Story
I am helping my mother-in-law find a new home for her German Shepherd. She lives in a senior community and they are asking her to relinquish the dog. She is a pleasure to be around and walk; she sits quietly when I'm visiting and is good on a leash. However, she is triggered by other animals, including other dogs. This is the reason we need to find her a new home. She has responded well to training, but my mother-in-law is not in a position to train her consistently, and in any event, she is too strong for her to walk on her own. Even without additional training, she would do very well in a home that doesn't have other animals and/or she can keep wild animals at bay. Ideally she'd have room to run and play; she is about five years old and still has lots of energy. I am happy to track down more specific details should you have interest in adopting her. My mother-in-law is heartbroken that she can't keep her, so finding her a good home is paramount.

Story
Angelina is a long hair Chihuahua, she is about 8 years old. She loves to go “bye-bye outside”, to go on walks or car rides. She will sleep in the bed with you, and snuggle up in the couch with you. She does like to sleep in her kennel also, likes small cozy beds. We have 3 cats, and she is really good with them. She even occasionally plays with the cats. She is also very friendly to others, will walk right up for some loving. She is shy around children, but never harmful with them. However she has picked up some not so good habits over the years, like begging for people food, and going potty inside rather than outside. But she is a really kind dig and will love you very passionately. I hope she finds a good home where she can gets love and care everyday. I hope her next owner can help her break her bad habits too.

Story
Duchess is an awesome companion for someone with a good amount of time to spend with a pup. She is definitely a one-two owner dog and will show the most love and loyalty to a fewer owners. A little shy at first but has a corky personalty once she opens up. Not allowed to have my fur pal with me on my journeys next step so I need to say goodbye. Would really like to find a good home for her before then full of love and hopefully some outdoor activities, she is SUPER active and loves to hike. Will always come when called and can faithfully walk by your side without a leash on a hike.

Story
This sweet old girl is Sunshine. Isn’t she beautiful?! Sunshine is a 14 years old lab mix and is looking for a loving home to spend the rest of her life in. She has spent most of her life living in a backyard, but we’d like to show her how wonderful living in a house can be. Sunshine is a mellow dog who just wants a comfy place to take a nap. She is great with other dogs, knows how to use a doggie door, and is a joy to be around. Sunshine is currently being fostered in Paso Robles, CA. If you’d like to make them members of your family, please fill out our adoption application. http://www.emailmeform.com/builder/form/3ZOB2l03Y9
