Scared dog at Stanislaus
Here is a video of the shutdown Aussie mix at the Stanislaus shelter. Thanks to everyone who donated, we sent an email plea to rescue him via one of the shelter volunteers/networkers who is going to adopt on behalf of the rescue so that he gets neutered at the shelter and can just be on a straight road to recovery once he leaves the shelter. He will be coming to Chico and going into a foster home once our email plea is accepted and he is neutered. He has a long road before he is going to be considered adoptable! THANK YOU for your support and donations. You all made it happen for this dog!
Panda is available for adoption!
Panda is great with kids and gentle taking food/treats! He is looking for his forever home and he’d be a great addition to a family with children. *reminder to only let your children interact with dogs when being supervised, no matter how friendly the dog is*
Babysitter needed!
I am looking for a babysitter for Katie in Chico from Nov. 9- Nov. 12 (Thursday evening through Sunday evening) Please message me if you are interested.
Former breeding dog update
Aww!! The mama breeding dog we took in a few weeks ago is showing so much improvement! At first she was resource guarding her toys and food, and she’s still protective of her things but now she’s playing with the other dogs and she seems so happy!!! She also does excellent on walks and is very confident!
Would anyone in Chico or nearby surrounding areas be willing to foster the tan and white pittie? He is clearly friendly with other dogs!
New rescue!
I guess #1761239 really is “Lucky” which is his shelter name!!! He was supposed to be killed yesterday, but he made it through the night and we rescued him before the shelter opened this morning. He is on his way from the Riverside shelter to Chico where his foster will pick him up.
Petey
I wanted to post a slight brag on Petey. I’ve been fostering him since July. The first three weeks I had him I wanted to give him away for free. He drove me absolutely nuts and was extremely anxious and wild. While he occasionally still exhibits high anxiety, for the most part he is EXTREMELY sweet, docile, cuddly, and wants to please. I really tested myself and have been working with him using structure, discipline, and routine. He is an amazing dog that is very special. I am thankful that my position as a Rescue Director did not allow me to give up on him. I wanted to. He had me in tears multiple times. I think if he had been adopted straight from the shelter, he would’ve been returned almost immediately. It’s not acceptable for a rescue to give up on a dog or return them, so I knew that wasn’t an option for me. I think if more people had this mindset there would be a lot less dogs in shelters. It’s truly the only mindset that is acceptable because dogs are living beings and they are not disposable when they aren’t convenient. I’ve had him for about 4 months and he’s finally settled in and feeling safe. Some dogs just take this long!!
Foster needed!
Hi everyone, I have tagged the gray pitbull in this video to be rescued from the shelter He’s at. I asked them to test him with a small dog, and I love the little dog they have him in the yard with. Would anyone like to foster her so I can take both of them? I love the white dog too, but she already has a Rescue lined up to take her!
Aww! A video of Aspen (red female) in her foster home. Her foster brother Jimmy is being so sweet to her 🥰 For more information on adoptable Aspen: https://www.facebook.com/100049166961845/posts/853518732963684/?mibextid=I6gGtw
Available for adoption: Petey has such an incredible soft side. He is gentle, kind, and loving. His anxiety can be overwhelming for him sometimes but this is who he really is and who he wants to be. Exercise, patience, CBD oil, and most importantly TIME has allowed me to see this side of him. The right adopter will find themselves madly in love and will be patient with his quirks.
I have an opportunity to get paid by Facebook for Reels so you’ll be seeing a lot more on here! When they pay me it will be used for the rescue doggies 🫶 Here is Kahuna, rescued from Stanislaus Animal Services Agency playing with my blind & deaf foster puppy last year. This one got 383,000 views on Instagram 😳
Retriever pup
We were at Look Ahead Vet this morning dropping Hendrix off to get neutered, and the retriever pup from the Riverside shelter who does not have a name yet, got his heartworm test… let’s hope it comes back negative 👍
Freedom!
My friend Ashley just picked up the retriever puppy from the Riverside shelter for me! He’s free! He is getting transported to Chico on Sept 3. If you pledged towards his rescue on my other post, please honor your pledges and let me know when you do! 🤓
Sye- 5 year old neutered doggy looking for the right home.
Sye has been doing a board & train program at Ridgeside k9 for 3 weeks after his owner was sent to prison. He has a sad story and I was asked to help find him a permanent home. Sye is a good dog and well behaved 99% of the time. The owner of Ridgeside really likes Sye. I met him and I really like him too. He deserves the right home. First of all, as you can see in this video he has been doing wonderful at training camp. With the right owner, he can thrive. If you adopt him it will also come with a follow up session from Ridgeside so they can teach you what they’ve taught Sye. Sye was originally a homeless persons dog, then landed in the hands of his most recent owner who had mental health issues as well as drug addiction issues. The combination made for a chaotic, confusing home environment for Sye. Because of this, Sye does not like when humans get dominant with him. He will react occasionally when there is a lot of stimulus going on because he had to learn to defend himself when his human was not in their right mind. Sye really needs someone. He needs a home with no kids even though he’s been around kids, it’s not best for him. He’s okay around other dogs but the best home for him would be him as the only pet. Mellow, no chaos. If there is ANYONE out there that would give this boy a chance, please message me.
Donations needed.
Remember this puppy with kennel cough I posted the other day? I can have someone get this guy for me today but I need pledges to cover the costs associated with rescuing another dog: food, crate, vet visits, etc. Ways to help: ✅ Venmo: OliversDogRescue (last four of phone # is 4061) ✅ PayPal: [email protected] ✅ Mail a check (ask for address) ✅ Foster a dog for us! All donations are tax deductible.
The Stockton shelter staff reached out to me and asked for help with this Border Collie because they are over capacity and scared dogs have a hard time making it out alive. I’m pleased to announce that shortly after I put out a foster plea for this dog, one of my previous fosters came through and the shelter arranged transportation to Chico, and he should be here any minute!

Little Aspen is coming along. She’s still very shy/wary. She is friendly with other dogs but she doesn’t participate in play with them and has bonded more with her foster than with the other dogs in the home. She ignores the cats in her foster home. For this reason, we think Aspen would do fine as an only dog. Normally we require another dog in the home to adopt the scared Aussies, so if you were interested in the others but didn’t get approved because you didn’t have another dog, this is your chance! Aspen is a 5 year old very small mini Aussie. She is now fully vetted- spayed, microchipped, DHLPP, Rabies, Bordetella, 1 year heartworm prevention injection, 3 month Bravecto, and blood panel complete. Message for an application.
