I have two beautiful orange female tabbies that I need to find a new home for. We did have a busy home, but sadly, my spouse passed away in May 2022 and my oldest child has left for college, so the two of us left are not around as much to give them as much love and attention that they deserve. We adopted them as kittens from the Humane Society together in the Fall of 2013 and were told that they were sisters, and even if they might not be, they slept together like Yin and Yang when they first came home. Shasta (short-haired), is the innocent, food motivated, playful one of the two and it seems that at times, thinks she’s a dog (see attached pics). We call McKinley (long-haired) our Diva because she has this long stride walk worthy of a Queen. They clean each other, play, fight, share space just like siblings. They were used to a busy home prior to our family tragedy, but now it is quiet. They are mostly indoor cats, but rush to get into our backyard any chance they can get and ALWAYS come back by scratching at our back doors. McKinley will do better with kids a little bit older so they understand not to surprise her from behind or grab her tail quickly without petting her. McKinley gives us kisses and Shasta gives everyone a hello by rubbing up on their legs when they arrive. We have had to split a small cup of food twice a day because Shasta will eat from each bowl. They have two side-by-side litter boxes which we transitioned to when they got large enough. The photos don’t do the green of McKinley’s eyes justice. We hope that you can provide another wonderful phase of life for these two.

Sammy is a sweetheart l, in an heart broken to have to give her up but in mobbing and most places have carpet and don't allow cats. She grew up with her brother who recently passed away 2022 unexpectedly. She is 13 years old, is shy but warms up after a short period. She does not do well with dogs. She loves to snuggle and is a lap cat. She reminds me more of a dog. She comes when you call her and loves to be brushed.

I found this puppy living in very poor circumstances .. she was living in a trash heap . She was tick and flea infested. Dirty scared and alone
Awful . She didn’t walk she crawled getting as close to the ground as possible I Called animal control . They did nothing . She said as long as the puppy had food and water there was nothing they could do . … so I got the puppy and took her home . She was so scared . She’s an adorable Black and white pup .later that night , I picked more than 20 ticks off her before I bathed and used the flea and tick stuff on her . I’ve had her since Thursday . It’s remarkable how they can change so rapidly in so short a time once they feel safe .she never had a toy before or played . She has prospered in all the love and attention. She eats well … still learning how to play and can be unsure sometimes . Basically she sits by me . I can tell she would be a loyal and loving companion . Perfect for kids or a single woman . I’m willing to meet you half way for a meet and greet . She has stolen my heart and I want the best for her

Her name is Tawny. I took on this responsibility to teach her the basics. She's house broke leash trained and knows a few commands, She can fetch, sit, lie down, come here, stay, I can toss her treats and she can catch them. She can be stubborn at times. She talks to you when she wants to go outside. She loves riding in the car. She loves the car. She doesn't have to be going anywhere, as long as I'm there she's happy. Gets along with people after she gets to know them, same with animals. She likes humans better. She has a lot of energy. Since she is barely two years old. She's not a big dog, but she's not small . I live in a small place which is hard for her. She needs to have more space to stretch her long legs. As far as activities goes, she just likes to "go" no matter where.

We fostered Moose and have spent 3 months training him with help from Alpha Dog in Mill Valley. He is very social, and great with other dogs, kids, and adults.
Would be perfect for a young family or an active individual. Moose is high energy, tons of fun, and not looking for the quiet life :-) His husky qualities are present so an owner with previous dog experience would be great.
His shots are current, he’s neutered and house-trained.
We want to make sure his forever home is a perfect fit. As foster parents, we can be flexible and patient and will do all we can to support a transition.

I've been feeding this friendly cat for a while. Tried to find the owners via social media, flyers in the neighborhood and a message on his collar asking to call me if it's your cat. I had him neutered as a feral cat, since no one came forward. I can't keep him because my cat doesn't get along with him, and my cat was hospitalized recently for a life
threatening urinary blockage brought on by stress.

Thank you for taking the time to read to read our post
The gorgeous guy you see here is Fidget He is an approximately 3 yrs old, 55 pound, male Pitbull Terrier. He is neutered & up-to-date on all shots. Fidget is house broken, leash & create trained. He's gotten along with other dogs, But unfortunately cannot live in a home with cats due to his prey drive (which we can discuss in more detail). Fidget was a stray pulled from an overcrowded shelter in Modesto & is currently located in Cloverdale, California in Sonoma County. Fidget is amazing! He's absolutely loving & seems to appreciate everything you do for him, which he happily let's you know with kisses! He's athletic & active, but will happily just cuddle on the couch with you holding hands. For real! This dog loves to hold hands!!! It's the most endearing thing! He's smart & Very treat motivated! He knows some basic commands & would benefit & truly blossom with obedience classes. Fidget has a super comical & unique personality, which goes along with his unique smile! And guess what!? Fidget Just won one of the categories in North Coast Journal's pet photo contest, "The face only a mother could love" So he's got some fame under his collar! Lol. As you can see he has a cleft lip! It really doesn't give him any trouble. And we can speak further on it if you're interested in knowing more or would love to meet me!

