"Here's my best Tuesday smile."

Welcome 1+year-old Tatum to our rescue. Her people realized that she needed more time and attention than they could give.

This fluffy Cockapoo/Bichon Frise, abounding with puppy energy and fun, finds friends wherever she travels. She'll happily join you on a walk, and you'll notice immediately her whole-hearted people greetings.

Tatum is potty trained and needs someone who's home most of the time. She's hoping to be the merry and bright in a forever home soon.

Here's more information about Tatum:

Welcome, two-month-old Gurtie!

Would you just love to foster Gurtie while she experiences some firsts?

☆exploring a new environment

☆hearing a storm

She's a gorgeous Merle Cocker puppy, curious, lovable, (Do we need to say playful?:) and in serious need of love, socialization and a foster home.

Gurtie has had her first set of puppy shots and is working on her potty skills.

Seven-year-old Lucy was the sweet Halloween treat. This beautiful girl, found stranded on a roadside and rescued by a Good Samaritan, shares her gentle-hearted and endearing personality with everyone.

Miss Social wanted to pop in to say,
"Happy Saturday."

Lucy has Cushings, which is managed by medication, and is hoping for a forever home 🏡 soon.

Here's an adoption application:

Surprise, Surprise!
We have puppies, and we have names.

Welcome, Rory, Simon, Bradley and Daisy. You're the cutest Cavalier King Charles spaniels (3 males, 1 female), and we're so excited you're here.

Rosie, the mother, had been adopted but during an exam to be spayed, she was found to be pregnant!

We are thrilled to be sharing the latest puppy news with you. We'll let you know when they might be ready for adoption.

Ruby, a shining star, and her canine buddies, Max and Morgan, were given to a friend because their person could no longer care for them. All three were adopted this year!

Here's an update on Ruby who glistens with her sweetness:

"She's all heart all love and the sweetest girl. Really she is perfect and so loved. She really is the perfect dog for us."

Thank you, family, for the photo and update.

Halloween's coming soon.

The season of ghosts, skeletons and disguises is filled with spooky fun and is the second most common time for missing pets. Hope your fur buddy has updated readable tags, young friends who smile not scare, and candy out-of-reach.

Have a safe and enjoyable Halloween, everyone.

Thank you, Jennie, for the adorable photo and Abby for your message.

Part 2

"Sully is quite possibly the best dog ever. His only flaw is that he has no sense of personal space 😂"

10/25/2024

Part One

Sully (front) and Luna bounce with enthusiasm sharing their smiles and laughs with their forever family.

Wanna hear the latest news?

"It's funny you should ask about Sully and Luna. They are right in front of me like they usually are. 😀. I had to lean back in order to take this picture of Sully because he's usually right in my face. I love him. These guys are awesome and we are so appreciative of all of your efforts to get us connected."

They were adopted earlier this year by Jeff, Elizabeth and their three teenagers.
So much love.

Trooper's cuddled in cozy while he can still watch what's happening with Nikki.

Trooper's beginning was rather rough, however, Nikki has wonderfully changed his world.

Thank you, Nikki, for loving and caring for him and for the adorable photo.

Check out another Trooper pic in the comment section.

Happy Sunday with a sweet Leo update:

"Leo is doing great here, lots of love to go around! Even my husband likes him enough to let him sleep on the bed with us. Haha. He's such a good boy, it's hard to think that someone would let him go. It must have been a tough decision for them."

"He takes the kids to school every morning with me, and when it's not roasting hot we take daytime walks. He's been to baseball tournaments and has done great! My son is a great dog-owner, and sometimes is more like a litter mate than a dog-parent!"...

Thank you family for giving Leo a great second chance and wonderful life!

Three family photos are posted in the comments' section. Cute!

Hey, Tucker and Rocky, do you have anything to say to Janet? We're writing an update:

"Tucker (formerly Theo) is doing great. He’s a sweetheart that is full of energy, loves his walks, playing with toys, and stealing Rocky’s toy too!

We love him 💖 Thanks for checking in."

Thank you, Robin and Ed, for the update and giving Tucker a wonderful forever home.

(Tucker's on the left and was adopted earlier this year.)

Recently adopted Teddy prances around the room to entertain his family. Then, shares his big smile (maybe after a treat?).

A cute photo of Butters and Teddy snuggling is in the comment section. They're siblings and adopted NorCal Cocker Rescues.

Thank you, family, for giving them a loving forever home.

Two-year-old Minnie (left) was adopted in the springtime, a perfect time to pair with all of Minnie's puppiness. She's sitting calmly, but quicker than a wink, she'll be bursting with energy.

