Meet Bruno! 🐾

Bruno is an estimated 2.5-year-old German Shepherd with a handsome face and an even bigger heart. This sweet guy came to us as a surrender and is now searching for the loving forever home he truly deserves.

Bruno would do best in a home with adults or teenagers who can give him plenty of love, attention, and companionship. He seems to do okay with other dogs, but he is not a good fit for a home with cats or small animals — they’re just a little too exciting for him!

Right now, Bruno is recovering beautifully from a skin infection and is healing up amazingly well. Because of severe matting, he had to get a bit of a goofy shave job, but we think it just adds to his charm and makes his comeback story even sweeter.

If you’re looking for a loyal companion who’s ready for a fresh start and a lifetime of love, Bruno may be your perfect match. Give this deserving boy a new lease on life, and he’ll reward you with endless devotion. ❤️

🐾 Meet Big Dawg 🐾

Big Dawg has been with us since August 2025, and after so many months in the shelter, we’re watching this sweet boy slowly lose his spark. He deserves so much more than a kennel. He deserves a home. ❤️

Don’t let the name fool you — Big Dawg is all heart. At around 3–4 years old and 66 pounds, this Shepherd–Pyrenees mix comes with oversized paws, extra toes, soft eyes, and the gentlest soul.

He’s a calm, thoughtful guy who enjoys a slower pace and clear guidance. Shelter life has been especially hard on him because he’s not the kind of dog who thrives in chaos. He wants connection, consistency, and someone he can trust.

Big Dawg is still working on his leash manners, so he’d do best with a confident handler who can continue helping him succeed. He can be selective with other dogs at first, especially when unsure, but with proper introductions, structure, and space, he settles in nicely.

What breaks our hearts most is how long he’s waited. Day after day, kennel after kennel, while being overlooked simply because he’s quiet.

But we know his person is out there.

If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a mellow nature and a huge heart, Big Dawg could be your perfect match. He’s ready to trade shelter stress for soft beds, walks with his person, and finally feeling safe and loved.

Please share to help Big Dawg find the home he’s been waiting so patiently for. 🐶❤️

🚨 Foster Needed for Marz 🚨

We urgently need a foster home for Marz — someone experienced with high-energy adolescent dogs who understands that teenage pups need guidance, consistency, and patience while they mature. Adult-only or teenage-only homes are best for him at this time.

Marz arrived at the shelter when he was only 2.5 months old, and now at about 11 months old, he has spent nearly his entire puppyhood growing up in a kennel. Watching such a young dog miss out on home life, stability, and normal puppy experiences has been incredibly heartbreaking for everyone who knows him.

He’s a goofy, affectionate American Staffordshire Terrier mix with a big personality and even bigger energy. Shelter life has been hard on him, and like many teenage dogs who lack outlets and routine, he can become mouthy and overexcited during play. What he truly needs is a chance to decompress in a home environment with someone willing to continue his training and help him learn appropriate boundaries.

Despite everything, Marz remains loving, eager for attention, and full of potential. He deserves walks, toys, naps on the couch, and the opportunity to finally feel safe and connected to people. We know there is an amazing dog in there just waiting for the right person to help him shine.

At the end of the day, Marz isn’t asking for perfection — just a chance. A foster home could completely change the course of his life. ❤️

Meet our Criminal Minds litter — the cutest little profilers you’ll ever meet! Spencer Reid, JJ Jareau, Emily Prentiss, and Derek Morgan are 8-week-old Cattle Dog mix puppies ready to investigate their forever homes.

These four came to us from our friends at Sonoma County Animal Services and have already cracked the case of stealing hearts. With 2 boys and 2 girls, this crew is full of brains, energy, and plenty of puppy mischief. Just like their namesakes, they’re smart, busy, and always looking for their next adventure!

Their mama was a beautiful 40-pound dog, and these pups are expected to grow into active companions who will need training, enrichment, and families ready to keep up with their antics. They’d love a home with another playful dog and could likely be convinced not to put cats under investigation too.

If you’re ready to join the BAU (Best Adoption Unit), come meet these adorable little agents before they close the case on finding their forever families!

Meet Rosie Mae!

Rosie Mae is an approximately 4 month-old Pit Bull puppy bursting with personality, puppy energy, and nonstop fun. This girl is all wiggles, zoomies, floppy paws, and puppy chaos in the best possible way. If there’s a toy nearby, she’s grabbing it. If there’s a lap nearby, she’s climbing into it. If there’s absolutely nothing happening? Rosie Mae will make sure something is happening.

She’s at that hilarious puppy stage where every day is a new adventure and every object is potentially the coolest thing she’s ever seen. Rosie Mae is playful, goofy, curious, and always ready to turn an ordinary moment into a party. She would do best in a home with adults or older children, as she can still be a little mouthy while she figures out the world and learns her puppy manners.

Rosie Mae is looking for a family ready to help her learn the ropes, keep up with her puppy energy, and appreciate the daily entertainment she naturally provides. Basically, if you’ve been a bundle of joy with four paws and a permanent happy face, Rosie Mae is ready to move in!
