Angelo 07-3414

Breed: Domestic Shorthair

Age: 17 years 10 months
Listed By: Furry Friends Rescue

Hi! I was rescued when I was a teenager and due to my medical condition, I am a sanctuary cat at my kind foster home. I can be a busy boy. Love to tackle your hand yet usually you don't get scratched, I may act rough but am really a gentleman. Like to take my toys into the bathtub and run around; will "help" with mopping, sweeping, making beds, and will want to help you brush your teeth. Love to cuddle under your chin while you watch TV. I am Adorable and charming and want to be your best friend forever. Great with other indoor cats.   Full of personality and life.  He loves to play with his toys in the bathtub, and play fetch (actually brings the toy back to me)!

Angelo had been to a specialist and got confirmation of a Progressive Restrictive Cardiomyopathy and mild non-progressive cardiomyopathy.  The vet could not give us any idea if and when his heart would start giving him difficulties. Vet did state that someday when it does act up there are meds that will help for awhile.  Angelo will live out his life in his loving FFR foster home. .

Arthur (GA)

Breed: Labrador Retriever / Corgi

Age: 6 years
Listed By: Furry Friends Rescue

Arthur is a goofy, happy, six-year-old dog. We think he is a mix between a labrador and a short breed like a Basset hound or Corgi, but we're not entirely sure. We adopted him as a puppy after he was found as a stray.

Arthur loves being outside. He enjoys playing fetch with a tennis ball in our backyard, going on long walks, and swimming in streams. He likes to sleep on his fuzzy bed or build a pillow nest on the couch. He spends most of his day lounging and making himself comfortable around the house. He is house trained, knows standard commands, and is easily teachable with treats. Arthur likes his space to be respected and will do best in a home with no other animals and no children.

We made the heartbreaking decision to re-home Arthur because he is anxious and reactive around our baby. Arthur has no bite history, but the unpredictable sounds and movements of our baby make him uncomfortable. We love Arthur and we want him to have a family where he can feel at ease.

We are helping Arthur's current guardian to rehome him. Please fill out our online application and we will forward to them. Adoption fee would be minimum $100 donation to Furry Friends Rescue. If you have specific questions please send them through and we will put you in touch with his current guardian.

Daisy D5084

Breed: Chihuahua (Long Haired) Mix

Age: 12 years 11 months
Listed By: Furry Friends Rescue

Daisy was adopted but due to her guardian's declining elder health and lack of funds for vet care, she returned Daisy due to her diagnosis of diabetes (need more vet care, tests, and medications), she was returned back to us. Daisy was very sick in Dec. 2017 and her foster home rushed her to emergency for hospital care. Poor Daisy had 3 days of IV and hospital care to save her. She is now a Sanctuary Dog at her hero foster home. Daisy now needs twice daily doses of injected insulin and periodic blood/urine/lab tests and needs to be monitoring for the rest of her life. So far her vet costs exceed $1,300.00 which her foster home covered. They are her angels and heroes to care for her and all her medical needs.

We took in Daisy last minute from a very crowded shelter on 10/28/14. She is very sweet and friendly. Great with other dogs and easy going. Daisy was covered with fleas and treated/bathed. She has bad teeth and will get her dental on Monday. Meanwhile, she is now relaxing at her wonderful foster home and getting TLC. 

Dancer

Breed: Anatolian Shepherd Mix

Age: 4 months 3 weeks

Dancer seems to be the more outgoing one. More info. to come as they relax and learn.

Dancer is more outgoing than Prancer

Gibby (GA)

Breed: Siberian Husky Mix

Age: 6 years 2 months
Listed By: Furry Friends Rescue

Gibby is very friendly with people, likes car rides, going on walks and runs and taking naps. He is good in the house and prefers to be inside during the day. He is house trained and exhibits no destructive behavior to belongings or furniture. He likes to be with people all day and can stay in a crate for periods of time. He is a gentle guy and very trainable. He knows "sit" and "leave it" and is very obedient. He loves playing with dogs his size and has learned to coexist with small dogs as well.

Gibson's exercise needs are low maintenance for his breed. He will sleep at your feet while you work from home or watch you cook and do chores. He has gone out dining and out shopping- he loves to meet people. He loves hikes and long walks and enjoys using the obstacle course at the dog park. He would be a great companion and enjoys being with other dogs. He plays with other friendly big dogs at the dog park and attends doggy daycare.

Gibson does use a crate , but uses it crated near another dog while I am gone. Gibson would do best with a person or family who is frequently home or has another dog to keep him company as he does not do well by himself.

He presents a prey drive - someone familiar with the husky breed will be a great match! No small animals, cats, or rural homes with livestock (cows, sheep). He has learned to leave it with cats and squirrels on walks and will listen to command. Must have strong person able to handle him on leash when he does pull.

Gibson does well with respectful kids of all ages.

We are helping Gibby's current guardian to rehome him. Please fill out our online application and we will forward to them. Adoption fee would be minimum $100 donation to Furry Friends Rescue.