Thank you, Alicia, for your update:

"Thanks for checking in!!! She is doing great! We love her so much and her and Remy are finally buddies.

I have been on several work trips and I have a pet sitter that stays at the house and Minnie has done very well.

She is still working on socialization and lunges at people and does not warm up to other dogs very well. Baby steps.

She is not barking crazy at people and dogs like she did. We walk every day and work on training and play ball for hours!!!!

My kids live out of state and miss her so much. She is so funny and loving!!

Hope you are doing well :)"

We're celebrating early because Maddie has a pending adoption. Yay!

After giving birth to three litters, eight-year-old Maddie was posted on Craigslist as a giveaway. One of our previous adopters intercepted and saved her.

Celebrating this lovable dog will continue til adoption day and beyond. A very happy second chance life to you, sweet Maddie.

Wally entered our rescue earlier this year, and this little guy is so cute, you may need to look twice!

Wally found his loving forever home rather quickly.

Thank you, Jason, for your update and care for Wally:

"Things are going wonderfully with Wally. He and Sadie are very bonded. He is completely house broken and he is up on all his shots and has no health problems. They were just at the groomers yesterday; the folks at KJ Paws all say he is a very good boy. He is still a bit leash aggressive and I’m working on that with him. He is very sociable and has lots of friends in the neighborhood, just not canine ones. He also is not very fond of cats I found out."

Thank you with a Lucy smile!

To the donor who sent canned dog food and fish oil.

And...to Christina N. who donated a Chewy gift certificate. Lucy just may find some favorite treats.

We're grateful for your thoughtful contributions. Our rescue dogs send their tail wagging, wide-eyed thank you.
Seven-year-old Lucy's personality is as delightful as her smile. She'd love to happily greet you each morning while you're brewing coffee or munching on a muffin.

Ten-year-old Philbert who's super sweet and is friendly with the whole world (almost) has been adopted by David and Kathy.

Philbert has found some best friends besides a loving forever home.

Kathy wrote:

"Philbert has fallen in love with Dave!😀 if David leaves the room, Philbert waits at the door for him! He is a love!💕 and he and Daisy, our 15 yr-old chihuahua get along very well! He is a perfect fit for our family. Thank you!"

Shhh...are you able to keep a secret? Ravishing Rosie has an adoption which will be a surprise.

She was a Craigslist purchase, but the owner could no longer care for her.

Five-year-old Rosie is sweeter than your favorite cookie and will be an amazing family member.

Her adoptive family has been patiently waiting, and they're sure she is the one.

Tail wags and big smiles await for Rosie's adoption day.

Rest in peace, sweet Buddy Buster.

A few weeks ago, Buster entered our rescue severely neglected with liver values extremely over the normal range. Joann was relentless, offering him all kinds of different dog food in his bowl, bone broth, liver supplements and attempting everything possible to help him physically. Each morning, Joann transported Buster to the veterinarian for fluids. Unfortunately, his liver just could not recover.

Though Buster was too weak physically, he continued to be spirited, happily wagging his tail to eagerly greet Joann.

Buster's time with us was brief, but Joann surrounded his world with immense love and care. He knew he was cherished.

Thank you, Joann, for your unconditional compassion. May your heart be comforted.

With our love💙

Pausing my wandering to be sure to thank Michaeline, Diane and Lisa for raising almost $1800 from the last two craft fair events! Yikes, during the heat too.

Thank you for your dedication to the rescue and helping all of my floppy-eared buddies.🐾🐾

A wonderful Wednesday welcome to Lucy!

Can you believe this little cutie was found stranded on the side of a Sacramento road?

A Good Samaritan is caring for her until this seven-year-old finds her forever home. Lucy's been seen by a veterinarian, and her skin and ears are currently being treated for infections.

This precious one is a little straggly, however, from head to paws Lucy is as delightful as a morning sunrise.

She's enjoying her cozy bed, meals and love while sharing her smiles and cooperative disposition with her foster mom.

If you'd like to include Lucy as your forever family member, please check out our adoption process and complete an application. Here's a link:

(Lucy is not currently on our website and will be groomed very soon.🐾🐾)

Wonderful news today!

Pree, Amy, and their dog, Frank, opened their hearts and home to literally save Sunny's life with a foster home.

Sunny, who's diabetic, had been in a dire situation scheduled to be euthanized and urgently needed a new home. This beautiful couple is now loving Sunny and helping him adjust to his surroundings.

Thanks to Richard, Punkrockpetsitter, who shared Sunny's story on social media, he's beyond thrilled Sunny's still here.

Janet, our rockstar adoption coordinator, facilitated the entire complicated process and is continuing to help with the adjustment for Sunny in his new foster home. Just amazing. Thank you, Janet.
