Alyssa is a solid, mid-sized girl with a gorgeous black and tan coat. She is around 1 year old and was an unclaimed stray from Modesto. Her house manners are wonderful. She is crate-trained, housebroken, and knows Sit, Down, Stay, and Bed. She also does well on a leash. This House Princess is no stranger to life indoors.

Alyssa does have a lot of energy, can be quite rambunctious when she gets excited, and does tend to say Hello with persistent wet, sloppy kisses. She gets along well with her foster brother, sister, and the 3 month old puppy in the house. . . . See more.

German Shepherd puppy Kato
More

Adopted 8/6/11!

Kato

Kato is a feisty, 3-4 month old cutie from Merced County. He was an unclaimed stray who tested positive for Parvo at the shelter and fortunately we got him quick enough to get him started on treatment right away. He came through it just fine and is none the worse for wear. He's a handsome black and tan fellow, and his stocky, little tree-trunk legs suggest that he's going to be a big one!

Kato loves being close to his people, and greets his family with lots of kisses. He's learning to be crate-trained, and is working on house-training and manners. . . .

Max

Adopted 8/5/11!

Max

Max is a very loving, classic black and tan, 4-5 year old boy who had a tough start in life. He came to us very thin, heartworm-positive, loaded with parasites, and with flystrike on his ears. 

Max has now finished his heartworm treatment. He has gained weight, his coat looks much better, his ears are healed but scarred, and he is ready to find his forever home with a family who will appreciate his kind soul. . . .  See more.
