KoKo
Unicorn alert! Sweet, gentle KoKo has the look of a spaniel somethin’-somethin’. His beautiful wavy black coat is a pure delightful to run your fingers through. He weighs 27 pounds. KoKo has been terrific with kiddos while in our care, and is good with other dogs AND cats. In the sheltering world, we call a […]
Peanut
Who likes ’em sassy? Peanut, age three months, is smart, curious, bossy, fearless, and playful. She is also cuddly and very sweet. She’s doing very well with other dogs here, and seems very appropriate with cats as well. Peanut currently weighs nine pounds. The transferring shelter called her a Min Pin mix, but we can’t […]
Kona
All my friends know the low rider (yeah) The low rider is a little higher (yeah) The low rider drives a little slower Low rider is a real goer Kona, five months, was called a Basset/Mastiff mix by the transferring shelter. She’s only 13.5 inches tall at the shoulder, but already 40 pounds at five […]
Willow
Willow was adopted from us as a puppy a little over two years ago. We’re not sure what happened in the interim, but Willow was found living as a stray at the Caltrans maintenance station in Camp Connell. The staff were able to bring her to Calaveras County Animal Services, where her microchip was scanned. […]
Bear
Some of you may have seen the online kerfuffle in October, when a litter of 10-day-old puppies were taken to Bret Harte High School. Accounts vary on where they were initially found (we’ve heard several versions), and the whereabouts of the mother dog were sadly never determined. We were able to accept three when we […]
Tug
Six-month-old Tug doesn’t even weigh 12 pounds yet. We predict an adult weight of about 21 pounds (but cannot guarantee, of course). He’s a scruffy-somethin’-somethin’ and simply could not be cuter if he tried. He’s very sweet and people-oriented, and is everything you could possibly want in a puppy. What breed(s) is he? Your guesses […]
George (Hound Mix Puppy)
JERRY has been adopted. GEORGE is available, no appointment needed! Jerry and George are ten-week-old hound mix fellas ready to start their lifelong adventures with you! Mom was a purebred Black & Tan Coonhound. We don’t know what else might be in the DNA woodpile, but whatever it might be is ridiculously cute. These boys […]
Michael
ADOPTED Michael is what we call a “Calaveras shepherd.” Some cattle dog/heeler, some German Shepherd, maybe a smidge of border collie. He’s an absolutely delightful young dog, and already knows SIT, SHAKE, and LIE DOWN. He’s keeping his suite perfectly clean so might already be housetrained. Michael has gotten along beautifully with all but one […]
Butch
ADOPTED 12/23 *** A last-minute Christmas surprise! Fourteen-month-old Butch is (obviously) a basset hound. He’s a complete sweetiepie, and grew up with other dogs, cats, and kiddos. Butch has an appointment to be neutered on January 5, and we will require a refundable deposit in addition to his adoption fee (you will get it back […]
Bella
ADOPTED 12/23 *** Bella is a sweetheart. What breed is she? Why, she’s a purebred scruffy muffin. It’s a thing, we swear. Bella is the mama to three of the darling pups we placed yesterday. She missed the big adoption event because she was at her spay appointment. We’re hoping she’ll get a home for […]