She is trained to not pull while walking and is creat trained. We are rehoming her because we recently got the opportunity to work from home from our house in Costa Rica. We plan on traveling back and forth though out the year and have no one to watch her.

Our small family lives in a small space where it's rather mellow, yet fun and playful. We try to be outside whenever we can, even in fall and winter months. Kona loves kids, is very affectionate, wants all the pets but isn't much of a toy guy. He isn't one to play fetch much but likes some tug toys. His favorite toy is his monkey which may need to be replaced about now. Kona makes friends wherever we go. He loves visiting the dog park to play with friends, to run and get out some energy. Kona was potty and crate trained as a puppy, is familiar with sit, up, lay, off, here/stay, commands but may also be a bit of a selective listener. He needs regular brushing and to be groomed when needed. Kona is a good boy and we've been lucky to have each other as long as we have but after a divorce and moving with two children, I'm unable to afford a home where Kona is allowed. My boy needs a home that is forever, where he isn't labeled and rejected for his breed.

Anubis is a very sweet but very shy mid size 30 lb. dog. He currently lives in a busy family home with two other little dogs and a kid. He is fully house trained. He loves to play fetch and chew on toys. He loves adventure walks/hikes but is very shy around other people and animals. Sometimes he gets reactive on the leash but is redirect-able and usually just hides behind his person. He sits for treat and *usually* goes to lay down when told. He loves snuggles and sleeping on your feet and will steal your pillow once you leave the bed. He’ll go in his crate when we leave but will break out of it if you don’t latch it and bungee it tight. We keep him crated when gone cause he does like to steal things and chew them up when alone. He’s especially scared of men while he will warm up to most men, after 3 years he has never warmed up to my husband and might do best in a man free home.

Our home is a very busy house we are always moving around and doing activities and Tobi loves to follow me from room to room. He was bitten once at a dog bark and is now cautious with other dogs but is still curious and interacts but is very cautious now. As for people he can’t get enough of meeting new people and making you feel welcomed every time he gets very excited to see you come home and greets all with a jumps and excitement. He is potty trained and will always announce when he needs to leave by standing at the door or barking and crying if you miss that signal he will have an accident. He is not fully trained but listens and understands his name when spoken to and will sit on command especially when you have a treat for him. His favorite activities are walking around the block and playing chase with anything he gets a hold of he loves you running behind him while he has a toy in his mouth any ball with keep him entertained for a good while. Sadly due to us having to move houses soon our new landlord doesn’t allow pets at the location we’ve tried everything we can but can convince him so we need to find a proper home for him soon preferably someone who can be with him a lot and allow him inside the house he is very much a inside house dog and prefers the inside.

She is an Australian Cattle dog mix of some sort…. We are guessing around 60ish lbs. We think she is around 8 years old. She is great with people, but has a “trigger” with some but not all dogs. She was a rescue from a kill shelter and then fostered first by her now owners, our neighbors, who adopted her 2 years ago. Unfortunately, her current owners are older and the husband is now ailing and the wife just cannot take care of her any longer.

Re-homing Ben do to health issues. Ben is about 18 months old, he would do best as the only pet in the house as he loves your undivided attention. He is a great companion, house trained, crate trained, no medical issues or allergies. He eats Costco premium food, is neutered, loves walks (he does become anxious when he sees other dogs and pulls me), loves hikes. Ben would do great in an active household, he would be a great walking, jogging, hiking companion. Ben is 32 lbs., a cattle dog mix.

Levi is a 4 year old blue heeler mixed with border collie. He is bonded to his brother, Maverick, however when he's bored, he does well away from him. He is a major love bug and velcro pup. He enjoys lounging around, cuddled up to someone. At first he is very timid, but once he is comfortable, he won't leave your side. He loves playing fetch or chewing on his bones. He is crate trained and house broken. He does well around other dogs, but is unsure about cars. He responds to his name and knows how to sit. Other basic commands are still being worked on. He does walk well on a leash, but not sure about off leash walking.

