Letting go of Espy last month was not easy. Our village had given her everything we had so she could thrive and find a happy ending. But in the end, her happy ending was being deeply loved in a foster home.

When Tara learned of Otis in the shelter. She wanted to give a senior dog a chance again. Otis reminded us of Espy. Though not in quite as severe condition as Espy was, he was a senior shepherd that hadn’t been well care for and found his way to the shelter. He had soft eyes, and his spirit seemed to sparkle through photographs shared on social media. Tara had to meet him.

And so it was decided rather quickly, that Otis would be our next senior save. There’s preconceived opinions that seniors carry little to no value, this being true with humans and dogs, but they carry wisdom, a silent confidence, and appreciation. It’s truly something to be honored. And as a Vet reminded me once, we’re all going to be old dogs some day.

And so, I would love to introduce you to our newest heartthrob, Otis. From the Alameda Country Animal Services, Otis is around 7-9 years old and full of life. He loves children, all people, is small dog and big dog friendly (we suspect cat friendly too) he loves to play fetch, go on hikes, and snore on his bed, and we think is is absolutely wonderful!

If you’ve been on the search for an easy, turnkey, dog that will give your home warmth and so much happiness, submit an application to adopt Otis. You’re going to love him!

Are you looking for an exceptionally sweet puppy to teach the ropes from a young age? We have her!

Jill is one of the more affectionate bunch in her litter l. At 10 weeks old she is mastering crate training, potty training and basic house manners. But what comes to her naturally is her sweet and gentle disposition.

Jill would thrive in a home as an only dog, or with other dogs. She is gentle enough to be placed with children, but always remember that puppy teeth are still sharp.
She is happy to spend time with her people playing, and then snuggling in for a nap.

If you’ve been on the hunt for a wonderful pup with an easy disposition, Jill is your girl! Submit an application to adopt on our website, www.soayneuteractionproject.org

🍋 When life gives you lemons… turn them into lemonade. 🐾

That’s exactly what happened today.
We had four fully paid spay/neuter appointments reserved for our Charlie’s Angels litter, but after scheduling, a couple of the puppies came down with kennel cough. Thankfully, everyone made a full recovery and didn't require medical intervention.

As a responsible rescue, we didn't want to risk exposing other community pets at the clinic to their lingering cooties, so we made the decision to postpone our appointments.

Rather than let those valuable surgery spots go unused, we gifted all four appointments to local families in Solano County. 💞🐕🐈🐾

Together, Trish and Robin worked quickly to secure four recipients and coordinate with SNIP to transfer the appointments, ensuring that every spot was put to good use instead of going to waste.

Two of the recipients had already experienced accidental litters and understood firsthand the challenges of caring for unexpected puppies or kittens. By helping provide the spay for one female cat and three dogs, we’ve taken another step toward preventing future unplanned litters and reducing pet overpopulation in our community.

This is what SNAP & Rescue is all about—finding solutions that help as many animals and families as possible.

The SNIP Bus is a resource we proudly support and utilize. If you're looking for an affordable way to have your pet spayed or neutered, be sure to follow their page for upcoming clinic dates. Solano County is now a monthly stop, and we’re hopeful they can continue making these lifesaving services accessible to our community.

Together, one appointment at a time, we can make a lasting difference. 🩵

Rounds of likes needed for our newest rescue! **Meet Chai! ☕️ Your Future Cuddle Buddy!** 🐾

Hey there, paw-some humans! Let me introduce myself, my name is Chai, just like the delicious drink. 🍵 A little birdie (or maybe a doggie) told me that my new foster mom, Meredith, kept the name because she already has a Malinois named Mocha. I guess you could say I’m stuck in a coffee shop theme here! ☕️😄

Now, you’re probably wondering how I ended up in this cozy abode. Well, let me spill the tea, I *broke out* of the shelter yesterday! 🚨 Yes, you heard that right! I was just on my best behavior looking for my forever home, but I landed in a foster that now will help me find one.

Here’s the Scoop on Me:

- **Age:** 3 to 4 years young and fabulous!

- **Personality:** I’ve got a heart of gold and a spirit that’s ready for adventure. I’m great with other dogs, so if you have a furry friend, I wouldn’t mind sharing my toys! Tennis 🎾 Balls are Life!

