Cricket is an amazing pup brimming with character. Born in May 2022, she was born with a severe cleft palate so she was tube fed until she could move to solids. The cleft is still present and she is able to eat and drink normally but she does have a tendency to sneeze more than your average dog. Cricket is spayed, up-to-date on vaccinations, and crate trained; she does need to work on house training. She is extremely athletic and strong so she would likely excel at agility or fly ball. A DNA work up was done and she is nearly half English Bulldog along with a big mix of bulldog and bull terrier breeds. It also indicated she would likely be prone to kidney stones, though she shows no symptoms, after some blood work it was recommended she start now on a prescription kidney food diet. This does mean she requires a slightly more expensive prescription diet. She is incredibly affectionate and loves attention. She would thrive as the sole attention of her owner. While she currently lives with other dogs, she likes to be in charge and has no problem letting other dogs know but does like to play. She occasionally can get over stimulated or frustrated but can easily be redirected as she's eager to please. This past Spring Cricket participated in the Unchained Program where she attended classes twice a week for a number of weeks while high school students learned from experienced trainers how to train dogs. She did exceptionally well and was very loved by staff and students alike.

If you are interested in meeting the fabulous Cricket Bug (her full, oddly longer nickname), please reach out to Dawn at [email protected].

Sweet Obi is a 7-year-old terrier mix, about 14 lbs. Obi is mostly a homebody. Mellow and quiet, he loves cozying up in blankets all day and enjoys snuggles and cuddles. Once he forms a connection, he becomes very lovey-dovey. Short walks or hikes in quiet areas are his favorite, especially when he gets to sniff everything at his own pace. He doesn't need much exercise and isn't a high-energy dog, so working from home with him close by is easy and distraction-free.

Food is a huge motivator for him. He's the kind of dog who won't refuse a meal, even when he's not feeling well. Kongs and rodent-shaped stuffed animals are his favorite toys. He knows all the main commands (sit, jump, come, wait, stay, relax, crate, etc.) and is fully house-trained. Although he has separation anxiety and can be protective of his parents, he's also been incredibly brave and smart, making real progress in facing his fears. He deserves the chance to keep healing and building confidence.

Meet Nimi, a petite 18 lb Jack Russell/terrier mix with a big heart and an even bigger love for her people. Around 6 years old, this spayed girl is the perfect blend of playful and cozy.

She adores people (kids included!), greets visitors happily, and makes a truly wonderful, loyal companion.

Nimi gets along well with larger dogs and can adjust to other dogs in the home with time, but she prefers her personal space on walks, especially around smaller dogs, so a confident handler and leash management are important. She would do best in a cat free home, as she may chase.

If you would like to hear more about Nimi please reach out to Octavia at 831-236-2775 or [email protected].

Pesto is super smart, like freaky smart! She is very sweet with other people, even most strangers. She is also very athletic. Pesto has high energy but knows how to lay down and stay calm, letting her energy out in bursts. She is stubborn because she's smart, but she still follows basic commands. She likes chewing on Nyla bones the most. Most of her life she has been able to roam around the (fenced) backyard while her owners have been away at work, but she's unfortunately really good at escaping so now she has to stay indoors when unattended. She sometimes comes to the office and she does very well with that. She simply likes to run. Pesto has not been aggressive with other dogs until recently, but her current guardian can no longer trust that she could live with other dogs. Another dog-savy person might be able to properly introduce her to new pups. She used to do well with cats but now her prey-drive has taken over and her guardian does not recommend she live with cats. She has been around children occasionally and has seemed un-phased but has not spent extensive time with them. She would do best with room to roam around and feel like she's free and independent. House/crate/leash trained, knows basic commands. She does have separation anxiety but it comes and goes in waves. Pesto did months of group-training when she was first adopted and learned really quickly. House/crate//eash trained, knows basic commands. She does have separation anxiety but it comes and goes in waves. Pesto did months of group-training when she was first adopted and learned really quickly. She had manageable quirks at first, but her behavior has been increasingly aggressive. This is likely because of a major shift in the household dynamic (went from 2 dogs 3 cats and 2 owners to no cats, divorced owners, and lived with my parents for 7 months during that time), and increasing tension between her and the other dog. Pesto is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccines.

If you would like more information on Pesto, please contact Megan at [email protected].

Meet Blue a big, handsome Belgian Malinois mix with an even bigger heart. At 8 years young and 95 pounds of love, Blue is a goofy, affectionate gentleman who has been with his family nearly his entire life. He knows his basic commands, is friendly with people, and is happiest when he is playing, soaking up affection, or lounging on his bed nearby. Out in public, Blue tends to mind his own business but will politely sniff hello, and guests in the home are always met with a friendly welcome. He is best described as a sweet, cuddly soul who just wants to be close to his people.

Blue would thrive in an adult only home that understands his size, strength, and sensitive side. He gets excited around other dogs and simply doesn't realize how big he is, so he is best as an only dog or with sturdy, well matched canine companions and not a fit for small dogs or young kids. Loud noises like fireworks can make him anxious, and he would do best in a calmer environment where someone can be home to help him feel safe when the world gets noisy. Blue is not fully house or crate trained but has never had an accident indoors and is not destructive (though he may sneak a peek at counters if you are not looking!). With patience, structure, and love, Blue will make a deeply loyal, affectionate companion for the right home one ready to give this wonderful boy the stability and understanding he deserves.

If you would like to hear more about Blue please reach out to Carlos at [email protected] or by call/text at 831-359-9122.

Bellatrix is a 4 year old Staffordshire Bull Terrier mix with a big heart and an even bigger love for other dogs. Weighing in at about 160lbs, this spayed girl is sweet, gentle, and truly shines in the company of canine friends. Bella is the kind of dog who feels most confident, playful, and fulfilled when she is part of a multi dog household. She absolutely loves other dogs and would thrive with dog buddies to play and socialize with.

Bella is house trained, walks nicely on leash (especially when she has had enough exercise), and knows her basic commands. She is not much of a toy enthusiast and doesnt quite know how to play with people, but offer her a treat and you will have her attention right away. With humans, she is more independent and easygoing, happy to coexist rather than demand constant interaction, while with dogs her energy and joy really come alive.

In the home, Bella is well mannered and calm. She sleeps soundly in her own bed at the foot of the bed, does not use a crate, and is perfectly fine being left alone during the day (she mostly just naps). She may bark briefly when new people come into the house, but she is not jumpy or aggressive, and she has no history of biting or resource guarding. Around children she is curious and sometimes a bit excitable, so supervision and gentle boundaries are recommended.

If you'd like to hear more about Belatrix please reach out to Jennifer at [email protected] or call/text 831-202-2189