I am looking for a new home for him because I am moving from a home with a backyard to a single room that can't accommodate him.

Mama (8 yo) and son (7 yo) have beautiful big blue eyes and little pink noses. Looking to adopt them as a pair. Marcel (son) is a curious explorer who loves cat nip. He will study your facial expressions to see if you’re open to having him in your lap. If you’re not, he’ll settle nearby. He’ll greet you at the door. Paloma (mama) is very chill with little bursts of playfulness. She’ll reach her paw out as you walk by to let you know that she would enjoy some petting. Both are very independent and don’t require a lot of interaction. They’re indoor cats that love catios and sitting in windows in the sun watching birds.

I’m heartbroken to put my babies up for adoption. I’m moving to the east coast at the end of December to care for my elderly mother who is sick and very allergic to cats. Marcel and Paloma are very shy toward strangers so I need someone who is very patient. They are both very healthy and urgently need a loving home.

Fugi wandered into my daughter's apartment and stayed. My daughter moved out of state for work, so he needs a new home.
He's about a year and a half old, vaccinated, and neutered. He's an indoor cat, and used to a relatively quiet routine.
Fugi doesn't enjoy being picked up, but he is sociable and loves to be close; he will frequently insist on head and neck scratches, and will let you know when he's had enough. He's quiet and very good with his hygiene (including the litter box).
Fugi is not a cat-loving cat, but he tolerates the chihuahua mix dog he is currently staying with.

But this first cat has not taken to Gigi at all in the 3 years I've had her, and Gigi clearly wants a play buddy. Since Gigi is still young, it hurts my heart to think she won't have a friend to play with for the remainder of her years. She's a dream cat, so sweet and happy, and wants to have fun and run around part of the day. I’m hoping to find a home that is a better fit for her. I love her, but I also want her to have a playful social life. I picture her with another cat who also is into playing and maybe cuddling. She is currently an indoor cat with fenced backyard access, she uses the litter box great. Let me know if you'd like to chat, thank you for reading, Cathy :)

Luna is a 5 month old lab mix brought home by my granddaughter. She is a busy puppy and she needs more space and individual attention. I have other dogs and 3 is too much for me. She gets along with the11 month rescue who 60 lbs and the poodle terrier mix who is 12. She is teething and needs chew toys. She eats like it’s her last meal on earth. She needs more exercise than I can give her. She is good with children. She is house trained.

I took in this gorgeous 7yo big boy recently when one of his owners passed away and the remaining caretaker was overwhelmed. I myself am retiring and moving out of the county soon and unable to bring him with me. He used to live with two dogs (one small one large) and they all got along beautifully. I have 2 cats and they co-exist, but haven't expressed a desire to snuggle or argue either way. He wants nothing more than to cuddle, and walks gently on a leash. He also loves car rides, and will let out a mighty but friendly bark or two if he sees another dog out and about. Getting him out of the car can be a challenge sometimes.

He is a big boy and will need a strong adopter to make sure he can't pull them over (he sometimes gets excited to meet new friends, or walk faster). He is already neutered current on vaccinations until March 2024.

We currently live in a busy home with 2 kids, 2dogs and a cat. Daisy is house and crate trained (at night). She has a lot of toys to play with and does not chew/play with anything besides her toys and socks. She is very territorial and cannot take it when another pet gets attention. She buys the ears of our other animals, and has bitten us when she knows it’s time for bed. The biting is the main reason she cannot live in our home with children and other pets.

Happy puppy looking for his forever home. We are fostering a 4 month old Australian shepherd puppy. We took him and his sister in as the person who had them could no longer care for them. He is smart (learned “sit” in 10 minutes), plays well with big/small dogs, loves people and fine with our 3 year old. He loves playing with his stuffed squirrel but will play with pretty much anything! He isn’t yet house trained only because we can’t fit all the rescue puppies in our tiny house at this time.

Buddy is a very excited dog loves a lot of attention. He is a heavy shooter, which does not work well for my nine year old we currently live in a three bedroom townhouse, but he has been an inside dog with routine bathing and walks. We have tried everything to help with the shedding, including medication for my son this has not worked we have tried everything. But he is an excellent dog at 10 months old.

About Pancho:

My husband and I adopted Pancho back in 2019, he was my first baby and holds a very special place in my heart. When we adopted him, they guessed that he was about 4-5 years old at the time, meaning that we believe he is about 8-9 years old now.

Pancho is a mixed breed for sure, but we/his vets guess that he is mostly long haired terrier & Portuguese podengo or Parsons russell terrier. He is about 16lbs and could stand to lose a few pounds, as that is a little heavy for his size (food is his love language, and mine ).