Hank

Breed: Boxer Mix

Age: 9 years 10 months
Listed By: Peace of Mind Dog Rescue

Meet the dog with the world's biggest heart! Hank has tons of love to share in the form of cuddles, snuggles, and adoration for his family. Hank refuses to pick favorites-in fact, he's a fan of yours already! He has excellent manners-no jumping up when saying hello, never begging, and asking permission before getting onto a bed or couch. Hank would be happiest in a house where folks have deep reserves of affection ready to share with him.

This energetic boy will need people who welcome a dog with spirit, strength, and passions: car rides, long walks, hikes, and fetch (only the best game in the world). He has shown some dog reactivity while on leash, but with reminders and training he's already showing signs of improvement. He has successfully lived with cats in the past, but would require a gradual introduction with any new kitty friends. He admits that his natural inclination is to chase cats (squirrels are also kind of irresistible). We don't know yet how Hank would do with children. Hank's dream situation would include humans of his very own to love, squeaky toys, and a yard.

Hank's DNA results show that he's a Super Mutt Mix! He's 50% Boxer mixed with German Shepherd, Golden Retriever and Border Collie.

Hank was surrendered because his senior guardian was no longer able to care for him.

Hansel D4539 (Gusto)

Breed: German Shepherd

Age: 1 year 11 months
Listed By: Furry Friends Rescue

Hansel was rescued from a distant shelter. He has been neglected, yet he is very sweet, warms up, then friendly, and cuddles when being carried. Huge thanks to Tama Veterinary Hospital for squeezing him in on the day we rescued him. He was loaded with fleas and had to have capstar to kill all the fleas and has pot belly from worms. Hansel got exam, stool test, Drontal plus (dewormer), rabies and microchip. Ear infection was cleaned with 2 week ear meds packed in. His foster home had to bath him right away to get rid of the fleas and dirt. Poor Hansel is so young but was neglected with poor diet, fleas and worms thus dull coat. He will get extra TLC, have dog playmates and get healthy soon at his HERO Foster Home that WFH. Fh cooks home-made foods to add to meals. Onward now to a great happy and spoiled life.

9/30/23 update from his Foster Home: He will try anything without fear as long as he knows I am nearby to keep him safe. He fetches a ball and returns it. His recall is excellent.  He is doing very well on a leash. Loves playing in water. Gusto followed his dog buddies right into the water and started swimming.  He is very motivated to play with other dogs once introduced properly.  Fine with her cat.  He is getting lots of socialization opportunities. He is active and need daily brisk long walks and jogs.  Foster home thinks he may need active guardians for K9 work or dog sports. Very intelligent, curious, receptive, and high energy. He goes on one leash walk and two off leash walks/hikes per day. No kids because he will chase them. 

Update:  Hansel needs to stay on leash to learn not to want to chase after runners, cars or bikes. This is common for some young teens if not trained to ignore. Need one on one training to train impulse control and recall.  He will work with a trainer soon for loose leash training.

From our GSD experienced volunteers and what we have seen, he seems to be a normal smart GSD teen energy, but does need active and experienced guardian for daily exercise, someone home, and focus on one on one training and classes.  Dog sports is always fun and great for young dogs.  Need to train for recall and other commands.  Loves playing with other dogs.

Hershey loves to play with balls, though she hasn't quite mastered the art of fetch. She'd be happiest in a home with older children who understand and respect her gentle nature and can appreciate her sweet and loving personality. If you're looking for a low-key, affectionate companion, Hershey might be the perfect fit for your family!

Jack 05-4145

Listed By: Furry Friends Rescue
Hi, I need a temporary foster home while I wait to be adopted. Will you please foster me?

Jack is Jill's 4.5-year-old brother (approx.)and they are a bonded pair. Jack is much more cautious than his sister and prefers to scope things out first before deciding to come out of his cozy hiding spots. Being near his sister keeps him calm and relaxed, and they often take naps cuddled up next to each other. Jack is a shy boy, but he opens up quickly. Once you earn his trust, he'll be jumping up on the couch to lay next to you and is the sweetest lap cat. Jack loves to perch next to a window for hours, looking out at the busy birds and neighbors. He'll be so happy just to have a nice view and a quiet place to take a nap. Though he sleeps a lot during the day, he still finds plenty of time to chase his sister around when he needs some exercise.

Hi, I need a temporary foster home while I wait to be adopted. Will you please foster me?

Jill is a 4.5-year-old domestic gray tabby with a dainty, round face and pointed ears. She's the queen of her castle and loves to be the first one in line for food and attention. Though she's happy to receive plenty of petting and affection, she also likes her space and prefers to watch everyone from her perch up on the cat tree. A tall lookout spot to hide or sleep is ideal for Jill. She also loves to groom her nails and scratching posts are a must in her domain. Playful and affectionate, she's the perfect companion if you want a friendly cat who loves to come out and say hello when you're nearby. She comes up to guests and greets them with hand sniffs. If you bring out a feather toy on a string she gets so excited and will show off her gymnastics tricks. Jill is brave and fearless; eager to explore her surroundings.

