to leave in the house, he is housebroken, will lay by or on your bed at night and loves children. Ninja is very intelligent and can be a challenge, but if you love the breed Ninja is the one that would put your skills of staying one step ahead of them to the test and is sure to give you hours of enjoyment. Ninja is in the Fremont area ADOPTED |

Kita 1 1/2 - 2 year ol
|
Molly - 2 1/2 yrs old |
|
|
Molly really didn't enjoy her time at
the shelter where she was surrendered by her owner due to a move.
She was a bit on the tentative side but she is warming up quickly.
She is currently in a foster home with other dogs and she is being
introduced to them slowly but so far she seems not to be bothered at
all by them.
Molly is an indoor outdoor dog, who is housebroken, pulls a bit on leash and rides well in the car. She is used to be alone during the day approximately 4 hours. She may dig a bit when bored and if a gate is open or unlatched she won't hesitate to take herself for a walk. More to come........................ . Molly is currently in the Tracy area.

Rockie 2 year old Female |
|
|
|
Rockie is a beautiful approx 80 lb female. She can be a bit pushy with everyone (animals) she considers subordinates, which was her mate, her 3 cats, the rabbit...but she is affectionate and respectful of all humans. The cats and rabbit were loose in the yard with her and she does very well with them. She's a bit controlling of food but is used to sharing a bowl with the other dog, however like the cats and rabbits this is not to say that you will not have food issues if you don't feed seperately and new critters need to be watched closely as well.
She loves to pull and did great harnessed to a mobility scooter, but she has never been taught not to pull. She does know W H O O O O A, Easy, Sit, Stay, No, Gee and Haw and is Extremely intelligent so leash and obedience training really shouldn't pose any real problem except for her malamute stubbornness.
She's got beautiful tan markings amidst the black and white and has a unconventional tail, something that happened in birth. Her parents were brought down from Alaska, her dad was a beautiful red malamute and her mom a typical black and white. |

Timber - Male 9 month |
|
|
Timber is 9mth old and was taken out of the shelter with Kita the female below. We don't know if they came in together but they get along great. Even so we have decided it would be best to adopt the two out seperately. Timber is a long/soft coat and has a temperment to match, that's not to say he won't stand up for himself but he is pretty much a laid back mellow boy. He is housebroken and learning new lessons everyday ! . Timber is currently in the Tracy area. ADOPTED |

Dauphin 18 mth old Male |
|
|
Dauphin was recently placed in this new home with Suds his new partner (siberian ) but unfortunately a divorce has caused both dogs now to come into rescue. They haven't been together very long, so they can be placed seperately but if you can find it in your heart to take a pair, I'm sure it will help them through this new transition in their life. Dauphin is a small mal and could have some siberian in him as well. Both Dauphin and Suds are in the San Carlos area.
UPDATE- Dauphin's owner has placed Suds and has decided to keep Dauphin |

Shyla needs a foster home or permanent home ASAP. She just had ACL surgery on her rear leg.

Can you be the one to give Shya her forever home ??
