**UPDATE!! 📢
Lilo went to rescue!!
Thank you to this amazing community for all your shares and support!

Meet Lilo (A066872) the cutest Cane Corso pup ever and she needs your help!

This sweet girl is around 4 months, and unfortunately has limited mobility in her hind legs due to the suspicion of myelopathy. Sadly, she came to us this way so we have no previous medical history.

She needs a foster home that can provide physical therapy 3x a day while we search for rescue. Unfortunately, in a busy shelter environment it is difficult for us to manage. So we are looking for a patient and loving foster home who is dedicated to helping her regain usage in her legs. With time and consistent effort, doctors believe there is a chance for her to walk again.

Because she is currently experiencing mobility issues with her back legs, she needs a calm, safe environment where she can rest and heal without the risk of further injury. This includes being separated from other animals.

If you are interested in fostering this lovely girl, please reach out to our shelter at (916) 687-3042.
We will provide all the supplies you’ll need!

Thank you for your support and consideration!

Looking for the perfect puppy to join your family? You just found her!
 
Meet LOVIE!
Lovie is 12 weeks old and has spent the last month growing strong, getting bigger, and preparing for the big day: finding her forever home.
 
She has been raised around a 4-year-old, three dogs ranging from small to large, and one very spicy cat. She is crate trained, loves to play, and is full of fun, spunky puppy energy. But once playtime is over, she is just as happy curling up for some cuddles.
 
Lovie is playful, social, affectionate, and ready to find a family of her own.
 
Could Lovie be the perfect addition to your family? She’ll be available tomorrow, so come on by and see for yourself! Doors open at 12pm!

Big Shot is still waiting for his BIG chance at a forever home!

A little shy at first, but give him some treats and his favorite toy, and his sweet, playful side comes shining through! Once he warms up, he’ll be ready to play, hang by your side, and be your best buddy.

Could you be the one to give Big Shot his BIG chance?

Equilibrium a.k.a. Lib is still looking for his forever home!

Equilibrium has done wonderfully in a foster home and even found his very own best friend when he returned to the shelter. But now that his buddy is leaving, Lib is looking for a new best friend to share his adventures with!

Equilibrium is dog social and knows lots of commands! He loves playing with balls and tug toys, going for walks, joining you on coffee outings, splashing around in the sprinklers and most of all, loves hanging out right by your side.

Lib is ready for a person or family who will be his buddy, include him in their adventures, and love him for exactly who he is. ❤️
Could you be the foster or forever home Equilibrium has been waiting for?

Update!
Wow that was quick!! Milkshake has been adopted 😁

Meet Milkshake!

What kind of milkshake do you get when you mix a little tan Chihuahua, a spunky and playful personality, a love for cuddles, and confident energy? THIS ONE!

Milkshake loves making doggy friends, big and small, and she’s good with kids, too!

If you’re looking for a fun, affectionate, confident little companion who’s ready to fill your life with love (and maybe a few zoomies!), Milkshake could be the one for you! 🥰

One year ago today, Lucy arrived at our shelter at just 4 months old. And somehow, this sweet girl is still waiting for her person to find her.
Lucy can be a little shy when you first meet her, but give her some time and you’ll discover a heart full of love.  
She’s playful, smart, and very treat-motivated!
Lucy loves making new dog friends and is happy to play however her canine pals want to play, whether they’re big or small. She’s also been polite with cats she’s met and shows wonderful manners when she’s out and about.
She truly is a gem of a dog, just waiting for someone willing to take the time to get to know her. Once she trusts you, you’ll see just how much love this girl has to give. 
After a whole year at the shelter, Lucy deserves to know what it feels like to finally be home. 
Please share her story and help us find her forever family❤️

She’s got sunshine in her soul and she’d love to share it with you. 💛Meet Stella (A066230)This beautiful German Shepherd...