Katniss D7032/D5188

Breed: German Shepherd

Age: 8 years 2 months
Listed By: Furry Friends Rescue

She is friendly with people she knows and she is moderate active. Good with other dogs she knows, but can be very dog dominate with some dogs when she was at doggie day care for 2 weeks, or strange dogs on walks.  In her temp foster home, she was not good with female GSD stray that was off leash and ran up to her.  After a few meets, she was ok with her but ignored while on leash.  Katniss needs a very experienced guardian to guide and continue her training. She had a mild ear infection which was treated and she is fine now.  Needs experienced guardian for training and exercise with no other dog and someone that understands that not all dogs are social butterflies.  Katniss is loyal and bonds to her guardian, and prefers to be the only dog.  No dog parks.  Katniss would be a great best friend and hiking buddy!   

Prior to temp., foster home.  Katniss was doing well at her boarding & trainer's home.  She is smart, loves attention of people she bonds to and has been good with their other dogs with trainer supervision.  They have high GSD training experience to watch body language and their GSD are well trained to leave Katniss alone.

In a temp. foster home, she adjusted and became affectionate.  Loves her home life, relaxing, hanging out with her people, toys, treats, uses a doggie door and large yard.  Pulls on leash very hard and she is strong.  But now she prefers to be the only dog and good with people she knows. Reactive leary to strangers and visitors.  Loves treats and knows "Sit" command.  With visitors, she needs time to warm up before she will trust them.  She will react with "stranger danger".  She needs a very experienced adult home for basic quiet walks, routine, home with backyard and experienced/confident adult guardian with GSD to give her time (2-3 weeks to adjust).

She is emotionally sensitive to change. Phobic of change due to early spay.  At her foster home, she was good with mom and 2 sons (17 & 20 yrs), but leary and growled at the father.  At their home, she loved belly rubs, lounging on the sofa, quiet, and light ball play.  When she is unsure of a person (husband or strangers), she will bark or do low growl.  On walks, she would look at other people or dogs in the distance and did not bark.  Does bark at neighbor's dog from fence.  Will stare and chase squirrel, cat and possum on top of fence.

Update July 2020:  She is now in a very experienced foster home dealing with behavior issue dogs with no other dog at home to work with her.  She is fearful, phobic and very emotionally sensitive of change (more so then other dogs).  Takes her days to weeks to adjust, won't eat or drink, hides in her crate, fearful, and holds her potty biz.  Once she gets over her phobic fear stage in 5 days, she does relaxes and is normal.  Loves belly rubs, lovable, loves being petted, gives kisses, will lounge, watch TV, follow, and being brushed.  She loves kong on rope, squeaky or wobbly motion toys and chase after ball.  Katniss loves cheese, chicken, beef, and some fruit.  She is very strong on leash and wants to hunt for cats or small critters on walks, thus she goes into hunt mode.  She has very high prey drive to cats and small critters.  Once she sees a prey, she is very stubborn, focused, ignores treats, and will not listen to corrections. Wearing a dog pack back and squirt bottle works some with "no".  Took many months for her to now listen but will pull for the critter.  Need to stop and correct with No and stand firm.  Treats do not work.  Katniss wants to go out the door first (bolt) so need to set up dog pen in front door and continue training her with "Stay" and "Wait".   Foster home has to be very strong to hold her leash.  She is a huntress.   At home, she is very good at relaxing, will watch TV, likes Hawaiian music (rush out to yard to play), playing with squeaky toys/balls/tug-o-toy, very sweet and calm at home, will give kisses, shake paw for treats, and a buddy. She is alert and will bark at anyone at front door (protective) or other size of yard.  For yard, show squirt bottle or hose, and now knows to stop and go inside when told.   For now, she is a sanctuary dog unless someone can deal with her behavior issues, walk her during very quiet time to avoid other dogs and strangers, strong to hold her when needed, and deal with high prey drive.  Katniss is a loyal body guard on walks.

Linus D5183

Breed: French Bulldog / Cattle Dog Mix

Age: 1 year 4 months
Listed By: Furry Friends Rescue

Linus is part of Charlie Brown Litter. Holly, mom is French Bull Dog /Boston Terrier mix.  2/16/24 DNA test results:  Dad was a Cattle Dog 40% and 9% Border Collie.   They should be medium size adults and smart.

Holly was abandoned at a distant shelter and was very pregnant. Linus' DOB: 12/1/23. Once we rescued Holly and she arrived at her foster home, within 2 hours she went into labor and gave birth to 5 puppies. 2 girls and 3 boys. Whew! Just in time. All the pups and mom did great at their foster home. Home raised, healthy, lovable and social. The 5 pups are now learning at their next foster home for puppy training. All are playful, snuggly, and lovable. We do not know what they are mixed with. They seem larger than Frenchie pups and have tails. We will start to review applications Jan 20th. Puppies will be 8 weeks old on Jan. 27th and will get their first vaccinations and deworm. Need home with attached backyard. More info. to come on each puppy's personality.

1/24/24 Update: The 3 boys are fairly similar all playful and slower than the girls. Linus and Snoopy are a little more timid but get more playful when riled up by Brody. All love attention and to be held. They all did very well getting their first shots and these puppies are extremely smart and well behaved for such young puppies. They are learning sit and not to bite and are all doing very, very well. They will make wonderful family pets for someone. Their temperament is fantastic, gentle playful and sweet.