The wonderful parts about Pancho...

Pancho is a true snuggler, and it is his life passion to burrow under the covers and curl up next to you all day everyday. He would love to go on a walk with you everyday, but also doesn't mind if you skip a day here and there, he is very easy going when it comes to activity level and doesn't need tons of exercise. As long as you come home to him everyday with lots of petting and time to cuddle- he is happy as can be. He is also used to a working family, so he spent work days (6-8hours) home alone each day, during that time he was in our living room with access to the patio via a doggie door.

He has lived a spoiled life with us, getting to sleep in bed with my husband and I, and being allowed up on the couch with his humans, so he will expect and want this in his next home for sure.

Pancho is potty trained and dog door trained. We live in a condo with a small patio, and he takes himself in and out throughout the day to use the bathroom. He will however avoid going outside in the rain, so laying some puppy pads out by the dog door is helpful on rainy days.

Pancho is leash trained, and is a wonderful walking companion for a leisurely stroll (he wants to stop and sniff all the things- so cardio workouts are not happening while walking him), he does really great on leash.

Pancho knows a few helpful commands already, "Sit", "Wait", and "Ok".

Pancho is not a big barker, unless he hears something outside. He's a wonderful security system and protector! He will not bark all day when left home alone, in fact he is very quiet and will sleep almost all day long. But, he does bark quite a bit when someone knocks on the door. His barking has never been a problem with a sleeping baby at home, so barking wasn't ever an issue for us.

He will be extremely loyal and connected to his person as soon as he gains trust. He is also very handsome, takes a great photo, and looks wonderful in a bandana.

The challenging parts about Pancho...

Because Pancho was let down by humans for so many years before we found him, he has a hard time feeling at ease with people and life around him sometimes. He does not do well with children/babies, and it took him some time (a couple of weeks) to warm up to my husband. He also gets nervous when other men are over at our house and approach him, so we believe men to be a source of past trauma for him. However, he does not randomly attack any men that come into our home, he just doesn't enjoy being approached, pet, or picked up by them until he gets to know them.

He is in great health other than that he has an inflamed/partially slipped disc in his back that doesn't affect his daily life other than maybe once a year when he has a flare up which a few days of crate rest and an anti inflammatory takes care of quickly- but, if he is picked up abruptly or in a wrong "twisted" way, he can react due to pain. He also has some allergies, we have found that chicken seems to be what causes his allergies to flare up, so keeping him on a food without chicken has done wonders for that. Pancho is neutered and microchipped as well.

Pancho can also be a bit reactive to other dogs, typically larger dogs. He would not do well in a home with another dog that is larger than him, or a high energy, jumping, puppy like dog. We brought a puppy home in 2020, Frida, and while it took Pancho a few weeks to adjust to her, he is the best companion to her ever now (separating them is another source of heartbreak for me). They are playful together and get along without issue now, but this was due to a lot of work put in by my husband and I in acclimating them- I wouldn't recommend introducing him to another dog in the home, but especially a larger, active, male. He would do well with another older, lazy, mind their own business kind of dog though. Dog parks are not Pancho's happy place, he prefers solo outdoor time and should remain on a leash at all times to avoid any reactivity with other dogs.

Pancho has a hard time with groomers/grooming. He had a traumatic incident at a groomer about 9 months ago and now has a very hard time with haircuts and nail trimming. I have found the best way to take care of him in that way is to bring him to a very trusted groomer with some sedatives to help relax him and get the job done, or he will also allow his person (me, or the next person he trusts) to cut his nails and trim his hair, but very slowly with lots of pets, treats, and reassurance in between cuts and clips. He handles being bathed at home in our bath tub or at a self serve dog wash place just fine, the tools used for cutting nails and trimming hair seem to be what make him nervous.

All that said...
I am hopeful that you may know someone who is the perfect person to share their home and their love with Pancho. While it was hard for me to write out all of his challenges, it is a super important part of who he is, and setting him and his next human up best for success. It is absolutely killing me to have to be here now, but I am optimistic about a new home that will make him feel more supported and at ease as well. He truly is such a loving and wonderful dog, but our home is no longer best for him.

Please reach out to me if you know someone, and if you don't, sharing this any way you can to get the word out in helping me find his perfect match would be so appreciated.

