A truly uplifting update on Annie, formerly Esme, a shining example of unwavering resilience. She came to us from Oakland Animal Services, facing seemingly insurmountable challenges as a deaf and mostly blind pup. Despite our initial doubts, she held on to hope, awaiting a forever home, but unfortunately, many inquiries came with misguided intentions. Then Pamela arrived, and we knew she was the perfect match. Annie is now flourishing, surrounded by love, care, and devotion. Annie has a beautiful sister Daisy to help her navigate through life's obstacles. She adores snuggling up in blankets, a heartwarming reminder that even in adversity, joy can be found and cherished.

Piper, a ridiculously adorable 15-pound eight-year-old Chihuahua/Rat Terrier mix, is utterly obsessed with belly rubs, strolls, playful shenanigans, catching toys, and lounging in the sun like the ultimate yard boss. Socialized among a crew of small dogs, Piper's got a bit of a diva complex and prefers to be one of two or the solo canine companion, where she can reign supreme as the alpha dog. Don't even think about giving attention to her siblings, or Piper might just give you the stink-eye. But hey, she's a total rockstar in vehicles and on leashes, barking only occasionally, while serving as a fiercely loyal guard dog. Her foster caregiver is totally obsessed with Piper's cuddling skills - and honestly, who wouldn't be? Piper's also ridiculously smart, recognizing her name and demonstrating impressive recall skills. She's not picky about food and is basically a pro at using doggie doors and p*e pads.

Another update. Sanji, previously Thor. He was found with 11 other puppies in a Ike of trash. They were taped inside boxes. His adopters have given him such a wonderful life.

From his dad. “What a saga!! We got so lucky with him. He’s thriving and has a wonderful personality, such a great dog! He’s always right there with us and up for adventure. He’s pooped in 14 states 😅 we love the little rascal!!”

We are delighted to receive updates from adopters who have provided our rescues with permanent homes.

Sadie is a beautiful girl who survived Parvo. As a very young puppy, she came to us already ill. Her mother, Jennifer, who fostered her, eventually adopted her. We could not have asked for a better home for Sadie. We are confident that Sadie is loved and well cared for in her forever home.

From her mother, “Sadie, adopted in 2020, is a Parvo survivor and my best friend. She is exceptionally intelligent and knows numerous commands, including some I did not intentionally teach her. At 4.5 years old, she still enjoys having various items in her mouth, including cardboard, wood chips, rocks, packaging, and socks. She also remains unaware of the length of her legs and paws. We love her dearly.”

Please welcome Darby to our rescue shelter (Volunteer) reached out to us about a dog named Darby, who was currently in a foster home for the shelter and she asked us if we could potentially help Darby come into our rescue. Before we could find a foster the (Volunteer) reached out again and said that Darby was going to Muttville we thought fantastic they’re great Rescue. The next day we were contacted again by the same (Volunteer) who said there were actually two Darby‘s at the shelter and it was the other Darby, who was going to Muttville and they still needed a rescue to help with the Darby that was still at the Foster’s home. Darby had been with the foster for a month unfortunately the Foster was no longer going to be able to foster Darby and so that meant she would have to return to the shelter. The whole reason she went to a (Volunteer)’s home was because she wasn’t doing well at the shelter and now she was going to have to go back.

I posted Darby everywhere, hoping someone would volunteer to Foster. Finally one person said they could foster unfortunately after completing the application and speaking with her. It sounded like she had a lot of holiday plans and I felt Darby needed a home, however temporary, where somebody would be home more. Then one of our supporters reached out and said she could possibly foster Darby until the end of December and then another (Volunteer) said she could foster Darby. So one of our supporters and volunteers, Julie and her husband and their fur babies are allowing Darby to stay with them until she finds a home.

Susan, previous Foster, has nothing but good things to say about her.

”Hi Leti.

Darby is a friendly mellow girl who loves people. She is easy to leash and good on walks. Potty and crate trained. She has been professionally groomed with no problem. She has been very friendly with the foster's dog and cat and we think she would enjoy a doggy friend. She will need some time to decompress in her new home as life threw her a curveball when she landed at the shelter.”