2/9/24 Update, 10 weeks old: Patty is definitely the smallest with smallest paws. Snoopy and Linus are about the same size 12 pounds and Patty is 10 lbs.. I think they will be medium sized dogs. Snoopy and Linus are slower and calmer. Patty is spunky and more independent and curious and a little more Frenchie personality . All learning crate training. Few accidents on pee pads now. They will hold to go out to backyard for potty biz.

3/1/25 Update: Linus is child friendly. He loves to get cuddles and loves belly rubs. He poops and pees in backyard. He likes to play with his brother Charlie. They enjoy running and playing with each other. He likes to go for a walk. He is trained to be in a crate to sleep. Able to understand instructions: come, sit, walk, wait, walk with me. In English and Hindi. Linus loves all varieties of dog friendly fruits and vegetables. Loves long drives. Basically he just loves to stay with family.

Lisa

Breed: Beagle

Age: 5 years 6 months
Listed By: Hope for China Dogs Rescue

Hi all! I am fostering this lovely, snuggly, and slightly timid beagle girl for Hope For China Dogs Rescue. The pup and I are in Daly City, CA, but the rescue is in LA. The rescue saves mistreated dogs from illegal breeding and the meat trade in China and brings them here to find them better lives. Lisa, 4.5 years old, has a sweet, gentle disposition, is very good meeting new people (very polite and gentle), is good in the car, is dog-friendly in a quiet way, is cat-friendly, is a couch potato who likes belly rubs, and is a snuggle bug and slipper thief. She is short and stocky (needs to lose some weight), has thick, soft fur, and huge paws! She is about 50% of the way there on potty training, and often uses pee pads when inside. She needs English lessons (lol) and basic obedience. She does pull on leash, but not crazily so. No leash aggression. She is startled by loud, sudden noises, but further exposure will lessen this. She is learning what dog treats are (she is still spitting some out) and is getting used to dog food (I'm feeding raw). She does have some separation anxiety when left alone, but if another dog is with her, she seems fine. Ideally, she should have a dog sibling and/or someone who is home much of the day. She needs to lose weight (she's currently 31.5 lbs and could safely lose around 4-8 lbs). Diet and exercise will help her a lot. She is chipped, spayed, and up to date on everything. If you know anyone looking for a sweet sweet beagle girl, please consider Lisa! Lisa on Wagtopia

More Info: I have been at the shelter since Feb 20, 2025.

Lobo is an exceptionally friendly dog who will lean into you and relish your affection. While he is currently a bit inconsistent in retrieving balls and toys, he thoroughly enjoys playing with them and interacting with you. He walks well on a leash and knows how to sit. Although Huskies can be somewhat hyper, this young dog is calmer than most.

Louie (GA)

Breed: Labrador Retriever / Pit Bull Terrier

Age: 1 year 4 months
Listed By: Furry Friends Rescue

Louie was found back in March 2024 emaciated and terrified, wandering the streets. After offering him food, he allowed himself to be carried to his new foster home where he was treated for fleas, ticks, and worms. Since then he has been neutered, chipped, and vaccinated. Although he is slow to trust new people and situations, he has opened up so much and is such a goofy, sweet, and funny guy. He loves playing with his toys and his ideal day is to just be at home with his foster people and their dogs. He absolutely loves other dogs, big and small! He knows sit, stay, come here, go lay down, and give me kisses. He's potty trained and kennel trained (he has been known to get into a bit of puppy mischief when left unsupervised for extended periods of time). We are working on building his confidence in public because, due to his early trauma from life on the streets and most likely abuse/neglect from humans, he can get very nervous/shy in unfamiliar settings, especially loud situations. He does love routine, riding in the car, and tends to do pretty well on hikes/beach adventures. When he was found, he was 15 lbs, and now is 45 lbs. He hasn't gotten much taller (he's kind of short and long) and isn't expected to. We think he is around 8 months old now and probably a lab/pit/? mix. Although he hasn't had direct contact with kids or cats, he doesn't react when passing on walks. He does take a few days to trust new people, and tends to vocalize his insecurity, but is a pretty quick learner and shows no signs of aggression of any kind. With a calm environment and some patience, there is no doubt that Louie will make a warm addition to his new household!

We are helping Louie's current guardian to rehome him. Please fill out our online application and we will forward to them. Adoption fee would be minimum $100 donation to Furry Friends Rescue. If you have specific questions, please send them through and we will put you in touch with his current guardian.

Louis (GA)

Breed: Shepherd Mix

Age: 5 years 4 months
Listed By: Furry Friends Rescue

Louis is an almost 5 years old neutered dog, mixed breed (with huskies, shepherds…etc), and is about 55lbs. We got him from Milpitas Humane Society when he was 4 months old.

We definitely had a great time with him. He is well-behaved at home, healthy and a great companion to owners. Louis can stay at home by himself for the whole day, which makes things easier as we have our daily job. At home, he never caused issues with furniture and is well potty trained. I usually walk him daily for 30-40 mins.

On the other hand, he is reactive to strangers. Walking him requires some experience. We have been working with trainers so we learnt how to de-escalate in situations. Our trainer has kindly agreed that she can continue to give tips to the new owner. The same applies to visitors at home, he might be reactive initially, usually the 2nd or 3rd visits he becomes friendly. Louis has more than 10 friends who visit us regularly.