We adopted our sweetheart of a Pit Bull puppy, Baloo, from a litter posted on Craigslist when he was 2 months old in December. Baloo was supposed to be a small lab mix, but turned into a big ol' Pitty. He and our other pup Butterscotch have been best friends since he came home, but now he is too big (already 60 lbs at 10 months) and too energetic for us to keep him. As he has entered his adolescence phase Baloo has developed stranger anxiety and we are working with behavior trainers to curb this behavior/fear as quickly as possible. Unfortunately he now plays too roughly with his elderly sis- she tries to hold her own but as she continues to age she will not be able to. He is both house trained and crate trained. He has attended Petco and Marin Humane puppy training series classes, is smart and easily trainable (with treats of course!) has “posses” of pups and people at our local parks, and is SUCH an adorable cuddle-bug. He follows my husband and me around the house- he really loves to be around his "people." We love him SO much and want to find him a wonderful new home soon.

This is molly ! She is a part of a very busy home and she is an indoor cat. She has never been very loving of the outside. She is one out of 4 cats that I own and is very friendly with other cats but would probably honestly be happier being a single kitty in my opinion. She is very vocal and loves to have the attention just on her, she loves laser pointer and loves anything that moves quick and fast. She also absolutely loves boxes haha. She is house trained to an extent, she goes to the bathroom where she Is supposed to and has never gone anywhere else (unlike my other kitties ). Other than potty trained that’s pretty much it. She does not know any tricks but goes honkers for treats (she’s too chunky tho so she can’t have too many! ) for her I am hoping to find someone who is going to provide her with tons of attention and love. She will do fine In a home with one other cat but I do prefer she does not go to a home with more than one other cat, from my experience I feel she would really thrive as a single kitty. She needs someone who will be able to give her the time and attention she deserves. I’m also hoping to find someone who will allow me to just check in every once in a while to make sure she is doing well.

Pixie is a fixed Chiwiener mix. She was born 07-28-2009. She has been attacked and almost killed twice by 2 different big dogs. So she has a lot of anxiety around bigger dogs. She is a huge sweet heart that loves to cuddle with you and sleep under your blankets if you allow. She has allergy problems and is constantly scratching or licking herself. We do get her allergy shots every couple of months. She loves to sleep, she really doesn't play any more due to her age. She loves to go on walks and smell everything! She has shown more separation anxiety due to us working out side of the home, and we don't have the availability to be at home with her. Her ideal living situation would be someone that is home a lot, so she isn't left by herself for long periods of time. She currently sleeps in a small fenced in area, in the living room, and more and more over the last few weeks, she is waking us up all hours of the night. She doesn't like to be in her cage, but we don't like her wandering around the house.

She can’t be left alone or unattended in your home, a
room, car, etc unless she is in her crate.
She can be crated in between walks, playtime, runs
etc. -She requires a towel to cover her crate because
any visuals are too stimulating and cause barking &
digging.
Not going to place her in a home that has small animals living alongside her. No birds, chickens, rabbits, Guinea pigs, reptiles, etc. she has not hurt or killed one of our little animals but, it’s just an accident waiting to happen and just too challenging for her to be around.
No babies or toddlers or small children who do not understand how to communicate and respect dogs.

Summary of Eve’s Needs for her best life:
We want a better lifestyle for Eve. We can’t provide her enough attention or the exercise and lifestyle that she requires. We have too many small animals and big open spaces that don’t Work well for her and her chasing/ running instincts.

She would be great for someone or a family who can exercise and play with her often. She does require a very confident dog handler/ person to be on her very best behavior. She is not a dog for a first time dog owner or for a former couch potato dog owner. She is extremely high energy but, tons of fun if you have the dedication and the time.

Chloe is an 11-year old, 12 lb Chihuahua/Dachshund mix. As she's gotten older, she's gotten more anxious and nervous around our 1-year old son. She tends to get a little nervous around new dogs, new people, and new situations. But once she warms up to you, she really just enjoys the simple things: cuddling in your lap, snuggling under blankets, and sunbathing in any ounce of sunshine she can find.

Chloe would do really well in a home where someone is home pretty consistently, and would do well with other dogs. She has lived with big and small dogs in the past, but would probably not do well with cats or young children. We are hoping to find her a loving and calm home in her older age.

About Fuzzy Muppet: This sweet girl was abandoned by her owner about 5 years ago. We have brought her into our home 2 weeks ago and have had her fully checked out by our vet. She seems to be about 11 years old and aside from the stress of being abandoned and homeless, is quite healthy.She has a good appetite, uses the litter box and does not scratch the furniture. Although a little skittish, she loves human attention and purrs on demand.
Unfortunately we are not able to keep her and can't bear the thought of putting her out on the street again or into a shelter. She would love to be in a calm loving environment.
