I rescued this dog, a pure bred Australian shepherd mini two months ago. She is a very spry 9 year old and has only lived with one older woman her entire life. Her original owner never socialized the dog. She had a dog door and a yard and was never walked. The dog has serious fear aggression and has attacked and threatens to attack everyone but me. In fact, the dog bonded with me in 20 minutes and truly loves me, but hates all others. She has papers and I took her to the vet for a checkup and her rabies shot. I have all those records and her past paperwork. She would do well in a one woman household with a dog door and yard. Her past name was Kona, but I call her Mathilda and she responds to that. I cannot keep her as I am unable to take her anywhere because of her fear aggression and my park has asked me to not keep her. She has beautiful Aussie markings, is purebred with papers, and is trim and very spry.

We have a wonderful husky/akita/shepherd mix here at the shelter who will need an adopter who is breed-experienced. Arlo is available for adoption at the Humane Society of Sonoma County in Santa Rosa, CA and any interested adopters can call our front desk at 707-542-0882 to find out more!
Arlo is a super handsome boy, about 1.5 years old. He's neutered, healthy, up-to-date on all vaccines and heartworm negative. He LOVES other dogs and has done well with both large and small dogs. We think he'd do best in a home with a well-mannered and confident dog to help show him the ropes. He is a goofy boy who loves life, and really enjoys engaging with his friends, either in a game of tug or a peaceful moment soaking in the sunshine. He is also a lap dog and extremely cuddle oriented. And did we mention he's gorgeous??
Arlo will need slow introductions to new people and places. He is skeptical of new things and people, but given space and time, he will warm up and be your best friend. He must have a predictable and calm home life. The "rule of three" should be taken seriously, with no expectations of him settling in immediately. Daily long walks/hikes and a secure fenced backyard are important because he loves to run & exercise. No apartments/condos due to his exercise needs & environmental sensitivity. Plenty of mental & physical enrichment will be key to a successful life with him.
We recommend no children, due to the fact that Arlo can get jumpy and mouthy when he's excited. He will need adopters who are able to use positive reinforcement to show him other options.

Vixen is a pure hearted sweet cat full of unconditional love. She is also very shy around strangers and does not like to be picked up, but loves to cuddle and be stroked on her belly. I have another cat in my household that she adores, but I don't think she would do well with dogs. She is still very playful, and loves to chase string and bat toys around the house. She will go outside sometimes, but mostly likes to stay indoors. I adopted her from Pets Lifeline when she was still a kitten. Unfortunately I'm moving out of state to a new home where I can't take the cats, so I'm hoping to find a good home for her here in the area.

Fredricka (or Freddie) is a real people lover. She is cuddly, friendly and loves to sit on laps. I have another cat in my household that she tolerates, but I don't know how she would do with a dog. She spends part of every day outside, and comes in every evening for dinner and a good cuddle. I adopted her from Pets Lifeline a few years ago, and she has become a great companion. Unfortunately I'm moving out of state to a new home where I can't take the cats, so I'm hoping to find a good home for her here in the area.

Hello, we recently got a kitten and unfortunately cannot keep her. She is a beautiful, playful yet calm kitten. Great with little kids. She is 5 1/2 months old and is potty trained. Her previous owner says she has gotten all her kitten shots, but we do not have any of that paperwork. We would love for her to go to a great home.