For dogs, it also needs some time for him to get used to it. We had roommates in the past and they have a Husky. It took about a month for them to get used to it. After that, they become great friends and live together.

We are helping Louis' current guardian to rehome him. Please fill out our online application and we will forward to them. Adoption fee would be minimum $100 donation to Furry Friends Rescue. If you have specific questions please send them through and we will put you in touch with his current guardian.

Luna D5199

Breed: German Shepherd

Age: 3 years 7 months
Listed By: Furry Friends Rescue
Hi, I need a temporary foster home while I wait to be adopted. Will you please foster me?

Luna (watch my video!) is finally in a temp. foster home from 8/2/24 to 8/20/24 during her vacation time. Luna now gets to enjoy home time with person and daily walks/hikes.  She loves playing ball.  Luna did great with her mobile groomer and loves the brushing and petting. She wants to be your BFF. She still needs her forever home or foster to adoption home. Luna is a sweetie.

Update 8/4/24: She is doing great at her foster home. Already crate trained and will go in to nap.  Seems house-trained. Knows it's time for a walk when you pick up leash. Luna loves her food and treats.  Takes treats gently. She is very easy, good nature personality, well behaved and sweetie.  

Luna has been at Stanislaus Animal Shelter since 7/20/23. Her time was up on 9/2/23 so we rescued her to save her life. Need foster home for precious Luna. She is a shelter volunteer favorite! They all love her. Very sweet, loves to cuddle, affectionate and friendly with all dogs and people. Knows sit. Kind nature about her. We have back up emergency boarding for her. Huge thanks to Kristie. Setting up long distance transport. Best if we can find her a foster home. Luna seems to be an easy and very sweet family German Shepherd Dog (GSD).

Donations towards her emergency boarding is very much needed and appreciated.

9/6/23 update: She is settling in nicely, good eater and very affectionate. Fearless and has to check everything out. Learning how to ask for affection gently and how to not pull so much. Super fast on learning anything and is always watching you. She is very agile and light on her feet. Pretty girl with a lot of spunk. I have seen no dog reactivity, have not tested with cats yet.

Update 4/5/24: No cats for Luna but I have not seen any dog reactivity to any dogs (large or small). No resource guarding of food or toys. You can brush her, touch her feet, clean her ears and clean her teeth. She is very agile and quick, she does love to please. Outside she is much better with men, indoors, she is more guarded and wary. I believe that that "spooky" behavior has been learned to avoid doing things that she would rather not do. If I give her a firm and fair correction, she immediately becomes super friendly and behaves wonderfully. So, the new home or foster would need to be strong willed enough and comfortable setting boundaries and manners for her. She is healthy, good stomach (can eat anything with no problems). She loves to cuddle and is super loyal!

Lyle was on the SASA PTS list Sat. 5/13/24, at 4:30 pm, so we tagged him to save his life. He was a shelter staff favorite.  Now, we need a foster home for him ASAP as he is in emergency boarding.   

Lyle is a super dog and is people friendly.   He loves to play then calms - and he loves his pets.   He does need some basic training but he seems easy to train and he's a pleaser.  He already has learned to sit and wait for treats, only gently taking the treat after the release command.   Lyle is very pretty and unique with one blue eye.  Donations are appreciated to help us pay for his emergency boarding until we find him a foster home.

2/14/25 update.  Lyle is finally in a temp. foster home.  Doing great and loves following their other dogs.  He would do best in a home with another dog buddy.  They hang out together which comforts Lyle. When they first took him in, he was very nervous and timid. Lyle did great at our showcase events with other dogs around. Now he is learning, happy and healthy. His coat is better and softer. Eating healthier and fresh foods which makes a huge difference. He is house trained and crate trained.

Despite having no walks from his shelter kennel, once out, he is well behaved and great with other large dogs he met at the shelter and volunteers. He needs time to warm up and feel safe, then cooperative loves treats, and is lovable. Smart and gorgeous.  Max did great during his transport car ride, but once at a new place, he was nervous and confused.  Did take treats.  Once he knows you, he will be your best friend and bodyguard. Max will need an experienced guardian and a home with a yard. For now, no kids. More info. to come as he relaxes and learns.

7/1/22: He is now doing great at his foster home with 2 other GSDs.  With time, he adjusted to new people at home.  He is still leary of of strangers.  Bonded to his foster mom.  Loves his walks/hikes, playing ball and relaxing at his foster home.

9/12/21: Sadly, when his potential foster home and her 2 GSDs, during their two meets, her female GSD did not work out with him. The female is less tolerant of new dogs and wants to be the top dog. Max did great with her male dog and social. He loves treats, snuggled, being petted and enjoyed the attention. Need basic leash training. Poor Max will continue to board until we can find him an experienced foster home that will give him time to warm up and feel safe.

Max is boarding until we can find him an experienced and dedicated foster home.  Donations needed to help pay for his boarding.  To date since 10/20/21 over $4,000.

