ELLIE UPDATE Look at our 13-year-old girl (gray) playing with her brother Prince in her foster-to-adopt home!!!! Can you believe how happy she is and how much spunk she has?! THIS IS WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT!! Nothing brings our team more joy than seeing our pups in loving homes!!!

Paloma's Days Out Foster Needed! This pretty girl is as sweet as they come! She has some medical issues with her ears from prior neglect, so she's looking for a family to take her in while she heals and until she finds a forever family!... Although she can be a bit shy upon first meeting, when she warms up she is a true love bug!! She had an amazing time out of the shelter for her Dog Days Out. Check out what her volunteers had to say: "Paloma was a perfect angel. She was very shy at first but warmed up really quick & started giving lots of kisses. She was so good in the car. We got to the river & she was so excited smelling everything & even got in the water. She would keep looking up at you to make sure you were okay. Took her to Starbucks to get a puppuccino & she loved it. This girl has so much potential & love to give. I absolutely fell in love." "She is a sweet natured, well-behaved dog, did great in the car and on leash. She sits on command and enjoyed playing with her stick. She is a very smart girl. Such a love!" As you can tell, Paloma is well-behaved, but just looking for a loving foster and safe space to get better. Can you give her the love she so deserves? Apply to foster this cutie at saccountydogs.com

HAPPY TAILS Here’s an update guaranteed to bring you smiles!!! Bobby is sooooo happy and loved in his forever home!! His family says, 3 years of Bobby Can’t believe it’s been 3 years since we adopted him from @sac_shelter_pets_alive. First picture is the day we got him We have learned he LOVES people, walks, and food (except which he is terrified of) and takes treats very gently. He is a big grump when it comes to other dogs (still training through that one; m...aking some progress though!) and always, always brings you a gift when you come in the door. Shoes are his referred but toys are an OK second choice if a shoe isn’t laying around. Thank you for cherishing this amazing boy!!!

BOSCOE’S DAYS OUT Take this precious boy home Wonderful Boscoe had another great day out!!! Just look at that first photo !! Volunteers said: 1. We had a great time. We went for a walk along the river, he got in quite a few times and seemed to love it! We went to the park and walked around and lounged in the grass, where he loves his head rubbed! Great dog. Perfect mix of ready to go, but also calm when he got tired I’m assuming due to his arthritis. Then he just... plopped on the ground haha. Thanks so much! 2. Loved him! Honestly I think he would have also been perfectly fine cuddling all day :) Thank you for making his day!! Beloved Boscoe is seeking a special adopter as he has arthritis in his knees. He’s happy as can be, but it can start to slow him down. Ready to make him your new BFF? Fill out a foster or adoption application at saccountydogs.com.