Darby is an adorable Shih Tzu who is about 10 years old, she is spayed, vaccinated, and micro chipped. She will be going to our Veterinarian for a thorough check up. We understand that she has dry eye and cloudiness in one of her eyes. She also had some alopecia when she arrived to the shelter, which has been treated by the Foster, who has done a fantastic job.

If you are interested in meeting Darby, she is located in this Sacramento area. The adopter will need to be within an hour and a half of that area. Please complete our adoption application at www.gunter’slegacy.org/Adopt.

Right now, this is the only picture we have in Darby because she was investigating her new home and was a little difficult to take pictures of as she was moving. But we will provide more pictures soon.

Another fabulous update, folks. Kirby was literally born to be a star - she entered this world in our rescue on the same night we saved her mom from the shelter. Fast forward, Kirby got adopted and is now living her best life.

From her mom, here’s the one and only Miss Kirby. We've had the pleasure of her company for 4.5 years now. And the best part. She and our other adopted dog Bentley are thick as thieves and the bestest of buddies.

This incredible girl is Misha. She’s been waiting for a forever home, with no potential adopters. She’s extremely sweet, not a barker, housebroken, spayed, chipped, and vaccinated. Her fur is amazingly soft. She loves to be held. She loves people and gets along with other dogs and cats.

Hi everyone, this is an urgent request. We are in need of a new Foster for Oscar. He gets along with other dogs but can be picky and he takes a little time to warm up. He needs someone who can give him the attention he needs and is patient and can let him move at his own pace. If you can Foster, please let us know or fill out our application at www.gunter’slegacy.org/Foster. If you can’t Foster please do us a favor and share this post he is currently located in Napa. We would like to find a Foster either near Napa or in Sacramento or close to Claremont California. Thank you very much.

These two canine companions provide endless entertainment, effortlessly transitioning between playful taunts and affectionate gestures. Daisy, the blind black-and-white dog, occasionally becomes frightened by sudden movements, prompting her to growl, which can be upsetting for the other dogs. Nevertheless, she adeptly locates the p*e pad and revels in outdoor sunbathing. Due to her visual impairment, close supervision is necessary to prevent her from becoming disoriented. Daisy is quite vocal when her desires are not met. Her fascination with the feline residence often leads to calm, well-behaved interactions, but occasionally, the cats exploit her blindness, prompting frustration. Dewey, the white and tan dog, was surrendered to Front Street Animal Shelter along with two other dogs, who were quickly adopted. Despite initial difficulties, we have discovered that Dewey has some specific needs: he becomes agitated when hands approach his head, and he occasionally snaps. However, he adores belly rubs and will roll over, but it is essential to allow him to rise independently. Dewey has learned to relinquish his dominant tendencies, a process requiring patience and time. As a result, we believe Dewey is now prepared for a forever home. He delights in sunbathing, belly rubs, and companionship. Dewey has developed a strong affection for Daisy, who maintains a love-hate relationship with him. Despite this, Dewey has learned to understand and comfort Daisy, often lying beside her and gently licking her eyes and ears. While they are not bonded, they do not need to be adopted together. If you are interested in meeting one or both of these dogs, please submit our application at www.gunterslegacy.org/Adopt. They are currently residing in Southern California.

Isn't this a fantastic update from Toast's family? We also rescue cats. Toast, formerly Boss, has been placed in a wonderful home. We have been extremely fortunate in finding terrific forever homes for our rescues. They are truly loved.

Sometimes we have dogs that come into our rescue as a bonded pair and someone sees them and they instantly fall head over heels in love and cannot imagine living without them, and they are only with us for a brief time, maybe a day or two, maybe a week. So we don’t know what the future holds for Pipsqueak and Yoshi. Both are incredibly adorable and get along swimmingly with other dogs and cats and would be overjoyed to have a home of their own for Christmas. Pipsqueak is a little bit smaller than Yoshi, weighing in at 6 to 7 pounds, while Yoshi weighs 10 to 12 pounds. They are housebroken, neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, and we would be forever grateful to find them a home together. We know it’s a big ask, but both dogs are about 2 to 4 years old and are ready to bring immense joy to their forever home. Yes, Yoshi is missing an eye, but it doesn’t stop him from being the most incredible dog he can be. If you’re interested in meeting both of them, please complete our Adoption application at www.gunterslegacy.org/Adopt.