10/1/21: Our volunteers are visiting Max and taking him out for walks and play yard. Doing great and friendly with 2nd visit with female and male, with yummy treats and turkey hot dogs. Max goes to male volunteer for hot dogs, long walk and fine being petted. Max is a sweetie with people he knows and trust. Max would be a great hiking and home buddy.

Hi, I need a temporary foster home while I wait to be adopted. Will you please foster me?

Poor Mochi was neglected, severely matted and very dirty at a distant shelter. Shelter had him shaved down by a kind groomer who donated her service. 💜😍 He did get a nick on his tail from shave down. Needed a bandage on his tail. He was badly matted to his skin. Now he feels so much better. Happy and lovable. Mochi has been great with the foster home's 2 dogs, cuddly, polite, friendly and very sweet. He is an absolute love, very sweet, snuggly, polite, and affectionate. Mochi loves his healthy foods and cuddling with foster mom. He will rest, learn and get healthy and then will get his neuter surgery. More info. to come.

Update:  Mochi needs a new experienced foster home. He did great at his first temporary foster home with their two dogs. Loved cuddling, lounging and quiet home with yard. Now that is feeling better and comfortable...

They have biz travels so he was moved to a foster home monday evening in San Francisco with another dog. But city life is too noisy and busy for him. High foot traffic on walks. To much for him while he is adjusting and learning. At first foster home in San Jose with quiet neighborhood and backyard, he was calmer and relaxed. Need experienced foster home to guide and train him on walks to not do reactive barking at new dogs. He loves to cuddle and very sweet. Good with her dog at home.

Age: 6 years 4 months
Listed By: Furry Friends Rescue

Neena (was Tootsie) was at a distant and very crowded shelter for a long time and her time was running out. When volunteers took her out she was friendly and great with all the dogs on leash and in dog play groups (off leash). Did great with transporter. She is very skinny and needs to put on weight. Once out at her foster home on 11/17/21, she was nervous but warmed up fast to her foster home, but not to their female husky. She was guarding and reactive to their dog at home. Got into a few dog fights. They are keeping them separate and giving her time to adjust. 

11/28/21 Update: Took about a week, but Neena is now doing fine at her foster home and with their other female dog. She is the top dog at their home. They love their walks and hanging out. They do feed in seperate areas. She still need more basic and leash training.

1/12/22 Update: Still working on leash training to teach her to stop pulling and not be so excited when seeing other dogs while on walks.

3/28/22 Update: Foster hasn't attempted to test Neena with cats, however they can see Neena has a strong prey drive so if the cat runs it is expected Neena would chase.   She is now great with foster home's female husky.

Noah 10-4029

Breed: Domestic Shorthair

Age: 9 years 7 months
Listed By: Furry Friends Rescue

Noah was found in the streets by one of our foster homes. He was probably hit by a car and left to die on the streets. Noah was laying in the streets and injured for 2 days before our volunteer helped him. Our foster home took him in and rushed him to our vets. Poor Noah was skinny, sick with URI, broken pelvic and tail. Despite all his injuries and pain, he still purred when he was being handled. With vet care and TLC, he is now healthy, but will need his orthopedic hip & tail surgery soon. We need to raise funds for his surgeries which will cost over $3,000. Donations are greatly appreciated to help Noah. He is a miracle kitty! Fundraising page: https://www.youcaring.com/noah-491146

Noelle D6683

Breed: German Shepherd / Labrador Retriever Mix

Age: 1 year 4 months
Listed By: Furry Friends Rescue

Christmas family. Adorable Charity, Noelle and Jingle, were dumped in the back of a store. So much for the Christmas spirit of kindness. They were cold, covered in dirt and nervous and the shelter took them in. We rescued them from the distant shelter. The two females are more out-going. Noelle seems to be the top puppy. Both are doing great, got baths, lovable, playful and now very happy at their foster home. More info. to come as they grow and learn. Pups are not available til after 8 weeks old and they get their vet care. They most likely will grow up to be large adults. Best they get a home with a fenced backyard and active guardian for daily long walks and exercise.

Update: Both pups are doing great at their foster home. Noelle needs a new experienced foster home due to long vacations. Learning quick.  Smart and playful. Both are learning to go out to yard for potty time and learning to take turns for attention. Both are friendly and social. Been meeting many new people who visit during the Christmas break. They are curious of new sounds and sights, and comfortable. Smart pups. Need experienced guardian. Her personality (sensitive) and some body structure/movement has some Great Dane mix qualities but she is not as large. She needs time to warm up to new people and then affectionate.  Well behaved at home. Loves going on walks and hikes. Loves playing ball. Once she meets a dog, she wants to play. Noelle is too nervous to live with young children.

1/26/25 Update: Noelle is good with foster home's cat. Sometimes Noelle wants to play though... cat doesn't.

Nova D7455

Breed: Great Pyrenees Mix

Age: 3 years 9 months
Listed By: Furry Friends Rescue
Hi, I need a temporary foster home while I wait to be adopted. Will you please foster me?

3/10/22: Nova now needs a new experienced foster home or forever home as the only dog.  She did great with adopter's 2 adult dogs, but now at 9 mos. old, she wants to the top alpha dog at home.  With her people, she is very sweet, smart, attentive, treat motivated, and loves snuggling. She needs to be the only dog in home.  No other dog or cats in home.  

