Our rescue needs your help! We spay and neuter over 30 dogs and cats at a time to help control the pet population We're in urgent need of donations to pay for these services. After spaying/neutering homeless animals, we sometimes need to keep them for recovery for at least 2 weeks. We’re running out of funding to keep these clinics going. Please consider donating to our small rescue. Every donation makes a huge difference in the lives of these animals. Thank you for your support! 🐾💓🐾💓

Space is limited, so reach out ASAP for more information.

Hello everyone! My name is Princess, and I am a very special dog looking for my furever home. My foster mom thinks I'm about 3-4 years old. I am affectionate, gentle, playful, smart, and sweet. I am a very loyal dog and I love to be with my family. I was living as a stray dog roaming the streets and railyard field in Stockton where I had several litters of puppies. I was with a pack of dogs who have all found their furever homes. I am so happy for them but I'm hoping that I can find my perfect family soon. I am very good at making new furry friends but I can be shy when it comes to meeting new humans since I've been mistreated by them. My foster is unsure if I get along with cats. I love attention and I am very easy to love. I am also very good on walks and I am housebroken! I am always up for adventure and I love to learn new things. I am a active dog and I would be perfect for someone who likes to be active outdoors, but I also love to cuddle up on the couch. I cannot wait to meet you, and maybe you can be my furever home!
If you'd like to know more about me, you can reach out to my foster by emailing [email protected] or sending a text to 209-298-2433.

Attention, emotionally stable(ish) humans: We have five (yes, FIVE) 6-week-old Labrador mix puppies who are about to ruin your life in the most adorable way possible.
🍼 Current lineup:
3 Boys – full of beans, drama, and zero self-awareness.
2 Girls – sweet-faced chaos agents with resting cute face and criminal intent.
Humans with patience, a mop, and a sense of humor.
People who won’t “return to sender” when the cuteness turns feral at 2 a.m.
🚫 NOT ACCEPTING:
Anyone who thinks dogs "shouldn't be on the furniture" (they are the furniture now).
People who say “we’re just looking” (this isn’t a car dealership, Karen).
📩 DM if you’re ready to commit to 10+ years of unconditional love, slobbery kisses, and the occasional destroyed shoe. SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY — these pups aren’t here to play (actually, they are, but you get it).
All of our animals are fixed (as long as they are old enough), microchipped, dewormed, up-to-date on vaccines, flea & tick treated, and any pre-existing medical issues have been addressed

Meet Tyson! He's a fawn and white AKC registered Bulldog! His pedigree is only outmatched by his charming personality. Tyson is 4 and is 70-75 lbs. He is friendly, playful, smart, funny, and curious. He loves food and is very food-motivated.
He has everything packed for when he finds his new home, including a kennel, bed, toys, collar/leash, food, allergy meds, and all paperwork showing AKC registration and veterinary care. Current parents rescued him but unexpectedly found their Down Syndrome child doesn’t do well with him. Tyson is up-to-date on all vaccinations, neutered, housebroken, kennel trained, good with the other dogs he meets but has had no interaction with cats or other children. He is allergic so he has to be on a special diet and takes an allergy pill every day, which is keeping his skin clear.
Apply to adopt him or please share to help him find his forever family!