- **First-Time Dog Owner?** No problem! I’m a Malinois, so I’m gonna have energy and a curious spirit. I’m easy to handle, and am ready to adventure! 🚀

- **Cuddle Alert:** Forget your phone; your hands are meant for petting me! I’m basically a pro at lap warming. I’ll need a seat belt or crate in the car! Don’t you humans know how to drive with someone cuddling in your lap?

Oh, and before I forget, I was once a mom! 🐶❤️ My puppies have all been adopted into loving homes, but they left me behind. That’s when my amazing foster mom came in and said, “Show me the Malinois!” And here we are, ready for our next adventure together!

Fun Facts:

- My foster mom sees something special in me because she’s a trainer who specializes in working dogs like German Shepherds, Malinois, and Dutch Shepherds. She knows her stuff, and I’m lucky to have her guidance! 🔔 If she didn’t have so many fur babies already, I know she’d keep me for herself.

- I’m spayed, up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped and ready to go!

- Special bonus: discounted boarding for life and training advice whenever you need it! How paws-itively fantastic is that? 🐶✨

So, if you’re looking for a furry companion who will give you all the love and laughter you can handle, I’m your pup! Let’s make some pawsitive memories together! 🐾❤️

P.S.
My foster dad is a pretty cool guy too, he gives the best belly rubs and plays fetch like a champ! 🎾 (Video in Comments) So, what are you waiting for? Let’s fetch your application! 🐕‍🦺✨

*** Fosters & Adopters Needed ***

It’s that time of year where things in rescue amps up. The asks are more frequent. The asks are more urgent.

We have great dogs. The shelters are full of great dogs. Now, we need great fosters & adopters. Here are our current needs:

🐶 Puppy fosters! We have two, 9-week-old German shepherd mix puppies looking for a foster or adopter next week.

🐕 Bodie! Our handsome pup with a broken leg. He’s fully recovered and ready for his next journey. He would benefit from someone who understands the breed, and wants to do things with him! Walks, training, social outings, that’s what this pup needs. He’s been working with a trainer on his foundations (place, basic obedience, and crate training), and he’s ready for a foster or adopter to carry it on.

Bodie is house broken, dog friendly, and very affectionate. He does pounce and chase for fun, so young children are not recommended with this boy at this time.

🐾 The shelter asked us for help with 4 adult shepherds. They all appear to be between 1-3, and there is 1 male and 3 females. (Photos of are of 2 females, waiting for additional photos)

🤩 1 sweet girl at Stockton animal shelter is described as a plug and play dog. Meaning they can get plugged into just about any situation. She is described as young, social, and loves other dogs.

♥️ An owner surrender is 2 adult GSDs. They’re 7 & 8, dog friendly, cat friendly, and people friendly. Unfortunately the owner has an emergency that doesn’t allow her to care for them anymore; and they were SCGSR dogs.

If you’re interested in fostering, we want to chat! We supply all their basic needs: crate, food, toys, treats, etc. you supply the love, structure and guidance.

If you are in the position to adopt, some of these dogs can be adopted directly from the shelter. DM us if one speaks to you and you’d like to learn more.

It hurts my heart to think that Amara is still with us. And I hope this message finds its way to her people.

Amara has been waiting for you for close to 6 months. She’s quirky, yes, but in a hilarious way. Like when she steals your sweater to snuggle up with it because she loves your scent. Or the way she claims the whole couch…

But she has all the wonderful qualities of a perfect pet, and we don’t understand why she is still with us.

Amara is dog friendly, kid friendly, and cat friendly! She is extremely affectionate! She is house broken, and reluctantly tolerates a crate. She is easy to walk on leash, knows basic obedience, and is highly motivated by cheese! Another sweet quirk.

She rides perfectly in the car and loves adventuring. We think she is 1-2 years old.

She is also a Mama Dog. She came into our program with a solo puppy. If you didn’t know already, Mama Dogs have a tendency to be incredible with children.

And so why is she here still? I don’t know. All I can guess is that you haven’t seen her yet. But that this message reaches you, and you take the first step to meeting Amara. Let your heart lead the way.

Message us or submit an application for Amara on our website, www.spayneuteractionproject.org