From her foster/adopters: She is a big, active girl who loves walks, playing fetch, and splashing around in her kiddie pool. Nova was originally adopted by her foster family who have had her since she was 9 weeks old and absolutely adore her. Unfortunately, despite growing up with their other dogs and doing great with them as a small puppy, as she grew to be the largest member of the pack she became reactive toward other dogs. Her family has worked with trainers on this issue. She is a very smart girl and is improving in public settings. Unfortunately, Nova is just not well-suited for life in a multi-dog household. Nova is cuddly and lovable with her people. She is a highly trainable girl, as she is very food-motivated and a fast learner. She has been through puppy training and excelled in agility activities. She does well in a crate. Nova is a sweet girl who just needs some solo attention. She would do well with an experienced handler in a home with no other animals or small children. 

See her current photos!

Below is from Nova's original posting in 2021:

We took in Nova from a kind lady that rescued her mom from a field in Bakersfield. Mom was starved and very skinny. Most likely dumped. Soon mom gave birth to one puppy. The guardian took her mom to her vet and had x-rays done, and no other pups. Nova is very special. Lady that found her already has 2 dogs (one senior dog with medical needs) and busy work schedule so she asked us to take in Nova to ensure her puppy training, care and socials. Nova is doing great at her foster home. She has huge paws, double rare dew claws, fluffy and very sweet. Not sure what breed mix she is. Mom is 60 lbs and very sweet. She will need a home with yard, prefer another dog at home, and experience with large dogs. Nova will be ready in 2-3 weeks after all her vet care. More info. to come.

8/21/21 update: It took her 4-5 days to start playing with foster home's dog. Will chase the ball and chewing. Does like to dig. Loves food and treats. Going out to yard for potty biz and few accidents inside.

Pixel (DOB 3/28/12) is about as big of a purr machine as his brother, Chip. He loves getting attention from people and being noticed. He and his brother, Chip, were found living in a company parking garage. Although well-fed and healthy, the one thing they lacked was human companionship and socialization. Now in their foster home, they're learning all about the benefits of lap-sitting, petting, laser light playing, and overall adoration from humans. Since they are bonded, it's best for them to be adopted together as a pair. Although still a bit skittish, they are well on their way in transition from two healthy feral kittens to two healthy, active, and friendly in-your-face kittens. They just need a little more patience and understanding to complete their journey. Chip and Pixel will be showcasing every Saturday and Sunday at the Fremont Petco from 1-4. Come meet them and give them the attention and little kitty massages they crave.

Hi, I need a temporary foster home while I wait to be adopted. Will you please foster me?

Prancer was left at a distant shelter as an under-aged puppy at 6 weeks old. She was nervous so the shelter put her with Dancer, Shep mix, also 6 weeks old. We rescued both of them and now they are doing great at their hero puppy foster home. They will get a great start since their foster home is also a trainer. Both are playful and adorable. They will be available when they are 8 weeks old. Appears to have strong prey drive.

Video from first hour at their foster home. https://www.facebook.com/FFRescue/videos/1100628651741940

Update from Foster Home 1/3/25: Prancer has a very sweet personality and she is quite cuddly. She plays with chew toys and plays pretty well with Dancer. She is herding breed type so probably no cats.

Update from Foster Home 2/19/25: She is doing great! Wonderful with other dogs, she could do ok with cats if someone took the time. Not aggressive with cats just wants to play with them but definitely not a prey drive type at all. She is fine with my cats does not chase them at all. She is crate trained both house and car. We are working on potty training but doing well with it.

Thanksgiving litter. 🍁GSD mix

Adorable Thanksgiving litter. We rescued these 4 under-age pups out of litter of 13 puppies (only 5 weeks old) from a super over crowded distant shelter on 11/9/24. Someone dumped them all without their mom on 11/4/24 and they were running out of options with no cage space and the shelter cannot care for young pups. All the pups were scared and huddled together at the shelter. Once in their foster home, they relaxed and are doing great. They love attention and cuddling. All love their slurry mix food, warm bed and playtime at their foster home’s yard for some sunshine. Now they will get to enjoy Thanksgiving in a warm and loving home while they learn. Two are thin but with healthy foods they will soon add some puppy weight. More info. to come. Video on Facebook of the 13 puppies at the shelter. More need rescue and foster homes.

1/22/25 Update: Puppies have lots of energy and are very gentle, social and loving. Eager to learn. Pumpkin is more independent than Tater. Loves other dogs, loves to cuddle. They love each other and our dog Tony and cat Mindy. They like to go for walks. They sit down if you ask them.

3/5/25 Update:  They love their daily walks, going hiking, going to the beach, social, snuggling on sofa and playful.  Pumpkin and Tater need new foster homes or foster to adoption homes now for one on one training and start training classes.  She might be a Carolina Dog and GSD mix.

Hi, I need a temporary foster home while I wait to be adopted. Will you please foster me?

Ranger was rescued from a distant shelter when his time was running out. He is very friendly, dog social, smart, BFF, and great hiking buddy. Ranger is magnificent!

