Hey! Wassup? My name is Zeke and I'm looking for a new home! Yay! I love people WHATWASTHAT?! Oh, sorry, I was saying that my old owner was moving to a place that doesn't allow pit bull types and even though I'm a mixed breed and SQUIRRELSQUIRRELSQUIRELL! and, and, and, even though I totally don't look like a pitbull, she didn't want to take any chances in that discriminatory place. So, ya. Now I'm here and I need a new best friend. I love you! I mean, ya, I love everyone. I get little distracted sometimes. Sorry!

Capone has quite the personality! He is very goofy and fun to be around. He never takes anything too seriously. We included some behind the scenes photos from a recent shoot that he did while we wait for the originals. We think he may have modeling potential!

Rhonda and her best buddy Sylvester are the final two dogs for adoption that were rescued from a hoarding situation last fall. These two share such a special bond that we would love to see them find a home together and their adoption fee is therefore two for one. Their favorite part of the day is our doggie playgroups where they get to romp around with the others, but it's clear that they are each others' favorite play buddies. After a good run around the yard we usually find them passed out contentedly sleeping with their heads rested on top of one another in the sun. Rhonda is the more confident of the two, but you'll see in the attached video that Sylvester has lots of kisses for his favorite people!
We would love to show this special pair to you. To learn more or arrange a time to meet, please call us at 805-964-4777 or email us at [email protected] You may also contact us about these two at 805-500-3284 or [email protected]

3 year old Haylee has become a favorite here what with her silly ears and kisses that she saves for the staff and volunteers. In doggie playgroups she engages with the other large and small dogs now and then and is content to do her own thing too and just lay in the sun. Because Haley has been patiently waiting for a home longer than most we are seeking a foster or forever home for her. If you have a quiet home and are interested in learning more please call us at 805-964-4777 or 805-500-3284, or email us at [email protected] or [email protected].
