01/28/25… STILL AVAILABLE with an opportunity to travel for meets… apply through the link listed within this post!

The Dogs of Del Norte Volunteer Transportation Team is headed up I-5 as far as Vancouver, WA this Saturday (2/01). Interested in meeting Scooby? There are a couple crates still available to add dogs.

Scooby is a 1-year-old mixed breed. 73% German Shepherd, 18.7% Boxer, & 8.3% Miniature Pinscher. 🤭
He is a little bit shy/nervous when meeting new people but relaxes pretty quickly. He is not comfortable in big crowds. He’d prefer to be at home with his people, chillin’ inside or out playing in the yard. He is a playful guy who loves to run and wrestle with his dog friends. He would enjoy having a canine playmate in the home. Scooby has met a cat and would do okay in a home with one, with proper introduction.
He weighs approximately 60 pounds. He is up to date on vaccines, flea treatment, and dewormer. He's neutered and microchipped.
Scooby knows sit, stay, let's go, wait, leave it, come, and more!
We are taking applications now! Let’s find Scooby the home he’s dreaming of…

The Dogs of Del Norte Volunteer Transportation Team is headed up I-5 as far as Vancouver, WA this Saturday (2/01). Interested in meeting Hercules? There are a couple crates still available to add dogs.

Let’s get Hercules a home! Currently in Crescent City, Ca. He has an opportunity to catch a ride with Dogs of Del Norte Adoption Coordinator A’Lissa as she travels up north into Oregon via Hwy 199 and I5 North next weekend! Would you like to meet him? Read his info below…. Fill out the online application.

This big handsome boy is back & hoping to find his perfect match! His adopters absolutely loved him, but I’m told that he wasn’t comfortable with one of the family members in the home and that he was too curious about the cat. Without actually being there to see his behavior, I can’t explain it. He’s been great with everyone he’s met on all of his adventures before and after. We will be sure that he meets everyone in the new home prior to adoption this time. He also passed his cat test prior to adoption but might do better in a home with no cats.

This one-year-old mixed breed has been known to melt hearts!

Hercules is a big, goofy, playful guy. He's great with other dogs. His play style can get a bit rough and vocal. This boy is ALWAYS happy and loves to cuddle with his humans. He likes a good game of fetch, enjoys running and wrestling with his pup friends, and settles down nicely after play.

He graduated from training class and has done a fantastic job learning and showing off his skills. He knows sit, stay, down, leave it, come, shake, let's go, wait, and more!

He is 68 lbs., up to date on vaccines, flea treatment, and dewormer. He's neutered and microchipped.

He is available for adoption, and we are taking applications now!

Scooby & Hercules ~ Available for adoption!

UPDATE…a new date has been added!

Hey guys… Scooby here with some fantastic news! The super nice adoption coordinator for the Dogs of Del Norte has offered to give my buddy Hercules and I a short furlough from Pelican Bay State Prison if anyone is interested in adoption and would like to meet us!!!
The trip will leave Crescent City crazy early on Sunday (12/08), headed up I5 North through Oregon and parts of Washington.
Check out my bio on this page…look for Hercules too!
If interested in meeting us, reach out on messenger and our pack mother will arrange it! The online adoption form is pinned to the top of our page. Get those applications in soon and one of these really great dogs could be your new family member!
Please let us know asap, as it takes some work to set up our furlough and secure our spot on the transport. 🐾💙😊💙🐾

Note: We are still in training, but can go to our new homes shortly after our 12/12 graduation!

On this day in 2021, Prison Paws Partnership was launched!

Thanks so much to our followers, supporters, sponsors, adopters, PBSP staff members, PBSP staff sponsor, volunteers, and dog handlers!
The first three years have been a pleasure, and we look forward to many more years to come!

We apologize... We attempted a second time to get handler/dog photos in front of the beautiful wall murals.... When the photos were being downloaded for us, it was discovered that the camera malfunctioned and ALL photos were blurry and unusable! ☹️
We will try again on Monday!