Update from his Foster Home: Ranger is an active, smart and goofy 3-year-old German Shepherd. He knows all basic obedience, loose leash walking skills and has been learning off leash recall. Ranger has gotten along with numerous dogs of all sizes and breeds but hasn't really been interested in play. His main focus in life is his people and his ball. Ranger's ideal home is an active home that knows how to keep his body and his brain exercised. Ranger enjoys daily walks or jogs, a game of fetch and weekly hikes and swims. He may even enjoy trying out some dog sports. Despite being an active and adventurous dog, Ranger is gentle and calm inside of the home. He is crate trained and enjoys relaxing on his dog bed next to his foster family and their dogs.

Due to foster home's increased work and school schedule, Ranger needs a dedicated foster to adoption home or foster home. He is very well trained, knows commands, has great recall and smart.

Hi, I need a temporary foster home while I wait to be adopted. Will you please foster me?

His DNA test is a mix of many breed types.  Mostly Husky, Cattle dog and Terrier.  What a unique mix!

1/27/25: Urgent.  Romeo needs a new foster home or foster to adoption home.  His adopter from March 2021, have a toddler that Romeo is fearful of and now they are expecting a 2nd baby and move to a new house.  Romeo needs a adult home and older kids are fine.  He loves his walks and lounging at home with his family.  Sad they need to rehome him after almost 4 years.  They do not want to keep him sep with baby gate since he wants to be near them.  

8/5/24 Poor Romeo now needs a new adult forever home.  His current home adopted him March 2021, but they now they have a new baby that is crawling.  Romeo did well with new baby-dog training with a trainer, but recently he guarded his toy from the toddler when she tried to pick up.  He did a correction nip to her heel but no injury.  He was correcting her like another dog.  The couple have set up baby gates and following the trainer's tips, but feel it would best if he can be rehomed to adult or older kid home.  He loves his daily walks.  Prefers to be the only dog at home.  Romeo has been thru training.  Been eating healthy fresh food mix to his kibble.  Up to date with his annual vet care.

-------

Original updates from 2021 below:

We rescued Romeo from a distant shelter. He was found with metal cable line tied to his collar. He is Sandy's brother who we rescued last week. Romeo arrived at the shelter days later. The shelter was closed Friday to Monday, so he was very happy to get out of his kennel on 2/16/21.

He is very friendly, wiggly happy, and a sweetie. Was calm riding in the car with a car safety harness. Great with other dogs. He did great at his vet exam. Like Sandy, everyone adores him.

Romeo is already doing great at his foster home with another dog at home. Loved his long walk. His foster home is active and will hike/jog him daily for 3-5 miles. Romeo will love healthy foods/treats, home training, dog friends, daily exercise and TLC.

We are not sure of his breed mix, but has both Husky and Jindo qualities. Romeo has a fluffy tail and very soft coat. Romeo will not be ready for about 2 weeks or more while he settles at his foster home and we try to line up his neuter surgery. He will need an experienced and active guardian.  No cats since he does want to chase cats on walks.  

Romeo has adjusted quickly to his foster home. He is very loving and full of energy.. He will definitely need an active family and daily exercise. We are working on fetch and he’s almost got it down! Loves squeaky toys and tennis balls. He loves to give cuddles and is a very sweet boy. Sometimes he can be a bit unaware of his own size and strength, but he is still young. He needs a lot of training to be a better walker. The pulling on walks can be an issue but nothing proper training can’t solve. We are working on potty training. Once he gets neutered, that will help with the marking problem. He most likely would not do well in a home with younger children because he is a bit clumsy, and still does the puppy biting thing (Understandable because he is still young). No children under 10 years. Despite his size, Romeo is a really good lap dog who loves belly rubs and cuddles. He does just fine with other dogs of all sizes. As far as cats, he seems triggered by cats on our walks. I don’t know how he would do in a home with a cat. He sleeps comfortably in the crate at night, and doesn't seem to mind it.

Snowy was rescued on 9/29/14 from a Santa Clara County shelter. Snowy is a very gentle and sweet dog. Very affectionate and does great with other dogs. He is recovering from severe neglect where he lived his life outside. Due to his severe matting he ended up having many open skin wounds which are now healing. He is undergoing extensive rehab, learning to live inside a house.

Update Oct 2014: Snowy is doing fantastic in his foster home. As the foster home states, "he is the perfect dog!" He does great with their dog and all family members. He enjoys going on walks and hikes. Since being in his foster home, we have discovered that Snowy may have a neurological/behavioral issue. He seems to be unaware of when he needs to go to the bathroom. He tends to soil himself without realizing it. Snowy was examined by a vet and all tests seemed to show no neurological issues. Instead the vet thought his issue was more behavioral, however there is no way to be 100% certain. The foster home has him wear diapers and it works great. Snowy will need that special person willing to take him as he is and boy will his forever home get so much more in return. He is just a love bug, loves being around people and especially loves to snuggle and be held. He is one of those dogs that has been through so much he now deserves his forever loving home.

Snowy is a Sanctuary Dog. Donations appreciated for his supplies (diaper/pads) & constant vet care needs (tests, x-rays, medications).
