Izzy PHS's Story:

Meet Izzy, A Petite Bundle of Joy, Coming Out of Her Shell, and Ready for Her Forever Home

Hi there, I'm Izzy, a sweet German Shepherd girl just over a year old. Life's been a bit of a rollercoaster for me; I came from a shelter after my previous owner, sadly, became homeless and had to give me up. But I'm not one to dwell on the past! I've recently joined an amazing foster family, and I'm learning all about love, comfort, and what it means to be part of a home.

I'm a unique pup with a personality all my own; my foster parents say I'm interesting, in the best way! I'm generous with my toys (yes, I share!) and kind to my two foster dog siblings. Sometimes I play a little rough, but I'm never mean or aggressive. In fact, I've never shown any aggression toward food or toys. I'm more of a lover than a fighter; literally. One time, when my foster dad hurt his thumb, I ran right over and gave him face kisses to comfort him. That's just who I am.

Lola PHS's Story:

From Shelter Pup to Shining Star: Meet Lola

Hi there! I'm Lola, and I'm still getting used to this big, exciting world, but I think I'm really going to like it.

I'm a 6 month old German Shepherd puppy with big ears, soulful eyes, and a heart that's growing braver (and goofier!) every day. After spending six weeks in a noisy shelter, I landed in a cozy foster home, and wow, soft beds and kind humans are so much better than concrete floors and constant barking.

I'm what you might call thoughtfully cautious. I like to observe before diving into anything new. Loud things like leaf blowers and motorcycles? Still deciding how I feel about them. Barky dogs up close? Not my favorite, I might retreat to safety until things settle down. But once I know I'm safe, I bounce back quickly.

Clapton's Story:

Meet Clapton: A Well Loved Senior Gentleman Ready for His Next Chapter

Clapton (aka Amadeo) is an 11 year old, 110lb German Shepherd with a heart full of love and a life story that proves just how special he is. Adopted from us a decade ago, Clapton spent a joyful life on beautiful acreage in the East Bay hills. With a loving mom by his side, he enjoyed training classes, doggie daycare, and countless adventures.

Now, Clapton finds himself looking for a new home after his beloved owner passed away. While his extended family cared deeply for him, they knew he deserved more than they could offer, and reached out to us, as we always promise to take our adopted dogs back, no matter the circumstances.

Manhattan's Story:

Meet Manhattan, or Manny, as his friends call him!

This gentle, goofy 1 year old German Shepherd was born in April 2024 and is already living his best life in a loving foster home; but he's ready for his forever family!

Weighing in at a 77 pounds, Manny is a beautiful boy with an even bigger heart. He's the perfect blend of mellow and playful: happy to romp with his canine foster brother or go on a walk, but just as content hanging out quietly at your feet.

Manny thrives on being near his people and greets them with such enthusiastic joy, even if you were only gone five minutes. (Don't worry, he settles quickly.)

Moose PHS's Story:

Meet Moose!

Moose is a 5 month old German Shepherd puppy bursting with personality and potential! With his big paws and even bigger heart, he's expected to grow into a large, strong adult (likely over 85 pounds).

New to his foster home, Moose is already housebroken, sleeping through the night in his crate, and working hard on his leash and crate training. He's eager to please, responding well to commands like sit, down, and come, and learns quickly with positive reinforcement.

This energetic, affectionate, and curious boy is full of puppy enthusiasm. He loves exploring the backyard, chewing on his favorite stuffed toys, and soaking up attention from his foster family

Nico PHS's Story:

Meet Nico, your new shadow and best friend!

Hi there! I'm a 6 month old German Shepherd mix with a big, fluffy, wavy coat and an even bigger heart. I'm still growing into these oversized paws and legs, but one thing's for sure: I'm a total love bug. If you're nearby, I want to be close (or at least within head-resting distance). They call me a Velcro dog, I just like being where my people are!

Now that I'm settling into my foster home, my personality is starting to shine. I'm still sweet and gentle, but I've also discovered how much fun toys can be! Crinkly, squeaky, plushy, I love them all. I'll chew a bone, carry my favorite stuffie around like a prize, and sometimes break into surprise zoomies just for the joy of it.

Spur's Story:

Meet Spur: Mr. go with the flow

Spur is a 2 year old, gentle soul, found as a stray and getting the chance to decompress in a foster home. We are finding that this handsome boy is as mellow as they come; he'd rather just hang out with his people and quietly be part of whatever you're doing. There is one exception; he will gladly play in the sprinklers with or without you!

Still adjusting to his new surroundings, Spur can be a little shy or skittish around new people but with a slow introduction he is as affectionate as they come. He did great with other dogs in shelter playgroups and was used to greet nervous or scared pups. He generally is good on a leash but showed slight aggression to small dogs while walking with his foster family. A meet and greet is a must if you have another dog.
