We received dozens of pleas from all over the state to help June. Her sad eyes said it all. Even though we know that it takes a special individual to adopt a senior dog, we couldn't turn our backs on this loyal companion. Named for the month that her new life will begin, June has already earned the devotion of our volunteers. June has told us that she wants to be the only canine queen in her castle, but in return, some lucky person will have a true friend. June is active and plays with toys. She loves to go for walks but she could use some work on her leash manners. Her ideal home would be as a single dog with a retired person, senior citizen, or someone who is home a great deal. UPDATE: June 20 Since June's rescue, we learned that she had a rather large mass on her chest and our wonderful vet, Dr. Earl, successfully removed not one but FOUR large tumors. The tumors were so big that it required that a 5" x 14" piece of skin be removed from June's abdomen. June is recovering in the hospital and she is expected to be back on her feet in a couple of weeks. UPDATE: July 15 To arrange to meet June, contact Dforsyth@socal.rr.com 9/28/08 |

Brad and Angie are a deeply bonded pair of "great white" shepherds. They are gentle and affectionate and don't seem to know how large they are. Our volunteers even watched them playing with some chihuahuas! Brad & Angie love everyone that they meet. We can't imagine what led a person or family to abandon these beautiful dogs, but someone invested a lot of love in them at some point in their lives.
Brad & Angie have just arrived so we are getting to know them better. Stay tuned for photos and more information coming shortly! These two dogs must be placed as a pair. The adoption fee for the two dogs is $600, which includes spaying/neutering, vaccinations, deworming and microchip. To arrange to meet them, please contact Lisalani2001@yahoo.com

When we heard about Brandon's situation, we knew that he needed a break. He and his companion dog,
a golden retriever, had been the lifelong companions of someone who
could no longer care for them. Brandon's buddy has found a home, so
now it's Brandon's turn to be loved. Brandon has been diagnosed with
a heart condition called arhythmia, which means that he has an
abnormal heartbeat and can affect his circulation when he gets
overly exerted. He is on daily heart medication to help control this
condition. It's impossible to predict whether this condition will
shorten Brandon's life or not, but he needs to lead a fairly sedate
lifestyle. He also requires daily medication to help him with some
arthritis in his spine. This poor guy needs someone extra special to
scoop him up and love him regardless of his medical needs. Brandon has completed a basic obedience class, and he was an honor student! He has a strong desire to please and he is so appreciative of praise. He is great on car rides. Brandon is a loving, loyal friend with a very sweet nature. He just loves it when someone tells him what a 'good boy' he is. Please don't overlook Brandon just because he's not 'perfect'. To arrange to meet Brandon, contact Johnandebhancock@aol.com for more info. 9/28/08 |

I’m
Ky,
a Mastiff mix & this is my longtime boxer buddy of 10 years, Yoda. We are 11 years old & looking for a new home together. We love people & other dogs, & will put up with cats, no problem. Ky had a pelvic fracture when he was young, but is still able to move about. Ky'spartner, Yoda, can frolic regularly. They are both arthritic & take mild pain medication, but are young at heart & love to ride in the car or snooze at your feet while watching TV. They have perfected the art of lounging around any human companion. We can assure you that they have some quality time left to keep you company. The foster parents are finding them a new home because their original owner had to move out of the country. She’d like to keep them, but she has too many animals already.

