💔 Bella, our longest shelter resident, is still waiting for her forever home. 💔
Bella is an 8-year-old sweetheart with a heart of gold. She’s potty trained, walks great on leash, has wonderful house manners, and loves people — even kids! Bella is healthy, spayed, vaccinated, and ready to be someone’s best friend.
She would do best as the only pet so she can enjoy all the love and attention she deserves. Her adoption fee is sponsored, and her future family will receive 6 weeks of FREE training through Take the Lead Canine Coaching.
Please help us share Bella’s story and find her the loving home she’s been waiting for. 🐾🏡

🐾Attention: Tiny Security Team Seeking Employment🐾

Meet our adoptable male shepherd puppies — professionally trained in absolutely nothing, but highly motivated to learn. Current skills include:

✅ Chasing leaves with extreme dedication
✅ Providing unsolicited kisses
✅ Turning every sock into a missing-person case
✅ Looking adorable while pretending they didn’t just cause chaos

These handsome little guys are searching for forever homes where they can grow into loyal companions, adventure buddies, and full-time heart stealers.

Warning: Side effects of adoption may include excessive smiling, a house full of toys, and never going to the bathroom alone again.

Meet these pups at the Grass Valley Animal Shelter Tuesday through Saturday 12-4.

Update: ADOPTED!
Squishy is squishy! Squishy was found, with his body shaved. We do not know why, because he is a short-haired cat.

Anyways, Squishy is ready to be squished in a forever home. He is about a year old. He was microchipped but his former guardian did not come forward.

Squishy is very friendly!

Come and meet this delightful fellow at the:

When Zeus gets going, he is the definition of joy.

Zeus is a livestock guardian dog mix, a year old, 120 lbs, neutered, and very sweet.

He does not jump on people but he is not always familiar with the concepts of brakes, so probably not smol humans.

No cats, please. He was found roaming with another dog, so it is likely he can have dog buddies.

Come meet Zeus at thr Grass Valley Animal Shelter.
