Like her namesake from Peter Pan, Nana is the picture of loyalty and love. This sweet senior has a gentle, caretaker's heart. She bonds deeply with her people and will happily be your steady, loving shadow.

Nana would prefer to join a home with stability and predictability. She can be a bit confused by new people entering the home. She is hoping for a patient, understanding home that will give her comfort, routine, and reassurance when she needs it. In return, she'll give you unconditional love and a calm, devoted companionship that only a senior dog can offer.

Independent as well as affectionate, Nana is just as content to nap on the porch or lounge in the yard as she is to enjoy a car ride or a slow stroll. She walks beautifully on leash and loves to take in the world at her own pace.

Sweet Nana joined us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services after she was found as a stray.

Nana is currently in the arms of a loving foster but unfortunately, they are not able to foster her long-term. She's searching for another loving landing spot to call her own. Are you interested in giving Nana a safe place to land while she finds her forever home? If so, please reach out today!

Betty Spaghetty is a sweet young girl with a heart as big as they come. She landed at the shelter after a very rough start, arriving severely matted with painful foxtails tangled in her coat and injuries to both of her eyes.

Despite everything she's been through, Betty's spirit shines. She's affectionate, eager to please, and loves soft beds, kind voices, and little moments of attention. This curly cutie is still young and ready to learn, and she'll thrive with a patient family who can continue her grooming routine and give her the comfort she's been missing.

Chewy is a shy guy who has a darling personality once he is comfortable. He is good with other dogs, rides nicely in the car and has an adorable little face! He likes to follow his people around the home and loves to be held and snuggled. He will give kisses in return.

This little cutie is not used to walking on leash yet. He needs to build confidence with a person and then practice leash walking, perhaps with a tasty treat. Thankfully, this guy will crawl right into your arms and is very content being carried!

Chewy is still uncertain in new situations, so a quiet, patient, adult-only home would be best for him. A consistent routine will help him settle. If you have other dogs to show him the ropes, that would probably suit him well.

Chewy came to us from the SPCA for Monterey County back in 2021. He was adopted into a loving home and part of an amazing family for many years but recently returned to us due to his guardian's declining health.

Chewy is looking for a patient and loving foster home. He is currently boarding at our vet clinic but would love to join a loving home soon.

Meet Miss Marley, the bravest little heart you'll ever love. Marley is a soft spirit with a story that shows just how resilient dogs can be. When she first arrived at the shelter, her nails were so overgrown they curled into her feet, a sign that she hadn't known proper care or comfort for far too long. It's believed she experienced some trauma or neglect in her past, and she carries a bit of understandable caution because of it. Despite all of this, Marley has blossomed and continues to do so.

Once she realizes she's safe, her whole face lights up, and she greets you with full body wiggles. She just asks for a little warm-up time and a kind, patient heart to help her feel secure. In return, she offers gentle companionship, quiet loyalty, and the sweetest little snuggles. Marley would prefer to be the only apple of someone's eye and may do best in an adult only home (or a home with patient and understanding older kids).

Marley joined us from Santa Cruz County Animal Services. She was adopted from there as a younger dog and surrendered back recently in concerning condition. Due to her age and clear traumas, they felt she would do best in the loving arms of a foster home while she waits for her forever family.

Miss Marley is in a loving foster home but she will need to move soon. If you have a quiet home where Marley can warm up to you in time, please reach out today!

An experienced foster who is comfortable working through anxiety related behaviors and providing consistent routines will help him be successful. Support and guidance will be provided, he just needs the right environment to thrive.

If you have the time, space, and heart to help a dog who needs a little extra support, this could be an incredibly rewarding foster experience.

Now in her golden years, Spork has perfected the art of napping, people watching, and politely judging other dogs' fashion choices from her cozy bed. Don't let her age fool you -- she's got plenty of pep in her step when it's time for a walk or a snack run! Spork's ideal day includes a leisurely stroll through the yard, a soft blanket in her bed, and a human who will exclaim that she is 'the cutest thing ever' at least five times a day (non-negotiable).

Looking for that special someone who makes you feel like you're the most wonderful being on the planet, warms your heart, and keeps you laughing? Let us introduce you to Newt-ie-Tootie (or as his foster calls him, Pete Davidson!) When out meeting and greeting his fans on walks, Newt is constantly swooned over and called "the sweetest dog". However, you'll want to be sure to keep a good hold of the leash in case a squirrel or bird or leaf blows by as Newt's enthusiasm for a good chase and good fun knows no bounds. If you've watched episodes of "Saturday Night Live" showcasing our dear friend, Pete Davidson, rap, well, Newt can bust out some pretty rockin' tunes, too. However, Newt does his soulful renditions of love songs when you are away. Car ride? Visit to the feed store to load up on more snacks? You bet - Newt is your guy! This guy figured out that it's the simple pleasures that bring joy: several walkies a day, lots of "together time", and relaxing moments lounging in the yard in a sunny spot.

While Newt did come to us with some hair loss, medicated baths, good food, allergy meds, and fish oil supplements are doing wonders for his coat and skin. We can't wait to see his continue to blossom in his new furever home. Apply to adopt Newt today!

Sweet Wilson joined us from Contra Costa Animal Services after his homeless guardians came to realize they could not provide Wilson with the care he needed in his advancing age.

Wilson is a senior dog with a heart as golden as his years. Unfortunately, his severe mobility difficulties paired with numerous other medical factors including cushings, IVDD, vision loss, and some doggie dementia, we have decided that Wilson should join our hospice group. He will live out his days under the attentive care of our vet team soaking in as much love as possible.

Wilson is currently in a loving foster home but needs a temporary foster while his regular foster is away. Wilson has some considerable mobility challenges and does require a helping hand to get up at times. Wilson is currently using a 4-wheel wheelchair and will need a temporary foster who can lift him in and out of it. He is searching for a temporary foster who is home most of the day as he requires a fair bit of support.
