Story
Sunny wants to be your best friend!! He is a 4 year old McNab mix that was adopted by our family 7 months ago from up in Mendocino. He is the sweetest, most loyal pup. He is house trained & just really enjoys our company. He loves to hike/go on walks. He is great on leash unless there are a lot of dogs around. He does have a couple small dog friends and he has been improving on leash around other dogs. Currently he is still reactive/ gets worked up when they pass by. Sunny is quite the cuddler and sleeps in bed with me every night . He spends his day sunbathing out on the deck when I am home with him. Sunny came from an unpredictable / unstable background that has resulted in creating some anxiety with strangers. He is fine with strangers approaching him or coming into the house but growls when being pet at times. He does not act protective and does not have any food aggression. Would do best in home without kids and w/ someone who does not work long hours.

Story
Maui has been with our family since she was 8 weeks old. We fell in love with her the day we adopted her from the Marin Humane Society, 12 years ago. Over the years she has been a running mate, beach buddy, hill hiker, active swimmer, emotional support and trusted friend. While she still enjoys being active, she has become deaf and now has grown accustomed to leash life. Between her age, my longer work days and her hearing loss she has started experiencing separation anxiety. After exhausting many methods to help Maui overcome her stress of being alone, sadly nothing has worked. She needs to be with someone who can spend more time with her. Her stress has become my stress and not healthy for either of us. Maui still has a lot of love to give. I’m hoping to find that special someone /family to give her a forever home.

Ruby

German Shepherd Dog

Female, Young
Mill Valley, CA
Size

Story
Ruby is a sweetheart with everyone and everything. She was born in Germany & brought to the USA by her 1st owners (who surrendered her to the Marin HS @ 12mo). She is approximately 21mo & 82lb. Ruby has separation anxiety issues and experiences panic level attacks. She needs to be with someone at all times--someone who understands & respects a GSD's intelligence & loyalty--otherwise, she CAN unlock & open doors & WILL escape if left alone. Daily exercise helps her. We believe the 1st owners verbally abused Ruby before she was surrendered to the MHS. It has made her very sensitive and submissive, especially w/ men. We have boarded Ruby part-time for the last 6 months because her current owner’s 12-hr work schedule has eliminated his ability to give her the time & attention she deserves. We will foster her to help him find her a new home. Please let her give you her love & loyalty. Ruby is free and will come with her own food, bed, crate, leash, and toys.

Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Ernie is a nice young dog who will make some lucky family a wonderful companion. He's not showing his true colors at the moment, because he's learning about life after having grown up in a hoarding situation with a lot of small dogs. Ernie is tolerant and social and might be a nice addition to a family with polite kids. In time, he'll start playing with toys, enjoying long walks and outings, and begin seeking the cuddling and attention that he so deserves!Ernie is enjoying himself in a foster home. Please call 415-506-6225 if you'd like to meet him. Primary Color: Tan Weight: 17.4 Age: 1yrs 0mths 3wks

Toby

Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium)

Male, Adult
Novato, CA
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Toby is a special little dog. He makes his way around despite being mostly blind. He is active from morning to night and crashes out in his bed/crate. While at San Quentin Toby met a few dogs and seems to be ok with meeting dogs carefully on leash. Toby's handler got very attached to this little guy as anyone would after spending time with Toby. Toby's little prance and tilted head will make anyone melt. Toby is one of a kind and deserves a special forever home. Toby can live with another dog that can manage his antics, he likes to race around full tilt, sometimes knocking into other dogs - any other dogs in his home will need to be tolerant and up to handling those antics. Toby has displayed a joy for barking, the wind, shadows & noises are just some of the things Toby likes to bark for. He will do best with a family that can manage his environment and is willing to crate him at times during the day to make sure he calms down and takes a break from monitoring the goings on in the neighborhood. Toby s enjoying himself in a foster home. Please call 415-506-6225 if you'd like to meet him. Primary Color: Tan Secondary Color: White Weight: 14 Age: 7yrs 4mths 3wks