Isn't it incredible? Another update from a fantastic adopter. They adopted Paul from Gunter’s. Paul had been with us for at least two years. He was so gentle, shy and frightened and just broken. He had been severely abused by his previous owner. Yet, his forever family took him in and have given him the time that he needed to heal. He’s a fantastic little dog. We saw the potential in him when he came to us and we knew that somewhere in there hiding was just a dog waiting to show everybody how terrific he could be.

Here is Paul, enjoying a treat. He does a pretty good job with treats, even though he's missing quite a few toofies.

Hailey and Pic💕💕 Ellen is one of our fosters and we love her to the moon. She has helped us out so many times, fostering and transporting when we really needed it. She actually was fostering (Haley) and at some point she decided that (Haley) was already home. (Haley) is a tiny little girl who thinks that she is absolutely in charge of humans and dogs. She can be a bit of of a grump, but that’s what we love about her the most.

We love updates and we especially love getting pictures. Thank you to Ellen for always supporting us.

We’re flabbergasted. Is it the holiday chaos or everyone’s traveling that’s got Oscar flying under the radar? One thing’s for sure, this charming little dude deserves some serious love. 🐶🌭Oscar 🌭🐶 Everyone who lays eyes on Oscar can’t help but gush over his chiseled features and soulful p*epers. This 17-lb, 4-5 year old neutered male “Chiweenie” mix was picked up as a stray and spent a month in the shelter before making his way to GLAR. Initially, he was terrified in the shelter and took some time to warm up in his foster home. But once he shed his fears, his personality started shining brighter than a diamond. His foster discovered that while Oscar may not be thrilled about new people touching his head, he’s a total softie when it comes to chest and neck pets – and he’ll even guide your hand to his favorite spots. This little foodie is all about the snacks, and his love for grub makes him super receptive to learning new tricks. Oscar gets along swimmingly with other dogs, but he’s a bit of a diva and likes being the center of attention, so he might be happiest in a home without another furry friend. He’s untested around cats or kiddos. Men can be a bit intimidating for him at first, but with some patience, he’ll learn to love them too. Oscar sleeps like a rock in his crate, enjoys leisurely strolls on a leash, sprinting around the backyard, chow time, and plenty of snoozes. He’s a bit of a homebody and prefers to potty outside, but on rainy days, he’s happy to use a pad inside. As a recently neutered adult male, he still has some of that marking instinct, so his foster keeps a belly band on him for now. We’re on the hunt for a small, quiet household for Oscar. During his shelter stint, his head movements raised some eyebrows. After getting a clean bill of health, he paid a visit to UC Davis for a neurology consult. The vets think he might have a congenital issue that can’t be treated with meds, but that doesn’t mean he can’t live life to the fullest. He’s also got some impaired hearing in the lower ranges. When Oscar gets anxious or super excited, his quirks become more apparent, but overall, he’s a happy-go-lucky pup with tons of love to give. TL/DR: Neutered male | Dachshund x Chihuahua | 17 lbs | 4-5 years old | Microchipped | vaccinated

Hello everyone, we are really desperate to find a foster for this dog. It needs to leave the shelter. If you can help with fostering even for two weeks, please complete our application at www.gunterslegacy.org/Foster

We are not looking for a foster for the shelter. We are looking for a foster for our rescue. That’s what we do we rescue dogs. I keep getting inquiries about where the Dog is at and what shelter the shelter reached out to us to see if we could bring it into our Rescue that’s why we need a Foster because we are Foster based we can only take a dog if we have a foster

Urgent foster needed immediately. We were contacted to help this baby. If you can help foster even for just two weeks it would help. We’re told she’s very sweet. She has limited vision.

Hi Leti.

Darby is a friendly mellow girl who loves people. She is easy to leash and good on walks. Potty and crate trained. She has been professionally groomed with no problem. She has been very friendly with the foster's dog and cat and we think she would enjoy a doggy friend. She will need some time to decompress in her new home as life threw her a curveball when she landed at the shelter.