Need foster homes
for 2 schipperkes whose owner died.
A 16 year old male, Cubby,
neutered and a 6 year old female
Keeley, presumed spayed,
but waiting on vet records. He weighs just under 20#,
she is very large about 30# and seriously prematurely
grey. Cubby dribbles a bit, but Keeley is totally
housebroken. Cubby wears a belly band but has assumed
the position inappropriately. He is surprisingly agile
and has 2 or 3 years left in him. Their teeth are quite
good, and apparently had dentals performed regularly
until the last year or so. They were well loved pets who
were dumped outside when the owner either became too ill
to care for them or passed away.
I have more temperment info if someone would like to
know more about them. They are great at home with my 10
mo old schipperke and 7 year old labrador. And good
with children over the age of 4. Not tried with infants
or toddlers. Cats unknown, but probably will tolerate
based on Margie's experience.
The Schipperke is an agile, active watchdog and hunter of vermin. In appearance he is a small, thickset, cobby, black, tailless dog, with a fox-like face. The dog is square in profile and possesses a distinctive coat, which includes a stand-out ruff, cape and culottes. All of these create a unique silhouette, appearing to slope from shoulders to croup. Males are decidedly masculine without coarseness. Bitches are decidedly feminine without over refinement.
If anyone would like to see photos of them, they are at

Barney is an approximately 12 year old male basset hound mix rescued on his last day from the Harbor shelter. Although it looked like Barney got a rough start in life, the shelter volunteers realized what a gem he really is and found a foster home so he would be safe.
Barney enjoys going to the dog park and loves to ride in the car. Barney is a very mellow dog that gets along with all the dogs and cats he's ever met. He is also really good around children. He doesn't have a mean bone in his body. He likes to hang out with his foster mom and her dogs at the house.
Barney has been neutered, microchipped and is UTD on his shots. He recently even had his teeth cleaned. He's currently on thyroid medication that he will have to take for the rest of his life, but that doesn't seem to slow him down one bit. He's just looking to find a family of his own.
If interested in meeting Barney, please contact Ann at Ann Christensen at pogo59@yahoo.com.

ADOPT CORA! Female Korean Jindo dog. Born September 2000. Spayed 2000. Beautiful, fox-like appearance: short dense coat, red with cream markings, curly tail, prick ears, sharp muzzle, black nose, bright brown eyes, very alert, intelligent expression. Current on all vac's. Very housebroken. About 35 lbs, about 20 inches at shoulder. Excellent health. Teeth cleaned Nov. 2007. Gentle, loving, non-aggressive with humans. She is willing to give kisses, but not overwhelming about it. She is quite funny and playful, and does flips in the air when she is happy and excited, such as seeing people she hasn't seen in a while. She may try to avoid very aggressive, assertive people, but is not hostile. She has high energy, with a very intelligent, loyal, alpha personality. She's a very good watchdog - barks at trespassers, but not excessively. She likes to lie close to the front door or be watchful and alert in a front window when inside; likes to bask in the sun when outside. Cora requires a caregiver with prior dog training experience; we prefer someone who has had a Jindo, or other Asiatic, spitz-type breeds (Akita, chow, malamute, etc.) Her big issue is that she is completely unsocialized to other animals. She behaves well on leash around other dogs, but is very protective and territorial about her own home space. So she must be an only dog. And she has a very strong instinct to chase and catch small moving things, so cannot live with other types of pets -- even birds -- and needs a secure 6 foot fenced yard for exercise. Cora is very good and safe around children; however, we believe most children do not have the discernment or judgment to manage her - there is too much risk that a child will take her out off-leash, or accidentally let her slip out a door, or allow friends to bring other pets into the house with her. Therefore if adopters have children, they should be at least age 12, and the family should all be equally engaged and committed to Cora's care and training. She enjoys having time outdoors, but we will not let her become a yard dog or junkyard dog. We are willing to place her in a permanent no-kill retirement or rescue facility, if she can have her own indoor-outdoor space and some daily human attention. Cora started out being adopted from L.A. animal control, kept in a backyard pen for 3 years, rescued, fostered by same people who have her now, adopted (for 3 years, 05-08), now back in foster family's hands due to adopter's illness. Legally licensed and microchipped in foster person's name. Cora will be formally placed only after application form submission, reference check, home-check, in-person meeting, and trial visit. Adoption fee ($75-125 sliding scale) to be made as a donation to a mutually agreed-on rescue group. Patricia or Karl 510-527-3273 the-tranquil-ctr@earthlink.net Phone between 7 a.m. - 10 p.m. Pacific time, 7 days/wk
